  1. Recording of Class Lectures by Students

    AtomicWoman replied to D.Larry's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I do allow anyone to record my lectures. It is helpful to some students, and seems to ease anxiety about the amount of material the course covers. I make it clear that the recordings cannot be shared...

  2. How satisfied are you with nurse educator or APRN career?

    AtomicWoman replied to elephantlover's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am both and I love both (f/t academic, p/t APRN). It can be stressful at times when the workload is high in one or both roles. But students love having a practicing NP for a teacher. I always feel...

  3. MSN: Education vs. Specialty Degree

    AtomicWoman replied to starryx2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I know the original post is old, but anyone reading this can consider getting their advanced degree in an NP specialty, get a teaching job and then getting their CNE certification after 2 years of...

  4. CNE Exam

    AtomicWoman replied to ProfessorD's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Update: I took the exam yesterday and passed with a comfortable margin on the first try. Yay! I do not have an MSN in Nursing Ed, nor any other degree in education, so I took it under "Option B". My...

  5. CEU/CME for recertification with ANCC??

    AtomicWoman replied to Tony1790's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's 75 hours, including 25 hours in pharmacology, assuming you also meet one of the other requirements (like practice hours). If ONLY recertifying with CEs, you need 150n hours, including 25 hours of...

  6. CNE Exam

    AtomicWoman replied to ProfessorD's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am wading through Billings right now. It's kind of dry and I keep nodding off. :) I plan to take the NLN practice test next week. Anyone use Mometrix, and was it

  7. University of Cincinnati online Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

    AtomicWoman replied to bailey502's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wondering if anyone has any updates on the UC program. I got accepted, but they aren't the only school I am applying to. How did anyone feel about the program? Did it prepare you well to take the ANCC...

  8. NCLEX Shut off at 88!

    AtomicWoman replied to MarissaChristine's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you haven't used this book, I can highly recommend it: Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment: Practice Exercises for the NCLEX Examination, 3e:

  9. Employer holding pay check

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

    I am sorry to hear about your thieving employer. I agree with others that you should file a complaint with your state Labor Board. As far as not knowing whether you have malpractice insurance, this is...

  10. DEA licenses in more than one state?

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

    Yes. I really wish they would make it so that you get one, national DEA number, but nope. You have to get a number for each

  11. Advice?? Having trouble finding NP job.

    AtomicWoman replied to seibeb2012's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I disagree that adult-gero primary care is limiting (yep, I am an AGPCNP). True that the retail clinics want FNPs. But adult-gero NPs can work in internal medicine (including endocrinology,...

  12. Private practice

    AtomicWoman replied to cody0928's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can read a lot of free articles on Nurse Practitioners in Business - Business Education, Resources & Support for Entrepreneurial Clinicians. I also get emails from Barbara. I used to belong to...

  13. AANP recert

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

    OP, I am certified through ANCC, not AANP. However, whenever I have a question like yours, I go straight to the source and email ANCC. They answer pretty quickly and then I have something in writing....

  14. omg I forgot to give report!

    AtomicWoman replied to kellicutshair's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a floor nurse, I had that nightmare, too! And as a faculty member, I sometimes have a nightmare that I have forgotten to teach a class for an entire semester! I guess that is a riff on the...

  15. New Jersey: Time to receive APN license?

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone have a clue how long it takes to get your APN license once you send all the materials in and ANCC verifies your certification and your school sends transcripts? I have a job already, and my new...

  16. What’s one of America’s most dangerous jobs? It’s not what you think

    AtomicWoman replied to Luckyyou's topic in Nursing News

    I am surprised there are no other comments on this story yet. Especially coming so soon after the story of the Utah nurse who was assaulted for protecting her patient from an illegal blood draw. I...

  17. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    AtomicWoman replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just read this story in the Washington Post and it horrified me. That nurse was doing exactly what we are all taught to do: protect the patient. She was exactly right and knew the law, unlike the...

  18. DNAP/MSNA and teaching

    AtomicWoman replied to Tacomaboy3's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Which DNAP programs accept students without a BSN? Just curious, because all the ones I am familiar with require a

  19. AANP National Conference 2017 Roll Call

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

    I would love to go, and even live close enough. But I can't afford $545 registration fee (and I'm an AANP member!) and my employer will not pay it. I can get plenty of free CEUs from the membership...

  20. Graduation to practice

    AtomicWoman replied to Nolagrace1202's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hopefully, your state BON is not like mine, with a v-e-r-y s-l-o-w process. In fact, when I was licensed 4 years ago, there was exactly ONE person at my state's BON who processed new NP applications....

  21. I'm a Man, Can I be Successful as An OB Nurse

    AtomicWoman replied to AlmostANurse321's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know a man who was a very successful OB/L&D nurse for many years and retired a few years ago. If that nursing specialty is what you want, you owe it to yourself to at least try to get a job in...

  22. Help with Renewal of CDS (NJ NPs)

    AtomicWoman replied to ry1201's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have the same situation. You need to get your paper license out and fill out the bottom part with your new address of record and mail it in. Fun!! It's very weird. I was able to change my address of...

  23. DEA Number in new state

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone know if my DEA number will change if I leave my practice in NJ and start practicing in in PA (or any move to a new state, for that matter)? Also, from my reading, it appears Pennsylvania...

  24. ANP vs. AGPCNP/AGNP Certification

    AtomicWoman replied to CCNP-FL's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It IS meaningless. Just because the words "primary care" appear in the certification does not mean it is going to pigeonhole you any more (or less) as a primary care provider than an ANP. I graduated...

  25. Pharmacology CEU/CME recommendations

    AtomicWoman replied to aprnKate's topic in Advanced Practice

    One of the best deals in CEs is to buy a membership in AANP ($125 for a practicing NP, less for students). After you pay for your membership, all of their CEs are free (not just pharm, either). You...
