  1. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    I actually was accepted to CRNA school a while back, chose a residency instead. Could apply again if I really wanted. I'm the one who isn't grounded in reality? Heh. I'm not the defensive one here....

  2. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    In addition it is a fantasy notion that NPs are clamoring for rural and underserved population positions. Majority of grad either stay exactly where they are area wise or go where the most money is....

  3. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    First, CRNA is much more intensive than NP school. My roommate was a CRNA. It made our curriculum look like a joke, not even close. 2nd CRNAs train for 3 years and thousands of hours in a primarily...

  4. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Unless NP and RNs accept that not every RN can be a provider, class sizes to need shrink, standards to increase in every facet possible, clinical hours need to be 2k, residencies need to be required...

  5. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    I personally advocated my school change its curriculum and I have also personally precepted dozen of NP students (where I pushed fellowships/residencies) in addition to teaching current NPs in a...

  6. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Probably should, most specialty APPs I have worked with (with exceptions like ortho PAs) were essentially there to write generic notes/plans the attending would later addend and correct to their...

  7. Struggling no experience NP need guidance

    Guest1144461 replied to KRNNP1123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I mean we have transplant navigators that are RNs. Depends on what the role is. Could be algorithm-driven, a simple screening position or post-op f/u. TBH the job she/he describes doesn't sound...

  8. Acute Care NPs - To do a residency or not?

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

    I mean that's cool and all but the residency would have been very very helpful. Maybe my hospital us more free reign than most though since all APPs had done one in the group. Hospitalist work...

  9. Something has to change

    Guest1144461 replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is just how it is, I went to a brick-and-mortar school and had to find 50% of mine. Education was meh, I did a residency which worked me to the bone but saved me from disaster. NP school alone...

  10. Struggling no experience NP need guidance

    Guest1144461 replied to KRNNP1123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Such is the life of a NP with 500 clinical hours. This is NP job life in general unless you do a formal residency where they expect to just mold you regardless of experience. These jobs want a...

  11. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

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

    Yeah, not an amazing salary considering inflation/COL. Travel nurses routinely make more than that with 1/0th of the responsibility and depending on the job MDs make at least double doing the same...

  12. What did you do with nursing PhD?

    Guest1144461 replied to psychrn5's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Research/academia, my guess is mostly academia (possibly consulting). I was a humanities master's student looking a PhD. Opted against it, the juice honestly isn't worth the squeeze unless you hate...

  13. APRN Student needing interview answers

    Guest1144461 replied to hayleyrank13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't rely on an orientation which are often half-assed, do a residency if you can. I had to move but totally worth it. No way I could have worked acute care w/o

  14. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    Guest1144461 replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's fine but to also be against guns/self-defense makes 0

  15. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    Guest1144461 replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Pretty bad article, lots of emotional fallacies, skillful omissions and correlation/causation errors. Thankfully your opinion doesn't matter in this instance. Gun violence remains primarily inner...

  16. CRNA Programs/Requirements

    Guest1144461 replied to compressionsock's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lot's of holes to fill here. There is a good spreadsheet out there which does cost $$$ but makes applying much easier as it shows every school requirement/deadline. You need recent ICU experience,...

  17. Not Sure About Nursing

    Guest1144461 replied to HadNar323's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Medicine is prestigious still. Law is meh. Just like MBA schools it depends on the school you go to. For many schools, all you need is a pulse and a degree. Still fascinates the layperson though, as...

  18. Help with direct entry MSN personal statement

    Guest1144461 replied to natalierose02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just go get your RN, you'll make more money in the long run. I have been an for a NP a while and wished I stayed bedside sometimes. Staff and travel RNs are making much more than me in this

  19. FPMHNP vs. PMHNP?

    Guest1144461 replied to Scarlettz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Really doesn't matter at the end of the day, the difference is like 1-2 classes and 100 clinical hours between the two if one incorporates kids.

  20. Hofstra AGACNP/CRNA 2022

    Guest1144461 replied to Critnurse13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Can someone explain the usefulness of this program? As an ACNP I definitely was not prepared to practice after graduation (in-person state/public school) and needed a year-long fellowship to fill the...

  21. Can you search anyone in the controlled substance monitoring database?

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

    Bizarre question. Sure, I can look up my own record and I can also even prescribe to myself. Should I? No... Once again weird question with 0 context from a new user.

  22. Mayo Clinic AZ Cardiology NP fellowship

    Guest1144461 replied to Heartnurse91's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did a NP fellowship, very valuable. Worth 10x more than any program,

  23. Alternative Options for Doctorate

    Guest1144461 replied to The Good Nurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Acutal PhDs are intense by nature. Prior to nursing, I was in the humanities field and PhDs were known soul suckers. Not only did you have to get into a good program, it had to be funded and your job...

  24. OR RN to NP or PA

    Guest1144461 replied to Mshaulis29's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Honestly PA, you won't get any surgical exposure as a NP

  25. Entering Reserve Nursing with young children

    Guest1144461 replied to Danielle48's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, nurse corps. Of course it is normal, just expect you could be away from them for 9-12 months at any given time. Is it super common nowadays? No but definitely possible. Also those missed weekends...
