3. FNP job search gone bad

   AtomicWoman replied to TravelNurseFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Maybe this article in Medical Economics will give you some inspiration for other states to look at. If the state is short of PCPs, it might be a good place to look for a job as an FNP....

4. On line NP or On-campus Np? (MA)

   AtomicWoman replied to Rosemarch's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I cannot tell you how many people I know who regretted doing online programs, because they were required to find their own preceptors. They were enormously stressed, and some had to take a semester...

5. Adding second CRNP specialty in Pennsylvania

   AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   As far as I know, the Commonwealth does not have a deadline to obtain licensure for a second specialty. It all depends on whether you are working in that specialty or not. If you're working in the...

6. Anyone take the new version of PMHNP ANCC test?

   AtomicWoman replied to Drpeenisfingers's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Did you look at the new test content outline? It is rather different from the old test content outline. One of the biggest changes was that the "Professional Role and Polices" questions have been...

7. Changes to ANCC PMHNP-BC Dec.16th?

   AtomicWoman replied to Rayngler's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   They cannot do this. This is how they test new questions to determine if they will be placed in the test bank for the actual test (that counts toward your score). They get a lot of useful statistics...

8. Malpractice Insurance Co. Recommendations

   AtomicWoman posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I have been with ProLiability for the last 8 years or so, but their customer service has gotten pretty unresponsive, which is aggravating. Anyone have a good experience with other NP malpractice...

10. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    AtomicWoman replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

14. I walked out of a job fair after being Reminded why I left the southeast

    AtomicWoman replied to Tony1790's topic in Advanced Practice

    Don't call me a "physician extender". It makes NPs sound like medical Hamburger Helper! ? I will not even respond to a job ad that uses that term. It speaks volumes about the culture of the employer...
