1. ICU NP's in the Northwest

   pnwagnp replied to ff_king2001's topic in Advanced

   I've worked at 2 different hospital systems in WA and have not seen NP's in the critical care setting. All the NP's I have had contact with were either specialty or hospitalists in the med/surg/tele units. Some of the more experienced NP's sometimes ...

   pnwagnp replied to flipper628's topic in NP

   I got my DEA # in one week and another classmate of mine also got hers in one weeks time. We are both in different states. I was glad I had mine before my first job, and they reimbursed me for the DEA licensing.

9. Acute NP schools?

   pnwagnp replied to Eurobreakstar's topic in NP Students

   You could seek out a dual FNP/AGACNP program, but that would be outside WA state. From what I know there are no hospitals on the western side that have peds and adults inpatient together. Most all patients are taken to either a Childrens Hospital or ...

    pnwagnp replied to luvis4kips's topic in Washington

    When I was working as a RN in Seattle with 3-4 years experience, certification pay and not taking benefits on per diem I was making ~$40/hr but a lot of times I would also have a student or new hire with me which gave me additional $1/hr, or staying ...

    I know a couple people who went through that program and you can easily drive out of the area to hang out in other places on the weekend easily. It can get depressing due to the lack of activities available and weather during the Fall/Winter. I think...

14. Does the DNP really improve your clinical skills, salary or job market opportunities?

    pnwagnp replied to NurseRN2014's topic in NP Students

    If there is no choice and you want to stay in your current location then the only other option would be to seek distance programs. For me, who finished a masters level NP program I don't have desire to go back to get more debt for really little to no...

15. Evaluating FNP vs AGNP, acute vs primary care

    pnwagnp replied to eviewi's topic in NP Students

    If you see yourself wanting to work with peds in the future then you should go for a FNP. I don't think AGNP programs are easier to get into, esp in the schools in WA State as most programs in the Seattle area are highly competitive. You should thou...
