  1. FNP Hasn't Passed Certification Boards

    Rnis replied to nononsense's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Bummer. this type of test is different than NCLEX in that they aren't trick question/CAT style questions and really just focus on content knowledge. I sometimes think having taken that type of test,...

  2. Would PMHNP role be welcoming to nurse in recovery?

    Rnis replied to SkyIsTheLimit86's topic in Advanced Practice

  3. Clinical Instructor in need of suggestions

    Rnis replied to Smooth Sailing's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Sounds like you have some good strategies. I think working some case studies in small groups is a good way to do some critical thinking about scenarios they likely won't see in the clinical

  5. urgent care documentation

    Rnis replied to lovevaibhav1's topic in Advanced Practice

    I sometimes moonlight in urgent care. I don't think the documentation is much different but you are only focusing on "one" thing" . The nursing staff asks the majority of the questions so that is...

    Rnis replied to amc248's topic in Advanced Practice

    Rnis replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in General Nursing

  8. Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    Rnis replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  10. Failed clinical portion of nursing school during COVID

    Rnis replied to candicenguyen's topic in General Students

    He is not going to win an appeal to get credit for the class.......it sounds like a for profit school....so he probably can get readmitted through the appeal process. If you have a problem with...

    Rnis replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    So, It sounds like you have made up your mind. That is great! In this post I hear more determination (though I wouldn't recommend down playing a med error ....simply you learned from it (we have ALL...

  12. Should I quit my program?

    Rnis replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    Rnis replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    Their instructor flew out to see my student and also had a case study class/ get together for all area students that they invited me to (I didn't go). I was very impressed. I don't know about the...

  16. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    Rnis replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    As I stated, most students who ask me to precept have a strong background. Almost all students I turn down is because I have already committed to other students. I can think of only 1 or 2 students...

    Rnis replied to Crew2Nursing's topic in Advanced Practice
