  2. Steps to become ER NP?

    allennp replied to rachelcourtemanche's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree here, it's going to be harder to work in a ER. Emergency residencies at pushing out more Board trained MD's and I personally know of three ER' that are phasing out NP's and PA's as they have...

    allennp replied to jwelch0715's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, brick and Mortar, and I am faculty Associate in same, honestly am not comfortable with a lot of online programs as they have no ability to offer community connections, and learning that I think a...

  4. HELP!! Previous reprimand?

    allennp replied to jwelch0715's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Each state is a touch different but if a "complaint" was against your license then it will show. If it was resolved it might show as closed/resolved and sort of a non issue. I know a NP friend who had...

  5. Nurse Practioner Vs. Physician Assistant

    allennp replied to bookworm33's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, am glad I am aNP. - I work with some great PA's, great NP's, I also think PA's get a touch more technical skills in school, at first that may be helpful, but a year or two out it all blends...

  6. I&D and MRSA

    allennp replied to JDCitizen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    allennp replied to danceluver's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. Emergency Nurse Practitioner ENP-BC

    allennp replied to MedictoRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am sort of in process with it. I am little confused though. I had been selected as a "expert content examiner" for this and had been invited to join them ..... I think this week in DC, to determine...

  9. Is ANCC easier than AANP?

    allennp replied to JenDandy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Jendandy, I will be kindly harsh here. So you want to be responsible for the health of others, be taken as a credible independent provider and that is how you prepare? You can cram for exams.....that...

  10. Relatively New FNP in Urgent Care Setting

    allennp replied to DuncanBella2012's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with BC caution. I would look into the type of patient population and procedures you are expected to do. I take a bit of curious caution though with her reference to working within your scope...

    allennp posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is a question for any NP on this board that works in radiology or free standing ED/UC if you know one could you forward this question to them. or PM me with their contact info. Concerning...

  12. How soon do you arrive at office

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

    I often get in 30 min or earlier before I am starting to see pt's. Finish paperwork, check labs the staff has sent me. Maybe followup on a pt I am worried about. Yes, I am able to bill the clinic for...

  13. Questions for Current NPs

    allennp replied to JesseMJ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You know this issue of cranking out NP's I think is a issue. I question the quality of graduate, particularly when concerning the programs that fast track them thru with out RN experience. Even those...

  14. NP VS. PA salary

    allennp replied to Lovanurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most of the time there is no difference...... But I am aware of institutions that the NP's are forced in the RN nursing union and paid on a much lower pay scale as a result, rather than the PA's who...

  15. Questions for Current NPs

    allennp replied to JesseMJ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As with everything it depends..... There are a number of psych np positions open here in the PNW, and I have a couple of friends who are psych np in their own practice. I would question though deep...

  16. Questions for Current NPs

    allennp replied to JesseMJ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Humbly I might suggest that though the letters behind your name suggest academic success, in the world you need to be smart , bright and a little brave. I am none of these mind you and have just been...

    allennp replied to wakeupnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

  19. Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta, GA

    allennp replied to beanwiles's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Grady is a hoot! If you work there it will be one of the best learning jobs you will have. It's chaos, love and teamwork, as well as some of the worst and best professional behavior you will observe....

  20. Urgent care clinics

    allennp replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not aware of groups preferring ACNP over FNP. What is important is that you can see kids so FNP rather than ANP is important. UC vs a fast track or ED is a good question and is more relevant...

  21. Antibiotic help, please!

    allennp replied to lvICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sanford guide for iPad I am in a free standing UC, 30,000 pt yr , often alone and have learned lots of resources, I think the Sanford guide for iPad is a lifesaver. almost worth the price of the iPad...

  23. NP salary too low?

    allennp replied to abcdefg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    THis has always bugged me and other NP's I know. I work side by side with DO's and MD's, do the EXACT same job and though I get paid pretty well 125kplus I know they make more than me. Part of the...

    allennp replied to NeuroNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  25. Any male NP's out there?

    allennp replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yes, my humble understanding is that WA state is one of the more progressive states for allowing patients access to medical care. AZ I understand also is similar as is a number of other states. Sun is...
