   FNP too soon?

   DYS NP replied to Guest1030824's topic in NP Students

   I think it depends on what you can afford and how quickly you want to finish your degree. I worked as a nurse part-time in my field during the nonclinical portion of my program, got some tuition reimbursement, then left my nursing job to gun through ...

   PNP salary negotiation

   DYS NP replied to newpnp20's topic in NP

   Back up your argument with objective data from glassdoor and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Do a search for "Nurse Practitioner Salary GA." Many sites can be sorted by experience and/or type of practice. Good luck!

   Managing Ancillary Staff

   DYS NP replied to Babyboss 19's topic in NP

   She's entering the labs, but I assume you still need to cosign? If not, you could request adding that level of control in the EMR, or limit the types of tests she can order to standard panels. Also, you might try approaching it with her as preventing...

   How much did NP school prepare you?

   DYS NP replied to Alexxoxox's topic in NP

   That's true OMH. Honestly, it's a pro or a con, since you can end up siloed in one area of practice without learning skills in other areas.

   How much did NP school prepare you?

   DYS NP replied to Alexxoxox's topic in NP

   On the other hand, for most PA schools, clinical experience is recommended but not required for admission (this includes highly competitive PA programs like Yale, Cornell, BU). The undergraduate degree doesn't have to relate to health care. The 2000-...

   FNP Air force loan repayment

   DYS NP replied to nursebee1703's topic in NP

   Hi NurseBee, There are non-military loan repayment options also, if you're willing to work for a year or two in an underserved area. http://nhsc.hrsa.gov/loanrepayment/ loanrepaymentprogram https://bhw.hrsa.gov/loansscholarships/nhsc

   Does name of school matter?

   DYS NP replied to ToBeMSNNP's topic in NP Students

   where are they going to get all these preceptors, short of paying them a substantial sum? >> Good question! On the plus side, at least the burden shifts from the student to the program, which may help weed out bad programs. Willingness and abil...

   Does name of school matter?

   DYS NP replied to ToBeMSNNP's topic in NP Students

   Exactly, UMB. Again, students in a preceptor bind, make some noise to the CCNE.

   Does name of school matter?

   DYS NP replied to ToBeMSNNP's topic in NP Students

   CCNE 2018 update to accreditation standards, in effect Jan 1, 2019: Key Element II-B: “Programs that have a direct care focus (including but not limited to, post-licensure baccalaureate and nurse educator tracks) must provide direct care experiences...

    Does name of school matter?

    DYS NP replied to ToBeMSNNP's topic in NP Students

    This is NOT true. It is important to be mindful of how to locate preceptors BEFORE you actually enroll in school. >> Hi, TraumaRUS, Can you show me where you got your information? Thanks, Emma

    Does name of school matter?

    DYS NP replied to ToBeMSNNP's topic in NP Students

    I heard that, as of 2019, the CCNE requires MSN programs to find preceptors for students who can't find them, or that program loses accreditation. Is this correct? If so, and you're a student in a preceptor bind, make some noise to the CCNE. That sho...

    Pros and Cons of Direct Entry NP Programs?

    DYS NP replied to daisychains11's topic in NP Students

    NP clinical requirements apply to all students, regardless of where or how they got their RN. It's hard to see how more than 5000 hours of RN experience will make us better NPs--a different profession requiring different skills—but I’m open to hearin...

    Pros and Cons of Direct Entry NP Programs?

    DYS NP replied to daisychains11's topic in NP Students

    I'm in my final year of the Northeastern DE program. I applied to all of the programs mentioned above, and chose NEU because it had a pedi track (my first choice, Simmons, did not)awarded a BSN after the undergrad portion (most do not)guaranteed clin...

    Direct-entry MSN

    DYS NP replied to bringslite's topic in Pre-Nursing

    From someone in the last year of Northeastern's PNP direct-entry program: It takes 5 years to complete full-time, not including the 8 pre-reqs needed before applying (stats, micro, A&P 1&2, chem 1&2, etc). Those took an additional year an...
