    Panic over Patho!

    Annaiya replied to masonmoore0824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree, the only way to handle patho is spending tons of time on it. It was the one class where I read almost everything assigned. It was the only way to learn the content. The book is really dense,...

    FNPs doing inpatient care

    Where are all those desperate new grads?

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

    I get forwarded job openings all of the time from my local NAPNAP group. You might want to try NP associations instead of schools. I know I never check my school email address anymore. And a lot of...

    Does nursing really suck that badly?

    Annaiya replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was a lawyer, then became a nurse and am now an NP. I love nursing. But it is our profession and we can make it bad or we can make it good. I have always been amazed by the number of my coworkers...

    starting a new job before or after i take my board?

    Annaiya replied to jskim060's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I believe you do not have malpractice coverage until you're credentialed, which means you should not be touching any patients or doing anything other than shadowing until you're credentialed. I spent...

    Am I crazy to plan a wedding going into my final MSN semester?

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

    I think it's fine, except make sure you plan the three weeks before you take boards so that there is no wedding planning those weeks. You will need dedicated study time and time to focus on passing...

    Which, if any, national organizations should i join?

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

    I really enjoy being a NAPNAP member. You can go to the local meetings wherever you end up even if you start at a different chapter. I found AANP to be too FNP focused so I dropped my membership with...

    University South Alabama PNP program question

    Annaiya replied to rnmindy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't worry about not having recent peds experience, you'll be fine. I would not consider an online program a work at your own pace type of thing, you will be studying every time you are not working....

    Acute Care Pediatric NP

    Annaiya replied to my3suns's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I went to UAB and feel like I learned what I needed to. UTA's program does not provide a good critical care education, so if that is your focus I would not recommend them. UAB isn't as strong as...

    Work as NP and bedside nurse

    Annaiya replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If there is a state statue that specifically addresses the liability incurred by an NP who is working as an RN, then that would be persuasive in court. However, I have never seen a statute that...

    Collaborating physician problems

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

    I'm so sorry your first job is going like this. I had a very similar experience in my first professional job, I was a lawyer at the time and my boss was a terrible person. I think she enjoyed making...

    New NP mistake

    Annaiya replied to jamiejo05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP education in the clinical environment is done so differently than medical education. I think as we precept NP students we need to be mindful of this. I was really glad I spent a semester of...

    Work as NP and bedside nurse

    Annaiya replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The BoN doesn't have any say over your liability, it is a legal standard. If you work as an RN but have an NP license you will be held to the knowledge and expertise of that of an NP if you ever got...

    NP starting salary

    Annaiya replied to Johnsoal's topic in Advanced Practice

    NP salaries around Philly are low. I think that sounds like an average starting salary for the

    Clinical hour requirements

    Annaiya replied to just keep swimming's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can you travel and do a bunch of hours somewhere else? A lot of my classmates went and did hours in another state. I loved my MD preceptors, but you definitely need at least half of your hours with...

    ICU NP hours, salary, program info

    Annaiya replied to CNogues's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a brand new PICU NP (still on orientation). Salary and benefits sounds similar, but we do not get extra pay for night/weekends/holidays. We do get extra pay if we pick up an extra "overtime"...

    How to become a Nurse Practioner?

    Annaiya replied to NurseMaricel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree a lot of it depends on what type of NP work you want to do. Are you planning on working as an RN while you're in

    NP vs OT

    Annaiya replied to TessHarmon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nursing is a fabulous profession with tons of options. Yes, it would take you longer to reach your end goal than OT, but you'd have more future job options. My knowledge of OT is just my interaction...

    Thinking about NP school, appreciate input

    Annaiya replied to JenniM's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To switch NP specialties you have to complete a post-master's certificate, which usually takes about a year. You have to do all of the required clinicals, so I think it would be difficult to complete...

    Best Online FNP Program

    Annaiya replied to daniellebrown03's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UAB is a great school and one of the least expensive programs

    Which NP specialization is appropriate for nursing homes?

    Annaiya replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why do you think those are missing something? I think the ANP/G would be the most appropriate. I'm not familiar with nursing homes so much, but a PA basically ran the long-term care unit I was in...

    How can I prep for grad school?

    Annaiya replied to Braunstein's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My advice is to get the McCance and Huether patho book and start reading. Every MSN patho class I know of uses that book. It's huge and we read almost the whole thing in one semester. It would have...

    Advice for new graduate with BSN wanting to pursue BSN-DNP route

    Annaiya replied to acornp37's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Something else to think about when considering grad school is whether or not you're really ready to dedicate yourself to it. Think about why you got the low grades in undergrad and determine if things...

    How hard is it to get accepted into an MSN program with no nursing experience?

    Annaiya replied to jcr777's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I only had 5 months of nursing experience when I applied for school and had no trouble getting in. The Dean of MUSC is a big supporter of nurses advancing their education without having to have worked...
