I wear sports casual. black pants and runners. I let my work speak for itself, am clean and tidy.

Best to ask the school. However, IMO it likely refers to hands on patient care, making clinical decisions. As an NP, the fact that I have worked as an RN helps shape the care I provide and gives me insight what will work in practice.

I found clinic work in general very stressful, because of overbooking, short appointments for complex patients( it was a cancer associated thrombosis clinic) and not enough support staff. I swore to never work clinic again. I now work as hem/onc N...

getting board certification through ANCC or AANP will help you

Hello, Laine: I'm gearing up for retirement this year too. To help me, I have hired a financial planner to provide various scenarios. I realize that I should have started planning my retirement schedule way before this, at least 2 years ahead....

IMO : I worked in a specialty area as a NP new grad, but it was an area I have many years of RN experience. The way patient acuity has changed in hem/onc: I would never recommend this job to a new grad NP. In fact, I strongly recommended to my orga...

There will likely be layoffs soon for nurses. Most jobs are casual and part time.

If you are out of scope, AHS does not port your seniority, sicktime and even tries to ding you on vacation accrual. So if you are moving from Covenant Health to AHS: negotiate and remember is the move worth it?

As far as I know BC, AB and Ontario will recognize ANCC/AANP certification as an NP but whether they recognize your NP education as equivalent may be ? subject to their review. If other NPs in the same province have already had their NP programs ass...

In my experience, it is primarily the responsibility of the person who ordered the test.

Oh wow....sorry I am reading this after nearly 2 yrs! I have worked hospital acute care, medical units and specialty units of hematology/oncology as a NP. I currently work in a hem/onc daycare/triage and also in a cancer associated thrombosis subspe...

Hellohobbit: What did you decide? Employer sponsored education usually has a catch...you may need to work at least a year or pay back the prorated cost of education. Having said that, specialty areas are a good place to learn...there is usually over...

This is extremely disturbing...

i am hoping to scale back to 2 days a week in 2018 after I turn 57. I keep my benefits at a FTE: 0.4, get out of the house and have an opportunity to do some critical thinking and provide care. I have 5 days off a week. I am hoping for a nonclinic j...

I am not a big fan of nephrology patients....in my opinion, they r usually 'difficult' Hem/onc patients on the other hand....r my favorite patient population to work with

ditto to what BeckyBrown NP just wrote.

Still fairly common if the chemotx has a finite # of cycles or is every 3 wks or longer. If the patient has good peripheral veins or the patient declines to have a port or a PICC

Well, now many of my oncology patients are my age or younger. Definitely pulls on your heart strings!!

For the RNs who ask me if it is worth being an NP: I always ask them if they are currently happy in their job position as an RN. If so, I don't recommend NP.

I do give them some extra attention, if desired, as a professional courtesy. I find dentists, as a group, to be the most difficult patients, with nurses(especially the senior 65 yr + nurses) the next most difficult. I find family members who are lawy...

If the kid washes daily....how come he still smells? Definitely will impact his social interactions... Poor kid. Isnt this more a social work kinda issue?

Yes there is high demand for psych NPs....but like any specialty...it is best if you come from that specialty as a RN. For myself, I would never apply for a cardiology, nephrology NP position because that isnt my comfort zone. When u r the NP in a sp...

NP experience: 15 yrs in 2017

this is usually a clinical provider dinner...no companions invited/expected
