    shibaowner replied to 2bABLE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  2. Major Anxiety & Depression starting this semester of Nursing school; Please help!

    shibaowner replied to JAS44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to get help. Ask your advisor about seeing a psychiatrist and a talk therapist. Do this ASAP so it doesn't impact school performance. Good

  3. New Grad NP hourly wage in Bay Area

    shibaowner replied to Dermnp33's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why should the NP show some initiative? Because the MD is her BOSS. Also, he is not a mind reader. Is it such a hardship to ask for what you want and be able to justify it? I am sick of NPs...

  4. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    shibaowner replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside nursing should not be used as a residency program for future NPs. This is unfair to RN staff, RNs who truly want a nursing career, and RN employers. Employee "churn" is not only disruptive,...

  5. Relationship with patient?

    shibaowner replied to Nurse2bklingon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are supposed to wait 1 year before a relationship with a former patient. I had a similar situation when I was a student, but decided the risk was not worth it. I don't know this person or how...

  6. NO experience new graduate BSN student applying for MSN-FNP graduate school?

    shibaowner replied to 2bABLE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Let's say NPs with RN experience are better. This would be reflected in malpractice insurance cost. So do such NPs pay less? No, they do

  7. Undergrad Debt and going for NP

    shibaowner replied to peaceful2100's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are loan forgiveness programs for RNs and NPs. There are also scholarships available for MSN

  8. NO experience new graduate BSN student applying for MSN-FNP graduate school?

    shibaowner replied to 2bABLE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Interesting, but it is just the responder's personal opinion, as she clearly states. If RN experience should be required, why doesn't AANP or ANCC take an official

    shibaowner replied to 2bABLE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you know an RN who is diagnosing and prescribing? If so, they are performing illegal

  10. NO experience new graduate BSN student applying for MSN-FNP graduate school?

    shibaowner replied to 2bABLE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    At least I have provided some evidence on whether RN experience is necessary for NP success. Those who disagree with me have NO evidence to support their bias, except for anecdotes. I do feel there...

  11. Baby vs no baby... help!

    shibaowner replied to Abby_3191's topic in General Students

    Why would your medical bills be higher if you waited to have a baby? If you can wait to have the baby, you should wait at least until you have finished clinicals and have the baby when you are in the...

  12. NO experience new graduate BSN student applying for MSN-FNP graduate school?

    shibaowner replied to 2bABLE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Obviously, you can express your opinion. However, as a BSN you are not qualified to sit in judgment of NP training. The evidence that does exist does not support your view. Personally, I trust the...

  13. Loan Forgiveness

    shibaowner replied to kiacon510's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you are confusing loan repayment vs loan forgiveness. I wrote an article about this called "How to pay for nursing school" or something like that. It is under pre-nursing

  14. NO experience new graduate BSN student applying for MSN-FNP graduate school?

    shibaowner replied to 2bABLE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have said again and again that for an acute care NP (in hospital) bedside nursing is valuable and most acute care NP schools do require RN experience. That is not true for primary care! Why is...

  16. Walk ins California BRN

    shibaowner replied to Jessarica's topic in California Nursing

    You can google the nursing associations I mentioned. If your application is cancelled, you have to start over again. I suggest you get all your docs together and resubmit them in hard copy via...

  17. NO experience new graduate BSN student applying for MSN-FNP graduate school?

    shibaowner replied to 2bABLE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am an NP who does not have RN bedside experience. I am doing great! I got hired 2 months after finishing my MSN and I had 3 total offers, without even looking that hard for a job. My classmates...

  22. Walk ins California BRN

    I don't know about walkins, but if your husband is nearby, it's worth a shot. Some people have reported success in contacting the California Nurses Association or American Nurses Association...

  23. Advice on Grad Programs & Cost

    shibaowner replied to TMedic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, DNP was supposed to be required in 2015, I believe. We all know what happened with that! Also, even if they try to require DNP in the future, you would be grandfathered in. Frontier is an...

  25. How to Pay for Nursing School

    shibaowner replied to shibaowner's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a couple notes: Those links that say "400 bad request" should work. Let me know if they do not. Loan Repayment programs - some more: - Nurse Corps - HRSA - most states also have loan repayment...
