  1. Irritated by changes to ANP/GNP certification

    SC ANP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am currently enrolled in an adult/geriatric NP program. When I started, one of the things that appealed to me most was this program's assurance that by taking extra clinical hours, I could sit for...

  2. Inpatient NPs - what is your patient load?

    SC ANP replied to ghillbert's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a newer NP (~18 months) and I am on my second job. My first position was hectic & chaotic. I went from office to inpatient to nursing home daily. When I was rounding in the hospital, I had as...

  3. ANCC to retire most popular, and eventually all, NP roles.

    SC ANP replied to RPF,PhD,NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This really makes me crazy. I am graduating in 2012, from a program that is an A/GNP program. But if the certification exam for A/GNP is not offered until 2013, where does that leave me? Do I wait a...

  4. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    SC ANP replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    apocatastasis- I understand what you are saying re: your worth to a practice- however, as a new NP (or just graduating & looking for a first job, as I will be soon)- how do you research that? I...

  5. Irritated by changes to ANP/GNP certification

    SC ANP replied to SC ANP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The information I received from AANP stated that the Gero certification would be offered until 2014 for those who wished to add that certification to an existing ANP, but the combined Adult/Gero exam...

  6. Not really "feeling it"

    SC ANP posted a topic in Cardiac

    Hi all- I am a relatively new RN- graduated in Dec 08, just passed my 6 months on the floor. I work a cardiac step-down, with telemetry. I used to get 4 pts, but now regularly get 5 - including active...

  7. Geriatric NP- your opinion?

    SC ANP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have been wanting to do a Geriatric NP since I started NS. I like seniors, feel like I work well with them and have more patience with them than some others. However, I have had a lot of ppl tell me...

  8. Wayne State Accelerated Program

    SC ANP replied to mariasmomma's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Not an early acceptance, but a graduate. Did you have some

  9. Northern Michigan hospitals

    SC ANP replied to tvccrn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You might want to look into Munson Medical Center. The main campus is in Traverse City, which *is* (obviously) a city- but rural areas are not too far away. I think their website also has a listing of...

  10. New Grad RN Jobs In Michigan

    SC ANP replied to DLS_PMHNP's topic in Michigan Nursing

    U of M is also on a hiring freeze. & you're right- not many jobs were posted, but they were talked up at job fairs. I think that some nurses that are already working are transitioning from...

  11. Wayne's Clinical attire

    SC ANP replied to WayneStateKatie's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Those will be fine. When they say no scrubs, they mean your standard scrub top with one pocket at the top- the pants are fine. And they will tell you (several times) not to wear colored underwear-...

  12. Wayne State University

    SC ANP replied to klkozicki's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No problem! A year ago, I was in your shoes...

  13. Wayne State University

    SC ANP replied to klkozicki's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No PDA here. I know a classmate or two who have them, but they're certainly not required. Or necessary, really. There are a few pocket guides which are probably good enough. HTH!

  14. Wayne State University

    SC ANP replied to klkozicki's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Malenurse: Commute. By all means. As long as you have a car, I would say live free and spend your $$ on gas instead of rent. Katie- I can't really think of any great advice, other than keep yourself...

  15. Wayne State University

    SC ANP replied to klkozicki's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hey Israfeel- If you've already got those classes under our belt, the first semester should be smooth sailing for you. 2050 is the only course with a clinical, so you should have lots of time for...

  16. Wayne State University

    SC ANP replied to klkozicki's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats, Waynestatekatie, malenurse734, & israfeel!! You will now have a love/hate relationship with the CON. So happy you got in/so consumed with tough classes. malenurse- I wouldn't sweat it...

  17. Second Degree Programs

    SC ANP replied to parris's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes, I'm in the accelerated program. I agree, the wait is tough. Hang in there. :icon_hug: The summer class is Assessment- a course I took in my 1st semester, but during summer they cram it into 2...

  18. Second Degree Programs

    SC ANP replied to parris's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Cassey- I am in Wayne State's program right now- the applications close on March 31, I believe, for the CD2 program. You don't have to have all of the prereq's done before applying, just before...

  19. Wayne State CD-2 Program

    SC ANP replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    ChristinaJoy- I didn't know about the change of criteria, I only applied the one time. :imbar From my understanding, many people apply, but for whatever reason do not complete the application process-...

  20. Wayne State CD-2 Program

    SC ANP replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm pretty sure Wayne has had the same admissions policy for a few years, actually. And IIRC, most of the 2nd degree programs give preference to those who took pre-req's or got their undergrad degree...

  21. Desperately Need Help With Care Plans

    SC ANP replied to LVN2006's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I could use some help- for some reason I'm having trouble with outcome criteria. My patient's medical dx was hypercalcemia d/t hyperparathyroidism. My nursing dx is Acute confusion rt electrolyte...

  22. part-time second degree programs?

    SC ANP replied to veggiemom's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Let me preface my remarks by saying that I am by no means an expert in this area, nor do I play one on tv. That said, I think you will want to seriously consider the accelerated program. You may want...
