  1. LLC?

    This is a good discussion. I'm getting ready to enter into a contract as a nurse practitioner that would make me an independent contractor. The company I'm working for would pay me and I would have a 1099, and be responsible for my own taxes my own M...
  2. What diagnostics can NPs order independently

    For nurse practitioners I don't think the question really is about what you can order, it is more about what you should order. Meaning the less expensive test that works is the most appropriate one if you could order a CT, why order an MRI...
  3. It is year-round. Each class is 8 to 12 weeks depending on which class it is. I don't think we're allowed to double up on classes like I did back in the BSN portion, but I haven't asked. The entire program will take three years full-time.

    yes IM. I actually finished my RN to BSN, and started into the acute care nurse practitioner program. For the capstone I did mine on cardiac rehab. I picked that, because it is something that I dealt with at work all the time, and I was able to see h...
  9. Goals while working with a preceptor

    Some of the best objectives that my precepts have handed over to me are things like "become comfortable talking to doctors", "understand labs better", organize, prioritize, become more comfortable delegating to the CNA, and one of my favorite do mor...
  10. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    hi, I just thought it jump in here for a second and say a few things. I started the RN-BSN program in August 2012 and completed it in July 2013. I doubled up one class and that was during spirituality I took the ethics class and the spirituality cla...
  11. I am also in my 3rd course of the ACNP at GCU (online), so far it isn't too bad. Lots of paper writing, and group projects that span over the whole 8 week course. I have not had a hard time juggling school and 3 12 hour shifts. Right now I'm in an et...
  12. Anyone in GCU ACNP program ?

    I am starting the online ACNP Program on August 28. How did you guys like your first classes?
  13. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    In 2010 when I took the NCLEX, I tried the Pearson view trick. It worked for me. I went home I got online I tried to read register for the NCLEX again and it said that I couldn't so I figured it meant I passed. It was right I did.
