  1. FNP to PMHNP

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

    I also agree that you should go for PMHNP if you really want to treat psych patients. As a FNP, you're not going to be trained in very much other than basic psych, it's a separate specialty. Also,...

  2. NHSC-Anyone with experience??

    myelin replied to megank5183's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just applied for HRSA (the scholarship, not the loan repayment program) with this logic in mind. We'll see what happens. It's frustrating, because I joined this field with the intention to serve the...

  3. Just how do we find preceptors?

    myelin replied to ChristineN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Programs not supplying the clinical training is a huge problem. Where is the quality control? How does the university even know if you learned anything or if your preceptor could teach? Just because...

  4. NHSC-Anyone with experience??

    myelin replied to megank5183's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Dixiecup, I'm curious, what was your clinic's score? In a presentation about NHSC, they informed us that nothing under 16 received funding last

  5. NHSC-Anyone with experience??

    myelin replied to megank5183's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Psych qualifies. Even though it is considered a "primary care" program, psych is listed as a specialty for NPs who want loan repayment through this program. And yes, I've heard this program is getting...

  6. He Says/ She says, Who's in Charge?

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

    This is such an important point. You are not a martyr and a job is a job. Get out and save your

  7. Just how do we find preceptors?

    myelin replied to ChristineN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is how I feel. If students stopped attending these programs, this wouldn't be an

  8. Disappearing direct entry msn?

    myelin replied to legal->nurse2b's topic in Post Graduate Students

    ?? Direct entry programs are NP programs. There is a pre-licensure portion, but then once the student is a licensed RN they continue (often seamlessly) on to the NP portion and are licensed NPs upon...

  9. purpose of PhD in nursing??

    myelin replied to l33tnewb11's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm 99% certain this is a troll thread, but here's a link to all the fake research being done by nurses and affiliates at UCSF. What a pretend field! Look at these nurses with their fake PhDs - who do...

  10. New York NP's

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Cool. It seems like these bills are spreading like wildfire... NY, CA, NV, MI... anyone know of any other states with similar legislation being proposed? I wonder how many will

  11. He Says/ She says, Who's in Charge?

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

    It sounds like you are putting your license at risk by staying. I know you care for your patients, but what good can you do them if you end up going down with the ship and losing your license? It...

  12. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm sorry, but I don't understand how 5 years of ICU experience (compared with other kinds of nursing experience or even a new grad) translates to higher quality FNPs that work in outpatient settings...

  13. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you have any actual evidence that demonstrates that these laws protect patients? I ask because, as has already been made very clear, these laws vary widely. How does chart review two times a year...

  14. NP current and future job perspective

    myelin replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    agree. In the bay area the job market is an absolute nightmare for RNs, but not as bad for

  15. NP current and future job perspective

    myelin replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Really, really depends on where you live. If you are willing to relocate, there are jobs. I'd argue that in this economy, the NP market is actually pretty damn good, especially if you compare it to...

  16. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Glide is fantastic, and it's owned and run by NPs, though there are MDs on staff. It has a FNP residency, as

  17. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that no novice NPs should open up an independent practice, that's just a recipe for disaster. If we want to improve NP practice then I think we should require more hours of NP training and...

  18. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Heh. New Mexico has had NP independent practice for over 20 years and the world has yet to collapse in on itself. I lived in an independent practice state and knew NPs who had independent practices...

  19. California NP's

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interesting. A step

  20. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think a lot of the opposition in this thread is coming from a very idealized notion of MD and NP supervision in practice. The reality is that most MD supervision/collaboration varies widely across...

  21. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No one is saying you're not allowed to disagree, so I don't know why you keep trying to tell people to read the terms of service. Please point out the specific limitations with the studies (ps. all...

  22. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    myelin replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is such a poorly formed argument I don't know where to begin. Your comparison makes no sense, because the relation between a legal assistant and a lawyer is not at all analogous to the relation...

  23. FNP in a non-clinical position

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

    I've heard forensics/becoming an expert witness can be very interesting (and

  24. Is getting an MSN worth it?

    myelin replied to jensfbay's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would not apply for a graduate degree without a good idea of what your career goals are AND how that degree will get you

  25. Salary and pay question for new NP

    myelin replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    that's terrible pay for an RN, though! 18-19/hr?? Are you in the
