  1. What is required of you as far as testing goes in order to get your masters?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to arnp2b09's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is absolute BS! I know that a lot of schools have students take practice certification exams on the computer, but nothing like that stupid test! You need to be studying the REAL stuff that...

  2. new FNP, already burning out

    ANPFNPGNP replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is scary. That FNP owner has no business seeing complicated patients in an urgent care setting. I see very complicated patients like that, but there are doctors around! When I work in urgent...

  3. Ok, so I'm soon an FNP... what about a DNP in acute care?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to yellow finch's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I wanted to work as a first assist, but was very disappointed that TX won't allow me to do it unless I get certified as a first assist...no easy feat! I wonder if NP's can bill as a first assist,...

  4. Women's Health Nurse Practitioner

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Snappz11's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've heard that some WHNP programs are now covering primary care for women and not just the OB/GYN part.

  5. Perception of CNM's?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to CNM2B's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I trained with a CNM during my OB rotation for FNP. She was AWESOME! A lot of people assume that only poor, uneducated women have CNM's deliver their babies. This couldn't be further from the...

  6. Applications and Credentialing

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jeepgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank goodness you have someone taking care of all that for you! I was fortunate enough to go to work for a doctor right out of school and his office manager took care of all that. I didn't realize...

  7. NP's Malpractice insurance....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Maverick80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    David - I've got a question. I know a NP who practices as an independent contractor in the nursing home setting. She got together with several docs and had them sign a contract stating that she...

  10. Vandy NP Midwife Program

    ANPFNPGNP replied to kmcsis's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I graduated from Vandy in 2005. You can e-mail me and I can give you the low down on the

  11. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You obviously aren't an advanced nurse practitioner. People can call it what they want, but we make MEDICAL diagnoses and not nursing diagnoses. NP's have more in common with medicine than they do...

  12. NP's Malpractice insurance....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Maverick80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    unfortunately, i'm not covered under a blanket policy. i'm an independent contractor and i don't have a choice but to carry insurance. all the docs i contract with demand that i have my own...

  13. NPs in California

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Kensington's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been diagnosing and providing comprehensive healthcare for a few years

  14. Applications and Credentialing

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jeepgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Usually the credentialing process is a long one. I remember that I was able to get credentialed at one facility in a month, but only because I worked for one of the docs who sat on the Board of...

  15. Online BSN to FNP Programs

    ANPFNPGNP replied to revolution's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What if another student from your online program had a pediatrician friend taking those pedes tests for him/her? I have a real problem with students being able to take tests without being supervised....

  16. Online BSN to FNP Programs

    ANPFNPGNP replied to revolution's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We treat asthmatics with ACEI's all the time. It's just that it's difficult to distinguish between the cough caused by ACEI's and the cough caused by asthma. There have been RARE reports of...

  17. Neo-Natal Nurse Practioner Question

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The median price of a house around here is 125K, so 120K per year goes a very long way. You need to go to an area where there are no NNP programs around and there are plenty of places like

  18. Neo-Natal Nurse Practioner Question

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  19. NP if you have NO BACHELORS at all?!?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to FutureKYRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a little confused here. How can a person with an ADN get a MSN in one year? That just doesn't make sense. Please tell me where such a program

  20. Online BSN to FNP Programs

    ANPFNPGNP replied to revolution's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Personally, I don't think that any NP program that's 100% online is a good thing. I think it cheapens the education and we all suffer as a result. I'm very familiar with students who graduate from...

  21. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i couldn't agree more. fnp's programs should require a minimum of 2,000 clinical hours. even then, they should be required to work a couple of years in primary care under the supervision of a...

  22. Would home health care be a bad decision

    ANPFNPGNP replied to neeniebean's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm curious to know how much you made for each visit as a NP in home health. A doctor offered me $25 per visit plus gas and I refused because it just didn't sound right. Well, a LVN I know gets $35...

  23. Research position good for new grad?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Speaking from experience, it's best to work for 1-2 years under the supervision of a doctor in primary care. That will give you a good foundation. I made the mistake of specializing in urgent care...

  24. Applying to NP school in Canada

    ANPFNPGNP replied to erinn429's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are Canadian NP programs accepted in the

  25. NP's Malpractice insurance....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Maverick80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The doc paid for my malpractice insurance at my first job. He thought that $800/month was a bargain. He almost fainted when I told him it was $800 A YEAR! Unfortunately, my insurance more than...
