    yellow finch posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi there! I'm jumping into your state's forum hoping to find other Oakland U grad students or anybody who's researched their programs or applied. I'm especially interested in their post-master's CRNA...

    yellow finch replied to yellow finch's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    And thanks to everyone who responded. I suppose it's hard to find a good medium and "level of respect" amongst MDs with the graduate level of education and a doctoral degree. My issue... suppose I'll...

    yellow finch replied to yellow finch's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The ERs are still hesitant in my area to hire NPs. One local hospital has a PA that works the afternoon shift. The ICUs, however, are present in many of the larger hospitals in town. I'm looking at a...

    ANCC or AANP Exam - Which to take???

    yellow finch replied to npstudent's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll probably register to take both exams basically due to fear of failing one exam and passing the other. It's a realistic option but I appreciate all the comments on the ANCC exam being the easier...

    Low GPA

    Ever have problems with RN's?

    yellow finch replied to Lilith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry to hear how much flack you're getting. I haven't seen our mid-levels treated with disrespect, but then our hospital is flogged with mid-levels. To be perfectly honest, I was originally thinking...

    I work in a Neuro ICU. The current NP and the new NP they just hired both are First Assist in the OR. When I asked the first NP (she's ACNP if that matters any) how she got into it, she simply said...
