1. Lost my NP job Friday

   3**835Y replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in Advanced

   My advise is to find a job tomorrow. Don't worry about the role at this point. I've known NP's that choose to do similar work as RN's. Maybe you could get into a home health setting where you are traveling to patients homes. It isn't perfect........

2. ANCC vs. AANP Certification?

   3**835Y posted a topic in NP

   From what I've been able to gather the ANCC is a more friendly test for those who fail the first time. (with the ANCC you can retake the test sooner and more times per year and there is no need to spend extra money taking CEU's if you fail the first...

3. Thinking of switching from nurse to elementary teacher. Bad idea?

   3**835Y replied to Skips's topic in Career Support

   Plus.........You can work 8 months as a teacher and 4 months as a nurse. Life is short. Don't think about it so much and follow your heart. In the end what you are worried about now will not matter to you then.

4. Thinking of switching from nurse to elementary teacher. Bad idea?

   I've worked as a nurse in schools here in Texas before........If a teacher works in a "title 1" school for a couple of years the state will forgive $15,000. Then.......you pay the minimum on your Fed Loans for 10 yrs and all is forgiven after that. ...

5. How to Answer "What's Your Greatest Weakness?"

   3**835Y replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Support

   I always say something to the effect........"My weakness is remembering to explain to the patient/family exactly what I'm doing when I'm providing a procedure. I sometimes forget that whether the task is simple or difficult, not everyone is on the s...

   3**835Y posted a topic in NP Students

   I will be starting my FNP program in a couple of months and I have been pre-reading my pharmacotherapeutic textbook. So.... I apologize ahead of time if my question seems a bit basic. I have a question on what is the best practice in prescribing m...

   Here's a peer reviewed "conspiracy" article if you are interested. JAMA Network | JAMA Internal Medicine | Impact of Influenza Vaccination on Seasonal Mortality in the US Elderly Population If you want to debate vaccines, then fine....Name the tim...

8. FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

   3**835Y replied to 3**835Y's topic in NP Students

   The efficacy and morality of vaccines? I'm sure you, a "healthcare provider practicing evidence based practice" is aware of the recent outing of the 10 year coverup at the NIH which shows not only that the flu shot is ineffective with seniors.....bu...

9. FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

   3**835Y replied to 3**835Y's topic in NP Students

   Yes....it's true. I have had this conversation with many RN's. Hospitalists might be a different story though.

10. FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

    3**835Y replied to 3**835Y's topic in NP Students

    I have heard from other RN's that many doctors recommend them for others, but do not get the flu shot or boosters themselves. So it makes me wonder how difficult it will be to find a doctor at a private practice (not hospital affiliated) who migh...

11. FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

    3**835Y replied to 3**835Y's topic in NP Students

    I was vaccinated as a child/teenager and my university didn't require titers. I personally think it was an answer to prayer and God helped me find a BSN school in Kansas that wasn't so hard core on vaccinations/immunizations. Now, I have been ac...

    Can any FNP's comment on their CURRENT employment and whether or not their current position required proof of vaccinations/flu shots?

13. FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

    3**835Y replied to 3**835Y's topic in NP Students

    I ask because I am not able to receive vaccinations due to religious reasons. I have recently been accepted into a FNP program and I brought this to the attention of the counselors and it was not a problem. Now that I have been accepted, I am tr...

    So in Massachusetts most all doctors require their FNP's to show proof of vaccinations upon hire?

15. FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

    3**835Y posted a topic in NP Students

    Hello. I was wondering if most clinics or other work sites that FNP's work at require vaccinations. Do the doctors even ask for them upon hire? Same question with PMHNP's.......Any vaccinations required?
