  1. Florida NP Certification Requirements

    NPs Save Lives replied to NPs Save Lives's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's pretty clear but pretty stupid in my opinion. Why the differentiation between the subtypes. I wouldn't be so steamed if it was all of us. I just want to get started with things and this may hold...

  2. Florida NP Certification Requirements

    NPs Save Lives posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just finished my FNP and will be sitting for the national certification boards soon. I found out that because of the wording in the law passed that general NPs must sit immediately before they can...

  3. Gainesville ?'s

    NPs Save Lives replied to Pompom's topic in Florida Nursing

    I live in Lake City. I have been here since 1991. It's a nice place to live and the people are friendly. It's convenient to Gainesville, Jacksonville and Tallahassee. I came up from Vero Beach and...

  4. MSN Programs in Gainesville area?

    NPs Save Lives replied to Pompom's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just graduated from FSU's online NP program and couldn't rave about it more! It was the only way I could complete a program while working full time and being a wife and mother. Whatever program you...

  5. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

    NPs Save Lives replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would probably stay for a year to start and if it wasn't something I wanted to continue to learn, move on to something else. I have a tendency to stay for long periods of time in one place because I...

  6. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

    NPs Save Lives replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Worrying about losing the information is a concern for me as well. I will be continuing to read up on the current meds and issues in order to keep up to date. We are responsible for maintaining our...

  7. Work while in school for NP?? Possible??

    NPs Save Lives replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had to work full time (3 12's) while doing the FNP program online. I also have children who wanted to have the computer all the time when I needed it. I broke down and bought a lap top. It was a...

  8. Have any NPs considered med school?

    NPs Save Lives replied to HealthyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that anyone's education is what they put into it. I've seen incompetence on both sides of the coin (MD or NP). We diagnose, treat and take care of patients very similarly to MDs. I think the...

  9. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

    NPs Save Lives replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have been doing Med/Surg nursing in a hospital and will graduate on April 27th as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I had two options for employment. One with a primary care doc and one with a...

  10. Should I do MY BSN online

    NPs Save Lives replied to WinksRN's topic in General Nursing

    I did my BSN online through Florida State University. I am also finishing my MSN (Family Nurse Practitioner) through FSU online as well. 15 weeks to go! I would have liked to be able to do some...

  11. Advice Needed - NP Programs

    NPs Save Lives replied to MidwestRN34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think as a FNP you could work in Women's health without dual cert because it covers women's health in the process.. FNP is more marketable. I hate the pediatric part but will do it to get finished....

  12. Completely online graduate programs for FNP's - Opinions?

    NPs Save Lives replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I attend Florida State University's online FNP program and have had a wonderful experience with it. I have had no trouble finding preceptors (both NP and

  13. a doc's take on APRN's

    NPs Save Lives replied to canoehead's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have responded to his site several times. I think he enjoys the controversy. I don't mind because it drives more traffic to my

  14. Shadowing NP/PA

    NPs Save Lives replied to phluteloop's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have shadowed NPs and MDs by just discussing the fact that I am in NP school and need clinical hours. I haven't been turned down yet! Good luck with your

  15. MD shortage prompts UDM to shorten PA program

    NPs Save Lives replied to Selke's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're very welcome.. I like to find Nurse Practitioner/student blogs to read. If you know of any more, let me

  16. MD shortage prompts UDM to shorten PA program

    NPs Save Lives replied to Selke's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I find it very interesting that PAs seem to be touted as those who will "save the day" while NPs are left in the dirt once again. I would think that physicians would rather have an NP that they don't...

  17. Have any NPs considered med school?

    NPs Save Lives replied to HealthyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am currently working on my adult health NP and it did cross my mind about medical school for a second. I don't see the need to go back and do 4 years of Chemistry, Physics and Calculus and then do a...

  20. Heavily Tättooed: Can I get into nursing???

    NPs Save Lives replied to YukonDave's topic in General Nursing

    At our facility, no one cares if you have tatoos. In fact, quite a few of the nurses have tatoos which they show off to each other regularly. As long as they are not offensive, I wouldn't think they...

  22. Advice about being a Nurse Practitioner

    NPs Save Lives replied to GARYLPN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My degree doesnt' state that it was an online program for my BSN and it won't for the NP track either. The classes are the same material as the face to face on campus and it is more convenient for...

  23. Advice about being a Nurse Practitioner

    NPs Save Lives replied to GARYLPN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Check out Florida State University at www.fsu.edu.. They have a great RN-BSN program and they just started the Adult Health NP track online. You set up local clinicals where ever you are. The entire...
