    Anesthesiologist Pays $8.2M for Praising Error-Prone Colleague

    Annaiya replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This isn't a new concept, you have to be truthful in your recommendations. If the anesthesiologist knew about the drug problem and didn't disclose it, that's not ok. There was a similar case I read...

    PNP or FNP?

    Annaiya replied to thuyd527's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, only if you want to do adults too. If you only want to do kids, an FNP could limit your options more. I don't need a survey of all facilities to know that. A pediatric only clinic is not going...

    PNP or FNP?

    Annaiya replied to thuyd527's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work for a stand alone children's hospital and they only hire PNPs (both in the hospital and in their clinics). If kids is all you want to do then go for PNP or you will limit your job...

    MUSC Accelerated BSN

    Annaiya replied to Annaiya's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have any volunteer experience at a hospital? When I applied I was told that health care/volunteer experience is only worth 5% of the application, but that there is almost no chance of getting...

    Demand for WHNPs?

    Annaiya replied to Hushi05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you don't live in Canada, that shouldn't be a problem. FNP is only more versatile if you want to work with more populations. If you only want to work with women, then WHNP make a whole lot more...

    Need an online statistics course

    Annaiya replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The class is EPsy 3264 Basic and Applied Statistics, the online version. I think you can see the course description here:...

    Demand for WHNPs?

    Annaiya replied to Hushi05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the decision needs to be based on what you really want to do. If you want to focus on women's health, then do WHNP. I have a friend finishing her degree this December and she struggled...

    New NP regulations for MD, PA, NJ

    Annaiya replied to abass211's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There have been other discussion about this topic on these forums. There are several other states that have already gone in this direction, but the exact details are not worked out yet. If you are...

    Cons of master's entry NP programs?

    Annaiya replied to t_heart's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think another thing to consider is being an NP is tremendous amount of responsibility and NP education has not been set up to provide you with all of the training you need if you don't have...

    PICU medication dosages to memorize

    Annaiya replied to Annaiya's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Thanks for the reply. All good advice. We have the preprinted "code sheets" as well for every patient. I just wish I was allowed to look up drugs in Lexi-comp on my iPhone. Trying to bring up...

    PNP in the hospital

    Annaiya replied to cpsnap's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That is really interesting. Do you live in one of the states where the BoN already requires acute care certification to be able to work in acute

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You can't get a BlazernetID until all of your documentation has been submitted and accepted. I think it took about 3-4 weeks for my stuff to get processed after I had it all submitted. I finally got...

    Any UAB NP students/graduates?

    So unhappy with my career

    Annaiya replied to Nire83's topic in General Nursing

    That is awesome that you can get a chance to shadow! If you are really miserable where you are at now, make sure that doesn't come through when you are shadowing. Just be very enthusiastic and...

    So unhappy with my career

    Annaiya replied to Nire83's topic in General Nursing

    I find it unbelievable that HR would say that to you. Do they not value an employee that they have hired? If they were a decent organization they would encourage growth and retention of their...

    PNP in the hospital

    Annaiya replied to cpsnap's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it is entirely possible to work in an H/O clinic as a PNP, but it might be very hard to get a job without H/O RN experience. This is a very popular specialty, so you might want to get RN...

    immunization requirements

    Annaiya replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in General Nursing

    I paid a total of about $300 for all of my titers and TB test. I wasn't able to get records of my childhood vaccinations and never had varicella vaccine just got the disease. So I needed to have a...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm so sorry you didn't get in CCRNDiva. Can you call the guy who requested your SSN and ask him for more info? Seems strange they would ask for that and then just deny you. I would also try to...

    6 weeks into my 12 week orientation and freaking out.

    Annaiya replied to joj0bo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for updating us, and I'm glad it sounds like you are doing as well as the other hires. You definitely will learn a lot, and some day you will get to the point where you feel like you can...

    Was going to earn my NP, but not anymore.

    Annaiya replied to CrashVector's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No it is based on a doctorate degree. I did some looking on the AMA website and it is targeted at anyone with a doctoral degree who is not a physician in a medical

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    To Calijaz: Yeah, FNP must be different then. For my program, clinicals only start in the spring, so you can only graduate in the next spring. There is no fall graduation anymore. To JSoupy: Patho...

    Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    Annaiya replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats to everyone who has gotten in! If you just have patho in the fall that is probably a good thing, that class is the most work by far, even though it is "only" 3 credits. I took it with Role...

    Transferring units: When and why did you do it?

    Annaiya replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    I just recently transferred to a new unit, about to start my 4th week of orientation. Make sure you give yourself time for the transition. It was hard to leave a unit where I knew everyone and had a...

    Was going to earn my NP, but not anymore.

    Annaiya replied to CrashVector's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with BabyLady, you need to do more research. Aside from it not being mandated by the states at this point, all of the preliminary salary data that I have seen have shown on average a...
