  1. Staten Island/ Long Island Commute to Manhattan

    NurseKJ posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi NY commuting nurses... Just wondering how the commute from Staten/Long Island to Manhattan is. Do you drive? Public transportation? Is it reasonable to think you could live in Manhattan and...

  2. NYC-out of state FNPS

    NurseKJ posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hello all. I posted a similar thread in the advanced practice nursing section, but haven't gotten a response yet, so I thought I would try it out here... I am wondering, with all the excellent...

  3. out of state NPs in NYC

    NurseKJ posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello everyone. I have searched for a topic like this, but cannot find one, so here goes... Does anyone know if NPs from other states have a difficult time trying to find jobs in Manhattan? I am...

  4. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

    NurseKJ replied to foreverLaur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see your point... it was just a thought- I really don't know much about PA school. IMHO-- It wouldn't hurt to apply at the same time as your nursing schools though, you would only be out the...

  5. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

    NurseKJ replied to foreverLaur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please do not take this as a snide remark, but why are you going to nursing school when your goal is to become a PA? I remember reading earlier posts that you said you already have a bachelors...

  6. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well best of luck to you linearthinker. That sounds like a very in depth program. I tend to use Hopkins and UMD's DNP program as a comparison for all others (simply because that is what I am...

  7. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    linearthinker, May I ask about your DNP program- when you say an additional 10 semesters, full-time, do you mean on top of an MSN? BSN? ADN? I'm just curious why it is so long? (with all due...

  8. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    To me, when "independent practice" is mentioned on these boards, and in literature from nursing organizations, I think they are referring to an NP who is permitted to practice without ANY physician...

  9. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Here's a concern I've had for a while- Let's say the DNP curriculum is updated to include much, much more in depth clinical coursework. While, I like the idea of this, I have a feeling that the...

  10. Can ANP work in ICU

    NurseKJ replied to meghanq21's topic in General Nursing

    It really should be open to interpretation, however, at the present time, it is what it is. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Univ of Maryland and Hopkins both have ACNP programs. I was...

  11. Can ANP work in ICU

    NurseKJ replied to meghanq21's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Efy, Yes, I have personal emails with members of the Maryland state board of nursing as my source of this info. However, i don't feel that I should post that on here. You are more than welcome to...

  12. Can ANP work in ICU

    NurseKJ replied to meghanq21's topic in General Nursing

  13. Can ANP work in ICU

    NurseKJ replied to meghanq21's topic in General Nursing

    To the Original Poster- There really are two issues here: 1) Will the state BON allow ANP/FNPs to work in an ICU?... again, you will have to check with the local state board. 2) The second issue is...

  14. Can ANP work in ICU

    NurseKJ replied to meghanq21's topic in General Nursing

    where do you live? you should check with your state's BON. I think it pretty much depends on the state. I'm in Maryland, and you have to be an acute care NP to work in a monitored unit here....

  15. What do you know about School Based NP Positions?

    NurseKJ replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Laurie, So you are a school NP, but do not treat the kids? That's interesting. We have wellness centers in some of our schools in Maryland, and the kids are seen by the NP. At the beginning of...

    NurseKJ replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How does the job sound? What type of work, hours, ect.. is the pay good? I'm just curious- I would be interested in this when done

  18. Rad Tech program

    NurseKJ replied to Andrew12's topic in California Nursing

    Why don't you shadow rad tech and an RN and see what they are all about. My bf is in a rad tech program, and he loves it. I think there are jobs out there for rad techs, it just might not be your...

  19. How to become an er np or surgical np?

    NurseKJ replied to NursKam's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would recommend you check with your state board of nursing (or the state board in which you want to practice). For example, to work in an ED (ie, work on pt's in monitored beds) in Maryland, the...

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    oh ok... thanks.

  21. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Sorry, I did not present my question very clearly, and it came off a bit defensive. What I meant to say was ... I have noticed on several BONs that they have grandfathered in certificate, then...

  22. NP Salary (independent practice vs. nonindependent)

    NurseKJ replied to caffeineRx's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NPpeeon, What kind of practice do you work in? I would love to hear more about your certification (acnp, fnp, ect). Do you work in a state that allows independent NP practice? Any info you would...
