  6. Is this realistic?

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

    If you live in a large city, then you could always work PRN at an urgent care clinic. Are there any walk-in clinics in your area? They usually pay anywhere from $45-$55 per hour. You really can't...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Vanfnp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

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

    Do you live in the Austin area? I've heard there's an overabundance of FNP's there. However, I have friends who are seasoned RN's living there and they certainly aren't coming close to what you're...

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

  15. NP working as RN

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

  16. Associates or Bachelors?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to mickjordmoll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It doesn't matter what the educational requirements are, a PA only has to pass a certification test to practice. RN's can't do half of what a PA does, so there's no comparison. I don't know of any...

  17. Vandy's Full Scholarship Program

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

    I guess they are assuming that there will be a need for PNP's. You're right, PNP's are very limited and if they want to go back to get their FNP certification, then it will be like starting school...

  19. NP Salaries Realistically and grades!

    ANPFNPGNP replied to ncaru01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's all about supply and demand and reimbursement. Usually FNP's are a dime a dozen, so they're going to get the lowest wages. If you're a specialist, such as an Acute Care NP, Neonatal NP or CRNA,...

  21. career opportunities in my area

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

    Yes, the FNP covers OB/GYN. I was a ANP/GNP and went back for the FNP and all I had to take was the Child/Maternal class. We didn't cover children under 12 nor OB in the Adult NP program. So, yes...

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

    When I went to Vandy, there were only 2 people who received full scholarships and this was in all of their NP programs combined. I don't know anything about the PNP or NNP option. I do know that you...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to mickjordmoll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
