   CA APN's and collaborating/supervising physician

   time2go replied to ac123's topic in Advanced Practice

   This is old but I'll respond because the independent practice in CA is not nearly what I or any other NPs I know expected. There are now 2 types of NPs: 103s which work somewhere there are MDs or DOs...

   time2go replied to redsnapper19's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   You don't need a hospice NP as preceptor. Whatever your NP designation is going to be is who needs to precept. For example, if you're heading toward Adult/Geriatric Primary Care, you need a primary...

   Hospice NP asked to perform RN visits?

   time2go replied to pierogi's topic in Advanced Practice

   I'm in that position now. I agreed to it but I'm getting tired of it. I'm ACHPN NP and I agreed to do admissions (RN job) in a pinch. Well, since hospices do indeed tend to run lean, I do way more...

   ACHPN exam?

   time2go replied to archiebel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

   I could never find a definitive recommendation for pre-test study and review. Seems like experience is the only thing that absolutely will help but you know how that goes. Like with the NCLEX, what...

   ACHPN exam?

   time2go replied to archiebel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

   I took it twice, passed the second time and there were not many similarities between the two. Seems they concentrate on hospital palliative things more than hospice. I remember when I took the CHPN a...

   time2go replied to archiebel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

   Old thread but I took the test today for the second time and passed. Both times I took the test, the questions were so different. I would be interested to hear if anyone used a test prep they...

   Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

   time2go replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

   The bottom line as I see it is an NPs willingness to take a job where he or she is expected to function as the MD or DO, knowing there will be a pay disparity. So many "midlevels" (I know, many hate...

   How old were you when you started nursing school?

   time2go replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

   adult gerontology primary care nurse practitioner

   time2go replied to redsnapper19's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Agreed. I was a CHPN, hospice RN before I finished my NP. Now I'm a hospice NP. Knowing the role of the hospice NP was a comfort to me because I knew that if I got through the education and...

    ACHPN exam?

    time2go replied to archiebel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I have the same concerns about this book. There are, indeed, tons of typos but I'm going with the actual content, along with other things, because, well, can't

    AGNP'S please respond here!

    time2go replied to nurseTdawg1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    1. I'm a hospice nurse and my employer kept me on as an AGNP. We only do adults who are mostly in the geriatric age range so it's perfect. 2. I have many opportunities that looked interesting but...

    Anyone enrolled or graduated from Spring Arbor's MSN FNP program?

    time2go replied to FloridagalRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    time2go replied to _ashley_'s topic in General Students

    I wanted to quit nursing school nearly every semester. I'm now finishing my AGNP and I've wanted to quit that too. Before you quit, learn about all the jobs you can do that are not in the hospital....
