I’m sorry for your situation. If all this is true I would just try to take a LOA. careplans are the most pointless thing in nursing school and the ability to perform on them has no bearing on future ability of being a nurse. They are an utter waste of time. Do what you feel you need to do to pass. What they exactly is I do not know since I do not know your situation. careplans are dumb just do the minimum to pass the program so you can start working. Do you have a SO that helps?

Yeah the idea of instant six figures with a mommy 9-4 job is unrealistic in most fields of Np

What’s a regular schedule

NE Tennessee hospitals need nurses pretty bad. Ballad system I travel around but focus on mostly southeast and was there for a stent. Traveler rn on all units so they hiring JC KP Bristol area

No it’s just the reality of how it was. Browsing these forums seems to make it sound as it’s often the norm in UG nursing. Graduate nursing school (anesthesia) was much better

It’s ok once your done it will feel better. Never experienced anything as annoying and silly as undergraduate nursing education. Somehow they make it time consuming without adding in desirable difficulty.

Undergraduate nursing yuck. Take it to the dean as an entire class if it gets out of hand. Never met such a bunch of crotchety old sag bags as my UG nursing instructors were. conglomerate thr entire class. Go to dean first. Keep everything in writing. Sign it all. Then go up the ladder. Most UG nursing instructors are borderline MR so don’t take their threats seriously but stay as a group and fight them up the chain of command. And don’t let those rust buckets win. They are just fat and ugly And probably want to feel powerful by harassing students

That makes more sense move on

Is OP getting hospital privileges mixed up with hospital experience? I have heard of some hospitals wanting prior hospital experience prior to allowing privileges but even that is a stretch or have they had a bad experience with np in past?

Wut doesn’t every hospital require it’s own set of hospital privs? Their response doesn’t make much sense Sounds like a dumb response from them. If they give you privs good if not go elsewhere. Don’t quit current job until you have privs

May as well keep it. If you had an aprn license then went back to med school I might think otherwise. At least once 3/4 year start. I say aprn since in the rare case your attending gets litigated they might drag you into it

Still never seen theee AA people in my neck of the woods. Doesn’t seem to have taken off much

Not sure if OP meant just in general but yeah we have several aps available like meds are or epocrates or UTD for dosing. I’m in anesthesia and the drugs we use are less broad but if I forgot what a med does I just look it up. Usually these are new neuro or chemo drugs since those seem to be popping up all over. No one has memorized the dosing for much more than what they commonly use so OP find you a good app like UTD and see how you like it

Be a good icu nurse and talk to the other np and docs and ask them. If they like you and then need an np they more likely to hire you. If you are good

Go somewhat rural but not so rural they ship everything out. Seems to be rule of the thumb for autonomy but there are exceptions. Medium sized hosp 3-700 beds in small cities

Read the guidelines for said medication and monitor for side effects and therapeutic effect........ they tell you starting dose when to titrate and max dose and use clinical reasoning for each patient

You do know DO school is med school right? DO learn the same as MD and can practice In all specialties. It’s essentially the same thing. why don’t you copy paste the article for us if you want us to read it so badly. tuxDO as in all his or her other posts has not been inflammatory at all. you just don’t like doctors and it shows all over. the difference is the fluff is added on top of med school curriculum. It doesn’t replace the already limited amount of actual science in many NP schools. Med school is so comprehensive you can actually have time to add in some things without the expensive of education on science and medicine. NP school is already abbreviated too much. source- any school curriculum listed online

1. Adding inflammatory title toward medical education 2. Posts links to an opinion piece that requires a subscription most don’t want to spend the money on 3. Counter argument provided to OP 4. OP chastises those for not reading article that we can’t even access lol I’m not a SJW but I don’t see the harm in topics that are big in the radar now. So I agree with you nursing theory by outdated theologians that never had an impact on medicine? Junk

Look harder. By referring too much they do not know when to refer. I don’t think any one here is against fpa laws because the current laws are just dumb and don’t really do anything anyway. A lot of docs even want fpa since they are tired of signing midlevel charts and don’t want the liability. Kaiser has been replacing docs with midlevels look at their clinics. NP education is by a large a joke and most people here agree with that notion.

Move to some part of the country dying for nurses work a year or two then go back to where you want to be

Cooking is easy doesn’t mean I’m good at it right? its embarrassing for nursing to come in and say XYZ medical profession is easy. Hence why public sometimes doesn’t take us seriously

It’s basic to those who do not know what they do not know kaiser in cali has started to replace NPs with physicians in primary care since they are essentially using the quality of care model. The midlevels referees too much stuff that should have been easy to handle by a primary to specialists thus wasting money and time. Much of primary care is basic basic but often midlevels don’t even know who to refer patients too much less properly handle things they should be able to in primary care. Im not against FPA, but the way midlevels are trained leans them to being more useful with working with specialty physicians. The requirement of broad knowledge is not gained in a 1.5 year program that NPs go through. They at least need residencies. Primary care seems easy bc it’s hard to outright kill someone but badness Over time is just as dangerous to a community. FM and IM docs are some of the most sought out specialties in medicine by recruiters. There is a reason they aren’t just filling all of these spots with MLP. OFTEN places have dozens of openings for primary care physicians but none for midlevels. Patients want doctors often times and recruitment demand reinforces this notion

Won’t be come a big thing in our careers

Life is great if you can handle living in rural America. Usually cheap homes high autonomy and more $$$&

And about one more thing primary care easy? I believe kaiser in Cali has began replacing MLPs with almost all PCPs since their specialists where getting too many silly referrals for things that should have been managed by a PCP. This is contrary to how it works but I always thought APP/MLPs where better utilized in specialty practice where the scope is narrower and they can collaborate more easily with their physician. Probably why the anesthesia route for nursing has been so successful. Yeah we can kill people quicker but our practice scope is so narrow it to make makes anesthesia probably Easier than primary care MOST times. Sure we line people all day with arts and cvcs and Intubate and all of those things that sound “cool” but let’s be honest the skill set required for GOOD primary care is much broader. Anyone can learn to stick a tube or line in but the cerebrating required for Good primary care is more abstract To say primary care is easy is a novice statement. It’s easy to do it wrong without instant repercussions but over long periods of time can be devastating to a community to practice bad medicine. People confuse acuity with difficulty. Anesthesia is acute but most of the time not that difficult. PC is the opposite and please ask any rheumatologist if acuity equals difficulty in their practice
