    ivanh3 replied to shawnnarae's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ACNP vs FNP

    ivanh3 replied to dgclough's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work with FNPs who work in the ICUs. All of them had ICU backgrounds as RNs, and they are all really sharp practitioners. I would go with what has more jobs in the geographic area you are in now....

    discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    ivanh3 replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, lots of great comments. Much to think about. Just a few of mine. In terms of the OP, I think there is a significant amount of difference. It staggers the mind that some here want to ignore that....

    ivanh3 replied to caitiecait's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The school is rather historic as others have pointed out. I applied there for their first class of ADN-MSN tract students, and I really liked my interactions with school. I chose another school in the...

    ivanh3 replied to carrie42's topic in Indiana State University

    I had to set up all my own clinical sites, both undergrad and grad. Once I found the sites, the school and the site liaison hammered out the actual paperwork, but I did all the door knocking and...

    Pocket PC, Palm, Blackberry, (which to purchase?)

    ivanh3 replied to ccuRNinTN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So far so good. I really like this phone (original iPhone). I paid $125 for it. Unlocked it without a hitch and use it on TMobile (which I love). No 3G or visual voice mail, but not necessary at this...

    Pocket PC, Palm, Blackberry, (which to purchase?)

    ivanh3 replied to ccuRNinTN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are plenty of good Win Mo phones that work, but not all do in terms of what medical software works. Some of the medical apps like the Sanford guide doesn't work on all win mo phones due to...

    ivanh3 replied to dc_frank's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Huh, I am in Atlanta. In fact I did one of my FNP rotations in the ER at Emory Crawford Long. Small world. If I am not mistaken the Emory ER NP adds a 3 credit hour class. I am not sure how many extra...

    Flunked the CPNE - some thoughts

    ivanh3 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My grid/paperwork stayed in my back pocket folded long ways in half. I never laid it down on any surface other than my hand. I don't think it detracts from the patient's perception of you, but I can...

    Just curious, how do they show up on the academic record of the school you currently attend? As EC courses or your current program's equivalent

    Flunked the CPNE - some thoughts

    ivanh3 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    First of all, thanks about the notes. Your appreciation means a lot. When I hear of people failing the CPNE I have such mixed emotions about it. You are right when you allude to the uber-ivory-tower...

    NP or CRNA? HELP!!!

    ivanh3 replied to Nanita's topic in First Year After Licensure

    DNP and further education

    ivanh3 replied to JDCitizen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    those are all great, but it sounds like in that case the dnp is just being used to address what should have been covered by the msn programs in the first place. frankly, i am against all of the time...
