  1. Sick of the Certs!!!!! Just let 'em be an NP!

    bsnanat2 replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My original frustration stems from the ridiculous maze we must all navigate to get our piece of cheese. This is difficult enough without all the other mice crying "foul." We must revise our...

  2. Sick of the Certs!!!!! Just let 'em be an NP!

    bsnanat2 replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am amazed that the academic leadership does not recognize how the creation and insistence upon all of these certs marginalizes NP's and limits our practice. The DNP is a missed opportunity to say...

  3. ACNP/RNFA salary negotiations

    bsnanat2 replied to kguill975's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Remember, you are now an Advance Practice Professional. Forget the small ball thinking. The offer needs to be fair, but remember that they can bill at 85% of physician pay for what you do. They...

  4. Oncology & blood transfusions

    bsnanat2 posted a topic in Oncology

    Just a question for oncology experts. Our ortho floor has recently had a few oncology patients. Just wondering......Do oncology patients usually get a lot of transfusions of blood or

  6. Mass exodus of staff

    bsnanat2 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't jeopardize your license, your health or sanity. A new job is easier to get than a new license. The only thing the lawyers and admin will say is "if x no. of patients was too many, why did you...

  7. Orthopedic FNP Texas

    bsnanat2 replied to littlebelle1293's topic in Advanced Practice

    Actually, as an Advance Practice Nurse you do not need RNFA to assist. CMS automatically recognizes APRN's (NP's etc.) to assist. The issue is often that NP programs do not include a surgical...

  10. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    bsnanat2 replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Like the post. As I have moved on through my hybrid program, I have realized that I like the format....some online, some in person. It is really important to choose the best format that fits your...

  11. Research this!

    bsnanat2 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ok folks, I've had it! I am absolutely nauseated at the thought of another "research" paper. I DO NOT WANT TO BE A RESEARCHER!! Yes, I agree that research is important, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! There...

  12. The math doesn't add up

    bsnanat2 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I am coming to the conclusion that leaders in all level of nursing have lost their minds. I have been a rule follower all my life, but I am now rebelling. There will be NO thank you notes and I WILL...

  13. Stealth Discouragement and Opposition from surprising sources

    bsnanat2 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have had a really difficult semester in my ANP program and have been really impacted by what I call "stealth" opposition. I have been sabotaged at work with regard to my schedule and clinicals....

  14. Stealth Discouragement and Opposition from surprising sources

    bsnanat2 replied to bsnanat2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I originally planned to tell no one at work about being in school but my manager's loose lips let the cat out of the bag. I will not let their feelings, whatever they are, deter me and I definitely...

  15. Can NPs own a specialty clinic?

    bsnanat2 replied to rynophiliac's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Slippery slope. This may be possible, but it is not wise nor is it practical. While the role of NP has evolved since it was first conceived, moving too far away from primary care into the role of a...

  16. Scared I may not get through my NP program

    bsnanat2 replied to 123Cindylee's topic in Advanced Practice

    I feel your pain, but must encourage you to calm down. Think about it.....you are in your last semester. You have done the hard part. Talk to your professors. Believe me, they want you to pass....

  18. Is grad school really this hard to get into?

    bsnanat2 replied to itsnowbegun's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with this wholeheartedly! I also expect that the reality of nursing and NP will bring these numbers down in a little while with a lot of licensed, non-practicing RN's and NP's who will have...

  19. Is grad school really this hard to get into?

    bsnanat2 replied to itsnowbegun's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    BTW, Some state BON's have a listing of all nursing schools in the state with NCLEX pass rates...these will usually list the highest degree offered by the school. Check any on the list for NP...

  20. Is grad school really this hard to get into?

    bsnanat2 replied to itsnowbegun's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    One thing I might suggest is to look at some of the smaller, lesser known universities. Many times they are glad to have people apply. It takes some searching and many do offer hybrid or completely...

  21. ACNP without research, theory, etc

    bsnanat2 replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately no one really knows how many 'Wakefields' are out there, unexposed. This is even more reason to be able to critically examine research, to be able to raise the proper questions before...

  22. Rent or buy text???

    bsnanat2 replied to Floridanurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Chegg.com Can buy or rent or rent then buy. Great fast

  23. Can a Psych Np work as a Derm NP?

    bsnanat2 replied to matt.matt2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are more likely to be safe as an FNP/ANP doing psych than a PsychNP doing derm. Many states recognize mental health as a part of primary care, but PsychNP is a specialization. Besides, the gulf...

  24. ACNP without research, theory, etc

    bsnanat2 replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One more 'high horse' comment...... You must learn that research proves nothing. It only demonstrates a relationship, the lack of a relationship, a correlation, the lack of a correlation and/or the...

  25. ACNP without research, theory, etc

    bsnanat2 replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with the posted responses. Believe me, I am no fan of theory, but without theory and research, you are just a technician. Do you really believe that a medical school operates without...
