  1. How does becoming an APN work as far as picking a specialty?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to curioustwo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi cardio357, I did an Adult NP program with CNS concentration in cardiac health and disease management. 90% of my clinical time was focused on caring for cardiac patients. I spent over 400 hours...

  2. NP Salary (independent practice vs. nonindependent)

    Cardiology EP NP replied to caffeineRx's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes I too would also be interested in finding out more about NP Peeon. Bring it on!

  3. Have patients here ever refused service from you for being an NP?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is a very interesting point. I have actually seen this happen before in a pediatrics office, but it was a long time ago, almost 10 years ago. Sad to say, many people still don't know what NPs...

  4. NP Salary (independent practice vs. nonindependent)

    Cardiology EP NP replied to caffeineRx's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think Dave's post said it all. Also, I think if you were going to practice independently, I would keep in mind that you might have to work more hours initially and work harder in the beginning to...

  5. Waiting for AANP to respond

    Cardiology EP NP replied to dbb37128's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went though the ANCC and it took them about 8 weeks to process my application. Yes, I can understand your frustration. I was also very frustrated while waiting from the ANCC too. It's hard to study...

  6. NP Salary vs. RN salary

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Health-Nut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will give it to you straight. When I was an RN, I reached exactly $29.00 per hour base pay (no differentials) with three years of experience. Yes, that's peanuts. And I worked about 20 minutes just...

  7. NP school or pharmacy

    Cardiology EP NP replied to rapidash425's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's a hard decision to make. Both careers are excellent with great job prospects. I wouldn't do NP and then pharmacy school. I would pick one career or the other. Both careers are very different from...

  8. NP Salary vs. RN salary

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Health-Nut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes it really does depend on what are area of the country you work in. New york and san fran nurses get paid well. But honestly nursing out here in Chicago isn't the best. The working conditions are...

  9. NP or MD?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to RNnurse07's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is so interesting...so this week, after spending a day in the clinic working along side an EP fellow, she says, "I hate my job. If you know of anyone who wants to go to med school, tell them, no,...

  10. Scared to start a real NP job

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Dixiecup's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I love the massage idea...I get massages and they are great! So, just take a real deep breath and...relax....ahhhh...isn't that better? First I would just focus on studying and passing your exam....

  11. Am I making a mistake going for my NP???

    Cardiology EP NP replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would say if this is something that you could see yourself doing long-term, then I would totally go for the administration track. NP school is a lot of work, not to mention many clinical hours. I...

  12. Was getting the NP the right choice for you?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to guineachick's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes it was the right choice for me. I couldn't be happier. So relieved to be off the floor and be able to work normal hours and live a regular life. It was totally worth the time, money, energy and...

  13. Worth it to go to DNP school?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to LiLoRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the job market is still good for NPs, some areas of the US are better than others. It's funny you should mention Florida. I actually had a recruiter from Florida tried to recruit me to work...

  14. Adult nursespractioner

    Cardiology EP NP replied to berta411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I took the ANP exam several months ago. I thought it was a complex exam. Have you taken an a review course? Are you reviewing from some different review books such as Fitzgerald or Leik? I would focus...

  15. How does becoming an APN work as far as picking a specialty?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to curioustwo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes your specialty is what you make of your education when you do clinicals. So most NP programs are pretty general and geared toward primary care. Now, if you want to specialize, that's fine. You...

  16. Direct Entry Masters, NP Graduates

    Cardiology EP NP replied to ntw523's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with the above poster. I did a direct entry masters program, then got a job as an RN and got accepted to NP school and started NP school 6 months after I graduated from a direct entry masters...

  17. Did I fail my 5 NP job interviews somehow?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    First off, I want to applaud you on having a resume that has landed you 5 interviews! That's awesome! It goes to show that employers are seriously considering you as a candidate and that's great!...

  18. Applying to the nurse practitioner program right after BSN

    Cardiology EP NP replied to rlhtsvm's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I actually applied to NP school before I was done with my nursing program. I did a general masters program and before I was even done, I sent in my application to NP school, which was very welcomed by...

  19. what experience needed for a new Adult NP to be hired?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Grnrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't recommend home care if you are going to be an NP unless you would do it very part time. I would recommend working in a hospital. I just really think that the things you learn in the acute...

  20. Advice from experienced RNs please!!!!

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Since you are almost done with your BSN program, I wouldn't recommend dropping out. I would finish it out and get your RN and then if you decide you want to go to med school, you can do that. I think...

  21. Coumadin, yes or no?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, greenfield filter is the way to go right now, BUT I still think he should be on an anticoagulant to prevent further clots from forming just based on his hx. We might fix the problem for now, but...

  22. What kind of experience before FNP?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am curious as to know what type of integrative medicine/care you are considering? I think it would be important to know that when deciding on what type of experiencing you will be pursuing before NP...

  23. Transitioning into first FNP job....any tips?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to carachel2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My NP orientation and training has been very minimal as well. My second day I shadowed a doc for two whole hours. The very next day, I started taking my own patients. And yes, it was like here is the...

  24. help with trying to decide on ANP or FNP

    Cardiology EP NP replied to odinhoub2422's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I believe there are NPs that work in cosmetic surgery and weight management. However, I have never heard of NPs working in optometry, but I guess there could be, given the right experience. I would...

  25. Please Help, please help!!

    Cardiology EP NP replied to raindrop's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As a geriatric NP, I believe you will be very marketable. I did an ANP program and those are frowned upon as well because again, they say, "FNP is more marketable". Well, I have to say, I am SO glad I...
