  5. Where can acute care pediatric nps practice

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks ArmaniX. Sometimes I feel that the NP role has been broken down into too many specialties? I've been an NP for almost 8 years and it's crazy how I'm confused about this. Even the descriptions...

  7. Hand off

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to b747girl5's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the new nurse jitters. I can relate because it was hard for me to give report when I was a new nurse. After 2 months, you are still a fairly new nurse and still learning of course. It can...

  8. Asking For A Raise

    Dr.Naija_Glam posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been at my current job for almost a year, and my yearly evaluation is coming up. I'm wanting to ask for a $6,000 dollar raise because I have had to take on a few duties that weren't discussed in...

  9. Asking For A Raise

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi flowingoan! It's a good idea to review asthma and cf. Also become familiar with spirometry and pulm meds. Will you be reviewing chest x-rays? If so, I'm sure your employer will have you shadow with...

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jules, based on your advice, I decided to ask for 10K more instead of 6K.......and my manager agreed!!!! I gave a thorough rationale as to why I deserved the raise. Thank you for your

  11. Asking For A Raise

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for your input Jules, I have NP friends, but we don't work in the same organization. We are open with our salaries. The NPs I do work with aren't very open in regards to salary unfortunately. I...

  12. Feeling guilty..

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    It's good that you're thinking ahead. Be sure that you are aware of your current jobs policy on giving notice. Most jobs want 2 weeks, but some want 3 weeks or more. You need to know this anyway, so...

  13. Why did you pick your NP Program?

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I chose my program because I would be awarded an MSN and DNP once completed. I also chose it because it was accredited. Thinking back on it, the program was costly, but I feel that it was well worth...

  14. How to get DOT certificate

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to xiaobear007's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Where I work, the time allotted for the visit is 1 hr. It usually doesn't take me that long since most pts are healthy. With paperwork included, it takes me about 20-30 minutes to do a DOT physical....

  15. Working for the VA

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to grammynp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree with Jules A. I know that the VA doesn't offer the highest salaries around, but I do know ones salary offer depends on years of experience, certifications, etc. I'm not sure which VA you...

  17. Other student needs too much help

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    I'll always help some if I can. Let me repeat that, if I can! I'm not going to spend my time helping someone I feel isn't getting the material. It's your instructors job to make sure she understands...

  18. Is my nursing school reputable? Job outlook? La Salle University

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Students

    A pass rate of 64% is too low in my opinion. I know the number of graduates in the class determines the pass rate, but I wouldn't consider attending a nursing school with a pass

  19. To tell or not to tell!

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Things are getting real up in this thread lol! Seriously though OP, I would let this go at least for now. Since you are in orientation you are new to the unit, and reporting every little thing you see...

  20. ANCC FNP exam results

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to SharlynA's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was told that for the ANCC FNP there would be a Pass or Fail on the screen at the end of the test. However, my screen just went black. I had to wait for the test proctor to print out my results...

  21. Nurse Practitioner

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to jessco88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There was a proposal in 2004 by the AACN for the DNP to be the terminal degree for APRNs. In my area, most of the universities have d/c their MSN programs and only have DNP programs. Of course there...

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to ashonman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to OnlinePersona's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting stories, l will add one. On the unit where I worked, a particular nurse and CNA never got along. Both kept accusing the other of being lazy. One night, an argument occurred between the...

  25. Failed AANP 2014

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to ally459's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with BostonFNP in that ANCC has more topics in its exam. However, if you study hard for it you have a good chance of passing. I find your experience with the AANP exam very strange. You're...
