  1. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    reggaemuffin replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No not necessarily. We have an entirely run NP service for inpatients- some of those we will not round with the attending. That said, if a patient is more complicated or there's outstanding issues we...

  2. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    reggaemuffin replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I totally agree with some of these sketchy for profit schools somehow getting accredited and churning out new NPs that have no business practicing. It infuriates me to see these programs take students...

  3. Help (Seattle/WA): AGPC-NP jobs?

    reggaemuffin replied to jontinRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yowza!! 90 grand??? My program was less than half of that. Is this a DNP program? Do you have any other options for schools? I love being an NP and make pretty good money but it wouldn't offset 90...

  4. Terminated. Pursue a Lawsuit?

    reggaemuffin replied to ERgirlynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would not assume that you are out of the woods yet as far as the BON goes. I've read many stories on here about nurses who were reported without being informed. Unfortunately because so many BONs...

  5. Cardiac Nurse Practitioners

    reggaemuffin replied to MeechiesRNBSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are multiple different roles for NPs in cardiology. Some do the job another poster described above. I work in the CPRU so I do H&Ps on patients prior to caths, ablations, pacers/biv ICDs...

  6. terminated RN

    reggaemuffin replied to har14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You have been given very sound advice especially from 1sttime. Cannot emphasize enough how important it is to carefully choose a facility for your evaluation. If the facility is associated with an...

  7. Advice needed!! Waiting on drug screen and its been 7 days!!

    reggaemuffin replied to lvnpredicament's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It came back positive and you had only used rubbing alcohol? I use that on my face all the time and have never had a problem. I was under the impression it did not produce the same metabolites as...

  8. ADN degree with DUI probation.

    reggaemuffin replied to rambo33's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You have two DUIs on your record ? Or just one? You may want to start preparing for the worst case scenario- which is you would be denied licensure but afforded opportunity for a hearing. Then if you...

  9. NP after in treatment?

    reggaemuffin replied to summerly's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When I renew my NP license I am not asked any different questions then for my RN. Is that the

  10. OR nurse, Which major I can in for master degree

    reggaemuffin replied to mercyshiper-sky's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't really know any NPs in the OR- I'm sure there are some but I would think they would be ACNPs rather than FNP. Also keep in mind that NP is an entire different role than RN. It's not the same...

  11. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    reggaemuffin replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    So she should stay in a job she hates so we can someone to take care of the next elderly generation? This old vs young cliche is so played out. I actually worked with, wait for it, many older nurses...

  12. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    reggaemuffin replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    What makes her post so nasty? She's relating her experiences as a bedside nurse. So anybody who doesn't like nursing is nasty and negative? I hated bedside nursing - wouldn't do it again for any...

  13. So I kind of messed up

    reggaemuffin replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    No legal trouble so cross that one off the list of worries. I can't think of any scenario where it would show up on any future drug tests. You have no board of nursing to be reported to. Chalk it up...

  14. So I kind of messed up

    reggaemuffin replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    Well it's a bummer but it's not the end of the world. Let's say the worst happens and they rescind your admittance. There's nothing stopping you from applying to other nursing schools. If what you say...

  15. Can anyone find this study, people bring this topic up in their posts at times?

    reggaemuffin replied to mimicarey's topic in Advanced Practice

    Skimmed too quick and misread. Never heard anything on the actual topic at

  16. Can anyone find this study, people bring this topic up in their posts at times?

    reggaemuffin replied to mimicarey's topic in Advanced Practice

    https://www.nursingeconomics.net/ce/2013/article3001021.pdf when I was in graduate school this was the study referred to most often. NPs performed on par or better in all categories evaluated. There...

  17. Becoming an NP after discipline

    reggaemuffin replied to 10yearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My hospital provides up to a million in malpractice insurance. So if you plan to practice as an NP in a hospital, you should be provided with something similar. I do know a few docs in recovery that...

  18. Not sure what to do next. Please Help!!

    reggaemuffin replied to Lilychache's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm assuming you are talking about your NP certification exam- what speciality- adult, acute care, family? And what exam are you taking for the AANP? Usually you take one certification exam by the...

  19. Debating between doing Psych NP and FNP

    reggaemuffin replied to danse87's topic in General Nursing

    DNPs do not make more money. The issue is that they are threatening to make a DNP the educational minimum for NPs- although who knows if that will actually happen... Ive actually heard the exact...

  20. Reasons to lose nursing license?

    reggaemuffin replied to Srobbins2310's topic in General Nursing

    Poor caregiver must've gotten quite the shock when that woman leapt out of wheelchair with her bum arm to quote, attack her with a toilet lid. Too funny. I take my kicks where I can get

  21. Considerations for a true practice doctorate

    reggaemuffin replied to twozer0's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Could not agree more. I used to think all NPs received the same basic level of education. Then we recently had a new grad NP join us for a program I had never heard of. She was so incompetent that...

  22. Msn choice 1million schools

    reggaemuffin replied to Twigmaster12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What type of degree are you looking for? I didn't think there were all online NP programs- if they are you at least have to have clinical rotations in local setting. Be careful with these for profit...

  23. Millionth Time: Yes on app - IN

    reggaemuffin replied to Dreamed's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Why mention the methadone if you will be off of it before you even graduate from nursing school? Mentioning it either way won't mean much in terms of whether you get placed into a monitoring program....

  24. Who still works as a floor nurse?

    reggaemuffin replied to OCRN3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Think long and hard before accepting that position. It may be hard for your RN coworkers to respect your new position, especially if it involves giving them orders. I had a friend who did this and it...

  25. AACN ACNPC-AG boards

    reggaemuffin replied to jnewman435's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A lot of scenario type questions.. Don't expect many "memorization" type questions. Dont want to intimidate you, just wanted to give a heads up. Also just as an aside, I love being an NP - it is a...
