  1. Any regret taking NHSC loan repayment?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Lkat's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have a good friend getting this nhsc loan repayment. He loves the money and happens to want to live in BFE, but he's stuck even if he wanted to move and almost had to due to an exigent circumstance....

  2. Collaborative Physician Issues

    InquisitiveAPN replied to nbtw's topic in Advanced Practice

    I ran into a physician not doing their sort of quality control aspects of collaboration. It was a very flighty doctor who had trouble doing anything (no exaggeration) in life and wasn't avoiding the...

  3. Army Reserve Initial Obligation & Incentives

    InquisitiveAPN posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hello, nurses. I've just started following this forum and felt the need to log in and ask clarification with army reserve direct commissioning. I'm loving the military threads. If the other...

  4. Army Reserve Initial Obligation & Incentives

    InquisitiveAPN replied to InquisitiveAPN's topic in Government, Military

    I think he's probably talking about AMEDD Professional Medical Command and got lost in the idealized lifestyle polished by recruiters. APMC is for medical reservists who aren't in proximity to a...

  5. PMHNPs what do you prefer: Inpatient or Outpatient?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Outpatient. Closes on weekends, holidays, nights, and rarely is the patient belligerent. It's all perspective. Inpatient gets people on meds that can't be funded on the outpatient side with little...

  6. Best Doctorate Degree

    InquisitiveAPN replied to KansasFNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    MPH and doctorate in that field, PhD in

  7. NP salary/job market

    InquisitiveAPN replied to SouthernNurse27's topic in Advanced Practice

    I feel like salaries have decreased n from employers I've talked with. I took a job with a base pay and productivity pay model, after several years left, and my replacement was offered 20k less in...

  8. Seeking Info

    InquisitiveAPN replied to SASewell's topic in Government, Military

    I'd like to make your acquaintance particularly if you have any how it works for reservists. Good luck with BOLC! I I'm hoping to make the October board as the only 66R but may be held up by a medical...

  9. Any NPs in EMS or the Fire Dept?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to eg1014's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, the flight medics tended to be the best medics in that their tradecraft was best honed. I knew several that became RNs to get a pay bump and be able to push more meds but stayed in the birds...

  10. Any NPs in EMS or the Fire Dept?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to eg1014's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Most of the time it isn't, but like anything in life it has the potential to be very unsafe because it's a completely uncontrolled environment. The partner (EMT basic) that usually worked with me was...

  11. Army Reserve Initial Obligation & Incentives

    InquisitiveAPN replied to InquisitiveAPN's topic in Government, Military

    Actually, he's telling something another recruiter once spoke of to me. It's a program for seriously demanded medical specialties that the reserves needs but allows for them not to attend drill....

  12. Taking Advanced Health Assessment before Advanced Patho

    InquisitiveAPN replied to rgulati1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You'll probably be fine. When I took advanced health assessment, unfortunately, it seemed more focused on assessing. We could all learn to conduct various assessment techniques then be left wondering,...

  13. FNP student - need clinical specialty suggestions

    InquisitiveAPN replied to KBRCCRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually thought I'd want to become a CRNA. It's why I went to nursing school. I hated hospitals and couldn't stay in confined in an ICU long enough to get the requisite experience. I did ER, but...

  14. FNP student - need clinical specialty suggestions

    InquisitiveAPN replied to KBRCCRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I vote for something exotic like the Department of State. Get some primary care and emergency training. Pick up some extra certs like remite practitioner, EMT, WEMT, audit an ATLS course, go to some...

  15. Any NPs in EMS or the Fire Dept?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to eg1014's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I was in paramedic school back around 2001 this was discussed. It strikes me as sort of a time suck to be doing anything like suturing, etc on an EMS call. Having been in EMS, most of the houses...

  16. What diagnostics can NPs order independently

    InquisitiveAPN replied to DelightfulNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The differences will likely be with the organization who owns or leases the test machine OR the insurance company reimbursing although I've never had one deny imaging let alone

  17. PNP and MAT in Special Ed

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Jerrysdogmommy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm sorry, but holistic treatment can be addressed by any walk of life. You need not double degrees to do it. To the harsh truth, there isn't really a realm that an inexperienced SpEd teacher /...

  18. FNP working in psych inpatient

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Cindy-20's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just to add a different mindset, inpatient psych, in my experience, always has a FNP or similarly scoped physician round to do H&Ps and address what limited medical issues in house that may come...

  20. PhD with Teaching Focus

    InquisitiveAPN replied to georgia88's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Doctor means teacher. You're looking for an EdD. Probably a tad less costly and involved than a PhD. Nursing, adult Ed, or higher ed admin are field to look into. I have non nurse friends with EdD's....

  21. PhD help! Nursing or public health?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to saheckler's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Can you matriculate to doctoral public health programs without training? The MPH or MSPH seem to be the entry level credential in that field from whenceforeth one chooses public health...

  22. VA Proficiency Nurse III Frustration & Appeal

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Sarah918's topic in Government, Military

    I really don't know anything about nurse progression at the VA as I have accepted employment but am vacationing before I begin. However, I did have to submit a narrative for the four dimensions of...

  23. Prior Service Army Nursing Corps

    InquisitiveAPN replied to gere7404's topic in Government, Military

    I can't answer the army specific questions as I'm applying for commissioning as well. I am applying for two medical waivers (hypertension and another) for a high need, missioned area of concentration....

  24. NP applying in air force

    InquisitiveAPN replied to orangepink's topic in Government, Military

    Air force recruiters are hard to find, and everyone I've spoken to has been a complete jerk. Having said that, the application process is long. You will go to officer training. I believe COT is five...
