   Nautoropath ND as a preceptor?

   turnforthenurse replied to MNRN22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   That is very strange. Maybe being with an ND as part of a specialty rotation could be doable. At my school, we were allowed an optional speciality rotation for 40 hours. You could learn a lot...

   FNP or ACNP

   turnforthenurse replied to futruenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Some ACNPs work in a specialty office-type setting, but will also round on patients in the hospital. So as an ACNP, you're not just limited to hospital settings. If you're interested in ACNP, would...

   turnforthenurse replied to EKTheRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   If you really want to do peds, consider a PNP or PACNP program. Do some research in your area, though - are there a lot of PNP/PACNP jobs in your area? What is the projected job outlook in the next...

   Where do NP clinicals take place at?

   turnforthenurse replied to bryanleo9's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Absolutely this. The struggle is real. Finding preceptors is HARD, especially when you are in an oversaturated area. I'm an in area with three NP schools and three med schools with med students and...

   FNP Oversaturation

   Looking back I'm thinking that's the route I should have gone, but my experience is all ER and not

   Transitioning from FNP to Acute Care in school

   turnforthenurse replied to Notnicetofib's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I don't think so. I was enrolled in my school's FNP program and I applied for their ENP program later that year once they were accepting applications. The ENP program at my school is primarily...

   Be careful. The nurse practice act in some states may consider inpatient as "out of scope of practice" for an

   Do hospitals hire FNP-C?

   turnforthenurse replied to Guest05/31/18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   You will probably need your ACNP/AGCNP/PACNP. You also need to pay attention to your state nurse practice act - you might be considered practicing "out of scope" if you're an FNP in a hospital...

    Why do some practices prefer PAs to NPs?

    turnforthenurse replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We essentially do the same thing. The only difference is the training - I feel like NPs only do 1/4 of the required clinical hours compared to the 2,000 hours that PAs typically have to do. I've...

    FNP-C vs FNP-BC

    turnforthenurse replied to Guest05/31/18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I haven't really heard a difference, tbh. I chose AANP (FNP-C) because I will also be sitting for the ENP exam which is also offered through AANP. It would be too much hassel trying to keep up with...

    turnforthenurse replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in Houston and I am a new FNP. We are very oversaturated here - it is very difficult for us to find jobs. A handful of my classmates were lucky, but many of us are struggling. I have seen...

    VISITOR POLICY

    turnforthenurse replied to Kiwi82's topic in Emergency

    This! My facility doesn't have a visitor policy. I worked at a large hospital downtown and they don't really follow a visitor policy, but I always told my patients 2 visitors at a time because the...

    Working 24+ hours?

    turnforthenurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking this is illegal, but I'm not sure. What is the MAX number of hours a nurse can work in ONE shift? For example, can we work 24 hours straight? Obviously this is a huge safety issue. I...
