  1. How long is too long away from RN role? NP wanting to go back to RN

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I know that this probably is not going to make sense to most people. But I have been and APRN for a little over 2 years. I have decided that the stress and responsibility is not worth it for me. And I...

  2. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a new grad NP who took a job as a cardiology NP for a smaller, private practice. My background has been both inpatient and outpatient cardiology for the past 6 years. But obviously this is a new...

  3. Disclosing Psychiatric Care on Hospital Credentialing Application?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I just got a job as a new graduate with a private cardiologist however I will be rounding in hospital and require credentialing. I have a history of depression and anxiety and I am being treated...

  4. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Like your partner in crime, you seem to make so many assumptions about nursing. Again I'm glad you found a profession where your brilliance can shine. You are incorrect in that most physicians...

  5. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    There was some areas in which we had common ground. But now I realize you are not grounded in facts. And by the way, when I meant the rural role, I meant as primary care providers or even helping to...

  6. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Role transition is not "fluff." It has also been studied with new grad RNs. The research goes back to the"good old days" before the advent of online learning. In addition, despite all you advocate you...

  7. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    First off, I have no ire towards anyone. You commented on MY post. You and others are making broad based assumptions on ALL NPs because SOME, hell I'll even be generous and say a plurality, suck. You...

  8. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    "NP turned MD/DO" means what exactly? I have met plenty of crappy MDs. The thing is though, that MDs close ranks and protect each other (even at times when they shouldn't). Juxtapose that with...

  9. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    I always love this site because anonymous people with snarky attitudes love to apply their opinion broadly to every NP. So if I told you, I don't want independent practice at this point in my career,...

  10. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    That's great you realize it's a systemic problem. However your initial messages had a blaming tone of the NP: "20-somethings wanting to escape the bedside" "you're supposed to be autonomous.” Again...

  11. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Well, let's just say this. I did make a comment on a public forum, correct. However, your initial response and subsequent responses made a lot of presuppositions. You say you are tired of precepting...

  12. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Oh, I get it now. Your get off my lawn” attitude doesn’t help anyone. First I’ll have you know that there are many nurses (including myself) who went to “in person” programs. How completely...

  13. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    If medical school alone made physicians ready to be providers, there would be no need for residencies. And being an RN does not count. While being an RN brings some clinical judgment and medical...

  14. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Well, I really wish I could find something else. But my market here is saturated it appears. And I've only been doing this for 6 weeks. At times, I really DO feel as if my license is being...

  15. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    If only, I wish I could do a fellowship. But there aren't really any here in Florida, oddly enough. And when I brought up an out-of-state fellowship to my husband right after I graduated, let's just...

  16. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    It’s kinda funny you say that about answering questions and triaging…because they have me doing that too LOL. Sigh

  17. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Thanks for your response! I could not agree more. Being an RN and an APRN is so different! During the interview process, I did relay those concerns. I was assured I wouldn’t be expected to be at the...

  18. Does Palliative Care Limit Career Path?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm thinking about applying for a local NP residency for Palliative Care. However, I have heard from many others that you can get pigeonholed and job offers are few once you want to leave Palliative...

  19. Waiting until I have APRN license before applying to jobs?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi all, I just graduated 2 weeks ago from an AGACNP program. I’m waiting to sit for my exam and get my license. Is it worth it to even apply for jobs until I have my license? Also I’m...

  20. Barkley AGACNP Live vs Online Course?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi Everyone, I am an AGACNP student who is graduating next month. I wanted to take the Barkley's AGACNP Cert Live Review but the only one local to me is next week LOL. I see there's an online...

  21. Getting New RN License for Out of State Clinicals?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi everyone, Has anyone got a new RN license just for an out-of-state clinical opportunity? I know it sounds

  22. My IV Skills are Terrible!!!

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I’ve been a nurse for 5 years. And my IV insertion skills are horrific. I was an inpatient nurse for 3.5 years, but I always wheeled and dealed with other nurses to insert my IVs. And now I’m...

  23. New protocol - No report from ER to floor...

    CardiacRNLA replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! Yup! Sounds about right! A few times I had to float down to the ED just to work overflow. And MANY of the nurses down there flat out told me they called report right before change of shift so...

  24. New protocol - No report from ER to floor...

    CardiacRNLA replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    You don’t think you are perpetuating the US vs THEM mentality. Almost your entire post is a big sob story for the ED. You think floor nurses don’t have charge nurses breathing down their necks?...

  25. New protocol - No report from ER to floor...

    CardiacRNLA replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry but you could not be more misguided and wrong. You are just as guilty of not looking at it globally. Especially with the snide comment, "The floor nurse is no hurry to take it" about...
