  1. APRN - Is it worth it.....

    Rnis replied to DialysisRN34's topic in Advanced Practice

    Concordia out of Mequon Wisconsin. It's been a few years, but they took students from across the

  2. APRN - Is it worth it.....

    Rnis replied to DialysisRN34's topic in Advanced Practice

    My MSN cost around 24 thousand. My work paid about 10 thousand of it and the rest I paid out of pocket. I love my job as a FNP. the first year was a bit stressful but working and being treated as a...

  3. Considering a career change from Pharmacist to Nurse (and eventually NP.. hopefully)

    Rnis replied to thisaintnoregularhcp's topic in General Nursing

    Go with your gut and dreams, but why not move into a clinical pharmacy role first. (retail pharmacy sounds AWFUL) That would definitely get you a more variety and ability to use your great...

  4. Doctor Denies Giving Lortab Order, Nurse Facing Discipline

    Rnis replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    That isn't really a "verbal order". He did not give an order, she ordered under what she thought was a protocol. I honestly doubt there is a true protocol order in place for narcotics, because...

  5. Attending MD complained to my supervisors about me...am I a bad nurse?

    Rnis replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Not a bad nurse.... but utilize your charge nurse for many of those questions. They shouldn't have you floating to a new floor until you have been a nurse for a

  6. Provider Service Agreement Concerns

    Rnis replied to lbnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    The exclusive practice clause I believe has to do with liability. Were you hoping to moonlight? I do moonlight but not in the NP role so they don't have a problem with me doing it...but they usually...

  7. Typhon to find clinical sites?

    Rnis replied to ISTJ nurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    I used it to get a few names. but never paid out for me. Now that I am a NP, timing is everything when students reach out. My general rule of thumb is to say no to anyone who is trying to find a...

  8. PNP vs Pediatrician

    Rnis replied to PedsInTraining's topic in Advanced Practice

    I really depends where you work. My job is a bit different than the physicians. We do a team concept so I am never a PCP. that definitely creates a hierarchy in how some patients see me....because...

  9. NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?

    Rnis replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Mine was around 700 a credit a 5 years ago. I am doing my DNP now and it is 850$ a credit (DNP always seems to cost more than straight graduate courses) (different school) . I paid 25 thousand for...

  10. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

    Good luck. Is your previous employer still interested in hiring you as an NP? I would maybe reconsider given you are struggling to find a gig. One thing to know, how you are treated as RN doesn't'...

  11. NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?

    Rnis replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I paid out of pocket, no regrets. My work has done an educational reimbursement for both by MSN and DNP and I do take advantage of that, but otherwise I pay cash. I remember when I was at school...

  12. Teaching and working primary job

    Rnis replied to Paris2017's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Right! I ran into that this year. I don't think I will be teaching for that school again as I didn't feel supported when a student complained after I gave them a warning. I need to toughen up if I...

  13. Teaching and working primary job

    Rnis replied to Paris2017's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I teach as an adjunct. Generally (in my area) you can get 6,000 to 8, 0000 per clinical. I usually will use a few vacation days and adjust my schedule on other days to make it work. Every school is...

  14. Seeking Fall 2020 Pediatric Preceptor

    Rnis replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced Practice

    Good

  15. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    Rnis replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    Hello, It will cut out a few courses but it is not going to significantly impact the time it takes to get an NP. A direct entry program as a clinical nurse leader is kind of an oxymoron ....... I...

  16. Why are some RNs rarely busy, while others are always busy

    Rnis replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    When I first became a nurse I used to be suspicious of nurses that always seemed to be relaxed and 'together' throughout the shift. By the time I left the floor, I was one of those nurses. I learned...

  17. Any MSN-FNP's here who decided to go back for DNP?

    Rnis replied to Danish's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hmm.... I am a NP that is getting my DNP. I still plan to have a clinical practice, just a personal goal so that I can also teach graduate students. I actually find some of course work to be...

  18. Completing DNP While Working Full-Time

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

    I don't know where you work, but that would be no big deal at all where I work. I am guessing you are not working as a NP yet based on the tone of your post. Life is nice on the advanced practice...

  19. School Pretty Much Canceled Clinical

    Rnis replied to Futurenurse7321's topic in General Students

    Medical students, who aren't residents aren't being allowed in hospitals either at most places. Nursing students come in large groups and can be a huge contributor to the PPE burden. It is hard,...

  20. Completing DNP While Working Full-Time

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

    I would need more information. you have a MSN...are you already an NP? If it is just the DNP portion ...you can certainly work full-time. However, if you getting your NP portion that would really...

  21. Why do so many cheerleaders enter nursing?

    Rnis replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like my years of doing spirit fingers have made my hands strong and especially well-prepared for the role of opening pill packs and hanging IV fluids..............I can't speak for what...

  22. What was your Orientation like?

    Rnis replied to Ready2GradMay09's topic in Advanced Practice

    3 months in family medicine. 1 month shadowing (1 week with each person on my team) . 2nd month taking a couple patients off the persons schedule I was following for the day. 3rd month I was taking...

  23. Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Rnis replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is just common sense. If you prove yourself and work somewhere else for a few years....maybe. However, in my experience, they aren't going to invest in someone who didn't work out if there are...

  24. Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Rnis replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your not ever getting hired at that hospital again. Find work

  25. New grad Nurse quits nursing

    Rnis replied to lilly-may's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you have already made your decision. Are you working with a counselor? It sounds to me like you may have imposter syndrome (which almost all of us do as a new grad) . I never...
