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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I graduated from the Vandy program, however I had several years of nursing experience before I started it. I'll admit, I had never heard of a direct entry NP program until I went there. One of the...

  2. Psych NP salaries...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jnd1213's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are so lucky to be in Arizona. I have a friend who is a Psych NP and she's originally from Arizona, but she made the "mistake" of moving to Texas. She opened her own practice and soon found out...

  4. 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

    No, they do NOT count RN experience. What will count is how much money you bring into the practice no matter HOW much NP experience you

  5. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Since you didn't mention it in this post, do you agree that a PA with a certificate from a community college has less formal education as a RN with a BSN? I'm willing to bet money that you're in...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I COULDN'T AGREE

    ANPFNPGNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Please PM me with your true identity. I have friends at the large children's hospitals and I'll have them check on this b/c I don't believe you. Are you working at Texas Children's

  8. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    First off, I know PA's who just have a CERTIFICATE from a COMMUNITY COLLEGE. So, a nurse with a BSN has more education than a lot of PA's out there! Also, referring to a DNP degree as a "Master's...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    PICUNP - Are you really a NP or a PA?? I'm starting to have doubts about your

  10. Hiring NP in Texas Question

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

    One more thing, I'm doing a LOT more than a retail clinic. I suture, perform I&D's, treat DM, HTN and of course, minor illnesses. There are so many people who use UC as their primary care...I'm...

  11. Hiring NP in Texas Question

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

    I had originally planned on having over 100K for start up, but since my daughter wasn't allowed to co-own the business, I'm starting with 50K (she was an investor). The renovations, credentialing,...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    NP's and PA's can't be grouped together, because we're separate professions. We (NP's) consider ourselves independently licensed practitioners and not under the supervision of another profession....

  13. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    We're really trying to get away from the word "midlevel." For some reason, people started grouping PA's and NP's together, but we're an entirely separate entity. We're not a "mid" anything, we're...

  14. Hiring NP in Texas Question

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

    The Texas Board of Medicine does not NOT control the creation of businesses in Texas, the Secretary of State does. It is ILLEGAL for physicians to form corporations in this state, they can only form...

  15. Nurse Practitioner and Image Interpretation

    ANPFNPGNP replied to cbott1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I interpret x-rays at an urgent care clinic and everything is sent for radiology review the next day. I can tell you this, be very careful about reading chest x-rays, I still have problems reading...

  16. Coumadin, yes or no?

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

    I worked in mental health for years as a RN and I saw many people who should have been in jail instead of getting "3 hots and a cot" in a psych/detox facility. So many of "those people" had nothing...

  18. Hiring NP in Texas Question

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

    Definitely contact an attorney who has experience in setting up businesses. There are very strict rules/guidelines concerning the ownership of medical clinics in this state - these questions can be...

  19. Hiring NP in Texas Question

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

    I live in Texas and I hired an attorney to set up a business (PLLC) for me a few weeks ago. You mentioned that you know of some PA owned clinics in Texas...this is ILLEGAL! My attorney contacted the...

  20. Coumadin, yes or no?

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

  22. Job Offer-What do you think?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This seems like really low pay for home visits, especially if they're not providing insurance or paying mileage. Only 60% of collections - WOW that's

  23. What if an ANP wants to add FNP or MHNP certification?

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

    I will say this, experience doesn't equal expertise, that's for sure. I know a direct entry NP who had a business degree before getting into a NP program and she is a far better practitioner than...

  24. Grandfather clause for DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to forpath's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I guess I don't understand who makes this mandatory. Is it the American Nurse's Association or the individual states? I know that a NP must have a minimum of a MSN before becoming licensed to...

  25. What if an ANP wants to add FNP or MHNP certification?

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

    I was an ANP/GNP and went back for a post-graduate certification as a FNP. My advice to anyone planning on NP school is to do the FNP the FIRST time around. Trust me, it will save you time, money and...
