  1. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you... and you did get that point across. I was just saying that I don't need help with it... plus, a friend of mine used the software and the instructor still took off. Very

  2. How many years does it take?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to 12breakfree's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    hi there, i'm in an acnp program... i am married, make too much money for "free money," and use a loan because of it. i am doing my program in 18 months... which is very quick. i chose to do it like...

  3. Moral Issue Question...

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to Thepreacherswife's topic in General Nursing

    the other thing to remember, and you will learn this in nursing school... if there is something you are in conflict with, morally, then you have the ability to ask another nurse (or your charge nurse)...

  4. Now what??

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    hey there! i'm in texas, too! i have the best bit of advice for ya... and sounded like you when i finished my adn program in 2003. texas tech has a wonderful rn-bsn program. i recommend it to...

  5. ER NP's

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to lalaxton's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    hey there, just wanted to put in my two cents. at the hospital i work in, the pas use the same t-sheets as the mds. there's no difference in their charting, except for the fact that if the pa sees the...

  6. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, I think you may have missed the point... I did the APA correctly, as I have done for the last 5 years. The student INSTRUCTOR was the one that was wrong about it... and yea, she should probably...

  7. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Angie, The one positive thing is that there are NO more papers in my career of NP school. :) I do have one paper in the summer, but its for a class that she wouldn't have anything to do with. Knowing...

  8. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey cg, You are EXACTLY right and that is EXACTLY what this instructor has done. She has made herself out to be not only a complete idiot, but a total biotch. I'm just ready to be done with this...

  9. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks David, And you're right... in the end, no one will really ever know how I do in the program... they'll just know that I am an NP, which is what matters the most. Like I said earlier, its not...

  10. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But what's so bad... its been done. That's the biggest part of the problem... she has the "power of the pen" and that's what has been my dilemma. She's obviously taken my questioning personally and...

  11. Average amt of exp before NP

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to ltvixen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    *LOL* "time to forget everything I don't enjoy about school..." How funny is that?! You will miss it, if you have the drive for the MSN... I promise. For me, it was about a semester... and then I just...

  12. ER NP's

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to lalaxton's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In our ED, we have been using the T-system as well. It is VERY simplistic... and it also works for the nurses. Both the nurses and the providers have their own t-sheet for a certain complaint, i.e....

  13. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey cg, I have been through this stage of anger as well... and thought the same thing: that they have too much influence on my performance right now that I can't risk going any further with this...

  14. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    hey prairie, i've already determined that this will go on her evaluation next week. what really sucks is that her mistakes may cost me an a in the course, depending on how i do on the test next...

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey Webster... well, I ended up getting a reply yesterday and she went back and made comments on every statement that I noted (the things that I thought she marked inappropriately on my paper, with...

  16. Average amt of exp before NP

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to ltvixen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was an ADN RN for a little over 2 yrs before doing an online RN-BSN program, finished that by the time I had been a nurse 3 years and the immediately started my MSN-NP program. Let me tell you what...

  17. Need Help Please!!!

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to 1sttimetraveler's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i would say that you need to not stress over this. it's important... don't get me wrong, but if you let your stress overwhelm you, you will make it more difficult that its meant to be. the way i...

  18. Work, classes and clinicals? How to do it all....

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    hey there! i realize this is a bit after the fact, but thought i would throw in my two cents. i am in an acnp program and in december, it will have taken me 18 months to complete. i have been going...

  19. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    *lol* Well, I do appreciate your soap box... and I think you're right about a lot of things. And its funny, this particular instructor was just "dismissed" or something from her part-time clinical...

  20. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're right pinoyNP... and I realized that after the fact. My instructor doesn't really directly impact my clinical evaluation; it is based on my preceptor. I just had this sinking feeling that she...

  21. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, fortunately... but also unfortunately in this scenario, I did have a great deal of APA-focus in my BSN program. I suppose that's because it was an RN-BSN program and it was nearly 100%...

  22. Planning Clinical Experiences: ACNPs

    DaisyRN, ACNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey there! I'm in an ACNP program and beginning to think about where I want to do my "specialty" rotations in the fall. First semester is internal medicine office (which I am finishing up now), summer...

  23. Planning Clinical Experiences: ACNPs

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That does make a difference... and that is part of the reason I chose a NON-teaching hospital for my summer clinicals. I didn't want to compete with residents/interns. I am 100% comfy with urgent...

  24. Help! Did I screw myself?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Exactly... the whole emphasis on APA format is a JOKE. Like you said, we aren't in school to be English professors... we are there to learn how to be a nurse practitioner. And my arms are in the...

  25. Planning Clinical Experiences: ACNPs

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good idea with the vent management... I come from an ER background, and due to our wonderfully attentive RT dept, I dont have a lot of vent experience. Ive gotten a lot of diabetic education with my...
