  1. PMHNP programs all going from MSN to DNP?

    xenogenetic replied to shannarini71's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, you make an excellent point. Following in line with your point, the question comes up of which universities will be willing to take the financial hit to their program in the beginning to cause...

  2. PMHNP programs all going from MSN to DNP?

    xenogenetic replied to shannarini71's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The director of my NP program told me that at this moment, the DNP demand is not there and that she knows of several schools that had tried going DNP only and had to offer the MSN again because they...

  3. On probation for being too "anxious"

    xenogenetic replied to fskye's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First, I have to point out, and give kudos, that I have just read almost 3 pages of responses to your post, fskye, and I am so proud to be a part of this profession because just look at all the great,...

  4. Do pharma reps target you??

    xenogenetic replied to alfredlikes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on what you are selling. Selling low priced, low ticket items makes for a meager and grinding career in sales, for sure. But, sales actually can be one of the highest paying professions if...

  5. Do pharma reps target you??

    xenogenetic replied to alfredlikes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, it's easy to see how it would not influence some prescribers because you have the powerful principles of reciprocity and sex appeal at work. Subconsciously, many prescribers will tend to be...

  7. Are NPs staff or providers?

    xenogenetic replied to orangepink's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Did you ever get anything in writing when you first started regarding the bonuses and vacation time? Being able to point to written terms that you both agreed upon would give you a leg to stand on in...

  9. NP working as an RN - advice needed

    xenogenetic replied to MassRN2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Degrees add potential options, but don't necessarily signify intent is a valid argument for u to make. I know RNs with MSNs and DNPs who continue to work as RNs for the almost unlimited amounts of OT...

  12. Maintaining health insurance - Working FT/attending NP school PT

    xenogenetic replied to DesertSky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, not unrealistic at all to try to maintain FT employment as I know the NP program I attended was designed to be completed on a part-time basis two courses at a time that were held once per week for...

  13. How do you explain the DNP?

    xenogenetic replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This is a good business example of how current markets dictate products (i.e. programs offered). The director of my MSN program told me that she has heard of a couple of programs that changed from...

    xenogenetic replied to miss_xtine's topic in Connecticut Nursing

  15. Is this true? Salary Question

    xenogenetic replied to MexicanFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    MikeFNPC, couple years, Mike? My advice is at the year mark you get written offers from other employers and stop letting your employer take money out of your pocket. It's called CII, Continuous Income...

  16. NP in.....fitness and wellness?

    xenogenetic replied to greygooseuria's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I second what Sauce stated. I used to have my PT certification (NSCA CSCS). The issue that I envision you running into is that you and your husband are not easily replicated, and in morphing any...

    xenogenetic replied to miss_xtine's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I am a Goodwin grad (both ADN + BSN) and I have not heard any negatives about my fellow grads with regards to having hospitals or schools recognize it. Goodwin now is the largest nursing program in...

  19. DNP required for NP?

    xenogenetic replied to ronrandallgabiola's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not only consider the extra money necessary to obtain your DNP, but also factor in the time involved for what you are getting back in return. Its the "opportunity cost" of what you are actively...

  20. My I'm going to medical school

    xenogenetic replied to synaptic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The debt, and don't forget to factor in the opportunity cost that going to med school comes with. The hours in med school will preclude you from working hours earning money in the present time as an...

  21. Negotiating my salary is exhausting!

    xenogenetic replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If she floated the balloon of messing with ur pay after ur already on board and sees you're ok with it and still showing up for work there then you've just set a financially unfavorable precedent for...

  22. Looking for advice on career change to PA or RN

    xenogenetic replied to lemoncayke's topic in Nursing Career

    Usually your science courses "age out" and are no longer generally accepted by programs anywhere from 2-5 years old from when you completed them. You general education credits usually don't expire at...

  24. Negotiating Salary -- Do it!

    xenogenetic replied to juschillin's topic in Advanced Practice

    TammyG, you are right, it will work out fine. To be a great negotiator you have to be willing to walk away. Some employers are great negotiators as well and are willing to walk away as well as you...

  25. Do schools give preference to full time vs part time applicants?

    xenogenetic replied to ritit123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They are implying that they would rather have more tuition money with full-time rather than less tuition money with part-time is my guess.
