    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So it is specifically psych RN experience? I can understand that in a narrower specialty. I think this becomes a difficult thing to qualify in the primary care world: how do you qualify which type of...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Opinion and expertise are two different things. I have an opinion about the treatment of decompensated schizophrenia. I am sure you do too. Are our opinions of equal value? Does expertise play a role...

    Rich, E. R. (2005). Does RN experience relate to NP clinical skills?. The Nurse Practitioner, 30(12), 53-56. Barnes, H. (2015). Exploring the factors that influence nurse practitioner role transition....

    This post may win allnurses. On a related note, I am glad I had those cameras

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What makes that foundation? Nursing education and pre-licensure experience? All RN experience? Relevant RN experience? I at one point made an argument that if we are going to have DE programs than...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Of course they aren't any good! They are novices with or without experience; I would hope we could all admit in our first year or more of practice we were far from experts. This is true of physicians...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You must be luckier than me because I know lots of competent physicians that don't play nice with each other let alone the nursing staff! I am not sure the ultimate competency of providers can or...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are about a dozen small studies and they all consistently shown there is no significant correlation of NP role socialization and prior RN experience. None are large studies but they are all...

    Do you disagree that there is a significant amount of passionate opposition to DE NP practice by nurses that aren't

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really don't have the experience to make any meaningful judgement about PMHNPs and DE programs. I can imagine that acute psych RN experience would be more directly applicable to advanced practice...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This isn't a "mean ol' nurse" assertion, I am simply stating what has been demonstrated in the literature. I personally feel it is unfortunate, true. Can you honestly say that the majority or RNs are...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What good would counting responses be? The plural of anecdote is not evidence. It should be no surprise that people with RN experience find that experience valuable for the most part, it is a natural...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So do you think your RN experience would be as valuable if you worked in med-surg or home health or school nursing or in a dermatology office? So your main faculty for a PMHNP program was not a...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But we need to do whatever we can to change this dynamic. Nursing is stronger together in the end. I hate the notion that one of the major obstacles novice NPs face is other nurses. There is some...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have talked about this many times before, but I think that anyone that has precepted APRN students would more-or-less agree that individual variability is far larger than other factors like RN...

    Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    BostonFNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In my opinion, yes. It was born from a high quality B&M program with quality faculty, still secures preceptorships, and uses the same delivery technology as the Nursing@Georgetown program which...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BostonFNP replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This really sums up the crux of the issue for most RNs that have a "problem" with DE APRNs. The major factor when it is all boiled down is that it is a personal issue (which we should all understand...

    Doctors vs NP's?

    BostonFNP replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    First, I wouldn't recommend having any medical professional (MD/DO/PA/NP/etc) take care of veterinary health issues. It is outside their education and training. Your dog would thank you for sticking...

    Doctors vs NP's?

    BostonFNP replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure this is a good thing though, though at least in my locale, it is (unfortunately) necessary due to a dearth of psychatric specialists. Most PCPs (MD/DO/PA/NP) are not adequately prepared...
