  1. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Listen to people who have done this. You guys are missing the forest through the trees. NP education, admissions and boards are objectively inadequate. This isn’t an online education debate....

  2. Talk To Me About Being An Inpatient NP

    Guest1144461 replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    Basically this. I remember we had a senior resident call ID at 2am....bruh. Load em up and wait till morning if you are

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I hit 160 hours in 2 weeks of fellowship....that's 1/3 of a FNP program... I think I have outlined better standards ad nauseum in my previous posts on various threads. Frankly, anything is better...

  4. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah explain that to the lobbying bodies pushing for more independence and even less standards in

  5. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, but said critical thinking is pointless without background knowledge and experience. I can't critically think my way through computer coding or replacing a Tesla motor. I think we have...

  6. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Someone with 500 clinical hours who found their preceptor via a cash-for-service website or a friend has no business being a provider. That's an objective reality. Advanced practice nursing isn't...

  7. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, but you can’t critically think in medicine unless you have a baseline knowledge foundation. They go hand in hand. Critical thinking helps to manipulate learned knowledge around difficult...

  8. Talk To Me About Being An Inpatient NP

    Guest1144461 replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    Those consults are pretty bad….with diverticulitis I wouldn’t bother with surgery unless it was complicated and greater than 3-4 cm and they have had multiple episodes. For drainage I’d talk IR...

  9. Talk To Me About Being An Inpatient NP

    Guest1144461 replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes consultants will often deflect consults with: this is an outpatient problem LOL. Which is true many times. When I did a neuro rotation we got consults for literally dementia work ups all the...

  10. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Word. CRitiCaL tHiNkiNG means nothing when there is no baseline knowledge to work off of. People think it is some esoteric skill that can be applied to anything, whether it be medicine, machining,...

  11. NP school - no RN experience

    Guest1144461 replied to Karty877's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Any program that fits that bill is going to be objectively subpar. It doesn't sound like more school is in the cards for you at the moment. Luckily for you RN pay is realllly good right

  12. Talk To Me About Being An Inpatient NP

    Guest1144461 replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    Some attendings just don't have confidence in themselves, zero time to think the issue through or are lazy in my experience. I had a few go-getter attendings who refused to consult unless it would...

  13. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Whatever the argument is against hard sciences is a non factor in the end. NP schools are still underwhelming and a borderline Ponzi scheme. 1. clinical hours are a joke 2. clinical based...

  14. Acute Care NP without ICU experience?

    Guest1144461 replied to MasterNursinator's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Isn't this sort of obvious? Why would a CC fellowship want a new nurse with a FNP degree? Why would you want to be a CC fellow without an ACNP degree? I think you need to research more and probably...

  15. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree, it's pretty obvious when providers have no idea what they are talking about. It's clear they are uncomfortable because their baseline knowledge is

  16. Which to pursue?

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

    RNs travelers around me are still making 100+ an hour. Staff nurses with incentivess are getting close to that. Even making 150k a year they still beat me. 4% match is okay 120 hours is...

  17. I Did Not Feel Like A Hero

    Guest1144461 replied to Brooke Schmidt's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I really feel like the TikTok brigade and opportunistic travelers hurt whatever "heroship" nurses deserved. A lot of my nonnursing friends noticed this during COVID and their perspective definitely...

  18. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thing is, it's important to have a background in hard sciences to understand certain concepts. Superficial knowledge is just superficial knowledge. No one expects someone to memorize the...

  19. Which to pursue?

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

    Sounds reasonable to me, becoming a NP is not big bucks compared to RNs

  20. NP school - no RN experience

    Guest1144461 replied to Karty877's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, you asked a completely unanswerable and subjective question with literally thousands of variables. Honestly, is some new NP/RN going to come on here and say any negative about a life-altering...

  21. Which to pursue?

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

    Hospital medicine, 99% independent with a high learning curve. They expect you to function like a MD who also make double my salary. I honestly feel underpaid. COL is high but not Cali high. No...

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I 100% have to recheck IDSA guidelines every so often because yeah o knowledge gets out of date pretty fast. The pancreatitis thing threw me for a loop as

    Guest1144461 replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think this applies to life in general haha. You just have to know where to look and have vaguely recalled the term before. Good

  25. NP school - no RN experience

    Guest1144461 replied to Karty877's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As usual, the OP disappears and already prefaces she doesn't want feedback for the obviously correct answer LOL... So OP I would say if you are coming in as a 2nd career student who is older and...
