    NZ RN looking to work in the US

    ghillbert replied to KiwiNurse.'s topic in International Nursing

    Pacemaker vs AICD, why the delay?

    ghillbert replied to qaqueen's topic in Cardiac

    It depends what patients you are talking about? What is the indication for PPM/ICD? We frequently place PPM/ICDs less than 3 months after cardiac surgery, so you'd have to be more specific about the...

    Foreign BSN Undergraduate Seeking A Career In Advanced Practice Nursing

    ghillbert replied to KurtRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did my bachelors degree in nursing outside the US and completed MSN in the US and became ACNP. There is not much to say - your questions seem to be more general about admission requirements, which...

    ghillbert replied to lovemenursing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Reputation of NPs

    ghillbert replied to Nolagrace1202's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I work as an ACNP in transplant at a hospital. I work 4 x 10hr shifts. It's exempt/salaried and not hourly, but for the most part we work 7-5 and then leave. Today was quiet so I left at 4:15pm....

    FNP or AGNP or AGACNP
