    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The radiologist is your friend. Depending on what you are trying to rule out or in, they can offer exceptional advise. They are also great at adding to your

  3. Experience with Distance Ed NP programs

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

    Just curious about your journey through NP school via distance. I was unable to find another thread which exclusively provided a "lived experience" list for those going through, or have been through...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    In my life, I've dealt with similar unpleasant "things" like the GBON. Unfortunately, I don't think Preparation H will work as well on

  5. FNP program at University of southern indiana

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to PRIMESTAR1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When I went to graduation last month, I met all the profs and they seem really nice. I've only worked with the ones in the FNP program though so I can't offer much insight. As far as the students in...

  6. Own my own Practice

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to sclement23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been trying to find that rule for the last six months. Do you know where I can find that rule about NP-owned clinics? I know it exists somewhere but can't find. I've searched the entire NPA...

  7. which antihypertensive medication to give?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in Post Graduate Students

    First line treatment for hypertension is always lifestyle modification. Weight reduction, DASH diet, sodium reduction If lifestyle modification fails, diuretics are usually the starting meds. Keep...

  8. NP to MD

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

    That might be true, but did you see the cool coffee mug and calendar you get when your enrollment check clears? I think they deserve a second

  9. Can someone help me, Please?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to rach78's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just curious, was it an expedited review? If so, won't they cut you a bit of slack since it has been common domain for 25+ years? If not, will having a release from the publisher

  10. Anyone in California pursuing FNP online?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure what the deal is now over at USI. I keep hearing that they are not accepting any more FNP apps because they are swamped, then when I call I'm told they are still taking applications....

  11. NP to MD

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

    There are a few off shore programs that may give you credit. One is Oceania. Steeped in history, they have been around since 2002. If you start now, you too could be in the graduating class of...

  12. Applying to the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing?

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

    From the research I put in, the posts and reviews, this is undoubtedly one of the finest APN programs out there. This would have been my first choice, but I was a bit creeped out about doing pelvic...

  13. acute/critical NP vs. family practice NP and all the other NPs

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

    Double check with specific programs but usually the ACNP does not include peds or OB/GYN. FNP includes both peds and

  16. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    It makes perfect sense. The board now has more money-making options. I guarantee there will be a fee-for-service to accredit these "post-graduate" programs specially tailored for Regents grads....

  17. A thread for those awaiting decisions...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Sarah7781's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I feel your stress. First I was for Duke, then Johns Hopkins, now I'm back at Duke. It might help to do a bit of digging. For me I contacted a student going through Johns Hopkins and Duke. This...

  18. Torn between DNP schools

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

    I got notice that I was accepted at Duke's MSN-DNP program a few weeks ago. The other day, I got an acceptance to Johns Hopkins DNP. I'm leaning more towards Duke, but still am having a tough time....

  19. Anyone in California pursuing FNP online?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in the Central Valley. Wasn't too difficult. The trick is finding a place and a preceptor that is a good fit. Don't settle for the first one who says yes. Also, have a backup. Use the...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Sarah7781's topic in Post Graduate Students

    HELP! I don't know. At first, my instinct was to take Duke. But now I'm not sure. My colleagues are telling me that I would be nuts not to go to Johns Hopkins. Both programs are essentially...

  23. Need to interview a NP for a class assignment!!

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

    Each state has an NP association. Many local geographical areas have local associations. You may wish to visit one of their meetings. It might be favorable to the exp to interview someone in...

  24. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I was wondering about that too. Is there a loophole (sorry can't think of a better word) as I have many medic friends who would love nothing more than to do Regents--all of which are here in...

  25. FNP and Acute care NP

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

    Double check, but I do not think ACNP covers pediatrics or OB as FNP does. Also, double check with your state: Can FNP's work in acute care settings? Can ACNP's work in primary care clinics. In...
