  1. Psych NP salaries...

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

    Psych NP's usually make quite a bit more money IF you can actually find a job in that field. There are some psychiatrists in my town (pop >300,000) and they use NP's/PA's to refill medications...in...

  2. Private Nursing Schools Protest New 5 YEAR BSN Requirement

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

    I have a Master's degree in nursing and I precept nursing/nurse practitioner students, so I'm well aware of the length of time it takes for ADN's to finish their program. Unless someone is going to...

  3. NPs/PAs: How do you split overhead costs with MD?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    you are definitely getting the short end of the stick. since the doctors own the practice, they set it up this way so they won't have to pay you a productivity bonus. how motivating is that?? i...

  4. Opinions on Florida NP programs?

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

    Vanderbilt University in Nashville has a dual ANP/GNP program. You can read all the information on their

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

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

    Unless something has changed within the past 5 minutes, the ANCC and the AANP are the only entities that certifiy FNP's in the

  6. Vanderbilt NP program..help!

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

    You will be surprised at how many doctors/employers will be impressed with the Vanderbilt name on your diploma. This will help you in finding a job...you won't be one of the thousands who graduated...

  7. NPs, what do you think of jobs that say "RN/ARNP"

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

    Obviously, they are going to expect you to do all the RN work along with the NP work. I guess it just depends on how you feel about this. I've done my own injections, wound care, etc. before and I...

  8. ANP to FNP

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

    I was a ANP/GNP (ANCC) and went on to become certified as a FNP (I took the AANP). I'm here to tell you that there are no shortcuts whatsoever. After you finish your program, you have to apply to...

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

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

    You are absolutely right, the FNP clinicals need to be done in the various specialties, peds, IM, urgent care, OB/GYN, etc. It just blows me away that these standards aren't already mandated by the...

  10. Vanderbilt NP program..help!

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

    I graduated with a MS from Vanderbilt and a post-Master's from UT-Houston. Yes, the cost of Vanderbilt was incredibly expensive, not to mention the other expenses associated with it, i.e. hotel,...

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

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

  12. Clinical experience before FNP

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jennysong81's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't agree with your instructor. I had several years of med/surg experience and I don't think it really helped prepare me for practicing in primary care. However, if you're planning on working in...

  13. NPs more likely to be laid off than RNs?

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

    It's not just NP's/PA's who are under scrutiny, it's doctors as well. I trained at a large clinic that employed 8 family docs and 6 IM docs. That clinic is notorious for running off doctors who are...

  14. Vanderbilt NP program..help!

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

    I've taken 3 of the board exams (ANP,GNP, FNP) and passed every one (scored in the 790's out of 800 on the FNP/AANP). Anyone who can't pass the boards has NO business practicing as a NP...absolutely...

  15. ANCC or AANP Certification

    ANPFNPGNP replied to whatgives13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm certified with both the ANCC (GNP & ANP) and the AANP (FNP). For whatever reason, the top NP programs emphasize the ANCC...it's supposed to be more "prestigious" and I can't tell you why. I...

  16. Clinical experience before FNP

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jennysong81's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    See if you can get a job in an ER with a "fast track." We see a lot of patients with primary care problems in the fast track. Also, urgent care clinics and primary care practices are excellent...

  17. NPs more likely to be laid off than RNs?

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

    Comparing RN's to NP's is like comparing apples to oranges. Our job description is VERY different from that of RN's. About 7 years ago, I did some travel nursing and I worked in a NYC hospital. I...

  18. opinion on this job please?

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

    SEVEN separate interviews?? That is insane. Something else, I suspect these docs are trying to keep you "under their thumb," because they aren't happy with NP's having full independence in your...

  19. opinion on this job please?

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

    You said that you started the job less than 2 months ago. Are you a brand new NP? If not, then it doesn't make sense that they're treating you this way, especially since they had a PA working on...

  20. Vanderbilt NP program..help!

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

    Are you planning on living in Nashville? I'm assuming they are still offering the "block" times on campus. I found this very expensive, since I was having to fly from Texas. I had to pay for my...

  21. Nurse Practioner schools around Houston, TX area???

    ANPFNPGNP replied to roadrunner25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I obtained a post-Master's FNP certificate at UTHSC in Houston. I would recommend

  22. Cash Only Practice Ideas

    ANPFNPGNP replied to kiser56's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in Texas. Currently, we have to have a collaborative agreement with a physician. However, a bill was just introduced into the TX legislature that, if passed, would give us independence. The...

  23. Cash Only Practice Ideas

    ANPFNPGNP replied to kiser56's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, talk about coincidence! I was just getting ready to start a new thread on this very subject. I've been a NP for close to 4 years now and I'm sick and tired of working my butt off for doctors,...

  24. Experience with Distance Ed NP programs

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure why this quote is being attributed to me, because I never made it. Although, I agree that all graduate programs should require an entrance

  25. Greater range of knowledge as NP than as RN?

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

    Vanderbilt has an Adult NP program with a cardiology focus, although you take the ANP board. Their program is taught in "block format" for students who live at a distance, so you'll have to spend...
