  1. Has anyone went off and did their own clinical time?

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks, thats what I was curious about. I have spent some days in the ER, and the PA I am following is treating it as a "shadowing" experience. He lets me evaluate, do a quick H&P, and tell him...

  2. You might want to avoid this recruiting company

    HumptyDumpty replied to nomadcrna's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is laughable... Seriously getting this bent out of shape because he called you by your first name instead of Dr.? APN's with doctorate degrees aren't called Dr. in the clinical setting, only the...

  3. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Anyone out there get real tired about the constant drama, anxiety, and non stop worrying exerted by your female classmates? To me, it seems like the majority of them have nothing to talk about other...

  4. Why is it so hard to find a preceptor?

    HumptyDumpty replied to WRNCEN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you serious? A majority of NP students aren't even on par with medical residents in knowledge. So you think we should get paid for it? You are the one that gives us a bad

  5. These classes are nonsense

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Finished my first semester of patho, pharm, and health assessment, you know real classes that are significant to my future job. So this semester I am taking some nonsense advanced nursing theory and a...

  6. These classes are nonsense

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    None. I am going to evaluate and assess my patient. Treat them accordingly and provide the appropriate education. I do not need a framework some nurse with a PhD designed to be able to do my job and...

  7. These classes are nonsense

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not sure, probably just going to pick one at random and write my paper on it. It will be the same "fluff"

  8. These classes are nonsense

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are right, this is what I was trying to elate to. I believe this theory is irrelevant to practice, in my eyes. I do not need to subscribe to some theory some person with a PhD wrote. Sorry, its...

  9. Any new NPs go directly for DNP?

    HumptyDumpty replied to linearthinker's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think the DNP is a complete waste of time that will ultimately not matter in the real world. It will not suffice in helping your clinic practice at all unless they added clinical relevant course...

  10. Hate being a floor nurse- happier as NP?

    HumptyDumpty replied to mslinzyann's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I hated floor nursing with a passion... All I felt like was a middleman with to much responsibility and not enough time. Doing wound care one minute and the next getting some obese slob a coke,...

  11. Dollars for Docs

    HumptyDumpty replied to Jstand's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Who cares? if the drug effectiveness and safety is on par with others, why not make some extra $$ prescribing a particular medication over another if its in its proper

  12. Torn between FNP or PHMNP

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As the title states, I am torn into which speciality to enter. Each one equally interests me, but I am leaning more towards the FNP route just for the autonomy and job market. I am worried that as a...

  13. Hello my name is.......and I am OBESE

    HumptyDumpty replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Listen, I am not trying to be confrontational or anything, but this is the same thing I hear over and over again from many obese individuals. Obesity is basically non existent in some countries, why?...

  14. Hello my name is.......and I am OBESE

    HumptyDumpty replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    When are people going to get out of this "dieting" mind set? Dieting never works, it just does not. The only way you are going to effectively loose weight, keep it off, and develop an optimal health...

  15. Employment problems?

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was curious if any new NP grads out there had any difficulty acquiring employment? Has anyone had any problems that graduated from an online program?

  16. Employment problems?

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was more specifically looking at the south, such as NC, TN, GA, and SC.... I see quite a few openings pretty often. Was just wondering how the prospects are for new

  17. I am so sick of these people...

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Been an RN for 6 months and have been working for that long. I do not find the job terribly difficult, busy at times, but completely manageable. But I am getting sick of dealing with most of these...

  18. Obtaining RN license with revoked license from another agency (eg: pharmacy board)...

    HumptyDumpty replied to shoc369's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If it was expunged, was 15 years ago, nothing serious like assault, murder, rape etc... and you have not been in trouble since, you should be fine. Seriously, just be honest on the application, sure...

  19. I am so sick of these people...

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was raised in the south as well, I am not trying to be offensive in any way. So I will rephrase it, how about "some" of these people... I was curious if its more prevalent here than other areas....

  20. Vent- new grads who don't struggle at work

    HumptyDumpty replied to carebearsRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Eh, I have now been working for 6 months and don't find it as difficult as a lot of the other nurses. Sure you get busy, but just get it done. Then again, I thought nursing school was a breeze as...

  21. Help...I CAN'T fail nursing school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    HumptyDumpty replied to Ecpi Raleigh 07/09's topic in General Nursing

    Well my dear, I am sorry that you are so worried about failing nursing school for a class you havent even taken yet. But here is the solution. If this makes you this anxious, leave the profession now...

  22. Assessing competecy for intravenous sticks

    HumptyDumpty replied to shadow1100's topic in General Nursing

    Did you literally just write all that about starting IVs?? WOW, are you really that scared about something so simple? Psychomotor skills that focus on holding the equipment, and are staged? You...

  23. how much time did you study a day in nursing school?

    HumptyDumpty replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Im with A4 that posted above, I studed anywhere from 2-6 hours the day before a test... That was it really and i graduated with a 3.7. Everyones different. If you have found school to be difficult for...

  24. Torn between FNP or PHMNP

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the replies everyone! I am leaning more and more towards the PMHNP route. I really believe its where my passion lies and from everyones input, it doesn't sound like I would have a terrible...

  25. Torn between FNP or PHMNP

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the reply! Usually when I look online at job postings, I see more FNP listings, but I suppose a lot of opportunities are posted elsewhere. Do you think the future looks bright for the...
