  1. Hey All! Looking ahead, I'm thinking my hubby and I may look to get our NP licenses transferred into Canada. I already know each province has its own specific process and what it does and does...
  2. Hey everybody! I’m an AGNP & ACNP (have been practicing as an APRN for 5 or 6 yrs now), and I am thinking of going back for a terminal degree. It’s more of a life goal than anything related to...
  3. SgonzoCPNP, thank you so much! That really helps. I have gone ahead and submitted all of my required documentation to the NursingCAS so as to hopefully enroll soon. Since I am already an AGNP and an...
  4. Ok. I'm putting my cards on the table. Putting my money where my mouth is. My boss asked all of us, physicians and nurse practitioners alike, to give ideas on what we can do to help with the flow of...
  5. Wow. That's actually quite an interesting idea. A resource nurse available for paging.... Definitely has
  6. Just got done rounding on my pts and charting charting charting, and I got to wondering.... Does anyone think it likely that there will ever be a way to become board certified as a Hospitalist NP?...
  7. Just google Upenn Streamlined post masters ACNP and it will bring up the info from Upenn's website. Email the one of the two ladies they list on there, and they can answer specifics. It seems to be a...
  8. Thanks to one and all for your input. I actually printed the responses and gave them to my boss who is going to go over some of the ideas and bring them to the head of nursing education. I understand...
  9. I went ahead and have enrolled in the Streamlined ACNP post masters at UPenn. It's a good program, well structured, and designed for folks in my exact situation (working as a hospitalist but with an...
  10. I wish I had the time to do this during my day, but I don't think I would be able to do as much if I did. I would like like to be paid for it, but we will see about that one. I am encouraging more...
  11. Online vs Traditional NP school

    I attended a mostly online program. We had to attend campus for skills/procedure training, but not for actual lectures. The lecture type material was a variety of things: recorded lectures, podcasts,...
  12. Dodongo, best answer to that question. LOL! Everyone works everywhere but no one is ever truly qualified to work where they work. Yep. I am an AGNP and work as a hospitalist in south MS.
  13. Primary care to acute care

    I graduated with a degree as an AGNP and practiced outpt internal medicine and urgent care, then I changed jobs after a couple of years and got a position as a hospitalist. So while I don't exactly...
  14. Prelift, I agree. There is not much to be said about how our degree programs are built sometimes. The only reason I have more than the required Basic Chem, Micro, and A&P 1 & 2 is because a...
  15. Thank you thank you. This is fairly much what I was looking/hoping for (as long as tuition wouldn't kill me, so hopefully it is reasonable as you said). Would be great to get some credit for...
  16. Probably still got another 20 or so years I will be practicing. Litigation worries? No more than the average practitioner. Been thinking about it sucking it up, though, actually. Only 4 years into my...
  17. Post Master's ACNP

    Hey! Just wondering if anyone ever finished looking into this program or actually enrolled or anything? I am certified as a Primary Care AGNP, but I practice as an inpatient hospitalist. I never ever...
  18. So my program didn't really include much in the way of radiology interpretation, such as for xrays, CTs, etc. Not many programs do from what I can tell; they seem to rely more on where you precept or...

    Neat! Thanks a
  20. Radiology CEUs...where?

    Oh, thanks! Yeah, I know one class won't do it, but I would like a course that covers basics, like just terminology, positioning, determining if there's over or under-exposure, etc. And then maybe...
  21. delegating physician

    Yeah, in MS our collaborator has to be practicing a type of medicine that is similar to what we are practicing. So if I do urgent care, then I need a primary care doctor, ER physician, urgent care...
  22. Would you be willing to do this?

    Meh. Nope. I would be okay with a day or two of shadowing someone. Mainly just to see if the pt population was the kind I was looking for and to make sure I could get along with the other provider....

    Urgent care, Pain Management, and Internal
  24. My part time job in pain management has me see about 30-40 pts per day for either injections or pre-injection exams. I work a10 hr day with an hr for lunch. It's a very focused exam, so it only takes...
  25. Nurse Practitioner Salary in Mississippi
