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

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

    The poster presents an interesting question. In my extensive experience as an FNP (serving the community since last Tuesday) I often wonder about this myself. I'm a full partner in the place where I...

  2. What are the prescriptive authority allowed new NP in your state?

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

    In California NP's are simply medical technicians and can only "furnish" medications--not prescribe. This is largely due to many factors. First, NP's have very little sense of the importance of, or...

  3. ANCC exam

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Violet29's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Great

  4. passed CPNE

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to melissakp's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congrats and welcome to the fold of alum from one of the last born again hard core nursing programs left in the country. Now repeat after me, "This is my stethescope...there are many like it but this...

  5. Anyone graduated? TCN/ISU RN BSN program

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to very TLC nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I went through ISU and have been on faculty since I graduated. I would strongly recommend the program. As far as The College Network, just think of the little fish sucking on the big whale as it...

  6. Are all Excelsior Grads "Super Smart" ?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to dbarnes2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I couldn't characterize Regents/Excelsior grads as rocket scientists as rocket scientists are mostly introverts. I would say that Regents/EC grads are more akin to the fighter pilots of nursing....

  7. FNP but work in Geriatrics?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Inspire1983's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a heavy load of geriatrics at my clinic. As it stands now, when you graduate from an FNP program you will be eligible to sit for both FNP and GNP

  8. Distance Ed Grad Stats Course

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just curious as to your thoughts for those of you that took graduate level statistics in your MSN program via online. I'm looking for a painless grad stats course online for a DNP program prereq....

  9. Its finally over

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I passed the AANP FNP deal! What a funky

  10. I passed!!!

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

    Good

  11. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    When I get my DNP, I only expect those who it really bothers to address me as doctor. After medical students who have no clue as of yet what primary care means or what it really means to build...

  12. Its finally over

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

    Really?!?!?! Is there now a CRNA distance-based program? Do

  13. Its finally over

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

    I can't say it was hard or easy--just oddly worded. More of a game of logic, reasoning and much wordsmithing than an assessment deal. Anyway, just my

  14. Its finally over

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

    Thanks much. I've truly been blessed and as of late have been quite humbled and a bit puzzled by the countless opportunities. I've landed my dream gig with a real needy population and been offered...

  15. I PASSED

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

    That's a groovy deal! Was it a weirdo test? The AANP gig

  16. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree, there needs to be a corresponding practice component for a degree that's purported to be practice-oriented. I start Duke's DNP program next month and I see a continuation of theory,...

  17. Samuel Merritt ELMSN-FNP 2010 - Sacramento Applicants

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's funny. I guess I just don't understand. Why would it cost so much? I think I spent around 3K for my ASN, 10K for my BSN and around 9K for the MSN. I know the ASN was a while back but the...

  18. Don't like kids...ANP best bet?

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

    Me too, but you are correct in stating that the FNP is the most marketable gig. Just because you have the training doesn't mean you have to see

  19. I passed:)

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to sally 1977's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats! Do share. Lots of milestone type questions? Do

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jd2nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do they at least give you a free coffee

  22. Nurse Practitioner roles in California and Florida

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to JMM21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What does this tell me? It tells me that there is a disassociation between advanced nursing practice and the models and processes by which graduate level advanced practice nurses are trained,...

  23. Nurse Practitioner roles in California and Florida

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to JMM21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There first needs to be a consensus among nurse practitioners. Many practicing NP's, including my preceptor subscribe to the notion that NP's practice medicine and not advance nursing. Until this...

  24. Taking aanp FNP???

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to sally 1977's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So when you take the AANP, you don't leave with any documentation that you passed? A bit disconcerting in light of my application material being "misplaced" more than
