  1. Why become a NP

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

    Most pediatric programs cover ages birth to 21 years of age. My adult program covered ages 12 and up and the gero covered 55 and

  2. FNP Boards soon HELP!!!!

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

    I'm curious as to why so many schools recommend the ANCC exam. Both schools I attended recommended it and I've taken both. I just remember walking away from the ANCC exams thinking...what??? The...

  3. FNP Boards soon HELP!!!!

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

    I agree

  4. ANCC and AANP

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

    Did you actually have to send the ANCC the logs of your patient encounters? The program I was referring to has all the required classes in their FNP program, but the students aren't required to spend...

  5. Any NPs Administering Propofol?

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

    The difference is that a RN follows orders and a NP gives them, just like a doctor. You can't even begin to compare our scope of practice or the liability associated with it. A NP may be a RN, but a...

  6. CNS vs NP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to NICUplease's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Do you have a NPI number? Can you bill for your services? Can CNS's open their own clinics? I've never understood the difference between the two, especially since both can prescribe drugs. I just...

  7. ANCC and AANP

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

    This will be the downfall of our

  8. Long time experience RN w/new NP license ready for NP role-enough financial benefit

    ANPFNPGNP replied to hello101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In primary care I average 25-30 pts in an 8 hour day. In urgent care I average around 50 - 60 pts in a 12 hr day. I'm making $50/hr in primary care and I just got a raise to $60/hr in urgent care....

  9. Does what school you go for your FNP matter?

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

    I graduated from Vanderbilt with my MS degree and received a post-Master's certification at UTHSC-Houston. Both NP programs are ranked in the top 20, but none of the docs have ever mentioned my UT...

  11. ANCC and AANP

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

    A FNP admitted to me that she spent the majority of her clinical hours with a neurologist who only saw adults. She never precepted in OB or pedes. Her online program permitted this and they also...

  12. The future of NP (practice / privileges) ??

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

    Except, I wouldn't be able to see OB patients, since the ANP certification doesn't cover that. I suppose I could also get the WHNP cert too, but then I still wouldn't be golden b/c I still couldn't...

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

    I live in

  14. Does what school you go for your FNP matter?

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

    I'm not passively doing anything. I'm stating my answer to the question. I'm surprised that the vast majority of the general public (certainly the people I know) strive to get their children into...

  15. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

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

    I used to work in pain management in TX, where we can write III-V's. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people in PM are on Schedule II's and it was a major hassle tracking down the doctor to get...

  16. Does what school you go for your FNP matter?

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

    I had breakfast with 5 doctors this morning and we discussed this very issue. I posed the question, "If you were going to hire a NP and everything was equal, except one of the NP's graduated from...

  17. The future of NP (practice / privileges) ??

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

    I agree, this sounds like a good plan. It seems that the "powers that be" in nursing just can't ever seem to get it right. Case in point, I was already licensed as an ANP and GNP, but needed to get...

  18. Why become a NP

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

    You can become a Gerontological Nurse Practitioner and you won't have to do clinicals with children, younger adults or OB. Both the ANCC and AANP certify GNP's. Interesting that you feel that kids...

  19. ANCC and AANP

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

    That happened to someone I knew last year. It was the Tx Board of Nursing who audited their clinical hours/sites and that person had already passed their exam! We were told to keep a copy or disk of...

  20. Kentucky NP'S?

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

    It appears that the NP's posted their comments in 2005, so you may not get a response. I wish I could contact them b/c I also graduated from Vanderbilt's ANP/GNP program in August '05. You can...

  21. Why become a NP

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

    Adult NP, Family NP and Geriatric NP. I work in urgent care and Family/Internal

  22. Does what school you go for your FNP matter?

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

    Education is not equal. If you have a choice, would you rather attend an Ivy League school or a state school? Yale over Univ of OK...hmmm. Every profession discriminates and the healthcare field...

  23. Does what school you go for your FNP matter?

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

    Let's put it this way, if you needed brain surgery and you had 2 surgeons to pick from and they were both equally experienced, would you rather have the neurosurgeon who was educated at Harvard or XYZ...

  24. The future of NP (practice / privileges) ??

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

    I can't see using the BSN as the foundation b/c there is such a difference between the RN & NP roles. I would like to see all NP's educated as "generalists" and then if needed, they can obtain a...

  25. NP salary negotiations

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

    I'm just wondering how a FNP can get a job in a hospital! Is this allowed by the BON in
