    Regarding Adult Gerontology primary care NP

    LadyT618 replied to hafhaf's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    On the other hand, if you can't make up your mind, there are dual FNP/ACNP programs you can apply to. This way you have the best of both

    Regarding Adult Gerontology primary care NP

    LadyT618 replied to hafhaf's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Usually that is the case, that hospitals only take ACNPs but I know of at least one AGPCNP out there (she has a YouTube channel) and she is an AGPCNP that works as a hospitalist. Sounds like a great...

    Asked to Resign During Orientation

    LadyT618 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I wonder why she wasn't given the opportunity to complete a Performance Improvement Plan? Isn't that the purpose of these plans to avoid having to let folks go? Give them the needed education and...

    FNP and pharmacology

    LadyT618 replied to weswes03's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I used Lehne's Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 9th edition in my Advanced Pharmacology course and I thought it was very good. I noticed on Amazon an 10th edition is out, which isn't doing good so far...

    Failing Grad school course

    LadyT618 replied to SFMG ED RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Believe it or not they are actually built into some hospital EMRs and it's an expectation that nurses address them in the patient's chart. It's hilarious!!! No one really gives it the attention we did...

    I know I didn't write SOAP notes in nursing school but NPs write them, hence they are a big thing taught in NP

    Standardization of NP Education

    LadyT618 replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And that's just it....the Nurse Practitioner role began out of the need for these Advanced Practice Nurses in primary care, a role which required RNs with clinical experience. Now it has morphed into...

    Standardization of NP Education

    LadyT618 replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm with you on the primary care front. So many MDs out there don't even believe that NPs are good enough to provide primary care and it really doesn't help when there are NPs out there who make...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    LadyT618 replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well, was trying to see why she would mix up her words ("retake" when never took the course before). I'd love to hear from her to see if she thought of doing the CLEP thing. Inquiring minds want to...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    LadyT618 replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting to think that perhaps English is not her first language. There are some typos in some of her posts. I could be off base with this notion. I concur with KrCmommy522. She's on this website...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    LadyT618 replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    According to the article, it came about when she tried to apply to a BSN program and they discovered, "hey, this chick doesn't have her ADN." Then all hell broke lose from there. Kinda similar to the...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    LadyT618 replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very.....no, a VERY unfortunate situation!! It appears that there are "graduation" requirements and there are "curriculum" requirements (those that permit you to sit for the boards). Why are...

    Are Home Health RNs really paid what they are worth??

    LadyT618 replied to Scorpiostngrn's topic in Home Health

    It's like you're in my head LOL. I've been in home health for most of my nursing career (which is now going on about 13 years now). And I too have had it with home health. It's all about that bottom...

    I received both an email and snail mail letter regarding acceptance into my program. I started on the 8th. So I'd be looking at both mailbox and inbox.
