Hi all, I'm an adult ARNP at a non-profit/academic medical center. I work full time in oncology. I have a LOT of student loans and would like to find a repayment program..I know about NHSC, which I might do eventually, but it'd be nice to not have to...

A good overview, thanks. I work at a big hospital in Seattle, as an adult ARNP. My salary is $81K (one year of experience) and ARNP school cost me a LOT; I will have to to NHSC eventually. I wish I didn't have to leave my current job to do so, but th...

I wish I made that much! I work in Seattle and make 81K as a full-time adult ARNP at a big hospital. $100k, I can dream!!!

Hi all, I'm taking the Adult NP exam through the AANP in a couple of months. I'm trying to devise a plan for studying--I think I'm going to review all of my pharm, physical exam normals/abnormals, and pathophys/disease specific info. Then I'm going t...

Hi all---I sent my application to test (Adult NP) to the AANP back in early November and STILL have not been approved. I called, and they said that my application was complete but that for 'some reason' it hadn't been approved yet. I'm so so so annoy...

Interesting--I hate to file a BBB complaint, but if I don't hear back from them in the next week I may. I'm waiting on a job, and have been waiting months to certify. It's just beyond ridiculous, especially given that they took my money! Argh!

Hi all, I'm about 6 months weeks pregnant with b/g twins, technically due in August . Right now I'm a full time student (just finishing up grad school, nursing) and I also work a .6 on the (night) weekends as a staff nurse- pediatric oncologyBMT. Unt...

OMG no WAY! I'd be out of there in five minutes. I like my job most of the time but I know I'd be outta there....

Hi all, I'm an ARNP student and was recently reprimanded by an instructor for what she views as a 'possible HIPAA violation'. This is my last quarter as an ARNP student so this is a bit of a shock! I learned that in order to share chart notes with i...

Well I know that she said she was going to forward it to a bunch of people, which would be a pretty obvious offense, since these people aren't in a 'need to know' group. I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong, it's so frustrating. And I have...

Awesome! I bet you feel great about that, congratulations!

Thanks for all of your replies, I'm a little stunned. As a working nurse and soon to be ARNP I felt that I had a pretty clear understanding of HIPAA when it comes to what is appropriate and not appropriate to share. I'm super annoyed that the precept...

It totally makes sense that in a small town this might be a challenge, but this is in a huge city in a clinic with well over a thousand patients. Her age was 47 or so, totally 'typical'. I too have heard of not putting extreme ages on notes. I just p...

Hi all, I cross-posted this on the ARNP board as well. I'm an RN in ARNP school and am seeking more opinions, this is giving me an MI today. Thanks in advance! **** Hi all, I'm an ARNP student and was recently reprimanded by an instructor for what sh...

I'm baffled to by it all and really upset that now I look like a total A$$ to the clinic and what not. I too wondered why *she* forwarded it..um..wouldn't that be an even worse violation? Since those people were not directly involved in patient care?...

Yeah, THAT...and STAT!

The assistant DON asked you to lie?!?! That's insane. I say go higher up for sure, don't risk your license for someone else's ridiculous request for you to lie. Not worth it at ALL. Good luck, be honest.

"When I was giving report at the end of my shift saying the patient failed another wean trial, the nurse interrupted me and pretended to wipe away fake tears and say boohoo while she was laughing with my preceptor!" That is INCREDIBLY unprofessional ...

I go right back to a usual day schedule, I hate working nights but the money is good and the shift calmer...I know some people maintain that biorhythm but I just can't! Good luck..

Hi all, I work on a heme-onc unit and we often give Ribavirin, which is class X as far as drugs go---guaranteed to cause birth defects in pregnant women, basically. So anyone within three months of trying to conceive, anyone who is pregnant or breast...

Well, ideally I wouldn't be on a heme-onc unit but I can't just change my job! I guess I will just have to tell but I just hate it and I know the whole damn unit will know my business. So part of the problem is I don't want to tell because it is priv...

Take the new job, no question!

L'occitane shea butter hand cream for sure!

Not sure..I'm at Children's, where starting is 22.87 and call is required twice a month.

I never thought it would be this hard, no. I'm in an ARNP program right now and I can't wait to do that instead--I DO enjoy being an RN, but a lot of times I feel like a service worker that parents (I'm in peds) just boss around, like a maid...instea...
