  1. Protocol for resigning

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

    Does your job have an employee manual that describes the resignation procedure? I recently resigned from a job and have started a new one. It was a large organization that had its employee manual...

  2. Giving notice when changing jobs

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to jennylynn_1983's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was curious about this and looked up my job's rules for notice. 2 weeks notice is required for all

  3. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

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

    Ding ding ding that's why^^^^^ I also believe that that APN programs should provide preceptors. However, it all comes down to the almighty dollar. Many programs are accepting all of the students...

  4. ANP to FNP

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

    There are many schools that offer post-MSN certificates (PMC)for FNP. Specifically, the University of Missouri-Kansas City will give a PMC for FNP though I think it's online. Look online, I'm sure...

  5. Best Cell Phone for Practitioners

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to lemur87's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm an android girl. I got an iiphone 5 once and hated that I could only use Apple products with it. I prefer a large screen as well so I went to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. You should consider your...

  6. Doctorate vs MSN

    Dr.Naija_Glam posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My job recently implemented a pay scale that offers APRNs with doctorates 5%-15% pay raises than APRNs with an MSN. There are levels from NP I- NP IV. Each level depends on years of experence,...

  7. Doctorate vs MSN

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

    Thank you for your thoughts. It's not surprising to me either, but it is to some APRNs at my job who have decades of experience. The main argument is that their many years of experience should be...

  8. Doctorate vs MSN

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

    Yes it is a large organization. Sorry for the delay. It is a pediatric hospital with clinics and many specialties. There's a APRNs in every specialty. Clinical Nurse Specialists are employed as well...

  9. Last minute clinical hours emergency!

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to megank5183's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's unfortunate that you won't get the full hours with the first preceptor, but remember it could always be worse. What if she couldn't offer any hours? I would just ask all of the psychiatrists you...

  10. Too many online NP programs

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

    I think online programs are great :)!!! Lol, this is because I completed my FNP program online. I passed the ANCC boards, just as some who went to a B&M program. I felt that I was well prepared to...

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  12. Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is hilarious!! I'll add a story. One day when I was still on the floor as an RN, another nurse had floated to the unit. Our floor had many GI patients, and this nurse came from a cardiac...

  13. Letters after name? FNP, APRN, etc

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

    As previously mentioned, every state has an official title for NPs. ARNP, CNP, etc. After I passed my FNP exam, the ANCC sent me a pamphlet on how to list degrees, certifications, credentials and what...

  14. A dual degree of FNP & ACPNP smart?

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to mtg0884's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Zmansc when you say three licenses for CRNA/NP does that mean one for CRNA, one for NP, and then the RN license? While a FNP/CNM has one for the APN license and their RN license? I'm curious because...

  15. A dual degree of FNP & ACPNP smart?

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to mtg0884's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Zmansc from what I understand if you want to be certified as an ACNP and FNP you do have to take both exams once the program is completed. Yes, if you are licensed as an ACNP you would have to...

  16. A dual degree of FNP & ACPNP smart?

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to mtg0884's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think doing a dual program is very smart. You get two specialties done at one time. If your interested in being able to work in primary and acute care, that track is the way to go. I have a cousin...

  17. Frustration...

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

    Oh Miss PsychNP, I do feel your pain. Your post is all over the place, but I get a sense of where this is coming from. I can empathize with you because I have been there. I don't have years of...

  18. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    No our programs were the same length, during the semesters where we took out adult classes the PNPs had research, policy, and practicums. It's ridiculous that your still saying the education is...

  19. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    Well, I did have the same training as the primary care PNPs in my program because I took all the same classes as they did. I cannot speak on WHNP education, but I have an FNP friend who works at an...

  20. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    To all posts saying FNPs aren't as well trained as PNPs in peds pharm. , as an FNP, I will say both PNPs and FNPs are well prepared to care for the pediatric population. At the university I attended,...

  21. Last minute study tips...

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

    Hello. I passed the ANCC in October of this year. I did the Fitzgerald live course and the study book Adult-Gerontolgical and Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination- 4th Ed. by Jill E....

  22. Dismissed from FNP program

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to vanurse1022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Vanurse1022, I can understand how it feels to be under a lot of pressure with school and life. But this does not excuse what you did. I agree with Juan that your best bet would be to appeal if that is...

  23. How old were you when you made the choice to become a NP?

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to mmcc26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do not know your situation (family, finances, etc) but I recommend going back as soon as possible. The only thing I regret is not going back sooner (BSN-21, MSN/DNP-FNP- 26). You can always work and...

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to mmcc26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

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

    I passed the ANCC FNP exam on the first try in early OCT 2013. Now that I have done it I can say that it wasn't that bad. That's not to say that I wasn't a nervous wreck with my heart bounding in my...
