  1. Don't Hate Me, All....

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

    It makes a big difference. I have a PA friend who lost her contract with a huge IM group b/c she couldn't bill Medicare directly, as the NP's are able to do (they were all seeing the nursing home...

  2. Do most NPs start working after licensure?

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

    You won't be able to get malpractice coverage until you are board certified as a NP. I would be amazed if you were able to get credentialed as a physician extender (that would be a PA or NP) until...

  3. Do most NPs start working after licensure?

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

    I graduated from school almost 5 years ago and I took the ANCC ANP exam within ONE MONTH of graduation. When I went back and took the FNP through the AANP a few years later, it took almost FOUR...

  4. HELP!! GNP ANCC boards offer no review material

    ANPFNPGNP replied to ogs4522's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I took the ANCC GNP exam about 4 years ago. I had some type of study guide, but I can't locate it. Go to Amazon.com and type in Geriatric NP exam - there is a study guide for the exam and it's called...

  5. Need post masters PNP online????

    ANPFNPGNP replied to shannons1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Try the University of Texas at Arlington - I believe they have a PNP and also an ACPNP

  6. Don't Hate Me, All....

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

    What do you mean, NP/DNP training in 2-3 years?? It took me 6 years of college to get a Master's degree and if I wanted to get my DNP, it would take AT LEAST 2 years of fulltime training to get it....

  7. Don't Hate Me, All....

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

    Why are you even questioning this? Is it because you will ALWAYS have to be supervised by a physician and you will NEVER be able to practice independently? Are you jealous? It's just a matter of...

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As long as you're working fulltime, you'll have no problem reaching the 1,000 hour mark. Plus, retaking the exam isn't that bad - this isn't exactly rocket

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You're right, RN experience doesn't count towards NP recertification hours. A NP must work a certain amount of hours IN THEIR SPECIALTY to recertify. I know someone who was audited recently when she...

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Let me get this straight, you are a brand new RN grad with no experience in nursing and you're going to teach nursing skills to students? I'm totally lost on that

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A midlevel is either a PA, NP or CNS. I suppose a CRNA is also a

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Speak for your neck of the woods, NP's are overly abundant in many areas of the country and can't find

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are several places where NP's can't find employment b/c of oversupply. In my area, there is a 100% online program that is dumping NP's on the market like crazy. None of the new grads (from...

  14. mental health certification for nurse practitioner

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

    I would proceed cautiously and get something IN WRITING from my malpractice insurance carrier concerning all of this. When s--- hits the fan and you file a claim, there's a very good chance they'll...

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will have to admit, I've seen plenty of direct entry graduates PERFORM BETTER as a NP than the ones with 20 plus years of RN experience. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR DAD ON THIS ONE! My role as a NP...

  16. mental health certification for nurse practitioner

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

    In the state of Texas, FNP's are NOT legally allowed to diagnose and treat psychiatric illnesses nor can we manage psych meds. We can treat situational anxiety and acute depression only. We can't...

  17. Does NP school "reputation/name" matter?

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

    ANP, I have a question. I have a friend (we both graduated from Vandy) and she's in the military. She said they don't recognize ANP's, so she had to go back to school and get her FNP. Did they change...

  18. Does NP school "reputation/name" matter?

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

    5 years ago, the blocks were over every semester. The block during the summer semester wasn't mandatory, but the rest were. Things have probably changed, so you need to contact them. Also, the FNP...

  19. Comprehensive 100% Online FNP programs...

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

    Obviously, it would be impossible to learn procedures and do clinicals online. Therefore, you learn from live preceptors on real

  20. Does NP school "reputation/name" matter?

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

    I lived at a distance. I was already a nurse, so I was allowed to do this. When I attended Vanderbilt, "direct entry" nurses had to live in Nashville. I don't know if that is still the case though....

  21. Does NP school "reputation/name" matter?

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

    I had to set up my own preceptors and then they were approved by the school. I also had to get credentialed at a nursing home and hospital - that can take some time. If you're going to become an...

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

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

    What do you mean by "I had to submit a formulary from the MD"? I don't understand this, New Mexico doesn't require MD involvement to

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

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

    I am SO jealous! I grew up in New Mexico and my family is still there, but I live in MD dominant TEXAS! NP's didn't score ONE POINT during the legislative session this year, if anything, our...

  24. AHNP v. FNP

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

    Very interesting. I can assure you there is all kinds of fraud issues in the healthcare system today. In fact, just the other day I ordered a Xopenex nebulizer treatment on a patient and I noticed the...

  25. FNP but work in Geriatrics?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Inspire1983's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did a dual ANP/GNP program at Vanderbilt and I sat for the ANCC board exams for both certifications. I had to obtain extra clinical hours in order to complete the program. I went back to school...
