    bryanleo9 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know 3 male NP students who had to drop out as they couldn't beg their way into a woman's health clinical site. I know others that had to drop not being able to get into peds rotation as well....

    bryanleo9 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    bryanleo9 replied to JMDCNOR's topic in Online Distance Learning

    bryanleo9 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. FNP to Psych NP

    bryanleo9 replied to NYNPMAN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Volunteer in an acute psych unit for awhile and you will see why there is such a shortage. It is definitely not for everyone. The burn out and psych NP's leaving the field is a problem. I have...

  9. Worried about the future of ICU nursing

    bryanleo9 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Critical Care

    Same with NP's. So many schools pumping out grads and the jobs just aren't there in this area. I have searched repeatedly and see few jobs with the vast majority requiring 2 years experience. So the...

  12. Preparing for FNP school

    bryanleo9 replied to Dana.mann122's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The Bates physical examination guide is amazing. Grab that one and an advanced assessment book focusing on differential diagnosis. I would also recommend a quality dematology text with high quality...

    bryanleo9 replied to TelemetrytoBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  15. AGNP vs FNP

    bryanleo9 replied to flipper628's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have noticed about 4 FNP jobs for every 1 ANP job in this area. The words "must be able to see patients of all ages" keeps coming up in these ads. I would prefer to go ANP, but I feel the market...

  16. WGU MSN degrees appropriate for a Post-MSN FNP program???

    bryanleo9 replied to anchorRN's topic in Western Governors University

    There are many posts on this site stating which schools accept WGU masters. I remember reading a post where the person got accepted into each and every post Masters FNP program they applied for with...

    bryanleo9 replied to schallerjasmine's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    3 years is based on training new grad RN's. Many if which are going straight into NP school without a grasp on their RN position and role. We often talk about the low standards NP schools have in...

  18. going straight into becoming an NP after BSN?

    bryanleo9 replied to schallerjasmine's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am shocked most NP programs don't require at least 3 years on RN experience. They should require more experience

  19. How often are you asked for opiates?

    bryanleo9 replied to bryanleo9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  20. How often are you asked for opiates?

    bryanleo9 replied to bryanleo9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes crush and float is the order for narcotics. Some lvns don't follow this though which fuels the inmate drug trade. Other times you will do mouth checks on them, only for them to go back to the...

  21. When do you plan to schedule your clinicals?

    bryanleo9 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I work full time monday to Friday from 8 - 4pm (basically when doctors offices are open.) Going part time is not an option for me. These work hours see to eliminate the vast majority of clinical...

  22. How often are you asked for opiates?

    bryanleo9 replied to bryanleo9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Gabapentin was heavily prescribed and abused in the prison system for decades. It is now being weaned off of every inmate that doesn't have true neuropathy. They are not happy at all. I have been...

  23. How often are you asked for opiates?

    bryanleo9 replied to bryanleo9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With the government cracking down on these drugs, it would be wise to be very selective with opiates or the highly sought after psych meds. In the prison, the inmates crush up and snort a variety of...

    bryanleo9 replied to JustSN1219's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
