  1. Issues with my school, Samuel Merritt University

    nomadcrna replied to NP-OnMyOwn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNPs are required to have ob/gyn in their rotation and you also should have had didactic as well. To be eligible for the FNP test, you must have a certain number of hours in the required

  2. Adult NP + Prenatal Care

    nomadcrna replied to MNNAngel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Get your FNP. Don't quote me but I don't believe adult NP usually work with antipartum. I doubt any ob/gyn office would hire you to see only postpartum patients. As an FNP you would be able to see...

  4. NP but decided not to practice

    nomadcrna replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  5. NP but decided not to practice

    nomadcrna replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jasil, Are you aware that there are poor medical schools as well? Even better, are you aware of FMGs? Those are foreign medical graduates. There are good and bad schools in all

  6. AZ NP help

    nomadcrna replied to fltnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nothing to do with how fast you get your license. Its about independent practice....

  7. AZ NP help

    nomadcrna replied to fltnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lots of rumors. Best thing to do is call the AZ board. I can tell you that AZ is number 1 for independent practice and I highly doubt this is true. There are to many rural ERs covered by FNPs right...

  8. NP but decided not to practice

    nomadcrna replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Most places are not strict. I've had temp privileges many, many times and could function as I did with regular credentials. I guess it depends on how badly they need you.

  9. NP but decided not to practice

    nomadcrna replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I could be wrong but I believe he is talking about facility credentialing. You must be credentialed at a hospital to be able to see patients. Some hospitals will give you temp. privileges while they...

  11. NP but decided not to practice

    nomadcrna replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll forgo big rebuttal as well. I am utterly amazed that someone who is not even in the profession professes to know so much about it and gives advice to those who are in

  12. NP but decided not to practice

    nomadcrna replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No offense but you are not even an RN are you? You have never attended a NP program, much less an online program. So where do you get your information? The online NP programs ARE online video and yes,...

  13. Technology for FNP students

    nomadcrna replied to Heidi the nurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  14. Online Rx with no exam or pt contact?

    nomadcrna replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Once again, when you get more experience, you might change, or not. Don't run down other providers who may be good, thorough provider that are able to listen to breath sounds under a shirt. I consider...

  15. Online Rx with no exam or pt contact?

    nomadcrna replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What you find difficult (listening through a thin shirt) others with more experience may be able to perform quite

  16. NP but decided not to practice

    nomadcrna replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jasil, I don't see where she said it was an online program. There are some very good online NP programs, btw. Also, are you a

  17. Terms used to describe APNs - what do people call you?

    nomadcrna replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with the last poster. We don't provide a different level of care and are held to the same standard. So why do we put up with the term mid-level provider? I also want to support my certifying...

    nomadcrna replied to westcoastgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  20. Help! ideas on getting along with a MD who dislikes NPs

    nomadcrna replied to westcoastgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    LOL, You still did not answer my question, are you an NP? Its a shame you have to become personal. That is usually the answer when you really don't have an argument. Are you even a nurse? On the...

  21. Help! ideas on getting along with a MD who dislikes NPs

    nomadcrna replied to westcoastgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    LOL, our certifying organization? I think they carry quite a bit of weight. Are you a NP? If you are an NP, maybe think about supporting the AANP. It is a shame we have to fight our own as we...

  22. Help! ideas on getting along with a MD who dislikes NPs

    nomadcrna replied to westcoastgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The credentialing organizations disagree with you. As they state, we do not give a different level of care and we are judged ON THE SAME LEVEL as the MDs

  23. Online Rx with no exam or pt contact?

    nomadcrna replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
