  1. Prescribing Medical Marijuana

    db2xs replied to iriska_meller's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm in California where it is definitely legal for medical purposes. There is definitely evidence of medical cannabis

  2. Work-life balance?

    db2xs replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hospice/palliative care. 9-11 hrs/day I happen to love the fact that I get to still wear scrubs if I choose so. I happened to be talking to an old coworker about the excrement

  3. Work-life balance?

    db2xs replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  4. Prescribing Medical Marijuana

    db2xs replied to iriska_meller's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm wondering how you became certified to recommend it? I would love to be able to recommend it to my patients.

  5. Will you get your DNP

    db2xs replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Advanced Practice

    Me too. Super burnt out. I am curious about getting into education or research (not nursing research) but I don't think I need a PhD or DNP to be able to work in research. I most certainly don't want...

  6. What are the low stress nurse practitioner jobs

    db2xs replied to Azureshunter's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Per diem hospice NP job. You would just be doing as-needed recertifications. No prescribing, no diagnosing. Just

  7. Going into nursing with no prior medical experience. Am I insane?

    db2xs replied to Mmonroe2004's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I decided to go to nursing school when I was 35. My degree was in graphic design and I had been working as a writer/editor. During nursing school, I did not work as a CNA but instead chose to work as...

  9. Can I work with specialist as FNP or should I pursue AGNP

    db2xs replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You should do what you want to do the most. As an RN I jumped into a specialty despite everyone telling me "You have to start off in med-surg" (which is not true). As an NP student I took the AGNP...

  12. Oncology vs. Med-Surg.

    db2xs replied to havehope's topic in Oncology

    I worked in heme-onc for almost five years. I can't say whether heme-onc is med-surg on steroids because I've never worked in med-surg but we were taking care of primarily step-down-type hematology...

  13. CHPN EXAM

    db2xs replied to HSPCRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I only used two books: The Core Curriculum book and another one published by HPNA that only had questions and case studies. I passed this month. To be honest, I didn't study a ton. I would say know...

  14. New DNP mandate

    db2xs replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As per the above, I am guessing that you feel angry and annoyed but I don't think that justifies assuming that all new RNs/NP students don't care and that they only want to be called doctor. Everyone...

  15. What's the nicest compliment you've gotten as a nurse?

    db2xs replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in General Nursing

  16. Are B's good grades in nursing school?

    db2xs replied to ananana123's topic in General Students

    I got into grad school with a 3.45 GPA. My grad school considers passing to be 83% overall which is ... yes, a B. Unless you're super achievement-oriented and "need" to get into Sigma Theta Tau or...

  17. About to graduate or new graduates who are waiting to take boards

    db2xs replied to Fnp9090's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just to let everyone know, the second question the interviewer asked me was, "Are you in school?" LOL There's only so much lying that I could do in this interview because I have already been working...

  20. About to graduate or new graduates who are waiting to take boards

    db2xs replied to Fnp9090's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When I'm doing clinicals and therefore can only work certain days of the week, that is difficult to explain. If you have some suggestions for that, that would be great, thanks. I understand that...

  21. About to graduate or new graduates who are waiting to take boards

    db2xs replied to Fnp9090's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Me neither. I figure the way around that is getting a per diem job, but then that leaves me stranded for health insurance

  22. There has to be more besides indeed.com for NP job searches??!

    db2xs replied to ToFNPandBeyond's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    db2xs replied to Texas nurse here's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
