2. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. There are many audio recordings and YouTube videos availabe on the internet. Practice on every person you can, including...
My first NP Program was AGPCNP. My first job was in a primary care facility and I am extremely grateful I had this experience. Unless you are absolutely, 100% sure you want to specialize in a...
I have never heard the term "toy" hospital used. Small, rural hospital is sufficient. Why would you expect other people to understand what a "toy" hospital is? I envisioned something like Santa's...
What is a rural toy hospital? Is that in the land of broken toys? I'm not sure that fixing broken toys is a useful skill in providing healthcare to people.

You are confusing Medicaid cuts with Medicaid expansion with problems of rural hospitals.
1. Rural hospitals - my first NP job was in a very remote, rural area with one tiny rural hospital and a...

I am providing you with an employer's view. We hired CDU PMHNPs and greatly regret it. Just because an NP is working does not mean they are a good quality NP. In fact, one of our "bad apples"...
I'm sorry, but this is a very poor quality program. I am now in charge of recruiting and hiring for a very large psych practice, and I refuse to hire anyone from Charles Drew. Our practice made the...

Ditto Corey Narry. In general, the students that pay for preceptors through services go to crappy schools. As an MD, is this how you want to spend your time?
NP students going to reputable...
Uh, posting a video on the internet and asking for money, is not, by definition "private." I don't care what any nurse does privately sexually with other consenting adults. Posting a sexual video,...
