  1. Lost

    As they say in weight-lifting: no pain, no gain. It takes some sacrifice to advance in life. And the more work required, generally the greater the reward, like earning an M.D. or J.D. If you...
  2. In Virginia, Susanna Gibson, NP, a candidate for the state legislature, was discovered to have had livestream sex acts with her husband. "Susanna Gibson encouraged viewers to send her...
  3. Ms. Gibson defintely has issues. She was arrested in September and charged with assault and battery on a family member in October 2025. Not exactly a shining example of personal conduct. And not...
  4. 1. Get the best stethoscope you can 2. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. There are many audio recordings and YouTube videos availabe on the internet. Practice on every person you can, including...
  5. 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...
  6. BBB and the future of nursing

    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...
  7. BBB and the future of nursing

    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. 1. If changes don't take place until...
  8. BBB and the future of nursing

    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...
  9. The nursing school admissions offices should be able to answer your questions. If you don't get a response, then go down there in person. Just send in the application and transcripts you have....
  10. Should I get an attorney after failing NCLEX x 3?

    Why on earth would you need an attorney? You need to pass the NCLEX. That is on you and no one else. Every single practicing nurse in the US has managed to pass the NCLEX. Complete the...
  11. ADN, how to get accepted into one

    It depends on the school. Nursing schools vary in admissions criteria. Many schools consider related experience in admissions
  12. International MD wants to become a nurse

    I also want to add that geographically, most of California has a provider shortage. It seems most physicians only want to live on the coast (San Fran, L.A., Orange County, San Diego). Well, that...
  13. International MD wants to become a nurse

    I don't know why you want to become an RN. We have a shortage of MDs in many parts of the U.S. and there are programs to expedite foreign MD immigration and practice. Becoming a PA (Physician's...
  14. I am a PMHNP and need advice on if this pt is malingering and their request to get SSI. Have been seeing a pt, let's call them X, who just graduated from high school. They are on the autism...
  15. Supervising NP students

    I also wanted to add a note that the pay is not worth it. I was offered about $1500 for one semester for one student. Given the number of hours required, plus supervising and so on, it worked out to...
  16. 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"...
  17. 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...
  18. Supervising NP students

    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...
  19. 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,...
  20. Maybe you should look up the top executives with the Australian organization and identify which ones would have authority over this area. Then write a nice letter and mail each of them using FedEx or...
  21. She showed very poor professional judgement. And she also asked for money for these sexual videos. That makes her just one step removed from a prostitute. Then, when this came to light, she tried...
  22. Need Psych Nurse perspective

    I'm glad your RN experience has been helpful to you. But that is you personally, not everyone. Again, the evidence indicates RN experience is not required, nor is it a predictor of, NP competence,...
  23. Returning to work as APRN after 3 years

    I hire NPs as part of my job duties. Unfortunately, I would not hire an NP with only 1 year of NP experience who then took several years off work. PT work might be a good option for you, given your...
  24. New Grad Nurse Gap Year?

    I also wanted to add that taking a year off after nursing school will likely put you at a disadvantage when looking for a job. Employers will be concerned that you have forgotten what you learned in...
  25. BBB and the future of nursing

    Again, you are not providing enough information to support your conclusion. I have discussed this in previous posts on this
