  1. Fastest Nurse Practitioner (NP) Programs | 2025

    angel337 commented on Melissa Mills's program in Nursing Programs: Explore Your Options

    I totally agree. NPs are bashed constantly for being subpar due to the education tracks and diploma mill schools. We can't expect to be regarded as competent healthcare providers if our education is...

  2. Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

    angel337 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nothing surprises me. I think the face of professionalism in politics has definitely changed. Clearly there isn't much of a standard based on what we see day in and day out. That being said, if...

  3. Nursing with little to no hands on patient contact? More critical thinking?

    angel337 replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    You have plenty of hands on experience to qualify for a indirect patient contact job. Go to indeed and search case management, disease management, utilization review etc. Or just search the job board...

  4. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

    angel337 replied to LJewelsAPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I perform visits. I do not work by the hour. I have already met the

  5. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

    angel337 replied to LJewelsAPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    No. Its 1000 clinical hours within 5 years for recertification. I will have plenty. I like my ft job. I had no interest in being in a clinic setting seeing 40 pts a day. Also my clinical background...

  6. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

    angel337 replied to LJewelsAPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I went to Maryville post graduate adult geriatric primary care NP program. I personally thought it was fine. We had live content review via webex with our instructors. All exams are proctored. I felt...

  7. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    angel337 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have always worked with male nurses (over 15 years). I personally have not seen any mistreatment. I think that male nurses are highly respected and if anything they have a major advantage over...

  8. bring back diploma they can function on graduation

    angel337 replied to Susan Boff's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I teach BSN clinicals and I always tell students an additional year of clinical would be paramount to their overall success. The curriculum is too much for the expectation. More clinical time would...

  9. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    angel337 replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree. Employers want the 3 for 1 special hoping to work you like a dog doing the work of 3 people. Being that nursing is female dominated. most women naturally want to assist where they can, but...

  10. Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    angel337 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    One word...horrible. I'm so tired of these stories, they bring me to tears. Tired of people treating AAs less than human. People treat animals better. Minorities are just like everyone else. How would...

  11. Long hours/no life

    angel337 replied to Camino77's topic in Case Management

    You are not crazy to want work life balance. They know many nurses want the no weekends, no holiday schedules that the typical insurance job has, so when one nurse leaves its not hard to fill the...

  12. Nursing instructor gave a Warning for being late to first day of clinicals despite emailing her? What should I do?

    angel337 replied to faithandfood's topic in General Students

    Of course you would not lose your license. The instructor in my opinion is just doing her job. She wants you to take the career seriously. I am a clinical instructor and I look at the overall...

  13. Help! Not sure which unit to choose.

    angel337 replied to foxhoundma's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You need to get experience. I honestly don't think either unit is necessarily better than the next. Narrow it down to schedule. I had a similar opportunity as a new grad and chose emergency room...

  14. Anybody else feel this way?

    angel337 replied to Rocketskates's topic in General Nursing

    Other professions require at minimum a bachelor's degree. I don't think nursing should be any different. I've been a nurse for 14 years and was always annoyed with "nurses only have a 2 year degree??"...

  15. New Grad NP

    angel337 replied to keeslove3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would rather invest in a job that has a need for full time employees.Also as another poster said, working 2 jobs is too much. You are no longer an RN hustling on the side for extra income. Do that...

  16. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    angel337 replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congratulations. Very positive,refreshing thread. The 100s of negative nurse postings will make anyone question if they should pursue this

  17. Aggressive family member

    angel337 replied to Jerez's topic in General Nursing

    Was this the first stick? I didn't read all the comments yet. I only ask because as someone else suggested it's good to have another person with you if possible ..tech or another nurse for support. So...

  18. Thinking of giving up FNP program

    angel337 replied to Guest838984's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I hear this consistently. Being treated like a professional goes a long

  19. Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    angel337 replied to Mtng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know this is an old post, but maybe the barrier is that you cannot envision the care that is needed to provide quality care to patients. When I was in nursing school 16 yrs ago, you had to retake...

  20. NP being used as an RN

    angel337 replied to Adam18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They need to stop being cheap and hire a RN immediately. If you were not there, they would have no choice. They can use a nurse agency. the stories are endless of how organizations want to double...

  21. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    angel337 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have seen graduates from DE online programs receive offers quickly while some high ranking brick and mortar graduates struggled for over a year before finding a position. Many things factor in...

  22. AANP FNP (Failed -> Passed!)

    angel337 replied to FNP-SA's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree. So many people fail the first time. Facebook has a aanp/ancc support group and the amount of people that fail the first time seems really high compared to what I hear. Although the review...

  23. What happened to all the Walden Haters?

    angel337 replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with you and unfortunately since being an NP is the hot career right now, even the schools that have decent reputations are making their students find their own preceptors due to not being...

  24. Graduated Four years ago

    angel337 replied to Mimimouse03's topic in Nurse Registration

    Can you take classes again? Maybe not the prerequisites but the core nursing classes. I thought after so many attempts it was required to go back to nursing school. I could be wrong, but you should be...

  25. RNs Don't Help CNAs

    angel337 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I agree with you. Unfortunately this issue in nursing will never end. I've worked on both sides, there is always room for
