  2. DNP and further education

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

  3. Any NP interest in an EM residency?

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

    Well after seeing some of the H&Ps Iv seen over the years :-) I concur to practice medicine one needs to practice... Clinical hours should be measured in 1000s not 100s. By the way where is

  4. If you were in NP school again, what would you do different?

    JDCitizen replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ask for and do more

  5. DNP and further education

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

    I know the certificates are not degrees but they do let you sit for boards.... I just wonder how long it will be before the DNP programs adjust to folks like me that want more. If a DNP program is...

  6. Any NP interest in an EM residency?

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

    I did... It looks like those 18 months you could kiss all other life as you know it goodbye. But dang the experience/training would be superb. Now if the Army would do something like that for NPs. Why...

  7. ANPs & FNP's what do you think of this?

    JDCitizen replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hmmm I understand the adult NP part, let me rephrase. The range of coverage for FNPs is larger than APs: I am talking more than peds... What state laws and/or hospital rules may limit the ANP to...

  8. DNP and further education

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

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

  10. DNP and further education

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

    No problem. All the degree options MSNs have I am curious how that will work with the DNP

  11. ACNP Jobs -- are there enough out there?

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

    Good question? You may have to do your own research to find out though... Talk with your school to find out their recent hire data. Talk to the HR department at area hospitals. If possible find recent...

  12. DNP and further education

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

    I think we have confusion here.... I understand to get any degree you have to at least to the minimum levels of educational work for that degree... DNP is a general degree A DNP that wants to focus...

  13. DNP and further education

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

    MSN with focus of FNP is a degree. DNP will be a focus. A masters degree is a degree. But once a person has a masters degree he/she can go back to school into almost any masters program and get a post...

  14. ANPs & FNP's what do you think of this?

    JDCitizen replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also keep in mind state laws, hospital policies........ I would suggest FNP route than if necessary do a post masters. Depending on the school you may able to get clinicals in addition for acute care...

  15. Any NP interest in an EM residency?

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

  19. Endorsement in Georgia Board of Nursing

    JDCitizen replied to nurse_atl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know your time frame but it probably means you are in the system and they are checking on your information. I believe they are like most government agencies in GA and are struggling with...

  20. Tired of EMS thinking they can walk in!

    JDCitizen replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    Hmmm years ago (about 28) when I was an EMT the nurses hated us. We as part of the hospital staff had to help staff the ER when they were short. There was the fear we were there to take their jobs......

  21. My process in joining the Airforce

    JDCitizen replied to deletethisaccount's topic in Government, Military

  22. Question on FNP subspecialties

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