  1. Forced to Drop Due to Clinical Placement

    Telenurse1990 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I guess I’m just kind of looking for some guidance. This is a long post. I’m attending UAB for their acute care program. This semester was supposed to be my first clinical semester but...

  2. Forced to Drop Due to Clinical Placement

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My main issue is that they said that in the event they are unable to place or the student is unable to find a clinical site, then they could arrange it in Birmingham. I found three clinical sites for...

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  4. ACNP - Will I be missing out?

    Telenurse1990 replied to Apple2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    I know it’s good to plan your route and all. But please get at the very least a FEW years of experience and do all you can to excel in that role. There are so many things to learn as a ED nurse and...

    Telenurse1990 posted a topic in Critical Care

    So my husband and I recently decided to move to Chicago to pursue grad school. My background is mostly in Cardiac ICU.Any advice on the hospitals in the area? I wanted to apply to Loyola but after...

  6. Good online NP Program

    Telenurse1990 replied to desertrose501's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I Couldn't agree more. To the original poster, do yourself a favor. Hold off and apply to a decent school with a reputation, clinical placement and some sort of standards to be upheld. Especially for...

  7. Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    Telenurse1990 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Please. Physicians do stuff like this and regularly are not held to the same standards as a nurse would be. I know of a few specific incidents where physicians have removed the wrong kidney and have...

  8. For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

    Telenurse1990 replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well said. I get so annoyed with people who don’t see the main point. It hurts the profession. Plain and simple. It’s not a hard concept to understand. You go go to Walden for what purpose? A set...

  9. Brightwood Closing ALL Campuses!

    Telenurse1990 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

  10. FNP opportunities

    Telenurse1990 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was recently accepted into Simmons college out of of Boston, MA. I've heard really great things about their program and am excited to go to a legit program. With that that being said, it is very...

  11. Brightwood Closing ALL Campuses!

    Telenurse1990 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    I went to a "chain school" and have done just fine. But not all are equal. My school required a Passing TEAS test score and was actually regionally accredited. I know people who went to Brightwood...

  12. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Telenurse1990 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We did it! | Sawyer Initiative Apparently, this just happened. I look at it on the CCNE website as well. Any thoughts? I feel like this should have been the standard all

  13. Vanderbilt ACNP

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah, I got an odd answer from them as well. For 1500 + a per credit hour? No thank

  14. Vanderbilt ACNP

    Telenurse1990 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Anyone have any feedback on Vanderbilts ACNP program? I can't seem to get a straight answer as to whether or not they hold students responsible for their clinical placement or if they assist at all....

  15. Vanderbilt ACNP

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would if necessary. But I can't imagine cold calling and begging for clinical

  16. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Its because its becoming a fad and sets an unrealistic expectation for students. Also because their lack of experience and willingness to go to any school that will get them licensed is ultimately...

  17. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I get so much crap sometimes because I absolutely can not stand this new culture that has exploded on social media with nurses with less than a year of experience giving advice of getting into a...

  18. Worried about the future of ICU nursing

    Telenurse1990 posted a topic in Critical Care

    I just recently started a new job as an ICU nurse at a large facility in California and some trends I've noticed over the years have stuck out to me. It worries me when I walk into a new facility,...

  19. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah. Its not wonder doctors are pushing so hard against NPs having independent practice. I almost don't blame them. I wish that all NP programs were modeled like CRNA

  20. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's sad for the students who have had to drop out of school due to lack of clinical sites. I hope some of these programs are forced to shut down. It's an absolute ripoff that schools do not provide...

  21. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We did it! | Sawyer Initiative Try copy and paste. It's actually on the CCNE website as the new accreditation standard for 2019 that schools are responsible for providing adequate clinical sites....

  22. Veteran Nurses : advise please

    Telenurse1990 replied to kjsister's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Pick up a PCCN review book and study for that test. What's your patient population? Is it truly a cardiac step down or is it a mix? The PCCN review book is a good start for you to review all the...

  23. Septic vs Cardiogenic Shock?

    Telenurse1990 replied to TNnurse91's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Labs. Elevated Lactate, procal, elevated CRP, WBC would indicate sepsis. For cardiogenic shock: troponin, myoglobin, Pro-BNP. ECG changes and of course, typical s/s of pump failure; wet lungs,...

  24. Worried about the future of ICU nursing

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Critical Care

    I agree. Here in California, staff nursing is not a bad gig and you have the potential to earn a great salary. The pay difference between advanced providers and RNs isn't that much. I've worked in...

  25. Worried about the future of ICU nursing

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Critical Care

    I understand your point, but in reality, the number of ARNPs is set to outpace the need for them (in primary care). NP programs have pitifully low standards and many have subpar educational standards....
