  1. Are you ACTUALLY supervised???

    favthing replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work in a specialty practice where physicians co-sign my notes. This is related to payment, but underlying I have no patient of my own but rather see the physician's patients (there are 7) and then...

  2. Best Review Bundle For AANP Exam

    favthing replied to bpierce0034's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did both. Hollier was more common sense and honestly applied more to the exam. Fitzgerald was full of depth, excellent, but a lucky bit on the exam relative to the extensive info. The MOST...

  3. How to make a good impression precepting

    favthing posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in my first semester of NP school, and I have been trying to get information about how to prepare for my precepting experience. I would value any input about qualities and personal attributes...

  4. Any NPs start from LPN?

    favthing replied to BabyFood26's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in my second semester of NP school, and from my experiences from a LPN to ADN to BSN, I am finding contacts for clinical rotations for next year. It is really special to have providers who are...

    favthing replied to RNKMY's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  6. Advice from current University of Cincinnati Students?

    favthing replied to RN1913's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have had a good experience with UC, and am so excited because I just learned yesterday that I have been accepted into the 2016 Summer AGNP

  7. Is this what MedSurg nursing is really like?

    favthing replied to DU15's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I worked about 3 months on a med-surg unit where I made a decision to leave. The unit had all the elements you described and more. I wrote my 2-week notice and hand-delivered it, with certainty. I...

  8. Least stressful nursing specialty

    favthing replied to Svkd's topic in General Nursing

    I work a contingent job as a telephone triage nurse. My primary job is on a med/surg unit in a hospital. The phone triage, comparably, does not even seem like a job. I love it. I don't want to...

  9. When to apply

    favthing replied to HELLONURSE2b502's topic in Nursing Career

    It shows your commitment if you apply and offer to work in the role of a nursing assistant until you pass your boards. I think this investment is valuable time spent for you, as well, for all the...

  10. Questions about FNP and ACNP roles

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

    The group of sub-acute care practitioners (of which I dream of joining one day as a NP!) state they are looking for ACNP-trained NPs because the acuity of care is increasing in their setting. I have...

  11. Spring Arbor?

    favthing replied to applesxoranges's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thank you all so much for sharing! I am set up to begin the March residency, and I am getting really excited but even more nervous. I am waiting to hear from University of Cincinnati for a May...

  12. Spring Arbor, is anyone familiar with online NP program

    favthing replied to HelloWish's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you, MiNurse and applesxoranges! I am concerned about working and attending school. Do you find that you are able to study as much as you need? I hear so much about "what you put into online...

  13. ACNP vs FNP: My Summarization of the Great Debate

    favthing replied to rauscht's topic in Advanced Practice

    Exactly, it is about patient-centered appropriate care. Just as the medical model of specialization targets specific populations for physicians, NP preparation is trying to target training according...

  14. Thinking of leaving hospice

    favthing replied to NurseStephy80's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I felt totally taken advantage of in hospice. It was a horrible experience. How sad, as it seems a lot of hospice nurses completely give of themselves...the businesses take advantage of this...

  15. The sloppy image of nurses today

    favthing replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As I read your post, my mind went to some of the women physicians on the unit where I work! One in particular looks like she is ready to go out for a night-out, not to mention her beautiful and long...

  16. Former Med Surg RN to LTC

    favthing replied to RegisteredNuisance's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I really appreciate your post about choosing LTC over acute care. I used to work in LTC/rehab, and I loved that time. I have worked in assisted living prior, and hospice for a very short time. Now,...

  17. Spring Arbor?

    favthing replied to applesxoranges's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am planning to attend the AGNP program, starting March, 2016. In the meantime, I have applied at other schools and am seeking as much information as possible about all of them. Spring Arbor...

  18. Davenport 2016 LPN Program

    favthing replied to JustCasS's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Try to look into multiple schools...Davenport is quite expensive, especially considering the LPN certificate as the investment. Look into whether your courses will transfer to another college; for...

  19. ACNP vs FNP: My Summarization of the Great Debate

    favthing replied to rauscht's topic in Advanced Practice

    The Consensus Model is really clear about the intent of ACNP for in-patient. The NP on the unit where I work is an AGNP-prepared NP. Otherwise, I see a lot of Clinical Nurse Specialists, but few NPs...

  20. Spring Arbor, is anyone familiar with online NP program

    favthing replied to HelloWish's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was accepted for the January 2016 AGNP program, but I have delayed my start date to March, 2016. One of the reasons I have delayed my start date is because I am not able to access key information...

  21. Need advice Please- Call Center RN job?

    favthing replied to ORRN0808's topic in Telephone Triage

    I interviewed at a call center this afternoon, and I was so impressed! I have been a nurse for about five years-LTC, rehab, and now med-surg in a hospital. I have taken a major pay cut at the...

  23. Anyone in 4510 this summer?

    favthing posted a topic in Ohio University

    Hi, I'm taking a break from writing my paper in 4510. It's week #2, and I'm feeling like I could use support! This week's APA paper is going better, but I didn't get feedback from the TA on my first...

  24. Newer RN working in SNF/Rehab with low ratings.

    favthing replied to Cynnie24's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The star ratings don't mean a whole lot to me. I work at a facility which had a 5-star rating, but a lot about this is the politics of how managers set the place up to prepare for surveys, etc....

  25. Rejecting an offer after accepting it?

    favthing replied to ak2190's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am in a similar situation. I have been a nurse a few years at the same place, but I want experience in a hospital. I applied to all of the hospitals in my area, feeling that I would be fortunate...
