1. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

   Angeljho replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Oh yeah, I know MDs can do fellowships. It's still a form of post graduate training. There are also NP fellowships (although not the same, of course). Still, there are options for NPs to gain post...

2. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

   Angeljho replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   DNP is not a clinical degree. It's a nursing practice degree. There's a difference. When you finish NP school at the MSN level, you're expected to be competent to practice. If you want to enhance your...

3. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

   Angeljho replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Yes, the AMA is also going after PAs. I agree that NP education could be more rigorous, but the AMA would still be targeting NPs regardless. CRNA and PA education are both more rigorous, yet the AMA...

4. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

   Angeljho replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I don't see the DNP becoming more clinically focused because it's not a degree for only NPs. I think all these different pathways can be confusing, but DNP programs with NP tracks are still two...

5. DNP NECESSARY????

   Angeljho replied to TheFuture09's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   I am currently in a DNP program, and I'm doing it for two reasons: 1) My own professional development 2) Remain competitive in the far future since schools are pushing out NPs/DNPs like...

6. HUGE step forward for NP's!!!

   Angeljho replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I 100% agree. The work I do is very demanding, and I often leave for home after hours (no overtime) and burned out. I love what I do, but I also want to be fairly

7. Unhappy and stressed as NP- seeking advice.

   Angeljho replied to hm0225's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I'm in psych, but at times I also feel the pressure of being fully responsible for someone's care and making clinical decisions. If I'm unsure about anything, I go to the MDs or more experienced NPs...

8. Do you mentor/precept med students and residents?

   Angeljho posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Med students and residents (only first and second yr residents) rotate through our clinical site and they're paired with a different provider every day, either MD or NP. Just wondering if this is...

9. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

   Angeljho replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   This is common. I was the first NP at the practice I currently work at and the MDs had no clue what I could and couldn't do. They also didn't know what required close supervision and what didn't....

10. PMHNP prescribing questions

    Angeljho replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work in a psych clinic. I do prescribe docusate, glycopyrrolate, etc, especially for clozapine related side effects. I will also prescribe meds like propranolol if needed. I will NOT prescribe...

11. How do you deal with patients who don't want to be seen by an NP?

    Angeljho posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Of course this question depends on practice setting, practice culture, etc, but how do you typically deal with

12. DNP vs MSN

    Angeljho replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The way I see it, the DNP is a waste of time. There is no incentive to pursuing one other then a feeling of self accomplishment. As a new NP, I'm seen as an attending with a full caseload. Meanwhile,...

13. Is getting your DNP worth it?

    Angeljho replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This is an interesting topic. While I do agree that DNPs introducing themselves as Dr. Jane Doe without context could be confusing to patients in the hospital setting, I think the appropriate solution...

14. PMHNP review books?

    Angeljho replied to JordanRobersonNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Board vitals did help when it came to learning the material in-depth (the explanations for the answers are amazing), but the questions aren't worded the same as the actual exam. The board vitals...

15. PMHNP review books?

    Angeljho replied to JordanRobersonNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As far as review books go, I used Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Review and Resource Manual, 4th Edition. The other resources I used were: - Boardvitals - Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse...
