    Corey Narry replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Critical Care

    Corey Narry replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As a preceptor for AGACNP students, I don't even know how to distinguish diploma mill from schools that are not. I have precepted students from well known programs enrolled in their distance option...

    RN to NNP BRIDGE programs

    Corey Narry replied to rrdemascal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Palliative NP

    Corey Narry replied to KGE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Our in-Pt Palliative Care NP's are not acute care trained. That is not to say an ACNP can not do Palliative Care because I am friends with an ACNP who did Adult Critical Care NP for many years and is...

    Psych NP working remote in Mexico

    Corey Narry replied to futurRN1995's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The short answer is it is possible. Many physicians who do remote work live in an area outside of the jurisdiction where their patients live. For NP's, you'd have to figure out a few things: does the...

    It's a great specialty. The attendings all the way to the residents were a joy to work with. I would have stayed if I wasn't young and wanting some adrenaline jolt here and

    Calculating the Worth of the NP assignment
