    Have you ever met someone who regretted getting their NP?

    BostonFNP replied to Cola89's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, always shadow before investing in NP. That at beign said, I see far fewer dissatisfied NPs than I do dissatisfied RNs giving advice about NPs without being

    More preceptors than you need

    BostonFNP replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would err on the side of school 1 then, if local programs aren't an option. There are some great online programs but they may not be an option

    Dual Cert FNP/PMHNP

    BostonFNP replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Dual certification has both significant benefits and drawbacks. That's not much clinical hours in each and 540 would barely make the minimum requirement for board

    Online NP Programs without a ton of on-campus requirements?

    BostonFNP replied to NursingStudent11101's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are making a huge investment both personally and financially in what will likely be your terminal career: balance that with the thought of taking a day off a week for the next two years. The...

    More preceptors than you need

    BostonFNP replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Honestly neither is a fantastic option. Definitely talk to local NPs and see what the local preference is in hiring. They are likely not going to be considered the same by employers. Preceptorships...

    Secret agenda of doing away with the associate program?

    Preceptor HELP for Health Assessment- Florida

    BostonFNP replied to DragonflyLady17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The vast majority of NPs that don't take students is not due to personal preference rather their facility policies. Many NPs that do take students are selective in whom they take and where they take...

    RN-BSN SCAM

    BostonFNP replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It was funded almost entirely by a grant from the NINR which is a division of the NIH with additional funding from the RWJF. They used extant survey data, what's the problem with that? Hundreds of...

    BostonFNP replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Again, cite some legitimate sources (not blogs or forum posts or opinion pieces). If you are so passionate about this, why not invest in some research classes so you could better understand what you...

    Who do you think funded the Akien study? And how exactly do they benefit from the results? Again, there is you and your ranting on one side and the full breadth of the extant scientific data on the...

    BostonFNP replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I actually paid quite a bit, probably more than you did for your education. It was by no means "free". You can make as many personal attacks as you'd like, but it doesn't change the fact that on one...

    BostonFNP replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You didn't answer the questions, let me detail them for you: You are very concerned with who we all paid for our degrees. Did you lose your job due to not having a BSN? You mention you are "too busy"...

    ARNP or Administration?

    BostonFNP replied to angel549's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To be honest, you want to negotiate a better deal for the NP job. The money is low, the call is high, and the vacation and CME are low average assuming you also get a week for
