1. Specialty Advice

   rynophiliac posted a topic in Advanced

   I'm looking for advice on specialty options. I'm adult-gero NP and really don't want to work in family practice. I prefer to know a lot about a little. I'm looking at specialty options right now and having a hard time deciding. I would prefer to t...

2. Rheumatology NP

   rynophiliac replied to annfaith's topic in Advanced

   My brother in law is a rheumatologist and I have talked with him about his hiring process for NP's in his practice. First thing he looks for is rheumatology experience - although 99% of applicants have none and he realizes this and is prepared to tr...

3. Can NPs own a specialty clinic?

   rynophiliac replied to rynophiliac's topic in NP

   The reason why I am asking this question is because I really don't want to work in a family practice. I chose the FNP route because it has more options but after I graduate I would like to work in a specialty clinic like dermatology or rheumatology....

4. Can NPs own a specialty clinic?

   rynophiliac posted a topic in NP

   I know many NPs that work in specialty clinics (cardiology, pain management, rheumatology, dermatology, etc) but can NPs own a specialty clinic themselves? It seems like all NP-owned clinics are family practice?

5. Any FNP programs that let you apply before completing a BSN?

   rynophiliac replied to rynophiliac's topic in NP Students

   I know there are program out there that don't require a BSN at all, but they make you take an extra year to year and a half of courses to bridge you to the NP. They are ADN-FNP programs. I will have my BSN in just a few months and just want to get ...

6. Any FNP programs that let you apply before completing a BSN?

   rynophiliac posted a topic in NP Students

   I am wondering if there are any FNP programs that will let you apply to their program before you have completed your BSN? I will graduate with my BSN in December but would like to start the FNP program right away if possible. Does anyone know of an...

7. Any Psyche RNs go to FNP program?

   rynophiliac replied to rynophiliac's topic in NP Students

   Nursegirl, thank you for your comments. I wish I was able to get a job in med-surg right now to start gaining that experience. The only problem is that all the hospitals where I live require experience to get a job! I wish the job market wasn't th...

8. Which FNP programs are the shortest?

   rynophiliac replied to rynophiliac's topic in NP Students

   That would be great I didn't realize that this was even a possibility. I planned on doing some training courses with the American College of Rheumatology for NPs and PAs after I completed the FNP but some clinicals in Rheumatology would be great too....

9. Which FNP programs are the shortest?

   rynophiliac replied to rynophiliac's topic in NP Students

   Nursegirl, I'm not sure if you read through the entire thread or not but we have already covered this. This thread is not about how about how effective accelerated FNP programs are in preparing their graduates for clinical practice, it is to identify...

10. Which FNP programs are the shortest?

    rynophiliac replied to rynophiliac's topic in NP Students

    Sapphire, are you saying that I can do clinicals in a rheumatology clinic and get credit for them in the program? That would be great. I have never heard this before.

11. Which FNP programs are the shortest?

    rynophiliac replied to rynophiliac's topic in NP Students

    I would really like to see some more NP programs offer subspecialties. This is where the med students have us beat, they get to do a residency and learn their specialty as part of their training. I really want to do rheumatology, to my knowledge thei...

13. Which FNP programs are the shortest?

    rynophiliac replied to rynophiliac's topic in NP Students

    It is very nice, the secret is to keep your bills low, don't buy a big house and new car, etc. I will still be working one 16 hour shift on Saturday but that's it, and I think I can handle an accelerated FNP program while working one day a week. If I...
