  1. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe the poster is referring to a

  2. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, I tried to be supportive and give you the benefit of the doubt, Fullglass. You're way past the point of being confident. Your're obnoxious and self aggrandizing. I don't care if you're male...

  3. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks a lot, Boston. I just snorted tea all over my

  4. Mom Passed

    BCgradnurse replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Hppy and sevensonnets- My condolences on your losses. I hope that you both find peace and comfort within yourselves, and from the love of family and

  5. Which exam should I take?

    BCgradnurse replied to nurse2berica's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Glad I took it when I

  6. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been following your posts throughout this thread, and as a fellow DE grad, I fully support your path and agree that you can be a successful primary care/clinic NP without RN experience. Some...

  7. Which exam should I take?

    BCgradnurse replied to nurse2berica's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We were advised to take ANCC as it was supposedly more universally accepted. To date, I have never seen a job posting specify a preference for one certification over another. There were no "choose...

  8. NP jobs that work 3days

    BCgradnurse replied to Guest1059175's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Most outpatient practices do not have 12 hour office hours. I've worked 4 9 hour shifts up until recently. Just switched to 5 8 hour shifts. Keep in mind if you decide to go the FNP route, that...

  10. Nursing Spirituality

    BCgradnurse replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think OP is making Jesus

  11. Nursing Spirituality

    BCgradnurse replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    How judgmental of a supposed Christian! I do hope that if you're seriously ill you don't waste time asking your caregivers if they are "philosphical zombies". They'll be too busy laughing to start...

  12. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really, really hope this was just poorly written on your part. Otherwise, this comment was rude and uncalled for, and does nothing to bolster your

  13. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Mike- The programs are somewhat different. The first year is generally an intensive RN program. Keep in mind that the basic sciences (biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology etc.) must be completed...

  14. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What about Yale, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Vanderbilt, Simmons, Boston College, etc? They all have direct entry programs that do not require RN experience. I think those are all pretty good

  15. Trouble for taking Doctors candy

    BCgradnurse replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently, the powers that be at that hospital have never heard that sharing is

  16. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And I am only reporting on my cohort's experiences. We've stayed in touch. True, I can only go by what they're reporting, but all were employed shortly after graduation, and continue to be employed...

  17. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We will agree to disagree. I see myself as a NP first, and a RN second, because NP is the role I am in everyday. I'm not being disrespectful to RNs. I just don't have any romanticized views of...

  18. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And you have never worked worked as a NP, so how can you judge whether RN experience is helpful, necessary, or whatever? You've never done the job, so you have no way to know what's helpful or not....

  19. NP program with low gpa

    BCgradnurse replied to SchoolRN2018's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Some of the for profit schools might accept that, but I feel you would be better served by taking a few graduate level courses (some schools will let you take 1 or 2 without matriculating), and prove...

  20. Doctors vs NP's?

    BCgradnurse replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that BostonFNP was being a little tongue in cheek here, based on the way you have presented yourself in this

  21. Doctors vs NP's?

    BCgradnurse replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    If I had a dollar for every time I've heard

  22. Doctors vs NP's?

    BCgradnurse replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    Benzos have their place, it's true. However, I feel just handing out benzos without dealing with underlying causes of the panic or anxiety is doing the patient a disservice. I can understand needing...

  23. Doctors vs NP's?

    BCgradnurse replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    We have become a society of instant gratification, and one that has no tolerance for discomfort. Add that to a mentality that you can and should sue if things don't turn out the way you like, and you...

  24. Holy pay cut shock!

    BCgradnurse replied to Scorchednurse's topic in School

    What a condescending and ignorant thing to say. I'm not a school nurse, but I know what they do and it's a hell of a lot more than you're implying. Chronically ill and medically fragile children do...

  25. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    BCgradnurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You bring up a legitimate point. That is practicing outside the scope of their certification. Are both employers and NPs that desperate that they would take a job they're not trained for or hire...
