  1. Orthopedic Fellowship at UNC Chapel Hill

    KimHFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi! Has anyone completed or in the process of completing the Orthopedic Fellowship at UNC Chapel Hill? I have always been very interested in Orthopedics and am considering applying. I am an FNP with...

  2. I hate nursing

    KimHFNP replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why so many of you are being so mean. This woman is asking for advice and it's obvious that she is suffering from depression. Where is your compassion? Neezy- I recommend you find a...

    KimHFNP replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    The National Health Service offers loan repayment facilities in underserved areas in the US. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to relocate though- I live in Tennessee and ever county in the state...

  4. Direct Entry MSN Program Opinion

    KimHFNP replied to med_life_for_me's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went to a Master's Entry Program. We, of course, were in our final classes with the NP students who were RNs first. I felt that there was no difference in ability, or understanding in the students...

  6. Orthopedic Fellowship at UNC Chapel Hill

    KimHFNP replied to KimHFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also have contacted the program coordinators. I am interested in both what a student of the program has to say vs what a coordinator of the program has to say. As I said above I have 2 young...

  7. Orthopedic Fellowship at UNC Chapel Hill

    KimHFNP replied to KimHFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It occurred to me that I should let you know what I would like to know about it: What are the hours like? Is it 8-5 Monday thru Friday? Or do you have to work overnight in the hospital sometimes? I...

  8. Long time experience RN w/new NP license ready for NP role-enough financial benefit

    KimHFNP replied to hello101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I didnt read all 39 posts, so forgive me if I am repeating something already said. Remember that often for a staff nurse to make $50 or more per hour, they often have to take shifts at terrible times...

  9. Surgical first assist as NP?

    KimHFNP replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I have a tentative interview with an orthopedic surgeon this week. I am an FNP. I do not have any ortho experience or OR experience. I have a professional history with this surgeon and she likes...

  10. So frustrated and depressed

    KimHFNP replied to deftonez188's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you depressed? Sounds like you did great! They would not be holding your test for Q and A if you failed- why bother? I hated all of the hype around the NCLEX- it was stupid. It is not a hard...

  12. Hi everyone , new to site and really need some advice!!!!

    KimHFNP replied to chocolategirl's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about this...? I knew a lot of people who would get a low level job in a big hospital before going to nursing school. Big hospital systems will often pay for a person to go to nursing...

    KimHFNP replied to southernbelle08's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  15. Workplace rights for NP?

    KimHFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If anyone can give me some information out there, I would really appreciate it. I work in a weight loss clinic and mainly prescribe phentermine. I have worked there for 2 1/2 years and the atmosphere...

  16. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    KimHFNP replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not sure you understood what I was trying to say. Regardless of the amount of males/females in either field, the way NPs are educated is fundamentally different bc of the nursing model. For...

  17. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    KimHFNP replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi-to bring the thread back around to topic I have a few comments. I was reading the postings to this thread from a long time ago (like two years) and someone made the comment that compassion, etc. is...

  18. could use some advice

    KimHFNP replied to mingus_lost's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are a few midwife/FNP programs out there. I know that Vanderbilt does (in Nashville) and I know that the Frontier Nursing School in Kentucky does also. I know about these programs because they...

  19. could use some advice

    KimHFNP replied to mingus_lost's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can do ANYTHING as an FNP. An FNP is like a general practitioner. The other specialties are what are limited. You also can work in OB as an FNP, you simply cannot deliver babies. (In fact, I work...

  20. Question about quality of work environment

    KimHFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I am an FNP and I recently got a job working two days per week in a primary care clinic. The hours are 10-6 and the last patient is supposed to be at 5:30. Those of you out there who work as NPs,...

  21. Question about quality of work environment

    KimHFNP replied to KimHFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are right, we don't work at Walmart. However, I have seen a lot of complaints on this site about how NPs don't feel that we are treated right, or paid enough. Does anyone think that we bring some...

  22. NP working as an RN

    KimHFNP replied to romie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think a lot of RN's with experience working as an RN get "spoiled" if you will with how easily and quickly one can get a job as an RN. I know that where I live, in Memphis, you can just about apply...

  23. Seeking FNP info and advice

    KimHFNP replied to PhillyKidRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that FNP is the way to go simply because you are so flexible. The only downside to it is that you won't get as much specialized education in pediatrics as you will in a PNP program. However,...

  24. Most *Popular/Highest Paid* NP Specialty??

    KimHFNP replied to CDianeH88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also preferred Women's Health, and ended up becoming an FNP instead. You can still get a job in Women's health as an FNP (I just got one), you don't even have to have the dual major. You get a...

  25. Need advice from Spanish speakers...

    KimHFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I recently got a part-time job (2 days per week) at a Spanish speaking clinic. I do not speak Spanish, but really want to learn. Do any of you have any experience with online Spanish language...
