  1. Maryville University Online NP Program

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

    FWIW most online NP schools are self taught, dont expect much beyond recorded lectures or PP slides on blackboard. This is quality drops when the NP/nursing world values convenience and accessibility...

  2. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    Honestly, I do not know what kind of hospital you work at, but in my hospitalist position there is no way a new grad could just waltz in and succeed without putting in extremely long days and or...

  3. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    FWIW I would absolutely be terrified to walk out of ACNP school into a independent hospitalist role. Make sure you do a residency or something that has a solid mentorship/preceptor beginning

  4. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    I did an inpatient internal medicine NP residency (basically I was an intern...literally). Prepared me for any job inpatient and it looks good to have some formal training on your

  5. Any NP's who graduated from a direct entry program?

    Guest1144461 replied to Ivy Wynn's topic in Advanced Practice

    In my opinion RN experience doesn't matter, NPs are woefully under-trained and under-prepared

  6. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    Guest1144461 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    Sorry, but you are wrong. A resident on average works 6 days a week and puts in 10-14 hours a day with 2-3 weeks off a year. An average internal medicine residency is 3 years while other specialties...

  7. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    Guest1144461 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    It means nothing when I can choose from hundreds of programs that are part time, cheap, quick and online while checking the proverbial box. The real insidious problems are what you mentioned: poor...

  8. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    Guest1144461 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    Look you can do what you want, but this is the epitome of what wrong with advanced practice nursing. Too focused on fluffed drawn out courses/titles rather than fixing the root of the NP problem which...

  9. Anyone Using 'Doctor' Title at Work?

    Guest1144461 replied to jfmDNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't think there really is one. Doctors=physicians in the clinical setting. Outside of it, the Dr. title is often used on conferences or email sigs where it is more appropriate. Psychologists are a...

  10. Considering NP - looking for honest feedback

    Guest1144461 replied to Brittany Garraty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    1. Accept you might have to move for a job 2. Do a residency 3. Work like balance is going to be terrible your first two years while you grasp the role I see nurses often go the NP route because they...

  11. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    Guest1144461 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    Learning to research is not some esoteric fund of knowledge that requires a doctorate to grasp in any meaningful way. Any standard MSN program provides bio-statistics and literature...

  12. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    Guest1144461 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    Not really true. It was labeled from the beginning as a clinical doctorate to distinguish it from DSc or PhDs in nursing. I remember all of this nonsense from its inception. You got it, total waste...

  13. Anyone Using 'Doctor' Title at Work?

    Guest1144461 replied to jfmDNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    PT and PharmDs are mostly doctorates. Do we call them doctor? No. Do they ask for it? Generally, also no. Patients are easily confused and while there are multiple doctorates in HC, it will only lead...

  14. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

    Cant be picky with location. This what I find RNs fail to grasp that new MDs do. Moving for a position. Almost all MDs move multiple times for intern year, residency and fellowship. this is the norm....

  15. Looking for a Preceptor

    Guest1144461 replied to bbcewalters's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    LOL this is the state of NP education...this is why no one takes our doctorate

  16. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

    I am an ANCP with years of ICU experience as a RN. When comparing your role as an RN to a provider, it literally means nothing in my opinion. The only thing RN experience gave me was comfortability...

    Guest1144461 replied to Richard Michael Brett's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My point was mostly rhetorical but the overarching premise still stands for NP education in

  18. Sawyer Initiative

    Guest1144461 replied to Richard Michael Brett's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Would you be okay with your school redoing the admission process right now but guaranteeing preceptors? The flip side is 50% of your cohort would probably not get admitted. With the current format of...

  19. NP's how are you these days?

    Guest1144461 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hospitalist role in a west coast city. Yeah I am busy

  20. Sawyer Initiative

    Guest1144461 replied to Richard Michael Brett's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Its a good idea, but nurses are unrealistic. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Nurses at this point basically expect that schools will cater to their every whim. Lets face it, lots of people...

  21. Acute Care NP without ICU experience?

    Guest1144461 replied to MasterNursinator's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What's insane? The accrediting bodies literally require 2000 clinical hours minimum in PA programs. In additional most require patient care experience prior to PA programs (750-2000 hours). I know...

  22. Acute Care NP without ICU experience?

    Guest1144461 replied to MasterNursinator's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I mean yeah, a lot of critical care is algorithm based with vents, sepsis ACLS etc. I am talking about those days when you are dealing with a roaring blast crisis, an erysipelas that just doesn't seem...

  23. Acute Care NP without ICU experience?

    Guest1144461 replied to MasterNursinator's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PAs also have 2000-4000 hours of clinical experience not 600. Also I have met quite a few PAs who were RNs, paramedics etc. Thats a huge difference. Also PAs are fine under the supervised model, I...

  24. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    Guest1144461 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    Bro I know this post is old, but you full on drank the Kool-Aid. How about you look at the post-MSN DNP curriculum. It's literally a joke. It's does nothing to substantiate its worth in the clinical...

  25. ACNP vs. FNP...

    Guest1144461 replied to nursing2021's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNP hospitalists are rare in any urban setting or they are grandfathered. Do ACNP, you can do some outpatient as well. I did a residency for ACNPs, 80-90 hour weeks for a year...good
