  1. Comprehensive 100% Online FNP programs...

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

    Vanderbilt is definitely NOT 100% online! They offer some of their programs in a "block" format, meaning you are required to be onsite quite a bit. I know b/c I graduated from that program and spent...

  2. AHNP v. FNP

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

    I graduated from a dual ANP/GNP program and loved it. HOWEVER, I started working in urgent care and absolutely loved that too! Unfortunately, even though we rarely see kids at our clinics (there are...

  3. mental health certification for nurse practitioner

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

    I'm curious, you stated that you are working in a mental healthy facility as a FNP. Do you address the primary care needs of the

  4. mental health certification for nurse practitioner

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

    You're right, the clinical hours wouldn't be accepted in any of those

  5. Should I do NP or DNP in the near future?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The DNP program should ABSOLUTELY require more clinical hours! As far as I'm concerned they should require 500 clinical hours IN EACH FIELD! I completed more than 3X as many clinical hours as my...

  6. FNP but work in Geriatrics?

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

    What?? I couldn't sit for the GNP boards without completing a GNP program. I took all THREE board exams ANP, GNP and FNP. I had to complete each program in order to sit for the

  7. mental health certification for nurse practitioner

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

    This isn't true. I have a friend who is a FNP and she's currently attending the Psych/Mental Health NP program at UT-Arlington (TX) and she only had to take FOUR classes plus complete over 500...

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

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

    I graduated with a M.S. from a prestigious school and obtained my post-Master's certification from a state school. It has been my experience that physicians and (educated) patients tend to be very...

  9. NP salary negotiations

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

    Let me get this straight...you're a brand new NP? I have 5 years of experience and I only get $50 per hour WITH NO BENEFITS WHATSOEVER and I'm one of the higher paid NP's around. There is just NO...

  10. fired for refusing to practice out of my scope

    ANPFNPGNP replied to tonka3's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In some states, such as Texas, it is mandatory to report a health care provider who is practicing unethically or illegally. The way some nursing boards look at it, if you know about it and don't do...

  11. Emergency Nurse Practitioner programs?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to CraigBSN02's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I definitely needed more experience in ophthamology and ortho. I trained with internists and family practice doctors and they did not suture or perform many procedures. They were also very weak in...

  12. Emergency Room NPs?

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

    I'm pretty sure they cancelled that program. I graduated from their FNP program last May and we were told that a few of the ER graduates were having problems getting licensed in some states. Check...

  13. Good/bad idea for new grad FNP to specialize?

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

    Do NOT start off in a specialty as a new grad. You need to work a minimum of one year in primary care. Bite the bullet and take less money, you NEED a solid foundation in PCP before going into a...

  14. REALLY annoyed with AANP!

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

    Two YEARS? Why didn't you just take the

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

    Where do you

  16. REALLY annoyed with AANP!

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

    I submitted my FNP paperwork to them in May and I didn't hear a word from them, even though everyone in my class did! I called, e-mailed, sent faxes every single day! Finally, I got the clearance to...

  17. Vanderbilt NP Bridge program

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

    They don't provide anything, so you pay for hotel, food and transportation. You don't just stay for the weekend, you stay for the whole WEEK and that includes a weekend. You need to check with the...

  18. Vanderbilt NP Bridge program

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

    I was one of the few who actually worked during the program. I used to work two weekends per month and that's how I got the money to pay for all my travel expenses to and from Nashville. I don't...

  19. Vanderbilt NP Bridge program

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

    I graduated from their ANP/GNP program in August 2005. I found that I really liked working in an urgent care setting, but I needed to see patients of all ages, so I had to go back to school for the...

  20. FNP School Choices

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

    Tammy, I believe you gave this exact response in another post! Did you copy it off the internet? Why does it bother you so much that a lot of people want to attend the best schools they can afford?...

    Are you an Acute Care

  22. Family nurse practitioner salary in Memphis,TN

    ANPFNPGNP replied to marvinskbaby1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The NP making 250K in pain management had better be careful. He or she could find themselves without a license real quick! I worked in pain management right out of school, because the money was...

  23. DNP's failing the test????

    ANPFNPGNP replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I've always said that NP's need more clinical experience as a NP and NOT as a RN! The RN and NP roles are very different and RN experience is not a substitute for NP training. It's a joke that FNP...

  24. how comfortable would you be reporting staff (nurse/doctor) who seems intoxicated?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to I<3H2O's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I stumbled across this thread and I thought I should chime in about retaliation. I worked for a highly unethical doctor right out of NP school and I reported him to the Board of Medicine. I...

  25. CRNAs Looking Down on NPs

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

    The CRNA's I know pay around 10K per year for coverage, although they don't have to pay it, the hospital
