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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most programs are going to require a minimum of one year of RN experience, so you may not have a

  2. Having major concerns going the FNP route....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can't imagine any of the top tier schools not requiring the GRE/GMAT for entry. However, the majority of the "lesser" programs aren't requiring any sort of standardized test. Everyone is going to...

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

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

    I practice in Texas and it is not true that NP's can practice independently in rural areas. We are fighting for full independence at this time (it's currently before the legislature) and we're hoping...

  4. 41 Secrets Your Doctor Would Never Share

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

    I can add to this list. #42. If you're a "work in," then you are allowed ONE problem. If you have a laundry list of concerns, then you need to reschedule for a longer visit. #43. If any part of...

  5. Bedside Nurse, APN Preferred!

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

    I know NP's in the Nashville area who are working in "RN" positions, simply because they can't find a job as an APN. Obviously, the word has gotten out and now the hospitals are going to "prefer"...

  6. Combined NNP/PNP programs

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

    I can see where they wouldn't let e PNP work in an acute care setting, b/c aren't PNP's trained to work in the primary care setting only? Can a PNP work in the hospital? If so, then why are there...

  7. How many ER APNs do we have????

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

    i get paid $50/hr working at an urgent care clinic. a good friend who used to work with me there went to work in the er and she gets paid $65/hr and she only has to work 9 ten hour shifts per month...

  8. where to start in moving from Primary Care to specialty?

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

    Get a solid base in primary care and then branch out if you want. I did it the wrong way and went into a specialty right out of college, even though our instructors warned us to get a couple of years...

  9. Hospital NPs: What's your specialty?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. Nurse Bashing

    ANPFNPGNP replied to hippylady7211's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm certainly not seeing this amongst Advanced Practice Nurses. It may be because we are constantly getting bashed by PA's (your should check out "Physician Assistant Forum"), so we know we have to...

  13. Can NP work right after passing exam

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

    Hopefully you've heard something by now, but I can tell you that this is very common this year. I precept NP students and over one half of the new graduating class still haven't received their...

  14. ACNP info

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

    this is very interesting b/c i had no idea that acnp's ever worked in primary care. in my adult np training i precepted in internal medicine, which is primary care and i had to spend 90 hours in a...

  15. How did you overcome the "Imposter Syndrome"

    ANPFNPGNP replied to mom and nurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm curious, are you an Acute Care

  16. How did you overcome the "Imposter Syndrome"

    ANPFNPGNP replied to mom and nurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can see where this would be really difficult to overcome in a hospital setting. I work in urgent and primary care. At both clinics, the patients are almost always aware that they are going to see...

  17. Do you feel resentment when a pt. refuses to be seen by you?

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

    i had never encountered this problem before in urgent care, since they could either see me or no one at all, until i went to work for a group of docs who had been practicing for over 30 years....

  18. ACNP info

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

    As far as pay, there is a job currently available in South Texas for an Acute Care NP a.k.a hospitalist and the pay is 120K per year with no benefits. They have been trying to fill it for a year, so...

  19. Ever have problems with RN's?

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

    Those RN's should be FIRED! I'm amazed that you haven't already reported them to HR. The last thing you need is an employee making your job more difficult and causing you to lose focus. There were a...

  20. Can NP work right after passing exam

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

    actually, "provisional" approval lets you practice as a np-graduate for up to one year. the "interim" approval is only good for a 90 day

  21. Having major concerns going the FNP route....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I noticed that you work as a RN in the NICU. NNP's are very well paid in my neck of the woods. One of the local hospitals is advertising for NNP's and they are offering 105K to 125K (depending on...

  22. How to tell a drug rep to shut up?

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

    You are 100% right, never trust those drug reps and do your own research! Years ago, one of my bosses got sued because a patient ended up in liver failure after being prescribed a certain drug that...

  23. How to tell a drug rep to shut up?

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

    I've had my fair share of drug reps and they know to never interrupt me or give me their "hard sell." The main clinic I work at only allows 4 reps per day to come in and leave samples and get...

  24. Having major concerns going the FNP route....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Make sure you check with you state board, because not every state recognizes online programs. As of 2003, there were something like 7 states that wouldn't accept them. The schools aren't exactly...

  25. Psych NP vs. FNP

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

    The FNP is definitely more marketable, BUT Psych NP's make a lot more money if you can get a job in that area. Do you live in a large city? If so, you shouldn't have a problem getting a job. Check...
