  1. Does School Really Matter?

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

    If there's a need for NPs in the area, then it won't matter - they'll hire anyone if they're desperate. Otherwise, it can matter a great deal. Many physicians (and the public) are turned off by...

  2. positive advice about Walden University NP program

    ANPFNPGNP replied to babyboys's topic in Advanced Practice

    I've been a NP for 8 years and I've owned a very busy practice for 3 years. I precept students from various NP programs. I've had students from brick and mortar schools and online schools. The ones...

  3. NP jobs at weight loss clinics ?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to carachel2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    These are medical weight loss clinics - there is one close to my office. They prescribe phentermine and you can buy their meal replacements/supplements if you want. They also provide weekly B12...

  4. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Make no mistake, doctors oppose our independence because they are afraid of losing MONEY. We've all seen where a physician controlled health care system has gotten us - it's time for a change!...

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Honestly, you need to work as a nurse practitioner for several years before even contemplating going out on your own. Get a job with a busy internist who specializes in complicated patients, so you...

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No matter how many years of nursing experience one has, NPs need several years of NURSE PRACTITIONER experience before going out on their own. I made sure I had 5 full years of experience with most...

  7. Failed AANP today

    ANPFNPGNP replied to ebkayaker's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why don't you just take the ANCC

  8. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You are the one who takes everything personally. Considering the fact that you work at a Children's Hospital, you are obviously encountering children who are very ill. Therefore, you really don't...

  9. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Guess what VIRAL NP, those patients will more than likely see a NP/PA in the ER too! NPs/PAs work in the "fast track" at ERs and see the majority of patients who come there. I know that FOR A FACT...

  10. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What privileged universe are you living in? It's apparent that you have absolutely NO IDEA what goes on in the REAL WORLD! There are not enough primary care physicians NOW...are you totally out of...

  11. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Since when is medical school the ONLY way to go? In NM, psychologists and optometrists can prescribe medication and they never attended medical school. The studies have shown they provide excellent...

  12. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't think I'm equal to a physician. However, I know that I can take care of the majority of healthcare problems that present on a day to day basis and I know when I can't. I refer to a "higher...

  13. Should NPs become COMPLETELY independent?

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

    What I have a problem with is when someone comments that independent NPs are a danger to patients. If you make that comment about me, then you better be able to prove

  14. Should NPs become COMPLETELY independent?

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

    Wowza, where do you live? Are you not aware that NPs in several states have been completely independent of physician oversight for years now? This is NOT a new phenomenon. Make NO mistake about...

  15. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    ANPFNPGNP replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It is ALL about the money, make no mistake about that. CRNA's ARE replacing anesthesiologists and will continue to do so. Here's the latest study that was just released comparing outcomes....

  16. Should NPs become COMPLETELY independent?

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

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but we already ARE independent in several states - more coming soon! Seriously, how do you not know this? We're even completely independent in WASHINGTON, D.C.! CRNA's...

  17. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I charge $60 for adults and $48 for children under 18 (including college students). I never planned on accepting any insurance plans, in fact the local paper wrote a story about my "cash only"...

  18. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    NPs have been without physician oversight for almost 20 years in NM. We're also completely independent in at least 16 states and counting (including Washington, D.C.). Studies have CONSISTENTLY...

  19. Tuberculin Skin Test

    ANPFNPGNP replied to mojopsych's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a NP and I perform the majority of TB testing for nursing students in my area. I've had a few students tell me they've had positive results in the past and were required to have a chest x-ray...

  20. If you get an FNP, can you later work in mental health field?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Trueblood83's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I believe this depends on the state. I know that in Texas, we're required to be certified as a Psych NP or CNS in order to work in the mental health field. Actually, I'm surprised that any BON would...

  21. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  22. Emergency Nurse Practitioner programs?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to CraigBSN02's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FYI, just because you've been trained to do more than take care of minor emergencies in the ER doesn't mean a hospital will let you do it. The hospitals in my area would never allow that. We can...

  23. How Does the Obama Health Care Plan Affect NP's?

    ANPFNPGNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Several physicians have told me that Obama's Health Care Plan will really benefit NP's. I guess I must have missed something, just what are his proposals for NP

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

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

    I agree. There should absolutely be more clinical hours involved - the degree is misleading. I own a practice and I know how tough it is to get credentialed with insurance companies as it is. I'm...

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

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

    Ellen NP, Which state do you reside? I think it's a good idea to require a few years of practice before venturing out on your own...I'm all for that! I live in Texas and I just opened a clinic 6...
