1. How long is too long away from RN role? NP wanting to go back to RN

   CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Career Support

   I know that this probably is not going to make sense to most people. But I have been and APRN for a little over 2 years. I have decided that the stress and responsibility is not worth it for me. And I would rather return to being either a procedural ...

2. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

   CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

   Like your partner in crime, you seem to make so many assumptions about nursing. Again I'm glad you found a profession where your brilliance can shine. You are incorrect in that most physicians overestimate NPs abilities. They don't care. Becaus...

3. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

   CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

   There was some areas in which we had common ground. But now I realize you are not grounded in facts. And by the way, when I meant the rural role, I meant as primary care providers or even helping to smaller specialty practices in underserved areas. C...

4. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

   CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

   Role transition is not "fluff." It has also been studied with new grad RNs. The research goes back to the"good old days" before the advent of online learning. In addition, despite all you advocate you cannot change how an employer perceives the NP ro...

5. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

   CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

   First off, I have no ire towards anyone. You commented on MY post. You and others are making broad based assumptions on ALL NPs because SOME, hell I'll even be generous and say a plurality, suck. You mentioned advocating for residencies. That is grea...

6. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

   CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

   "NP turned MD/DO" means what exactly? I have met plenty of crappy MDs. The thing is though, that MDs close ranks and protect each other (even at times when they shouldn't). Juxtapose that with nursing, and suddenly everyone is an "expert" or thinks t...

7. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

   CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

   I always love this site because anonymous people with snarky attitudes love to apply their opinion broadly to every NP. So if I told you, I don't want independent practice at this point in my career, I actually WANT to learn and collaborate with my M...

8. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

   CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

   That's great you realize it's a systemic problem. However your initial messages had a blaming tone of the NP: "20-somethings wanting to escape the bedside" "you're supposed to be autonomous.” Again you are conflating poor educational training with la...

9. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

   CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

   Well, let's just say this. I did make a comment on a public forum, correct. However, your initial response and subsequent responses made a lot of presuppositions. You say you are tired of precepting 20-somethings with meager experience wanting to lea...

10. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

    Oh, I get it now. Your get off my lawn” attitude doesn’t help anyone. First I’ll have you know that there are many nurses (including myself) who went to “in person” programs. How completely ridiculous that you would believe that asking for feedback/g...

11. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

    If medical school alone made physicians ready to be providers, there would be no need for residencies. And being an RN does not count. While being an RN brings some clinical judgment and medical knowledge, the role does emphasize diagnosis or higher ...

12. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

    Well, I really wish I could find something else. But my market here is saturated it appears. And I've only been doing this for 6 weeks. At times, I really DO feel as if my license is being compromised. Prime example: this past Friday I went to...

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

    If only, I wish I could do a fellowship. But there aren't really any here in Florida, oddly enough. And when I brought up an out-of-state fellowship to my husband right after I graduated, let's just say he wasn't on board LOL.

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

    It’s kinda funny you say that about answering questions and triaging…because they have me doing that too LOL. Sigh ?

15. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in NP

    Thanks for your response! I could not agree more. Being an RN and an APRN is so different! During the interview process, I did relay those concerns. I was assured I wouldn’t be expected to be at the level of an seasoned NP. And because my credentiali...
