  1. Air Force requirements Advanced Nurses

    FNPdude74 replied to brughm's topic in Government, Military

    Don't give up. It took me 18 months to get in. Luckily I was in the process of getting the health professions scholarship during that wait time. In regards to experience they want a new grad NP who...

  2. Quick Tip for ANYONE considering nursing in the military

    FNPdude74 replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    I think you should be okay to be honest. They're trying to keep in ICU nurses which all services have a hard time doing. NPs are in a different ballgame and we are still having difficulty with long...

  3. FNP stay in active or go reserves AF?

    FNPdude74 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Well a little history... I am in nearly 4 years into my 5 year contract as an FNP since I took a HPSP scholarship and took a HP loan. Reason why I took the loan repayment is because they lost my...

  4. How did you know NP was for you?

    FNPdude74 replied to ArmaniX's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you want to get out of inpatient work and do outpatient work, FNP is for you. I love the hours and I get my weekends and holidays and I get to diagnose and treat

  7. working as an RN after NP?

    FNPdude74 replied to kahra's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would say get your experience as an RN if you are not yet in NP school. If possible, work and go to school as a NP student is another option. After you get at least 1 year of RN experience, you...

  8. Advanced Patho book?

    FNPdude74 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would like to know which book is good for my family nurse practitioner, advanced patho course that I'm taking this semester. I know it's sort of late to ask since I'm already 8 weeks into the...

  9. HPSP for NP

    FNPdude74 replied to jmharrold's topic in Government, Military

    Took me 1.5 years since they have a strong need for NPs in primary care. Now with the Force Shaping of the air force of 1,499 officers, about 232 nurses are being cut because they're overmanned with...

  10. HPSP for NP

    FNPdude74 replied to jmharrold's topic in Government, Military

    Pay as a 1LT was okay for a brand new NP with no RN experience. Pay and priviledges/responsibilities as a captain increased, but I'm much happier

  11. HPSP for NP

    FNPdude74 replied to jmharrold's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think anyone would pay a brand new NP with no RN/NP experience 75K starting. Not sure if you're going FNP route. RNs with at least 5 years experience, maybe, but thats even a maybe. Many...

  13. American Academy of Family Physicians thoughts on NPs

    FNPdude74 replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are seriously misinformed. I'm a FNP in active duty military air force. I am allowed to prescribe it all, but choose not to prescribe certain things due to need of a specialist consult. Even as a...

    I'm thinking about going to Medical School. I'm 26 yo male in active duty air force with 4 years left in my committment so i cant do anything yet except take prereqs. My biggest thing was dealing with...

  15. Family NP or Adult acute care NP

    FNPdude74 replied to KatGoodman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Relax for now. Watch the Oylympics. Think sports. No nursing. :)

  16. Assessment Question

    FNPdude74 replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would hate to say yes, you should, but then it could open up a can of worms totally unrelated to the visit. If you're using the patient centered medical home model then yeah you can go ahead and...

  17. APRNs should only be DNPs!

    FNPdude74 replied to Lovanurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I say enough with this battle and just join 'em! It's inevitable anyway. I'm gonna do it just to also tell my friends "hey you got a law doctorate, I also got a nursing doctorate! Hey wait a minute,...

  18. FNP in specialty practices

    FNPdude74 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello all, I'm a practicing FNP and was wondering after about 5 years of being an FNP in Family Practice in the USAF, would specialty practices in the civilian sector such as cardiology or any surgery...

  19. Army vs Air force nursing

    FNPdude74 replied to Courbsh17's topic in Government, Military

    Well not really as of right now since I got into the USAF already and my mind is brainwashed into the air force culture :) I've always been with air force in jrotc, ROTC, and now here I am. You can...

  20. Will I have to cut my hair at training? what about after when I'm at the hospital

    FNPdude74 replied to sabby17's topic in Government, Military

    hey i'm a dude and I do care about my hair cut. I had a True GI box cut with a sleeping mouse at the top of my head and hated it. The military DOES care about even clean professional cuts. Appearance...

  21. Army vs Air force nursing

    FNPdude74 replied to Courbsh17's topic in Government, Military

    Army is like jack of all trades. I'm air force active duty and never touched a gun yet until deployment

  22. Will I have to cut my hair at training? what about after when I'm at the hospital

    FNPdude74 replied to sabby17's topic in Government, Military

    You won't have to cut your hair super short. Just as long you can bun it to now allow it to touch shoulders. --->coming from an air force

  23. A proposal for the future of advance nursing practice

    FNPdude74 replied to hoosier guy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BCgradnurse, We WILL get that recognition. Well... That's my future vision anyway. :) BTW, I get uncomfortable now when new (not even done with residency yet) physicians at work described us as...

  24. Where did your desire to become CRNA start?

    FNPdude74 replied to jeskam's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I thought being a FNP was prestigious before I started the FNP program. Now I'm practicing as a FNP and it's not as prestigious as some may think at work, but it sounds prestigious when you tell...

  25. Got USAF HSPS, nervous about FNP role

    FNPdude74 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
