My health system has made it official that they will not accept students for clinical rotations from a list of schools that is almost exclusively made up of the "for profit" institutions. Online programs with no on campus component will be reviewed...

I think what you have said is the issue...should NP school be about student being taught or teaching themselves? Clinicals are to solidify knowledge and help translate education into practice, not to teach students. If the preceptor is having to te...

Does anyone know what cms or avg reimbursement is for typical nh/snf monthly visit?

If you can drink beer while you're doing it, then it's not a sport... If all it requires is some free time and money, then it's not an education.

Don't disagree with you. Problem still remains that many of the online programs are responsible for the issues you just listed. Many, not all. I work with someone who did UAB's online program...she is not only top notch but her program seems to ha...

I must say that I attended a hybrid program, which was a combination of online and brick and mortar face-to-face time every few weeks. I have been working inpatient alongside many MD's, DO's, NP's and PA's as well as regularly with students from eac...

Hope you have found a solution...if not pm me and I may have a some info that may help.

Haven't been involved in many but the ones we've done have been successful. We will only do it in cases of repeated failure of standard treatment as you describe. It is really simple. We ask for the donor to be a healthy relative (as close as poss...

Check out the stroke certificate at University of Southern Indiana College of Nursing and Health Professions • Stroke Certificate Program

If you are truly interested in stroke neurology this info may be helpful. I believe the Net Stroke program at learnstroke.net was originally affiliated with UAB's stroke program, but it provides online stroke education and a week long fellowship at ...

Check out NIFA's website...lots of good OR education and they have basically a half-price sale on the RNFA cert for NP's through the end of the month. Probably worth talking to them as I have never known them to have a sale. Also check out Welcome ...

OP, please don't make the mistake of suffering from an overly developed sense of righteousness. If you find that "others" are always making mistakes and making things difficult for you, it may be time to self examine. Yes, you pointed out errors o...

Outstanding post JRN72! Just got hired as NP for GI practice and this post is just what I needed to read. Best wishes and thanks a million!!

Awesome thread! This is the kind of thing we need to see what is really out there and what we should be aiming for (at least down the road). Can anyone recommend any good resources for the "business" side of the NP role? Great stuff!

Maybe you could emphasize that you have ENOUGH experience and exposure to be good at the job but without the baggage of bad habits that sometimes comes with MORE experience. Also emphasize your ability to learn and find the answers. This is the app...

Go to ANCC website, choose "knowledge center", then "education", then "online courses" then "certification/online learning". Not the easiest site to navigate but good info.

Sorry to hear about the troubles. It really sounds like a test taking issue and just plain overload. I had to finally stop with all the sources and just choose one. I chose Hollier over Fitzgerald, b/c Hollier seemed more direct and to the point. ...

Just passed ANCC. Very interesting test. Found the ANCC test bank, ANCC test tips very helpful. Did Fitzgerald CD's and found them to be good, but too much extraneous information that is better reserved for actual practice. The most helpful by fa...

This was a great help to me. ANCC See the Test Taking strategies course; it includes tips and 50 test questions that show rationale & application of the test taking strategies.

Has anyone done a non-NP review course in addition to Fitzgerald or the others? Fitzgerald is great, but considering an online PANCE review package also.

Just graduated AGNP program AND have several offers. What's the problem? I can't even get a test date. Why must my program be accredited, then I must submit an app to the certifying body detailing which approved program I attended, then send them o...

Not surprised to hear that. CRNA's do have it together with regard to their certifying body and how they regulate themselves. They also do a better job of focusing on the hard science and what counts during their education, not to mention that they...

I too have been offered GI position. I've just graduated and a couple of orthos have mentioned interviews. I love ortho but don't love the hours they put in....my family situation just won't allow for it. The GI position is with a solid practice wh...

The supervising physician split sounds fishy. Is the supervising physician splitting their bonus with you?

Below is my response to the posts of others in another APN forum where a job was posted requiring ACNP and FNP certs. Some were quick to point out the wrongness of this job post. Is anyone else sick of this? Threads like this are what make PA's lau...
