    Can an ACNP treat pediatrics in Texas?

    Annaiya replied to Uroboros's topic in Advanced Practice

    No I'm an AC

    Can an ACNP treat pediatrics in Texas?

    Annaiya replied to Uroboros's topic in Advanced Practice

    I really wouldn't worry about missing out on jobs. Some EDs might require PNP certification, since they can see all ages, but if the adult AC program is anything like the AC PNP program you will...

    Can an ACNP treat pediatrics in Texas?

    Annaiya replied to Uroboros's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm sorry you find this so frustrating, but I actually like how there are so many specialties for NPs. I think that gives us an advantage over PAs. We are focused on one thing and do that one thing...

    Can an ACNP treat pediatrics in Texas?

    Annaiya replied to Uroboros's topic in Advanced Practice

    There is no bright line rule, which is why you aren't finding one. And there shouldn't be. The question is too complex to not allow some flexibility. The ages that might be appropriate for one...

    Can an ACNP treat pediatrics in Texas?

    Annaiya replied to Uroboros's topic in Advanced Practice

    No you cannot see pediatrics as an ACNP, it is the same that a PNP cannot see adults. However, what constitutes a pediatric patient may vary depending on what you are doing. Your scope of practice...

    New Grad Resume help!!!

    Annaiya replied to RNTin07's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I put every single clinical experience on my resume and talked up each one as much as I could. You don't want to make your resume look crowded, but highlight the experiences you've had. The HR...

    Rhabdomyolysis

    Annaiya replied to julz68's topic in General Nursing

    I saw Rhabdo over the winter in a child with the Flu. It's one of the rare complications of Flu. I think it's interesting how varied the causes of it can

    Cry for help: I don't think I can do this.

    Annaiya replied to -MissTake-'s topic in General Students

    Being a nurse is NOT like being a nursing student. Step back, take a breath, and start focusing on just 1 thing at a time. Don't pile on a job search with finishing school and NCLEX. That's too...

    Finding a nurse mentor

    Annaiya replied to Med Surg RN's topic in General Students

    Esme12, I love that flow sheet, and wish I had had that for my nursing student who just did her capstone with me. Only 1 thing that I saw needs to be changed. The second page should say (Treatment...

    Finding a nurse mentor

    Annaiya replied to Med Surg RN's topic in General Students

    I would talk to your clinical instructor. It sounds like you are not getting good clinical experiences at all! A good nurse can manage their patients and provide a good learning experience for their...

    How far in advance did you interview for jobs?

    Annaiya replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree if you aren't willing to start in the next 2-3 months, then it's too early for you to apply. Most jobs will not be willing to wait that

    How long after graduation for licensure

    Annaiya replied to megank5183's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on how long it takes your school to get your transcripts sent to the certifying organization and then when you schedule your exam. Then you have to pass and the state has to process...

    Devastated I was not accepted into FNP program?! Thoughts?

    Annaiya replied to icuRNmia's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Personally, I would not want to attend a school that seems so disorganized and unfair to it's applicants. If that's just the interview to get in, imagine what the exams would be like! I agree with...

    Too old, too new, too soon for free FNP??

    Annaiya replied to Tony1790's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree, you're definitely not too old, and you might as well take advantage of a free education. My only addition to the discussion is don't do an NP program unless you really want to work as an NP....

    So I have a question about working in compact states

    Annaiya replied to cbrown12's topic in Advanced Practice

    Also, a compact license only lets you work across state borders without getting a license in that state. If you move to a new state, then you still need to go through the whole process of getting...

    Soaking up all advice before starting Direct Entry MSN

    Annaiya replied to IrishCandy's topic in Advanced Practice

    IMO, 4-5 years RN is experience is overkill by a lot. 1-2 years is plenty, and if you're looking to only do primary care then I really don't think you need any. If you really want to work in an ER,...

    Becoming a NP in an Emergency Dept that you worked as a RN BSN

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

    I think you will find this attitude among RNs anywhere you go, especial when you're talking about ICU or ER nurses. And I think the transition can be difficult when you're switching roles in the same...

    Did your GPA in NP school matter

    Annaiya replied to megank5183's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really think it depends on what you value most. I really wanted a 4.0 for grad school. I wanted it for my BSN as well, but didn't even make it past the first semester. I did stress A LOT over...

    how much experience needed to become an NP

    Annaiya replied to SMRN2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm surprised your BSN programs discouraged going straight through for your NP. My school was really vocal about encouraging us to apply for NP school right away. They told us to apply before we...

    NP Independent Practice States

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

    I can't see any benefit by being regulated by the FTC. Nursing needs to be regulated by nursing. It would be nice to have more uniformity between states but I don't think that mandating uniformity is...

    new RN Grad with NP questions

    Annaiya replied to alltheway2013's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lol sorry, I meant to say that I was NOT disagreeing with you. My point was just that people not sure which specialty fits them better to look closer that the specifics of the education and not just...

    new RN Grad with NP questions

    Annaiya replied to alltheway2013's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm disagreeing with you, but I think you have to be careful when saying that a certain NP can do something based on what you see them doing at work, compared to what their education prepares them to...

    Asked about salary expectations

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

    I had one employer ask me specifically for a number for salary during a phone interview. Although I think having an idea of salary is important, I really find it rude to ask the candidate that...

    Pediatric Nurse Practioner- first job expectations and salary

    Annaiya replied to Cardinal23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure about salaries in your area. However, the orientation for a primary care job seems to be just a week or two. Pretty much just enough to learn where the bathroom is and a little about...

    Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

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

    That's good to hear that it maybe isn't quite as bad at the students were telling me. But even having to go into a specialty that you're not interested in, seems like a big deterrent to me. Of...
