  2. Should I start off in family practice?

    himilayaneyes replied to JVongNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. Floating non-ICU RN's to ICU!!?

    himilayaneyes replied to Keri29's topic in Critical Care

  7. med-surg RN desperately wanting into ICU

    himilayaneyes replied to megRNn's topic in Critical Care

    Get your ACLS, take a critical care course. Volunteer to float to ICU all the time. Harass the ICU manager until they hire you. Good

  8. Suggestions on possible NP job offer

    himilayaneyes replied to earthsalt's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have to agree with the poster that said it sounds shady. I'm working for a home health company for which the pay rate is $80 per patient. Plus, I don't see how it's possible to see 300 of them every...

  13. Passed ANCC!!!

    himilayaneyes replied to himilayaneyes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @ Jeremiah. If your school is purchasing the review for next year, then I would just wait until next year to take it. However, for academic purposes, the purple Fitzgerald book is very helpful....

  14. Passed ANCC!!!

    himilayaneyes replied to himilayaneyes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @ Jeremiah. Honestly, I didn't like the Fitzgerald review when I was sitting there for 3 days. I felt like they were just stating the information in the book. However, the review book that they give...

  15. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    himilayaneyes replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have to agree with Bezoars. I'll take care of my loved ones if something were to happen. (They all live locally). I'd totally understand if someone refused to care for them...it's scary. I don't...

  16. PNP contract wording??

    himilayaneyes replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Since you'll be signing a legal document, wording is everything. They should either use a generic term like nurse practitioner or pediatric nurse practitioner. The state acknowledges you as a PNP not...

    himilayaneyes replied to maresler's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you a member of any organizations (e.g., ANA, AANP? From what I understand, they usually have a list of potential preceptors. You can also try going door to door at different clinics and MD...

  23. Is a FNP working for a Psychiatrist legal ??

    himilayaneyes replied to lmonet82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
