    What can I do with my MSN-FNP that doesn't require much patient contact

    LadyT618 replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As much as I'm not a people person, I'd find radiology boring too LOL. I truly am loving primary care, even with the stubborn, hard-headed patients

    I think the OP mentioned it early on in this thread. Don't think they are giving up the CRNA life, just adding to

    LadyT618 replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I say if you have the time and the stamina, go to med school and become a radiologist. You don't have to deal with the bedside that comes with hospital nursing, you definitely get the respect and...

    That is a strong possibility, but @noyesno didn't mention if that was the case. I still can't get over a registered nurse with 1 year of experience can't even research how to give an IM injection in...

    So wait...she asks the doctor how to give (something as basic as) an IM injection, but wants to preach to the physician about medical info she found in UpToDate? Has she no shame?? I'm surprised the...

    Family Practice or SNF

    LadyT618 replied to DTWriter's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I say follow your heart. Go with what you want to do, not with what you're forced to do. You don't want to do SNF because you want to be able to ensure your marketability in the future. Hell, since...

    SC to NYS NP License?

    LadyT618 replied to RebeccaHale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was looking into endorsing my APRN licensure to NYS (I also hold an RN license from NY), but I've decided I just can't bring myself to go back to the snow after being in the nice sunny, hot weather...

    LadyT618 replied to Mberrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How about find the positions you are interested in via these job search sites, but instead of applying through these services, go directly to the company's website (if they have one) and apply...

    Ditto on what @juan de la cruz said. Also, may I say I admire your thirst for knowledge and desire to broaden your knowledge outside the arena of anesthesia/perioperative field. I just love to see...

    LadyT618 replied to LucidMonkeyCCRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here's a little something I came across last night in my search about the history of the various NP roles. It's from a Medscape CME activity from 2007 and thought it was very interesting and relevant...

    I think this is a dead horse that seen it's last days, but I'll chime in. I recently finished my Post Master's program to become an AGPCNP after being a registered nurse for nearly 13 years (at the...

    Yes, it is possible. I also had a non-nursing BS prior to getting my ADN in nursing. You just have to find a school who has RN-to-MSN NP programs (they do exist). You do not have to get a BSN. The MSN...
