    Good online NP school for a non nursing bachelors degree

    BostonFNP replied to dressagedevon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can do a search on "master's entry" or "direct entry" programs. One little clarification, all these programs prepare students to sit for the NCLEX and student's must pass it and obtain an RN...

    Good online NP school for a non nursing bachelors degree

    BostonFNP replied to dressagedevon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This isn't entirely true, there are a number of quality (and a number of non-quality) direct entry NP programs for individuals with non-nursing bachelors degrees. Many ADN-MSN programs do not...

    scope of practice, the EKG/ECG?

    BostonFNP replied to wtpsych's topic in General Nursing

    Reading a 12-lead is outside your experience and education and thus makes it outside your scope. You did the right

    Did I make the right move?

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

    I think part of your answer may lie right here: what really was your motivation for moving to the APN role? If you don't have a good solid answer for this question then the extra responsibility of the...

    Any luck with your graduate school alumni network? Many of the best jobs are filled via network contacts and alumni

    so frustrated about setting up NP clinical

    BostonFNP replied to treeye's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Honestly, start making other plans quick. I am on the hospital medical staff and it took more than 6 months to get the hospital to OK me bringing students from my clinic to the hospital, and that's...

    Cyclical vomiting syndrome

    BostonFNP replied to thelema13's topic in Emergency

    This makes it very hard to differentiate CVS from CHS, especially as time passes because its hard to tell which started first the vomiting or the

    so frustrated about setting up NP clinical

    BostonFNP replied to treeye's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It is unclear, have you had confirmation that the hospitalist group is willing to take you or not? The admin assistant may be doing the paperwork but that is just one of the steps that needs to be...

    Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    BostonFNP replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    That's ok, just trying to figure out where you are coming from. I feel compelled to say, keep an open mind. You can't believe all that you read on the internet. I feel like we hash out these debates...

    Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    BostonFNP replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    Are these lay people or nurses? I think there are a fair number of RNs that have become/are fed up with bedside nursing and I think they have some valid reasons for that. Lay people really don't...

    Is this Facebook status Hipaa compliant?

    BostonFNP replied to musicmouse44's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Does posting here desensitize us as well? Does posting a photo of pinning or graduation or a study group or just a photo in scrubs also get blackballed? What about setting a nursing program as your...

    Is this Facebook status Hipaa compliant?

    BostonFNP replied to musicmouse44's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think nursing school may have swung too far on this "hippa" stuff; instead of trying to scare students maybe actually teach them (or at least have them read) the Health Insurance Portability and...

    Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    BostonFNP replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    I also think intent is important: it seems like in the initial post it was being suggested as a way to insult or belittle the person. Anyways, back to the real

    Is this legal?

    BostonFNP replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm no lawyer! In my usage I mean a civil case in which someone is injured and intends to seek damages from another person. If SoccerDad1 from Facebook alleges that NoobNP4 reviewed his complaint and...

    Is this legal?

    BostonFNP replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    Her advanced degree does trump the "I've done my research"! I agree she should be able to handle it better, but, kudos to her for taking on the vaccine issue, we all should be doing it. As an NP she...

    Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    BostonFNP replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    What are you basing your opinion on? Your personal or professional experience? The extant data? I don't really follow what you mean here. As far as adding more clinical rotations, I don't disagree...

    BostonFNP replied to CardiacDork's topic in Advanced Practice

    Can I rant back a bit? Some of this is playing devil's advocate, but I have seen lots of posts lately hitting on some of these things. First off, getting frustrated about the motivations of others is...

    Question for FNPs

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

    Some RNs take a pay cut to be an NP, others make significant amount more. I don't know many RNs that make more than I do even with overtime and night/weekend differentials and I do that without any...

    BostonFNP replied to cody0928's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a partner in a private internal med practice. My salary is up a bit but so is my stress level at times. If you are considering starting your own private practice, you probably want to be...
