  1. Standardization of NP Education

    Jules A replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Or perhaps not ignorance but of disappointment of the nursing model as compared to the PA model? I am seriously jealous when I see PA curriculum as compared to what my programs offered. Hindsight is...

  2. Standardization of NP Education

    Jules A replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So in spite of your condescending jab about subjective data and my lack of a need for the actual temperature reading on the campfire to know not to stick my hand in as usual you have good questions so...

  3. Standardization of NP Education

    Jules A replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How many credits would you estimate between your BSN, and MSN on the "bare minimum required" nursing fluff? I bet there at least 12 that could have been better spent on valuable topics such as ortho,...

  4. Standardization of NP Education

    Jules A replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Or how about this? While we are waiting for said data why don't we attempt to prevent our profession from decompensating? We could use our good old fashioned critical thinking skills and consider that...

  5. Standardization of NP Education

    Jules A replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As one of the annoying people who despite doing my research, being willing to meet stringent admission standards and going to a well respected, BM school that did provide preceptors albeit most their...

  6. Calling all Psych NPs/PMHNPs

    Jules A replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  7. Taking call, do NPs get paid call pay?

    Jules A replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    For those with call requirements as part of your salaried position how did you price

  8. Standardization of NP Education

    Jules A replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree and in my view things have changed in the last 10 years with regard to the number of programs and lack of admissions criteria. Although I was underwhelmed by my well respected, high ranking...

  9. Taking call, do NPs get paid call pay?

    Jules A replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Reach out to NPs in that area. If call is included in your salary package as with most physician packages I'd want a significant amount above the base depending on how much call and what it entails....

  10. Gave up DNP

    Jules A replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    The general job site ads around here are starting to specify doctorate although I'm not sure they really know what they are asking for. I don't see a major problem getting some type of work or being...

  11. Shocked by MD attitude

    Jules A replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And consult the MD next time as he made it clear that at this time he prefers patients aren't sent out without his

  12. New NP pay

    Jules A replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    Or search here as there have been many threads. In Washington DC/Maryland suburbs the savvy new grad psychiatric NPs are starting at $150,000+

  13. Future FNP Program Student!

    Jules A replied to darnellescott's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is sound advice. My suggestion would be use whatever RN contacts you have made to network. Ask everyone you work with if they know a friend of a friend of a friend. Good

  14. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I JUST CAN'T...say anything close to what I feel and remain even slightly within the

  15. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No worries as with all things nursing the actual hours in practice requirement is embarrassing low as evidenced by the lack of real world skill in many of the full time NP faculty I have encountered....

  16. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But they didn't have to un-ring the bell. It will be nearly impossible to shut the barn

  17. Opinion on "direct entry/immersion" NP programs for non-nurses?

    Jules A replied to simcc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Know your source and whether they have any actual first hand

  18. PACE Elder Care-entrepreneurial NP?

    Jules A posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know nothing about this other than it looked interesting and might make for an excellent NP opportunity for those entrepreneurial ones among us. Anyone with any knowledge or experience? About NPA...

  19. Equal work for Equal Pay

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And out of that probably 4 years of nursing fluff-theory, leadership, populations...Not even remotely comparable to physicians

  20. Brave or just stupid?

    Jules A replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Literally just blew sparkling water out my nose. I'm jealous now, that would actually be worthwhile a theory class,

  21. Brave or just stupid?

    Jules A replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Obviously I value my RN experience and feel others would benefit from it also but that doesn't make me jealous. I always consider that it seems many of those who aren't DE but are supporting it happen...

  22. Brave or just stupid?

    Jules A replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dude I usually like your posts but I have to disagree with this one. The actual role is different but a strong psych RN in most cases has the experience and insight, although not the authority, to...

  23. What's next?

    Jules A replied to jennifer.nadal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My advice would be use the next few years to gain valuable RN experience and expand your repertoire. Working in the areas, such as mother/baby, as a RN will give you insight into what area you would...

  24. School Pedigree in Job Search for PMHNP

    Jules A replied to Psych4644's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In my area the biggies aren't impressive locally and in some case may be a hindrance because we know them and some have quite the delusions of grandeur. If you are taking a big name back to CA it...

  25. Dropping the "Nurse Card"?

    Jules A replied to RNJay_'s topic in General Nursing

    Very possible this is due to my age and the era I grew up in but the title of this thread is offensive to me. Any chance it could be changed? Because it is a great topic. I have thrown out the "nurse...
