Yes, I have maintained my own policy since RN times and would recommend you do the same as tramaRUs states. It's not that expensive about $1k a year depending on NP board certification and practice.
It doesn't. They read some of your charting, and pretty much that it is, lame extra cost that takes away from NP's. When I was in California I wrote my own protocols. I had one supervising physician that did not understand the scope and role of my cl...
It happens all the time in my clinic. Even when I was an RN. Since I'm a male in scrubs and a stethoscope. I do the same thing, introduce myself as so and so Nurse Practitioner, and add "you can call me by my first name or nurse". Invariably, I am ca...
Doc, I am an RN with a BSN currently in my second semester as an FNP student. As a Family Nurse Practitioner we are trained as primary care providers and sometimes generalist. So our education is geared towards managing this population in the outpat...

HI all! So any working RN's gong from a BSN to a MSN with FNP? I applied for the 2012 fall UCSF MSN/FNP and was wondering how many others have done so? I went to an information meeting earlier this year and there were a lot of people in the meeting, ...
Yes it is much cheaper than Samuel Merritt. The only reason to go there is for their CRNA program (only one in northern california). I was at the informational meeting last year, sorry if this was not clear.
I am a graduate RN from this program and yes the cost is correct. The federal student loan program will max you out at $6,250 a semester excluding summer and tuition and books will run you about $5,000 a semester so you have some extra to put away to...
