  1. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    myelin replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The only study done on the subject found that RN experience did not contribute to NP competency. I know many on this website think that their personal pathway is the only viable one, but direct entry...

  2. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner...please help

    myelin replied to ex1140's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The market for psychologists is extremely saturated, thanks to many degree mills (Argosy, Antioch, and the like). PMHNPs are paid more and go to school for half the time... and there are more jobs. It...

  3. Direct Entry Programs- Does ranking really matter??

    myelin replied to meep05's topic in Advanced Practice

    I wouldn't pay to attend a program that didn't provide my clinical education. I just don't understand how some programs get away with

  4. advice for becoming a nurse practitioner

    myelin replied to Mkim680's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd apply to a direct entry psych NP program (this is what I did). I agree with the previous poster, as far as I can tell, being a psych NP is pretty different from most other nursing

  5. 2013 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    myelin replied to serahfarron's topic in Post Graduate Students

    For those of you guys who want to get more MEPNs to join your facebook group, email SJ (don't want to say his name on here because it's against TOS I guess) and ask him to email the group link to the...

  6. How do you respond to a patient asking about an advertised drug.

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

    huh? Shouldn't a NP perfectly be able to explain why or why not a drug is appropriate for a given pt's

  7. Will you get a job not matter what school you received NP degree?

    myelin replied to sav3alif3RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why are nurses so scared of the GRE? Not applying to a good program because you have an issue with the GRE is ridiculous. It's just a test. I see posts like this all the time "oh well, X program wants...

  8. implications of a Certificate RN or BSN for future of NPs?

    myelin replied to DizzyD25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm confused. They're both direct entry masters programs, but one offers a BSN at completion and the other one offers only a certificate and no degree whatsoever? Or do you mean on completion of the...

  9. Straight from BSN to NP and maturity

    myelin replied to priorities2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know many people who always thought they would go back for their masters (or whatever) but never did because life/kids/family/etc. got in the way. If you're in the space where you can go get your...

  10. Podiatry resident to DNP

    myelin replied to BuffyTheSlayer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Since you're already in a lot of debt, the NP route confers you significant advantage, since you can go part-time which could help you to and avoid taking out more loans. To save money, I'd do an ADN...

  11. Inclusive list of direct-entry PMHNP programs?

    myelin replied to blondielocks's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UCSF, Yale, and U of Rochester also have

  12. Facebook notification

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

    I understand not wanting to "friend" a student and have them see your personal profile, but is it a problem to have a student like your music page? Is it that you don't want them coming to a

  13. PMHNPs - also doing primary care?

    myelin posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi everyone, I have a quick question. I was meeting with a student who is in the PMHNP MSN program that I am due to start next fall, and she made some interesting comments. She basically said that...

  14. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    myelin replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Harmonizer, I'm curious, do you mind sharing what region you're practicing in (or PMing me) that is so

  15. Psych nurse practitioner

    myelin replied to bumblebeegaga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you so much for the support and advice, Miss PsychNP! I know I'm fairly early in my studies to be thinking this far ahead, but I can't help it. It sounds like I should relax, because there seem...

  16. What is the job market like for new NPs?

    myelin replied to tejon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it really depends on the area. I'm in a direct entry program in CA and our grads don't really have problems getting hired, but it depends on the specialty. I'm in psych, and it seems like...

  17. NP licensure in multiple states?

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

    That's great to hear, thank

  18. NP licensure in multiple states?

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

    Very interesting. I will most likely sit for my RN-NCLEX and NP boards in CA, but will probably look to practice outside CA (thinking WA or OR) as a NP. Maybe I should look into how the licenses...

  19. NP licensure in multiple states?

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

    What is the process of getting licensed in another state? Is it just fees and

  20. Petition to help new grads get experience

    myelin replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree that the struggles of this field are not unique. Many, many fields are having a hard time right now and young professionals with fresh degrees/licenses are struggling across the board. In...

  21. Petition to help new grads get experience

    myelin replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it's prudent for more experienced RNs to remember that this is the worst recession since the Great Depression and getting a job as a new grad is probably much more difficult today than it was...

  22. Straight from BSN to NP and maturity

    myelin replied to priorities2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's such a personal decision it's really only you who can decide. I've met very seasoned RNs who were quite immature, very thoughtful and introspective new grads, etc. As far as I can tell, a new...

  23. Question for Psych NPs/CNSs about 2013 code changes

    myelin posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been reading a lot about the new 2013 code changes for psychiatry and I was wondering if any psych advanced practice nurses have thoughts? I assume that psych NPs/CNSs will use these new codes,...

  24. Psych nurse practitioner

    myelin replied to bumblebeegaga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you Miss PsychNP for the reply. What you're doing sounds exactly like what I'd hope to achieve at some point in my career, though I plan on working as a psych NP only for several years (pay down...

  25. Psych nurse practitioner

    myelin replied to bumblebeegaga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wow, this thread is full of really interesting comments and info. Miss PsychNP, what prompted you to earn the FNP cert on top of psych? Did you get sick of psych or was is that you wanted to address...
