  1. Sexism in Advanced Practice?

    I'm sorry you went through this, but the question was about sexism in Advanced Practice, not for RNs. I think pretty much every woman that worked in the 20th century experienced sexism. Sexism has...
  2. How to change specialties as an FNP?

    Most primary care providers do a fair amount of basic mental health. In fact, primary care providers are the #1 source of mental health care, as they are qualified to treat basic depression, anxiety,...
  3. How to change specialties as an FNP?

    FNPs are not educated or trained to work in an acute-care setting. Yes, some hospitals will hire them, but they shouldn't. This is a huge liability risk. NPs should practice within the scope of...
  4. I saw them advertising on TV and was wondering about that. Thanks for the link - I want to check it out. The legality seems
  5. Personally, I find this very disturbing: "Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to prescribe medications to patients -- if a new bill makes its way through Congress. The proposed...
  6. How to change specialties as an FNP?

    Start applying for jobs in other specialties. Think about what experience you have as an FNP that is related to other specialties. For example, if you have treated a lot of patients with acute...
  7. I agree. Hopefully this bill will be squashed. AI is in no way ready for this type of work. They still haven't been able to produce a truly safe self-driving car! Yet this idiot in Congress thinks...
  8. Sexism in Advanced Practice?

    Me too. Clinics and practices have M.A.s and administrative staff. So I have no idea what kind of secretarial work the OP is referring to. Larger clinics may also employ LVNs and RNs. The OP...
  9. Sexism in Advanced Practice?

    I've never faced sexism as an NP. Most NPs are women. I worked in primary care and at that position had a female CMO. No sexism experienced there. Now I work in outpatient mental health and no...
  10. I just want to clarify. When you request that a copy of your transcript be sent to another school, you also have the option to request a copy of your transcript be sent to yourself. So request a...
  11. Remote or no!

    I don't think the VA is going away anytime soon. For one thing, as most of us know, the private healthcare system is already overburdened, with primary care patients having to wait months for an...
  12. Call Admissions and find out if you can just submit your application with the Sac City equivalency form. They should also be able to tell you if they will accept the Sierra College
  13. You can send message to administrator abou
  14. Please private message me.
  15. Pre-employment THC

    I'm not sure. However, once when I had a drug test, out of curiosity I asked if ETOH would show up. The tech said that if someone drank the night before the test, it would not show up. That led me...
  16. Pre-employment THC

    The brutal truth is that cannabis is not legal in every state. And even in states where it is legal, some employers test for it and it can be a basis for not getting a job or losing a job. If...
  17. Wow! The program is getting worse, unfortunately. I finished it in 2021. What happened was that the previous PMHNP director retired - she was excellent. The new head of the program startedin 2020...
  18. What should I do if I go into nursing?

    While you are in nursing school, you will have different clinical rotations in areas such as med/surg, psych, L&D, community/public health, pediatrics, etc. That will provide you with the...
  19. Is the nursing field moving toward wanting DNP's?

    It is the schools that "want" DNPs. Many have eliminated the MSN NP programs and only offer a DNP. Frankly, the DNP offers nothing from a clinical perspective. I thought about getting one and...
  20. Women's Health Nurse Practitioner School

    In addition to the advice already provided, think long and hard about a Women's Health specialty. That is narrowly focused, meaning fewer employment opportunities. Carefully research the job...
  21. Is there any hope for me?

    Many new NPs feel the same way. Kudos to you for finishing up NP school. You don't need RN experience to be a primary care NP. Working as an RN is not going to give you NP experience, which is what...
  22. Congratulations! I don't think it is a good idea to start your ICU program and your MSN at the same time. Ask Georgetown if you can defer. Also, it is not hard at all to get scholarships as an...
  23. My cohorts hate me

    You are coming across as very heavy handed. I said in my original reply that I agreed with other responses to only talk about trivial matters unless one knows the other people very well. The OP is...
  24. My cohorts hate me

    I sure wouldn't want to work with you. I am half Korean, lived in Korea, and originally majored in East Asian Studies at Yale. So I do indeed know a lot about Asian culture, history, economics, and...
  25. My cohorts hate me

    For goodness' sake, lighten up. The OP was joking. The real problem is that people are way too sensitive now. Asian culture is different from American culture. Asians routinely say things to other...
