  1. Common Nursing Complaints & Psych NP's - Not As Bad?

    myelin replied to SmoothJams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would also love to hear from practicing Psych NPs as well! I am starting my direct entry program this summer and will be graduating as a family psych NP in 2015... I'm hoping that the economy will...

  5. Psych NP

    myelin replied to srwilkinson2002's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So you're both a psych CNS and NP? That's interesting. What made you go back and get the Psych NP on top of the CNS degree? Did you find serious differences in the

  6. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

    myelin replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    this. this this this this this. whenever I read about how someone is looking for a MSN/DNP program where they can get the degree in their spare time while they're working full time, I seriously...

  7. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

    myelin replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think anyone is saying that RN experience doesn't count or isn't useful, just that people from other backgrounds have a lot to offer as

  8. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    myelin replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    good luck with your decision, KKandes. I had the most impossible time trying to decide between programs. It's really difficult, I feel ya. Anyway, not sure why I'm in this thread, since I'm not going...

  9. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

    myelin replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey Nursel56, I appreciate your comments. Usually, when people make disparaging remarks about NPs w/o RN experience I get all frustrated, but you've provided some interesting context for your...

  10. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

    myelin replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NPs and PAs are both healthcare providers that can assess, diagnose, and treat health conditions (including prescribing). How much physician supervision they need varies. PAs must always be...

  11. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

    myelin replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yup, family psych NP. It's not for everyone, but I come from a clinical psychology background, so it's the perfect fit for me. I feel like there's a huge need for good psychiatric providers who want...

  12. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

    myelin replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interesting take. I am going to a direct entry NP program, and I really appreciate everyone's opinions on this issue. My situation is a little odd, though, in that I already have assessment and...

  13. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree, I'm thinking HRSA loan forgiveness is what I'm going to look for. I hope tuition doesn't go up! Although, like thuyd, I was accepted to Penn as well (and almost went). The tuition for UCSF...

    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ooh, I like the idea of living in Mission Bay for the first year. Also, the parking rate is really reasonable! I think I'm definitely going to apply for a bedroom in a 4

    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who is wondering where the other MEPNs are! I know our class is smaller this year, but still, our facebook group is so small. I like the idea about having Steven get the...

  17. Accelerated and Direct Entry MSN / NP programs

    myelin replied to Quickowit's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You might want to check out the post graduate nursing forum under students. There are a lot of threads there for the various DE programs (UCSF, Yale, Columbia, etc.) You should be able to glean a lot...

  19. NPs practicing as DRs

    myelin replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think we disagree, necessarily. I also think the DNP as entry to advanced practice is untenable. I just think that for-profit programs are also really, really horrible for the

  20. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    myelin replied to myelin's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I also should post that I officially turned down my acceptance to Penn. That opens up a spot for someone for the psych specialty. Good

  21. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    myelin replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, we start class on the 18th, I believe. This means that orientation will be the week prior, according to the person I spoke with at

  22. NPs practicing as DRs

    myelin replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ugh... I think if we want to be respected as a profession, the first thing to do is get rid of professional and for-profit programs that have minimal standards, like U of Phoenix. Like I've said...

  23. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    myelin replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This actually isn't true. Once you control for gender differences, PA and NP pay are equivalent. In other words, a male PA and NP make the same money, same for a female PA and NP. The fact that far...

    I officially have accepted my spot at UCSF! To those of you on the waitlist, good luck! I know it can be a grueling process. If anyone hasn't joined the FB group, here's the link: Log In |
