  1. APRNs should only be DNPs!

    Lovanurse replied to Lovanurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Sorry for the confusion. I may have made the topic description a little dramatic. But I don't have an opinion on this issue yet. I am still researching the issue. I am trying to get a feel for what...

  2. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    Lovanurse replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Totally off topic....Nurse Practitioners and Physicians are two separate medical professionals. To say that NP's are "midlevels" would imply that the training is comparable to physicians. It's not....

  3. Univ of Portland cancels admision to Grad Nursing Programs

    Lovanurse replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hmmmm...I have also heard of this happening to BSN-DNP students. The program that I'm in are in the process of getting us Master's Degrees for an unknown reason. If you have a Doctorate, then why...

  4. Adult NP or FNP?? Any Opinions??

    Lovanurse replied to Gville RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am also in a FNP program where the Pediatric rotation is not favorable among students. High attrition rates during Peds. A couple of my classmates switched to ANP because of those reasons. I'd say...

  5. When should I start applying for NP jobs?

    Lovanurse replied to osunavynurse91's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure you will be able to take your certification that fast? I was told it takes a while to 1) get transcripts to send to the certification center 2) 30 days or so for them to get back to you...

  6. Questions for Current NPs

    Lovanurse replied to JesseMJ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  7. Having problems in my nursing job

    Lovanurse replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nurses have too many options to stay at a job that you absolutely hate. Floor nurse, school nurse, home care, teaching, triage, ED, OB, insurance, primary care and the list goes on. I would never work...

  8. Where are all the jobs?

    Lovanurse replied to straba's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe you can contact the University you went to for assistance? I know my program always sends me job offers via email. You may also want to join a local Nursing Association to do a little bit of...

  9. Second guessing it all...

    Lovanurse replied to mom2cka's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm having the same issue. I AM BURNT OUT. I have been in college for 12 years! I had 2 children along the way so I had to do it all part-time. I have 1 semester left for my DNP/FNP and I haven't even...

  10. Update on offer from Dr. working as RN there while in NP school

    Lovanurse replied to lynn5707's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I almost ignored the last post...Couldn't do it. Lol As said MANY times before on this forum; doctor is not a term designated for a physician. The definition of doctor means teacher. You could say...

  11. New NP regulations for MD, PA, NJ

    Lovanurse replied to abass211's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A hard copy of the Consenses Model was provided for me. If interested, google it...or dont...wait and see. They are really tryin to prevent say...a WHNP from practicing primary care when they have a...

  12. New NP regulations for MD, PA, NJ

    Lovanurse replied to abass211's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yup, this is true for PA. Google Consenses Model of Advanced Practice Nursing. The law is changing in 2012 however, you can still see your own patients in the hospital. Just no critical care. That...

  13. Specialty and DNP

    Lovanurse replied to ChapterTwo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Usually there isn't any clinical for MSN-DNP. You only have to do clinical if you do BSN-DNP because BSN's haven't had any experience in diagnosing and treating patients. Kind of the same senario if...

  14. BSN to DNP

    Lovanurse replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Sorry about the errors. Darn iPhone auto-correct. But I meant to say we were required to complete 1368 clinical hours. (168 per

  15. BSN to DNP

    Lovanurse replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hi! I am a BSN-DNP student. I started in Fall 2008 and will finish up in May. So it took me roughly 3.5 years. I did the FNP track and it required a total of 1368 hours. I will be the second...

  16. What's the process?

    Lovanurse replied to Lovanurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you:-)! I have a job waiting...just wanted to know how long it will take to start. This info helps

  17. What's the process?

    Lovanurse posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just wondering if somebody can explain the process for taking one of the NP exams? I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the thread. So I already know.... step #1. Graduate. How...

  18. Working while doing clinical hours

    Lovanurse replied to MillieT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work 2-3 nights per week (home care). I really don't like home care nursing, but they pay the most and plus there is time to do homework after everyone is sleeping. Also, I can pretty much pick my...

  19. Student loan forgiveness (NHSC)

    Lovanurse replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Lovely86! Yes you can apply during school but the application process, for this year's scholarship is over. :-( I think it starts in May of every year. They offer tuition assistance, and a monthly...

  20. questions about BSN to DNP programs

    Lovanurse replied to rlhtsvm's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Congratulations on completing your first year at Cal U. I did my BSN at Cal U also. That's a nice program. I'm assuming you're already working as a RN? If so, no need to wait for NP. I start applying...

  21. BSN to DNP

    Lovanurse replied to Heidi the nurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am doing BSN-DNP. Honestly, I applied to a Masters program first, and they put me on a waiting list. The DNP program took me first, so that's where I went. I have 2 semesters left. It's pretty...

  22. Working throughout a NP program?

    Lovanurse replied to jamesy7's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a single mother, have 2 semesters left for my FNP, and also have 2 children (little girl born 2/18 :). Personally, I couldn't see myself working and going to school full time. But I am doing...

  23. Teacher to nurse? Questions from a military spouse

    Lovanurse replied to girlinpearls's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing with children is hard in a hospital setting. None of the shifts are compatible with parenting. 7-3 means you gotta be at work by at least 6:30 to prepare and get report. That usually means not...

  24. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    Lovanurse replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Getting back to the original post. I don't think MSN's ms DNP's will have to compete in the near future. Especially in primary care with health care reform. We will all be valued the

  25. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    Lovanurse replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You hit the nail right on the head. Respect each others training. Would it be so terrible if we could work WITH physicians just like any other clinically prepared doctor? I don't see physicians...
