    @Polly Peptide I'm going to send you a private

  2. Psychedelic Nursing

    db2xs replied to Elle Anna Webb's topic in General Specialties

    I didn't realize that there was a Psychedelic Nursing section--this is great. @Mywords1 I hear your concern about bad experiences on entheogens and it makes sense. There is a lot of crap medicine out...

  3. RN experience before WHNP Career

    db2xs replied to Digirols's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Looks like I misread your question. I thought you meant you've already worked in L&D but that was two years ago. From a practical point of view, once you graduate it would be better to look for an...

  4. RN experience before WHNP Career

    db2xs replied to Digirols's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    While I am not a WHNP, I would imagine that a prospective employer for a first job would appreciate any experience you have in anything

  5. NP Job Offer in NYC

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

    That does sound odd. Is there someone else you can speak to from the company, not the

  6. Prescription "cookbooks?"

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

    I use Lexicomp religiously and pay the monthly fee. I think it is totally worth it, especially after listening to a medical podcast of app recommendations. A physician said that it would hold up...

  7. CA New Grad NP with questions about licensing

    db2xs replied to PsychRN_CA's topic in Advanced Practice

    Hello, congratulations! Here is what I can answer regarding your questions: 1. Can I apply for a DEA without a job? As thinblueline said, you need a work address for your DEA so you'll have to wait....

  8. NP: Age limit?

    db2xs replied to romantic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not about me but I have a new coworker NP who is in her 60s and has been an NP for five years. You can do the math to figure out that no, you are not too old at 50, 55

  9. Nursing school out of California

    db2xs replied to Agoose98's topic in California Nursing

    @megmeg I would suggest you ask admissions

  10. Looking for used ACHPN core curriculum

    db2xs posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hello. Do any ACHPNs have a used core curriculum they'd like to sell? I'd be happy to buy it off of you. Please let me know,

  11. Alphabet Soup of a Title

    db2xs replied to jfmDNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    The ANCC recommends that we all list the degree, licensure, state designation/requirement, national certification, awards and honors, etc., (in that order) after our names. That's probably why people...

  12. Need NP preceptor

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

    I just recently read about the Sawyer Initiative. From what I understand, starting from last year the CCNE requires all NPs programs to provide clinical preceptor placement. If your school doesn't...

  13. ADN vs ABSN vs DEMSN?

    db2xs replied to miqbal1109's topic in General Students

    I'm a second-career changer. I currently work as an NP. When I decided to change careers, I knew I wanted to be an NP and so did several informational interviews and shadowed some NPs. They all...

  14. How can I stand out as a candidate for a NP residency?

    db2xs replied to mochi1190's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did not go into a residency program but I imagine being bilingual would be a huge plus. And maybe having an active role in a professional organization. I never really understand these...

  15. NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?

    db2xs replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    WOW!, that's a bargain. I graduated two years ago and one credit was just shy of $1,000 when I started, which has obviously gone up by

    I too suggest getting your

  17. States are reopening. As a nurse who takes care of COVID, how do you personally feel about going out and seeing people?

    db2xs replied to EDScrubLife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have not stopped seeing patients throughout this whole situation, but no COVID-positive patients so far. Last week I made my first "social" visit with a friend for the first time in two months. We...

  18. Johns Hopkins vs Seton Hall

    db2xs replied to Myheartskipsabeat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm a little late on this train and I know you've probably made up your mind about where to go, and but if you don't mind, I'm going to say this: 1) Congratulations for getting into Hopkins! and 2) go...

  19. NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?

    db2xs replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worked my tail off during school and paid cash/out of pocket. I had zero life for three years but it was so worth it knowing I wouldn't have years of indentured servitude for years on end. I would...

    db2xs replied to Butterflygrl38's topic in Disaster Preparation

  21. Canadian new grad RN moving to California?

    db2xs replied to viewerindepth's topic in California Nursing

    Hi there. Can we trade places? I like Canada ? I would suggest you contact the California Board of Registered Nurses re the NCLEX and all of that. Good

  22. On line NP or On-campus Np? (MA)

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

    I'm unsure of where you live but it is the norm in California. While I opted to do an out-of-state distance program, I have many colleagues who went to school locally and still had to find their own...

  23. On line NP or On-campus Np? (MA)

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

    I agree with you that this norm is not acceptable but it is what a lot of us have to face. I ask you this in all earnestness: if you have any good ideas on how to sway the schools otherwise, what...

  24. Do you have your own malpractice insurance?

    db2xs replied to tgod288's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  25. Where to look for jobs in Bay Area

    db2xs replied to kcwhitRN's topic in California Nursing

    If OP is willing to drive to Sac from the East Bay, Sonoma County will be nothing. I'm unsure what is going on with hiring during this pandemic but for sure if someone has ICU/ED experience, that...
