    JDCitizen replied to love-d-OR's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

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

  3. Tell me again why I should choose FNP over ANP

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

    This may not explain why ANP over FNP but it does seem to go with the flow the thread has taken. Whatever you decide to do for the most part will have to be a personal decision. The laws and...

    JDCitizen replied to love-d-OR's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  5. PDA software

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

    I don't know how the free program works... I highly recommend you "play" with every part of the program.. With pro you pull up your diagnosis... Look under medications and there is a listing of...

    JDCitizen replied to MSNin2008's topic in Government, Military

  8. Officer rank

    JDCitizen replied to MSNin2008's topic in Government, Military

  9. Ivory tower: myth or fiction

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

  11. Service choices?

    JDCitizen posted a topic in Government, Military

  12. Hospital privileges... possible problems?

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

    I'll play devils advocate. Lets all step back: it could very well depend on the "not eligible for rehire" I am not asking for details... The hospital has two things on its mind protecting itself and...

  13. clinical question

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

  14. Bedside Nurse, APN Preferred!

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

    Wages: From the get-go there was about a $30,000 spread in the difference some of the NPs were making from my class. Demand is just part of the puzzle, negotiating skills can also be a factor. A...

  17. Navy Nursing and Ethics

    JDCitizen replied to R2ndof7's topic in Government, Military

    Good question.. Recruiter might be able to help some but I would lean more towards the chief nurse. If your are not already obligated the probably the best bet would be to ask and talk with a chief...

  18. confidence out of FNP program

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

    Well probably wished for more clinical / pharmacology time... When one is in school and clinicals there is that safety net where one can say I am a student and I have professors and preceptors to run...

  19. Day in your life - help a student decide :D

    JDCitizen replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

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

    Well have not used that exact line :chuckle :bow:but when I am talking with my patients I don't mince words ( especially to those who appear noncompliant with therapy).. Diabetics and HTN: I do...

  24. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    JDCitizen replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
