  1. A Day In The Life Of A NP?

    thenewguy8 replied to Enigmatik's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Goofeegirl, when you say physical medicine do you mean osteopathy / manipulation / injection / pain stuff? And CAM? I'm very interested in that field - do you find you are not able to

  2. NP learning OMM?

    thenewguy8 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So today I shadowed an amazing DO in NH. She has her own practice and is VERY alternative while also fully working with pharmas and traditional patients. Anyway, she uses OMM all the time (i saw her...

  3. NP learning OMM?

    thenewguy8 replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NPA, SOP? I'm not practicing yet - I'm applying to DE programs this fall, but I know that I would like to integrate OMM into my practice so I'm just trying to find out what hte options are. Sounds...

  4. NP learning OMM?

    thenewguy8 replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the response! Quick follow up: If out of school I were to practice with a DO who taught me OMM - would it be ethical for me to then offer it as part of my own independent practice were I to...

  5. NP learning OMM?

    thenewguy8 replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Still curious about this if anyone has any more information. Basically - is there an official certification process to be able to bill legally for OMM? Or can I just study with an osteopathic doctor...

  6. NP Independent Practice States

    thenewguy8 replied to SEDK's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is great to hear. Does this supervised practice (which should absolutely happen anyway, legislation or not) have to happen in vermont? or could you have done 2 years in another state and move to...

  7. Samuel Merritt University FNP Insight

    thenewguy8 replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Skibum - regarding your comment: I have to say i never said to my self, "this is difficult". I worked hard, and some weeks were harder than others. I worked that hardest during the last two semesters...

  8. Considering career as NP

    thenewguy8 replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think, more probably, Geriatric will dissapear and be consumed within Adult. At least that's what is happening at UCSF - there getting rid of their geriatric degree and lumping it into the Adult...

  9. Samuel Merritt University FNP Insight

    thenewguy8 replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'd love to know what you thought of the program in general - especially in comparison to any others you might have looked at? How rigorous did you find the education? How much fo the supposed...

  10. Any male NP's out there?

    thenewguy8 replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's a valuable point. Since NPs function as providers instead of support it is true that their role is fairly similar to doctors, etc. Certainly in many settings. I guess the question is: is the...

  11. Any male NP's out there?

    thenewguy8 replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As a male who is looking into either an md/do program or FNP (want to do primary care), I have thought about this a lot. I think one of the biggest things males (read: me, at least) will face is their...

  12. To Current NPs and Students - Diagnostic Ability?

    thenewguy8 replied to guest_57352's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would actually offer an alternative viewpoint on the nursing model. I'm not a student yet, but am hoping to do a direct entry FNP program soon so this is based on my shadowing and research. I've...

  13. NP learning OMM?

    thenewguy8 replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well I don't have a state yet - I haven't even applied for programs yet. I'm looking to find out where an NP might go to get this training and then, as you said, where is it

  14. NP learning OMM?

    thenewguy8 replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, a hands-on technique-set that works in ways similar to chiropractors and cranial-sacral therapists. And

  15. EVERYONE is going for NP these days

    thenewguy8 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone know how the Northwest and the Northeast are? Portland / Seatle area and also New Hampshire, Vermont, Conneticut, Rhode Island,

  16. EVERYONE is going for NP these days

    thenewguy8 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow this is pretty worrisome to hear as a prospective NP student (id be applying this summer for 2012 start). Think we can list what areas of the country are glutted and which have

  17. NP or MD, Need some advice.

    thenewguy8 replied to 333344444's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OP - I have been on the exact same soul-search. I graduated with a BA in 2007 in a completely non-applicable liberal arts field (though very interesting), and have done LOTS of stuff since then. One...

  18. Scary reading doctor forums about NPs...

    thenewguy8 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So as I've been winding my way through the decision-making process of NP/PA/MD/DO I found myself at a very active forum community of medical students/professionals/etc. across all parts of the...

  19. These classes are nonsense

    thenewguy8 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Would anyone mind actually listing these programs? I'm not sure what the 1st tier schools are for NP. I'm also particularly interested in the direct entry NP programs that are not fluff. - would it be...

  20. Scary reading doctor forums about NPs...

    thenewguy8 replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you Kanzi, that was very encouraging. What track did you take, working surgery? I'll be doing FNP with the goal of working primary

  21. FNP vs Acute care NP vs CRNA

    thenewguy8 replied to Leanne62499's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm confused...i thought compensation for NPs was pretty good? And that it was certainly on par with PA's (with regional fluctuation)? I'm also surprised to hear comments about NPS just being doctor...

  22. More info about post-NP certifications?

    thenewguy8 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello all, I'm interested in pursuing an NP degree. Having a very hard time making the NP/PA/MD/DO decision because of all the surrounding circumstances. Anyway - one thing that interested me with...

  23. Any school rankings or reviews for DE NP programs?

    thenewguy8 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm looking at direct entry NP programs for FNP (with the slight possibility of psych NP....but probably family). I know that for DE NP programs there are only about 50 in the country, and I would...

  24. Scary reading doctor forums about NPs...

    thenewguy8 replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well this is good to hear. I guess, if anything, the responses that I read make me realize the very real limitations in the education of NP programs (DE NP, specifically). I'm still excited about...

  25. Scary reading doctor forums about NPs...

    thenewguy8 replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the responses, everyone. Question - do you think this negativity is directed more at DE NP programs and not the NP field in general? I'm considering a DE program - I have no prior nursing...
