  1. Brave or just stupid?

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

    I'm hoping those in your specialty will respond because at least in psych it is very possible for a lousy prescriber and diagnostician to remain that way their entire career. I see it all the time...

  2. Brave or just stupid?

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

    Wow you are getting 1,600 clinical hours in NP school? Please consider the DNP capstone thing IS NOT clinical hours despite their asserting it is. In my personal experience NP clinical hours are...

  3. Brave or just stupid?

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

    Serious question: do you know how many clinical hours PAs are required to

  4. Brave or just stupid?

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

    Excellent point and in all honesty the path all of us with a NP license have taken is a short cut bypassing the rigors of medical school so imvho to then short cut the short cut is frightening. OP I...

  5. Hospital NPs & Lounge Access

    Jules A replied to wyld~heart's topic in Advanced Practice

    Great story and I'd like to apply to work with you as we only get skimpy cold sandwiches and soup,

  6. Brave or just stupid?

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

    No way??? I made that as a ADN on the east coast and while I'd guess our cost of living is minimally higher I am shocked that any NP let alone someone with your solid experience would not make more...

  7. Hospital NPs & Lounge Access

    Jules A replied to wyld~heart's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm with you on not whining over insignificant issues however that this is such blatant indication of their lack of respect and one that has nothing to do with our abilities or scope of practice I'd...

  8. NP Programs, Preceptors and You - Get Your Voice Heard!

    Jules A replied to stickit34's topic in Advanced Practice

    I hope the preceptor issue isn't the only concern about the current state of NP education worth mentioning. What about the total lack of admission standards many schools have? There are some that will...

  9. Hospital NPs & Lounge Access

    Jules A replied to wyld~heart's topic in Advanced Practice

    Alrighty then. I wasn't insinuating it was an imposition so much as totally insulting to expect you to provide evidence to defend this major

  10. Hospital NPs & Lounge Access

    Jules A replied to wyld~heart's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why would you need to know that? You don't need proof that this is a disrespectful and miserly move on their part. Get the head of your hospital's midlevel group to immediately request a reversal....

  11. Brave or just stupid?

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

    Excellent question and there are a couple of articles out there indicating there isn't an issue, "nursing research" of course, however I believe it is too early in this new initiative to have enough...

  13. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    Jules A replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    No but the CCNE has. Deadline May 5th. Thanks to stickit34 for posting this in the specialty section! American Association of Colleges of Nursing | CCNE

  14. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

    Jules A replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Uhhhh did anyone get that these numbers aren't even close to adding up based on a 32h

  15. All CRNA Schools website promoting AAs

    Jules A replied to loveanesthesia's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Wow I had no idea there was a back door and thought CRNAs were super tight with regard to your admission standards and quality of programs. I thought it was just NPs who were being bastardized by the...

  16. What Do You Do When Co-Worker Falls Asleep on Night Shift?

    Jules A replied to NightNerd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It happened in the open nurses station one time and I woke the person up with a loud "Dude wake up. Your snoring so loud its going to wake up the patients" That person was truly snoring but hmmmm it...

  17. Walden NP students

    Jules A replied to RNJack-Bama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    While I have no intention of bashing any particular school, because frankly I think most are light on actual medical education anyway, touting pass rates is underwhelming to me. I've been told boards...

  18. Rejected for being a Male NP?

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

    I agree it is illegal but proving that someone actually said it to you could be difficult in my opinion and you probably don't want to work somewhere that you aren't welcome anyway. I've never needed...

  19. Independent practice for APRN's, unfair to MD's.

    Jules A replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Advanced Practice

    Sigh, I need to move to Texas! Check this out. There is a long list approved by the CCNE. In Maryland yowza 27 pages of approved NP programs for the state. DC lists the board certifications it...

  20. Rejected for being a Male NP?

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

    I agree and hope the OP has better answers as to why it is his DREAM job than the aforementioned desire to walk to work and obtain high-end health benefits.

  21. Independent practice for APRN's, unfair to MD's.

    Jules A replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Advanced Practice

    It is no secret that I believe our profession which was light to begin with absolutely will start showing the signs of poor care and a lack of knowledge. What is very interesting lately is that a few...

  22. New Grad...2 offers

    Jules A replied to flipper628's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you really think #1 would be the better fit for you absolutely ask if they can match the offer. What's the worst they can say? No? So what? Do not be afraid to hear the word no. Its just a word and...

  23. Fleet enema for a confused dementia patient

    Jules A replied to Sjade's topic in Patient Medications

  24. Patient's family in denial

    Jules A replied to standardprecautions's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure the attending knows because they should be educating the family on a realistic

    Jules A replied to flipper628's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am surprised you are even considering number 1 based on the financials and that you know someone at number 2 who enjoys it. As for the pace of job #1 I can guarantee you "that not expected to see a...
