  1. AACN ACNPC-AG boards

    MursingMedic replied to jnewman435's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks. This is a start. I was hoping to hear from someone and their experience based on practice exams and the like. Once your transcripts show your degree you can submit them electronically to...

  2. UCSF vs UW

    MursingMedic replied to jaynakim34's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not an FNP, but just graduated UW's AGNP AC track. FWIW, there's a big BIG focus on underserved populations, health disparities and health equity in the first year of the program. The SON in...

  3. Nurse Practitioner Residencies

    MursingMedic replied to JuiceBoxHero's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This sounds very much like the UCSD neurovascular program. I really wanted to apply but can't uproot my family or leave them for a year while being the sole provider. My next job is going to try to...

  4. AACN ACNPC-AG boards

    MursingMedic replied to jnewman435's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Bumping this. I'm scheduled to take the exam in a month and am wondering what the passing percentage is. I know it's a dynamic scoring system, but at the same time, it would be nice to know if I'm...

  5. How can I help educate floor nurses as a Hospitalist NP?

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

    In my nursing school clinicals there was an NP who worked for CTS that rounded on the step down units. She had 30 minutes scheduled each day to do a brief informal brown bag with a unit of her...

  6. Invasive procedures?

    MursingMedic replied to francoml's topic in Advanced Practice

    You guys got me feeling good about my chosen path! I'm 4/10 quarters into my AGNPAC DNP. As a former navy corpsman, paramedic and critical care ER nurse, you're just reaffirming my decision to go into...

  7. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    MursingMedic replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have some theories... The DNP doesn't have the same rigor as the PhD. This is a selling point for some by being able to market a doctorate without typically requiring a thesis or the detailed...

  8. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

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

    Would it be too out of place to speak with leadership, express what you're currently sensing in the work environment (without be accusatory) and asking for time to find new employment before any...

  9. University of Washington DNP Program

    MursingMedic replied to xnv30rn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Don't be discouraged. GO TO THE INFORMATION SESSIONS! I cannot stress this enough. Everything you need to know to have a competitive application comes directly from the sessions. I would say that a...

  10. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    MursingMedic replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I can appreciate your enthusiasm and enjoyment of pursuing higher education. I, however, am in a DNP program and agree with others that much of it is "fluff." I'm not being taught to examine...

  11. All the degrees, no job

    MursingMedic replied to DNPFNP15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Positive impact = options for future career changes or opportunities potential for more credibility depending on the work environment better understanding of administrative and ethical...

  12. All the degrees, no job

    MursingMedic replied to DNPFNP15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You guys got me stressing now. I start my DNP in the fall... It's a core 1 year didactic front loaded for all tracks which then split off into individual clinical tracks for year 2. They make you go...

  13. All the degrees, no job

    MursingMedic replied to DNPFNP15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I've worked with a couple people who thought that by attaining every degree and certification under the sun would therefore qualify them by default to a ton of quick career ladder jumps. Alphabet soup...

  14. University of Washington DNP application '16

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I got my acceptance today for the AGNP-AC track. Congrats to everyone who got their letters

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm sorry to hear that. I'm still sitting here

  16. UW DNP program

    MursingMedic replied to dsab's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That sucks! Sorry @mzjanedoe. You're the first one to get anything (or at least let us know). How hard was the app for SPU? Did you have to take the

  17. University of Washington DNP application '16

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    So, reviewing this thread.... https://allnurses.com/post-graduate-nursing/university-of-washington-898734-page8.html In 2014, first announcements were received this week in March. In 2015, first...

  18. University of Washington DNP application '16

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The grad school application website says they will notify you of their decision via mail and email. I'm assuming the website will update the status as well. Right now I've been in "submitted" status...

  19. "Bleed" an IV line

    MursingMedic replied to gospa's topic in Emergency

    I remember some study I read a couple years ago that showed certain tubing will absorb ~5-10% of the insulin over time. It is real, I swear. I'm not sure if this was the specific paper I read or not,...

  20. to be or not to be a CEN

    MursingMedic replied to nowwhat's topic in Emergency

    The Neuro Rehab experience will not benefit unless you're really good at selling yourself. The dialysis time may help more since you have to be more prepared for unforeseen circumstances and you...

  21. Paramedic School before i start my BSN?

    MursingMedic replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Emergency

    Echoing statements from early in this thread, keep them separate. Each program was difficult for its own reasons. No matter how flexible one school may be, the rigors are too much to do concurrently....

  22. reading EKGs- an advanced privilege?

    MursingMedic replied to NPmimzy75's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We have a similar situation at the hospital I am at. Good old boys club with an old school conservative culture. In the ER the group has decided only PAs would supplement their practice. They are...

  23. Ever respond on a plane? Videoed?

    MursingMedic replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    As an ER Nurse and Paramedic I was returning home from a conference when a call was made on the flight. I waited until they asked a second time and I got up. No one was filming to my knowledge. It was...

  24. University of Washington DNP application '16

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Doesn't stop me from checking every day. :) I was hoping there would be more of a crowd here, especially with the amount of applicants they get every

    MursingMedic replied to RunLove13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    ~1 month away until we know. Despite this, I am still checking the application website as part of my daily routine
