  1. Little experience as an RN

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

    One research study has been done. It found that RN experience did not contribute to NP competence, as measured by MDs and NPs themselves. Everything else is

  2. Derm NP to Psych NP?

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

    I don't get it. As an FNP the only way to become a psych NP is to go back to school and get your PMHNP cert. Anything else is going to open you up to being sued. Yeah, FNPs get trained in a little...

  3. 2014 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    myelin replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do not stress about finding an NP job after MEPN. Every single member of the psych NP class that just graduated in June 2013 had an NP job prior to graduation. Granted, psych is an extremely in demand...

  4. Little experience as an RN

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

    There are many NPs out there who have no hospital experience, some don't even work as RNs before becoming NPs at

  5. FNP Program - Finding Preceptors

    myelin replied to SirJohnny's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's because students choose to attend these programs. If students only attended programs that provided preceptors (these exist), then these programs wouldn't be able to get away with providing...

  6. Dermatology vs Retail Health????

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

    great point. I don't understand why everyone is so afraid to negotiate! The worse they can say is no, it's not like they're going to take away the

  7. Negotiating pay; Did you?

    myelin replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Always negotiate! I recently negotiated a union position that they initially stated could not be negotiated. I didn't get a lot more, but I did get more than what was initially

  8. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

    myelin replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Since 75k is what they posted, you should definitely ask for higher than that. They always lowball the posted salary. Good

  9. Getting an interview. This is harder than i thought..

    myelin replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It must depend on where you live and your specialty. My program just told us the entire PMHNP class that graduated this June all had jobs lined up prior to

  10. FNP online? and questions about becoming NP

    myelin replied to lovenursingRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Honestly, the roles of a FNP and CRNA are very, very different. If your heart is set on CRNA then I don't see how being a FNP would satisfy your career

  11. Affordable Care Act- How it affects NPs

    myelin replied to ickc22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, usually psych is under primary

  12. Affordable Care Act- How it affects NPs

    myelin replied to ickc22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Woah! So an independent practice NP can expect to make closer to the equivalent of what a physician makes? This is interesting. I know I don't plan on going independent when I first graduate, but 5-10...

  13. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    I don't think they give preference to MSN students, they just shifted funds so that RN students get half the funding and NP students get the other half. I am a NP student and a

  16. Are NP online degree frowned upon?

    myelin replied to ickc22's topic in Advanced Practice

    So do people who attend night school at a third tier law school as those who attend Stanford or even the state school. It doesn't make that third tier school the sudden equivalent of those other...

  18. Are NP online degree frowned upon?

    myelin replied to ickc22's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yeah, I have to agree, the idea that selectivity doesn't matter is a bizarre phenomenon I have only seen on this forum. In every other field, top universities are at the top for a reason, they attract...

  19. Are NP online degree frowned upon?

    myelin replied to ickc22's topic in Advanced Practice

    Also, Walden's 96% acceptance rate is from US News and World Report, a very credible source. It is currently "unranked", which says a lot....

  20. Are NP online degree frowned upon?

    myelin replied to ickc22's topic in Advanced Practice

    There is a reason why nursing doesn't get the same respect as medicine, law, and other disciplines. These kinds of schools are a huge part of that reason. I would not want a surgeon who went to a...

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    From what I've read, this is what the timeline sounds like to me: I believe they mean that those who have gotten the "congratulations" email will be officially notified by the end of August. They may...

    Now that's what I like to hear!! Thanks for posting this.

  23. HRSA Nurse Corps Pros/Cons

    myelin replied to binggrad's topic in General Students

    I'm willing to relocate and I'm going to be a psych NP (lots of jobs in this area), so I'm not too worried. I am a bit worried, since it is a risk, but it seems like it works out for most people,...

  24. PA-C thinking of an APRN degree

    myelin replied to lkgarn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Consider Excelsior, however, double check that your state recognizes it (many do not) and that the NP program you wish to attend will also accept an Excelsior grad. Best of luck to you. I was torn...

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    Thank you. The nurse corps scholarship is far more favorable, though the other scholarship is better than nothing. Here's hoping everyone starts hearing back
