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

    JeanettePNP replied to ENP1987's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. New Grad Job Market: A Game of Chance

    JeanettePNP replied to sourapril's topic in First Year After Licensure

    JeanettePNP replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in MICU, SICU

  9. Family Nurse Practitioner AND Nurse Midwife??

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

    Some women may choose to use their CNM as their PCP as well. However, I think caring for obstetric patients will keep you busy enough without doing primary care on top of

  10. NP

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

    Even in a direct entry NP program, the first 12-18 months usually are an accelerated RN program. You cannot become an NP without being an RN first. You do not necessarily need to work as an RN, but...

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

    You would not be able to enter an NP program directly. You would first have to complete an RN course and then you can apply to an NP program. Depending on where you went to school, and on which school...

    JeanettePNP replied to mmcc26's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  15. Parents being overly rough with their kids

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pediatric

    I don't know if it reaches to the level of a CPS call. But definitely inappropriate. Sometimes if there's time I'll have a chat about discipline methods, age-appropriate behavior, etc. But very often...

  16. Anger towards the traditional students

    JeanettePNP replied to libran1984's topic in LPN to RN

    I think you're still better off than a lot of students in your program who are in for a rude awakening once they graduate. Yeah, it's frustrating when you have to jump through dozens of hoops to get...

  21. Take a new grad RN job or continue to PNP program....HELP!

    JeanettePNP replied to Carolinarainbrella's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think NICU experience is valuable if you're pretty sure you only want to work with babies. As a PNP you will see a much wider range of conditions than you're likely to see in the NICU. Although, I'm...
