  1. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

    No it doesn’t count in reality, only in a strange world/environment where people want pats on the back for unrelated experience. I guess that’s equity for you. I was a nurse for 6 years...
  2. Non-direct Patient Care Positions for a MSN graduate

    You never felt competent or safe as bedside nurse yet you still pursued NP school and continue to look at being a MD. That’s like saying I’m not competent at crawling but I can run/walk fine. That...
  3. Non-direct Patient Care Positions for a MSN graduate

    I am not trying to be snarky, but when you didn't cut it as a RN you tried to pursue being a NP when it requires probably 100x more knowledge and responsibility/accountability. Just trying to...
  4. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

    I think nursing helps with patient interaction and the interdisciplinary healthcare system. Other than that, RN experience has little bearing on provider
  5. DNP vs MSN

    IMO part time, half-a** and flexible NP studies are a bane of the profession. There should only be full time. Tell me about all the part time PA and MD programs...they don't exist. Personally, I...
  6. Acute care NP versus MPH

    Online MPHs are like MBAs, dime a dozen with zero effort for entry. To make it matter you would need to go to a well-regarded school. Sounds like you would hate the ACNP role as well (I am
  7. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

    The best NPs I have ever met were non-nurses. It should NOT play a factor
  8. Nurse Practitioner clinicals/practicum

    I have precepted NPs inpatient. Usually I will observe a few interactions but generally let them see the patient on their own, then present at various points in the day. LEARN TO PRESENT. NP...
  9. Acute Care NPs - To do a residency or not?

    Unfortunate that they are clueless. Our PA/NP group is pretty well trained (all have done an APP fellowship) and respected by the MD attendings/residents alike to the point where they will ask for...
  10. Resignation and thoughts?

    I work inpatient and can tell you that this setting will burn you out in the same way. Gotta find other ways to manage burn out other than switching jobs. Don't bother staying on as per diem,...
  11. Wilkes University - BEWARE!

    How many clinical hours? Do you find 100% of placements? Are all profs tenured with doctoral level degrees? What are the academic standards for admission? To date, I have not seen a program that...
  12. Acute Care NPs - To do a residency or not?

    Just a note, I spent my entire career almost as a CCRN/ICU nurse, did not transfer over to a hospitalist role at all. Being a RN has nothing to do with being a NP, it's all about the education and the...
  13. Reference Recommendation

    Those are two very different books. One is a literal 2000ish page tome which I guarantee you won't use. GET pocket medicine, literally every resident/med student uses it...
  14. Reference Recommendation

    Way too big for what the OP is suggesting. ( I have the same
  15. Reference Recommendation

    Pocket medicine (Massachusetts general hospital) primary care, is what you are looking
  16. Columbia DNP with 3.3 GPA?

    You'll probably be fine but I would caution spending 120k+ on an NP Program even if it is a dream school. Prestige for NP school isn't the same as
  17. This is the standard for my health system
  18. That's not how it works. Any random provider is not always a good teacher and schools do NO vetting. You got a license? You can precept. Also it doesn't matter how many shoulders you rub, if a...
  19. This is an utter delusional cope. What kind clinical experience are you going to get from a for-profit school that takes anyone with a pulse and makes YOU find your own "clinical experience". You...
  20. Wilkes University - BEWARE!

    For those reading, this is like 90% of NP programs, even brick and mortar state schools. I am surprised by none of the things
  21. Honestly in your situation and the fact you are going to a half-*** school with an awful reputation. I would reconsider grad school in general. Put it in perspective, would you want a provider...
  22. Acute Care NP Preceptor

    What do you mean site? I’m I’m guessing a hospital. I agree, a Hospitalist (assuming that’s what you meant) position/rotation is far better than trauma for a ACNP
  23. Newbie Questions About NP Career

    Your professor is not correct. Go look at job postings. Some FNPs with inpatient experience will get grandfathered but the vast majority of hospitals will not hire FNPs for Hospitalist type roles....
  24. Many of the resident MDs I worked with had families and lives as well, yet moved for internship, residency, fellowship etc. Not everyone is in the life position to be a provider. Too many RNs...
  25. Feeling Lost As An NP

    I am the biggest critic of NP education but studentdoctorforum and the various med student, resident and noctor subreddits are pure cringe egos with insecurity complexes. None of those losers would...
