  1. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    Bumashes replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Asue, don't worry. The classes for the MSN portion are still the same classes. They just changed the numbering around to reflect/denote the path to a higher education. The DNP students take the...

  2. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    Bumashes replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PatMac, I am attending USA and am enrolled in their Adult/Geron Primary Care NP track. And yes, the Secureproctor camera is super creepy...we get notes/emails from the instructor if they don't like...

  3. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    Bumashes replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can see your point, though I may not agree, because I suppose online education does seem shady due to its very nature, but I must point out that they pass the same cert exam so they must learn...

  4. Anyone ever worked for Rx Crossroads as a contract RN?

    Bumashes posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just accepted a position as a contract RN with Rx Crossroads to do home teaching of self-injection for specific meds. It's only meant as a supplementary income, not full-time work, and I have to...

  5. ACNP vs FNP --Help please!

    Bumashes replied to mrmike's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in MS, and we have urgent care clinics that only see age 16 and up. Just saying. It's not all about being able to see kids. Also, let's say if I was with a cardiologist, if we encountered a...

  6. Uti guidelines

    Bumashes replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm an RN in the ER, and I do these all the time. I don't LIKE doing them, but I definitely understand why my docs want them. Good for you for not wanting to load up kids on Abx for

  7. Why does Levaquin cause hypotension?

    Bumashes posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Hey all, I searched the site and did a quick google (not an intense search) and couldn't find the answer to this one. I've been told time and again that certain IV abx can cause hypotension,...

  8. Why does Levaquin cause hypotension?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Patient Medications

    Cool beans. Thanks for the info because all I could ever locate was the same statement about it causing the low BP, but there was never any real reason attached to

  9. Why does Levaquin cause hypotension?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Patient Medications

    Ah, that would at least make sense

  10. USA Spring 2012 Admission Letter?

    Bumashes posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just wanted to check and see if anyone else who has applied for admission to the Spring 2012 Acute Care NP program at USA has received any notification of acceptance to the program yet. I think the...

  11. USA Spring 2012 Admission Letter?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No worries. That was just a recommendation for the DNP, much as it is recommendation that RN's start out at the BSN level. Some schools have taken them more seriously than others by beginning to...

  12. UAB NP program

    Bumashes replied to bsnanat2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oops. Since then I went on their site and investigated. Looks like I just flat can't read. Yay for

  13. USA Spring 2012 Admission Letter?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Super! Great to hear from others, too! :) :)

  14. UAB NP program

    Bumashes replied to bsnanat2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I thought UAB only does DNP? Just curious because if they do MSN NP, then I need to apply there,

  15. USA Spring 2012 Admission Letter?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I got my acceptance letter today for the Acute Care NP track! For those who have been waiting, you can now start anticipating its arrival this week!

  16. USA Spring 2012 Admission Letter?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the reply. I guess the BSN-DNP program has a different timeline because the MSN track has the acceptance packet turn in date as mid to late November. I am planning to call them this next...

  17. any RNs have their Perkins Loan cancelled?

    Bumashes replied to melmarie23's topic in General Nursing

    I thought you had to have worked for some specific amount of time as an RN before you could do this? If not, let me know, and I'm all in!

  18. RN Bachelor's Degree

    Bumashes replied to Bprice's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'd go for a job first. The RN-BSN programs do not teach you nursing skills per se. They focus more on current trends in nursing, nursing education, health care policy, etc. So you would be missing...

  19. The most scariest thing...

    Bumashes replied to debRN0417's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OMG! I almost passed out for you just reading this! It goes to show how much you really care,

  20. No nursing shortage: roll call!

    Bumashes replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    Mississippi Gulf Coast = NO

  21. Shadowing in the ED

    Bumashes replied to mehitabela's topic in Emergency

    Good advice so far. I guess they're not going to actually let you DO anything, but just observe, right? As in, no EKG's, no IV starts, etc. However, it's very helpful when I get an ambulance to one...

    hi everyone, i'm just getting started in this summer semester at usa and want to get a jump on one of my assignments for my apn roles/leadership class that is due toward the end of july. it involves a...

  23. Nurse Practitioner Questionnaire for MSN Leadership Course at USA

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oh well, I guess I'll just have to do it the old fashioned way and break out the phone book. Feels too much like cold-calling for sales, though, ya know?

  24. A true life horror story

    Bumashes replied to nurse2it's topic in General Nursing

    That happened to me before, too, because the pt kept wriggling around in their bed. I guess they loosened up some tubing that was already loose to begin with. Luckily, they noticed before more than...

  25. Family vs Adult/Gero NP

    Bumashes replied to JDinMN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know they have them. I just can't remember where right now. But they aren't too hard to find. Have you asked your university what they offer? I'm going to South Alabama and they offer 4 or 5...
