  4. Can a NP practice after graduating before taking their Boards?

    SkiBumNP replied to cates08's topic in Advanced Practice

    this depends on both the state you are in and the job you are working. In CA i know that once your name is up on the BRN website you can start working if your employer is OK with it. Most private...

  5. Masters Entry Programs - Is a BSN necessary to practice as an NP in some states?

    SkiBumNP replied to junipers's topic in Advanced Practice

    SkiBumNP replied to treejay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. Nursing Student work in ICU or ER before becoming ACNP?

    SkiBumNP replied to LexSavDav's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you should make your decision after you take a good hard look at what you want to do as an ACNP. If you want to work as a hospitalist or a specialist then i would gain ICU experience. but if...

  14. Is the market becoming saturated with NPs??

    SkiBumNP replied to DroogieRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would take a hard look at what you want to do with your MSN. If you want to be a primary provider then go the NP/PA route. But if you want to work as an RN then look more at the CNS programs that...

  16. compensation for new grad emergency medicine fellowship

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

    I DO wish i had gone to PA school. From what i have seen with my NP program, and other "top" programs, is that the actual MEDICINE is lacking in the didactic portion. I was lucky and was able to take...

  19. Any male NP's out there?

    SkiBumNP replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    WOW, isn't it funny the responses over my little comment. I think my aversion to the nursing model of care is that I don't see the use for it. When i am treating a patient in the ED for an UTI, I am...

  21. compensation for new grad emergency medicine fellowship

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

    I can see by the overwhelming response that i am probably being petty and a wee bit greedy. many of my new grad colleagues are getting more, but none of them quite have the training opportunity I...

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