  3. What would you do? Selecting the right job!

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to RNmeee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would just consider if you want to continue to learn to practice medicine and expand on what you learned to become an FNP or do you want to become very specialized in neuro? Jumping right into a...

  4. Ohio Atty Gen opinion on non-ACNP working inpatient

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to DizzyJ DHSc PA-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My interpretation is that if the OBN is going to require NPs to have acute care certification to work inpatient, then they OBN needs to develop a rule stating as such. They can't enforce the...

  7. Psych/mental health NP program

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Hschleuter's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would try talking to former or current students of the program to get a better insight on your specific program. Only you know what you can handle with work and taking care of family. I worked...

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to PetuniaDaffodil's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. Do FNP's really make 80k to 90k a year?

  10. I need to vent please....

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Justwanttonurse's topic in General Nursing

    An automated system rejecting an application doesn't mean she is over qualified. Technically, she is not over qualified. That would be a automated system flaw. Doubtful a robot is rejecting people...

  12. I need to vent please....

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Justwanttonurse's topic in General Nursing

    At first I was surprised to see comments about people thinking you are over qualified to be a floor nurse just because you did an MSN program as your direct entry into the RN field. Thinking about it...

  13. Maintaining Certification While Living Abroad

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to OffTheGrid's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No practice hours?!?! Hopefully, that state requires hours. It isn't safe for someone to leave clinical practice for 5 years and then one day pick up a stethoscope, a prescription pad and go at

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to nightrn5's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First basic distinction if FNP is outpatient peds/adult training and AGNP is outpatient adult/gero. With either you could go into any of those outpatient specialties. If you are able to decide on a...

  17. DNP and work

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to LookForward's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I would say it depends on how well you feel prepared to dive into your first job. If you are calm and confident with support of other providers, then you could be possible. Most new grads though...

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to coffeemamaRN's topic in General Nursing

  22. Running into former patients

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing
