  1. Alphabet Soup of a Title

    DrCOVID replied to jfmDNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    The DNPs at the large FQHC chain here in TX (and therefore I suspect, mister military, at the VA), get paid more than the MSNs. That is what the guideline states... There is no point in...

  2. DNP- owned private practice Salary?

    DrCOVID replied to JosephP1983's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yeah, I'm in Texas! I plan on getting endorsed in other IP states to do telehealth with

  3. DNP- owned private practice Salary?

    DrCOVID replied to JosephP1983's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Right. That is the thing people don't take into account, your time. You can never get that back. Nursing helps a little, but the provider role is way different and requires different skills and to be...

  4. DNP- owned private practice Salary?

    DrCOVID replied to JosephP1983's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yes - and again, you will see online job listings as that is mostly for employees, NP salaries (FNP) will be low around 100k~. That is because most NPs don't understand the business end. My mentor was...

  5. DNP- owned private practice Salary?

    DrCOVID replied to JosephP1983's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It largely depends on structure. If you are employed, have benefits, etc., are being directly supervised - project 100-150k depending on geographical location. If you own your own practice or are...

  6. DNP- owned private practice Salary?

    DrCOVID replied to JosephP1983's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hey man, this has been already discussed ad nauseum here in the psychiatric forum; it is not "common" in the sense that most NPs are not making this much. I personally know one that does gross over...

  7. Do you think Biden can fulfill his promise to vaccinate 100 million people in his first 100 days?

    DrCOVID replied to DesiDani's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I didn't realize a single human was capable of vaccinating so many people in such a short time. That is 1m vaccines a

  8. Psychiatric NP

    DrCOVID replied to xtl311's topic in Advanced Practice

    https://thriveap.com/blog/which-5-states-do-not-require-nps-take-national-certification-exam Seems like there is a handful. I saw this while I was studying for boards, the guide I had listed 3;...

  9. Psychiatric NP

    DrCOVID replied to xtl311's topic in Advanced Practice

    You guys digging up almost a 3 year old thread btw... But this could be said of nearly any program ; including pre-reqs for med school. But yes, you risk liability when you go outside your scope, so...

  10. Psych NP education vs CRNA

    DrCOVID replied to Stefyxox's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Challenge is debatable and subjective. Yes I feel as prepared as I could be. I do a lot of extra-curricular learning. I listen to psychiatric and psychologic Youtube channels and podcasts in my free...

  11. Psych NP education vs CRNA

    DrCOVID replied to Stefyxox's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It is incredible that you are passionate about these fields fresh out of nursing school! These questions have been beaten to death here. Have a look at the respective forums. NP curriculums vary...

  12. NP Hates from Physicians?

    DrCOVID replied to Myec's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you have already completed the MSN, the extra work for the DNP is not harder than doing the BSN to DNP, which was one of the points that person made in the

  13. NP Hates from Physicians?

    DrCOVID replied to Myec's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Quite an interesting post here. You point out that the priority is patient care and outcomes. Despite the training disparities - which don't matter that much because there are data to support each...

  14. NP Hates from Physicians?

    DrCOVID replied to Myec's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Isn't that absolute truth. You really need to be careful what you put into your head. I had to stop reading a couple forums because they were making me depressed! If you think the hate for NPs is bad,...

  15. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    DrCOVID replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I will never forget when I was a couple years into being an RN, one of the MDs asked me what I think a patient's diagnosis was. So I guess all that time he spent in school and residency ensured he was...

  16. NP Hates from Physicians?

    DrCOVID replied to Myec's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    People are much more emboldened to post hate speech online, because there is anonymity. In the real world, I haven't encountered it one bit in the 11 years I have been a nurse and in the...

  17. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    DrCOVID replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There is so much wrong with this... 1) If you are in a program you feel is worthless, why stay in it? 2) No nurse worth their dry weight is saying DNP = MD/DO. Only people who have no idea...

  18. Feeling Extremely Lost And Angry About Graduating

    DrCOVID replied to chocolateocean's topic in General Students

    What others are doing has little to do with you. Most of what we do is because of what is inside us, not others. Again, I recommend a good psychotherapist. They will give you insight to these issues...

  19. Feeling Extremely Lost And Angry About Graduating

    DrCOVID replied to chocolateocean's topic in General Students

    Been in nursing 11 years now, passed NCLEX in 09. The NCLEX is mostly about basic judgement/reasoning to make sure you can think critically and reason. If you did well in school (usually you have...

  20. New Paradigm for the DNP. What do you think?

    DrCOVID replied to KetafolDNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Katie is quite an interesting specimen. She spouts nothing but disdain for the DNP and how nursing doesn't need it since it is "stupid" despite the slight increase in training time much needed for...

  21. DNP vs PhD

    DrCOVID replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Aren't we all going to be sandwiched at some point? Any sane person will say this should never be the reason get a doctorate... and the OP referred to 'clout' which again is like *eyeroll* ......

  22. Stats for favorable DNP admission?

    DrCOVID replied to mrkeeb's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Don't worry about a B or two. What you are asking depends so highly on the school you go to. Online only schools with no reputation probably won't care that much about your grades. They are there to...

  23. BSN to DNP

    DrCOVID replied to serenity's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you have a good grasp of ped nursing, I would start applying. The role of an NP vs RN is very different. RNs follow orders in the hospital. As a NP, you are diagnosing and prescribing...

  24. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    DrCOVID replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you read and comprehended the AACN content about the DNP, you wouldn't be posting paradoxical questions. DNP essentials: Essential III: Clinical Scholarship and Analytical Methods for...

  25. NP online schools

    DrCOVID replied to gmart's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First and foremost, most programs are mostly online. I just completed a DNP program, we had class every other week on Thursday (all day) so it was very flexible and the first year we didn't have...
