  1. DNP from Yale?

    DrCOVID replied to NP-Swigart's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I would highly discourage this... esp if you are a seasoned NP. Unless you are going for the connections the school might set up for you. There is no reason to pay more as medical is mostly based on...

  2. Looking for some advice from DNPs

    DrCOVID replied to ADN2DNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I wish I could tell you what you should do... most of my cohort had started their projects in January, and some students in my program had started earlier. So I have a few weeks of good data...

  3. DNP NECESSARY????

    DrCOVID replied to TheFuture09's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Do you want a terminal degree? Do you want a higher position which requires more time & education? Can you get it paid for? Do you want to not have to return to school? Do you want more respect?...

  4. How do you write your credentials after graduating but waiting to take the boards?

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

    You, like my previous nursing "leadership" are trying to ask me to shut my brain off. I have personally accomplished steps 1, 2, & 3 thank you for helping me cope. But regardless of the steps you...

  5. How do you write your credentials after graduating but waiting to take the boards?

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

    1. Forgive me for not reading the TOS on an online anonymous message board. You nor anyone can verify who anyone is or their credentials here. Therefore, it is kinda silly isn't it? 2. It is another...

  6. PMHNP practice

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

    Don't go by my word on this but here in TX my APRN is saying the gov has approved routine appointment billing for phone/video calls due to the pandemic. I am sure this depends on state...

  7. How do you write your credentials after graduating but waiting to take the boards?

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

    I don't think the same applies to an anonymous online message board where I am not practicing or taking care of patients. If law actually applied here, then 3/4ths of this forum would be deleted....

  8. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    DrCOVID replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    Am I missing something? You have nurse in your title. I mean this gotten to a just developed to a point where I just think you are stupid. You are trying to berate someone who spent an additional 4...

  9. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    DrCOVID replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    I didn't make that up just as I didn't make up people think med school or being a doctor is easy path to riches; it comes from the 11 years I have at this now working in a hospital and knowing many...

  10. Strange how things come around

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

    I would not take it personally... besides I know not many people have this luxury, but I am prepared to say "no" to a lot of places before I accept. It is critical to look for people who have...

  11. Completing DNP While Working Full-Time

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

    My prog is hybrid as well. The problem is clinical. Any serious school will tell you work is discouraged or make you sign no work agreements. Most of my cohort is at most doing prn work. Full time...

  12. How do you write your credentials after graduating but waiting to take the boards?

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

    So this is funny cuz one of the students that graduated from my program wrote a professor (he was checking up on her) and she signed her name PHMNP before she took the boards, and he jumped on her for...

  13. Have any of you read any medical textbooks? How did they compare to NP texts?

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

    DNP/pmhnp program using; Patho - McCance Pharm - Katzung/Trevor & Stahl & Schatzberg/Nemeroff Pyshical assessment - Dains, Buamann, Scheibel Psychiatric - Gabbard's &...

  14. PMHNP practice

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

    I'm in an outpatient independent practice. We have 2 front desk people that screen and call and manage appointments. Patient's are dropped if they no show 2 times. No exceptions. She will often fire...

  15. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    DrCOVID replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    You all partook in the diploma mill MSN path so what do I expect? Human nature is to focus on one narrow idea, confirm your own bias, and miss the forest for the trees. Most people do it and that is...

  16. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    DrCOVID replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    Reiterating* ? I'm convinced you guys either can't read or have a 3rd grade comprehension level. I'm gonna go read the DSM. Good luck in

  17. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    DrCOVID replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    That is your subjective opinion and if you think that then you must live in a small bubble. I have met many people that go into professions for the wrong reasons and because they think it will make...

  18. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    DrCOVID replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    The fact you keep trying to say this is making me laugh out loud. Have you even read my 3rd and final response to your asinine comments in that other thread? Instead of focusing on what you think I...

  19. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    DrCOVID replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    Here, maybe this will help: "I will leave the MD for people thinking they want to take an easy route to make good money" This sentence doesn't mean that I think it is easy and therefore it...

  20. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    DrCOVID replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    This post is paradoxical. On one hand, there is already an option to become a provider, yet you don't want to improve the one that you chose? I don't get it. No one ever said they are the same thing....

  21. Nutrition Certification for APRNs?

    DrCOVID replied to Michelle91518's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think your major barrier is going to be revenue. Insurance is not set up for most primary prevention methods. I think you would have to stick to cash only, older wealthy folks you can focus on and...

  22. How to maximize income for an FNP?

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

    Yeah. TBH there is a lot more money to be made in the influence/follower space. There are counltess buffooons on Youtube making more money then most MDs will ever see. I am planning to do something...

  23. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    DrCOVID replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    This currently the biggest issue and one I need to start spamming all over this forum. The DNP is getting a lot of hate and "not necessary" by nurses, this forum and the community... yet they forget...

  24. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    DrCOVID replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think you two are inferring a lot/misinterpreting what I wrote, please emphasize the word "thinking" in that sentence you chose to excerpt. Moving forward, what would bring a DO to a nursing forum?...

  25. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    DrCOVID replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's not even that. Even after you train you work long and hard to make that
