  1. Additional Benefits of being a Nurse Practitioner

    DrCOVID replied to Royal_RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The older I get, the less important money is... but yes you can make a lot more money. Those NP that say they can't are getting swindled or the RN that makes NP money is working a ton of OT. Mostly,...

  2. Starting a PLLC

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Advanced Practice

    Can you link your post? I can't find

  3. PMHNP Residency programs

    DrCOVID replied to PsychRN_CA's topic in Advanced Practice

    The VA is the only one I have heard of as well. I heard it was super limited though, like a couple slots a year or something and you likely have to move bc it's not

  4. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    Nope: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/614872 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17626694/...

  5. APRN - Is it worth it.....

    DrCOVID replied to DialysisRN34's topic in Advanced Practice

    I find the provider role so much less stressful than being in a hospital or what you express about administration. Debt, sure especially depending on where you go. However, I can say there are a lot...

  6. last year of FNP school but want PMHNP

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

    I don't know if you know, but you can't just up and transfer grad schools. A student in my cohort (from another city) didn't realize this. She got stuck and found out the hard way she can't just...

  7. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    PhD***... DNP are supposed to be integrating research to practice and facilitate change/nursing leadership, not conducting research experiments. My cohort picked DNP because we wanna be terminally...

  8. UMSL DNP

    DrCOVID replied to JDPsychNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, let me know if you have any questions. Sorry I can't precept you haha. I still have friends and family in the StL area. I wish I had done HPSP for medical school. Too late now!! I'm very happy...

  9. UMSL DNP

    DrCOVID replied to JDPsychNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I joined the military out of college and ended up in big city in Texas. For privacy reasons, I don't wanna say where. It's a private brick and mortar, hybrid program (meaning we have class days on...

  10. UMSL DNP

    DrCOVID replied to JDPsychNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey ? WOW!! I never thought I'd see the day someone here goes to my alma mater. I did my BSN there 05-09. It was a great program all of us passed NCLEX, though like any we had our torturous professors...

  11. What can a nurse do with an MBA?

    DrCOVID replied to Reaz's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto that... PA always have to have a MD. NP can be completely independent. ?‍♂️ I know they get more clinic time but... Alotta nurses here under the impression the DNP as a worthless piece of...

  12. Dr. Pimple Popper Thinks Nurses Have No Place Educating Patients

    DrCOVID replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    The real issue is public health literacy... Nothing to do with md/nurse but if you need an example, just look at the current

  13. 100% Online vs. Hybrid Nurse Practitioner Programs

    DrCOVID replied to SN2751's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have to echo this. It was a nightmare for a lot of students at my school as well. I'm at a hybrid DNP program (please at least do hybrid) and even though school of medicine, pharmacy etc... had...

  14. PNP vs Pediatrician

    DrCOVID replied to PedsInTraining's topic in Advanced Practice

    You might be of the opinion it doesn't matter. However, I have 2 additional years than you or the typical MSN, working on clinical problems, studying psychiatry and looking at treatment guidelines ......

  15. PNP vs Pediatrician

    DrCOVID replied to PedsInTraining's topic in Advanced Practice

    Your posts on this subject are paradoxical. About the only thing you actually got correct the problem is the curriculum and clinical time, not the DNP degree itself. The extra year is still a step in...

  16. PNP vs Pediatrician

    DrCOVID replied to PedsInTraining's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would sleep 10x better if you stopped posting negative things about the nursing profession having a doctoral program path, finished your personal education, or went to medical school you keep...

  17. PNP vs Pediatrician

    DrCOVID replied to PedsInTraining's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yup. Kool-aid where in my city, there are no more MSN programs, wanted the terminal degree so I don't need to go back to school, have more clinical time, and am becoming a independently licensed...

  18. New PMHNP

    DrCOVID replied to sdan2020's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Be personable, willing to learn and make your psychiatrist happy. If he wants you to do something, do it. Don't go in and change everyone's meds around... you should notice patterns in the way they...

  19. PNP vs Pediatrician

    DrCOVID replied to PedsInTraining's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'll preface with, I know nothing about PEDs and am childphobic. That being said, I feel this decision has to do with where you are in your life. If you are early thirties like myself, are jaded to...

  21. Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    DrCOVID replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This is not exclusive to those who have achieved academic doctorates of any kind

  22. Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    DrCOVID replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This crap has been beaten to death already. Anyone that holds a doctoral degree can introduce themselves as doctor no matter what setting you are in as long as you explain what kinda doctor you are....

  23. Preparing to enter NP school ...

    DrCOVID replied to Nursejoymariea27's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't know what this is about, you need those for med school not DNP. Going back to OChem and BioChem for DNP is silly, hell if you have a good grasp of McCance - The biologic basis for disease in...

  24. Preparing to enter NP school ...

    DrCOVID replied to Nursejoymariea27's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hey, I'm 2 semesters away from graduating a 3 year full time DNP program. The number one thing I would say is start looking at clinical sites. This was a huge problem at my school (as for somehow, the...

  25. On line NP or On-campus Np? (MA)

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

    My DNP program is brick and mortar, but mostly distance. We have class 1 day a week before covid on the campus. Most of your time should be clinic anyway, which make sure you ask about wherever you...
