  1. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    greygooseuria replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do think my RN experience has helped me in being an NP, but I don't think it's been necessary. That being said, if as an RN you are blindly following orders, you are not practicing nursing. A nurse...

  2. Doctorate in a field other than nursing?

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am torn about in what direction to further my academic knowledge. I am currently an FNP and work in primary care (just graduated in May). Going for a doctorate has been my plan all along, but DNP...

  3. New NP licensing questions

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a couple licensing questions that I need help with (traumaRN may be able to help with the IL questions). First, how do I go about getting an NPI number? Do I have to first pass boards and have...

  4. Am I Missing Something?

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I graduated as an FNP in May and started my job at the beginning of June. I really, really enjoy my job. I have amazing medical assistants and secretaries to work with, and a GREAT PA with lots of...

  5. Am I Missing Something?

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

    The things I've caught haven't been hidden things; they're obvious lab results that were received and not followed up on, unfortunately. I haven't discovered anything that took extensive research;...

  6. Doctorate in a field other than nursing?

    greygooseuria replied to greygooseuria's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I want to still be a clinician, but also dabble in academia and do my own research, teach and publish. I'd like it to give me more scientific knowledge and be useful

  7. BSN-DNP, no experience

    greygooseuria replied to acarlow's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I took it in my NP program because my school offered it as an elective. It was called "Sports Medicine Evaluation and Treatment for the Primary Care Professional". The book that we used is on Amazon...

  8. Bye Bye Floor Nursing

    greygooseuria replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm now an NP, but I quit my hospital job in January and my rehab job at the end of May. SO glad I did! I feel so much more free now. That being said, I kinda do want to get a per diem job as an RN...

  9. Any NPs here who are Surgical Nurses as well ??

    greygooseuria replied to Devon Rex's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Devon, it depends on the hospital, but NPs I went to school with (from an FNP program) got jobs as new grads in uro surg and neuro surg. One had been an OR nurse for years, the other an Card/ICU nurse...

  10. They laid off a lot of nurses now they want us back.

    greygooseuria replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Yeah, except if the company is laying off because it lacks funds, training for a new position does nothing to remedy it BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION WILL STILL LACK

  11. MDs dont own the physician title

    greygooseuria replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I introduce myself as a nurse practitioner to every patient I encounter. Number of patients that have called me nurse practitioner: 0 Number of patients that have called me doctor: all of them They...

  12. BSN-DNP, no experience

    greygooseuria replied to acarlow's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I had 1 year of RN experience before starting my FNP program and had 4 by the time I graduated. I worked throughout the whole program. As an FNP, I do find the intuition and assessment skills I...

  13. The Florida job market cannot be this bad?!

    greygooseuria replied to reddgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are you able to relocate? I had 3 job offers before I graduated and 4-5 other places interested in me (and 1 near where I lived) because I was able to move anywhere for a job. If you are able to, I...

  14. They laid off a lot of nurses now they want us back.

    greygooseuria replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Unions CANNOT stop layoffs, so that is a moot point. My mom has been in a union in every job she's ever had, and has been laid off 5 times in her life so far (was going to go on 6 this month but was...

  15. They laid off a lot of nurses now they want us back.

    greygooseuria replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    It's "If I were" so you were right :) (it's the English subjunctive so it is conjugated

  16. Family AANP certification exam role call!

    greygooseuria replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I graduate tomorrow but took my boards May 1 (since my program had finished April 30). Yeah, I was way on the ball with getting my registration, haha. I passed it and I used Fitzgerald and APEA audio...

  17. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    greygooseuria replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe it should go both ways with oversight. I will be graduating in a few weeks from my NP program. My S.O. was seen by an MD who based off a CBC decided he was iron deficient and should take iron...

  18. DM II Med question....

    greygooseuria replied to TennesseeNP123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How long did she try the max metformin? The diarrhea typically goes away by 2 weeks. That could be an option if she didn't give it a long try. Otherwise, I'd add Lantus honestly. Start at 10 units at...

  19. Need new grad advice

    greygooseuria replied to bwrightnurse123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've started applying already and have had two job interviews so far, with a third on the way, and I graduate in May. None have been local. I'd say it's a perfect time to start

  20. Am I Crazy? Revaming the RN/NP school curriculum...

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This summer, I am taking Bio I and II together along with calculus, both for personal enrichment and because I plan to get a science PhD after my MSN or go on to med school once I have my loans paid...

  21. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    greygooseuria posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    So, a question has arisen in my mind since I have been in CNA class waiting for nursing school to start. There are only 2 guys in my class of 25, and the other guy is married and I'm gay. After doing...

  22. Am I Crazy? Revaming the RN/NP school curriculum...

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

    I agree with you there. I personally found nursing school to be very very easy...but maybe that's because I can learn things once and have it memorized. I also find nursing practice to not be terribly...

  23. Am I Crazy? Revaming the RN/NP school curriculum...

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

    Maybe in outpatient med offices, but in a hospital? I think the ANA is a powerful enough lobby to stop that. Plus, I doubt the American public would want someone with a certificate giving them IV...

  24. Am I Crazy? Revaming the RN/NP school curriculum...

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

    elkpark, I agree to an extent but I think market economics would eventually take over. For example, with all that coursework being required nationally (rather than by different schools), it'd...

  25. Am I Crazy? Revaming the RN/NP school curriculum...

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

    I agree. Physics is useful for knowing pharmacokinetics/dynamics though, and physics explains the natural universe and why atoms behave as they do. Nursing as a whole seems to want to ignore the fact...
