  1. BSN to FNP or DNP or NNP or Nursing Education or Public Health

    Guest1144461 replied to RN12345's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In my experience, a masters is sufficient. the DNP is touted by the nursing education community but in reality hospitals value experience over everything. The MDs I work with have 0 idea there even...

  2. CRNA to ACNP or FNP repost

    Guest1144461 replied to CVCRNA1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ACNP if you want ICU, FNP won't prepare you for that. Maybe your current hospital will, but most

  3. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    Guest1144461 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    What you need to realize is the COL in the UK and other countries is really high. 30k a year with sky high taxes isn't going to cut it. Most people don't have heaps of medical needs in general and...

  4. Applying to NP School at Simmons

    Guest1144461 replied to Future MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well acute care has a more shift like schedule but you work 7 days on straight then 7 off mostly. When I leave work I'm mostly off but there are still things I have to follow up on. Primary care or...

  5. Finding a job with pending accusation

    Guest1144461 replied to aspirationpneumonia's topic in General Nursing

    That's what kind of tipped me to thinking that. I cant think why an attending would be mad

  6. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    Guest1144461 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Probably less. The pay for NPs in all of the commonwealth countries is abysmally low. The same for RNs. My father is British and I looked into the salaries/positions in the UK for RNs. They are...

  7. Can you take the boards while still in NP school?

    Guest1144461 replied to dana16's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have never heard of this. Jobs require a degree in hand anyways for credentialing and just because you did 2/3 of a DNP program does not mean you hold a masters degree. Also you would need all of...

  8. Finding a job with pending accusation

    Guest1144461 replied to aspirationpneumonia's topic in General Nursing

    I am referring to the fact that restraints and bipap are a nono unless there is a 1:1 sitter. Aspiration. Unless you have a 1:1

  9. New FNP, Military Spouse, & Army Nurse Corp

    Guest1144461 replied to NPMilwyf's topic in Government, Military

    Army reserve officer here. The Army is not very pro-NP, NP jobs and billets are few and far between. Your chance of becoming an Army NP with no experience is close to 0 right now. The Army is...

  10. Finding a job with pending accusation

    Guest1144461 replied to aspirationpneumonia's topic in General Nursing

    BIPAP and restraints are no bueno. that's

  11. What was your first AGACNP job?

    Guest1144461 replied to kdawnz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP market saturation is nothing new. It's been in the pipeline for years with the advent of online programs with 0 effort willing to take anyone with a BSN and paycheck. The accreditation bodies are a...

  12. What was your first AGACNP job?

    Guest1144461 replied to kdawnz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am convinced most RNs go into NP school because it is drilled into our heads as the "next step". There is little to no thought involved. This is a cultural problem at the very most core. My BSN...

  13. What are the for profit NP schools?

    Guest1144461 replied to JZ1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are many but honestly even the non-profit schools that are online are suspect quality especially if they make you find

  14. What was your first AGACNP job?

    Guest1144461 replied to kdawnz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am looking at basic math here. The average residency program for MDs is 10-12k hours (plus the thousands as med students...), the average NP program is 600. RN experience in no way accounts for that...

  15. Applying to NP School at Simmons

    Guest1144461 replied to Future MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is perhaps the biggest myth when it comes to being an NP. The stress levels are definitely NOT lower. The stakes are much much higher. One day rounding on a 15 bed med surg floor as a NP makes my...

  16. Acute Care NP without ICU experience?

    Guest1144461 replied to MasterNursinator's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Umm this is public info if you Google the accreditation standards. I also work with them daily and know their rotations. Surgery is required and many do critical care. This isn't a fable, their...

  17. What was your first AGACNP job?

    Guest1144461 replied to kdawnz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A few things. When I did my inpatient rotations I worked with MS4 students and other interns on a daily basis. While they lack practical experience, they can run circles around the average NP when it...

  18. When to call the doctor

    Guest1144461 replied to RN416's topic in General Nursing

    Before you do call, please check the MAR first and apply some critical thinking regarding the situation as

  19. Genuine question that I know is going to make me sound like a TERRIBLE nurse...

    Guest1144461 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Inpatient NP here. When we do d/c orders/instructions we often are discharging multiple patients, writing d/c summaries, progress notes and answering pages. As a NP I am NEVER sitting on my *** doing...

  20. What was your first AGACNP job?

    Guest1144461 replied to kdawnz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you are grossly over simplifying it. NP school in general is a non factor, at all echelons regardless of brick and mortar vs online the training is substandard. NPs are graduating expecting to...

  21. Quality of Life as a nurse by state

    Guest1144461 replied to Megan8083's topic in General Nursing

    I lived in Seattle and the COL way outweighs the salary. Tacoma is creeping up as

  22. What was your first AGACNP job?

    Guest1144461 replied to kdawnz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No? But your experience does fit the situation for the majority of new

  23. NP Fellowship program at Emory Hospital Atlanta

    Guest1144461 replied to Dinma123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Makes sense, mine was around that with a bonus at the beginning. 75K is basically minimum wage since you WILL be putting in a ton of

  24. Selecting a Specialty

    Guest1144461 replied to ADavisRN87's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Acute care. I rotated with residents who had to IP and OP work. The fact that they had to constantly manage OP issues with their patient panel really turned me off from going

  25. NP Fellowship program at Emory Hospital Atlanta

    Guest1144461 replied to Dinma123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Most fellowship salaries are similar to MD residents. 50-60k. I was doing 80 hours a week on average, similar to a resident. Sucks but it was worth it. NP school didn't prepare me at all and I went to...
