    ER/ED Nurse Practitioner

    zoidberg replied to danceluver's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the key is to be working as an RN in the ER, and have a supervisor who is cooperative in your training and working with you as you do clinicals. Do all of your elective clinicals in the ED....

    This really makes me angry!!!!

    zoidberg replied to Seda8OR's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    while stealing the tests was NOT the right thing to do... they most likely still learned the information, and are safe clinicians. As the previous posters said, just let the professors know to change...

    Enough is enough- taking back our profession

    zoidberg replied to forrester's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    just to keep this rolling... in the current state of things, NP education is inadequate. Np's should not be set free to practice independently because they will attempt to practice medicine, not...

    FNP question

    zoidberg replied to Losingfaith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    another thought, you could try to get a job in the ER working with psych patients, or in a psych unit, or part time in both. Depending on the ER you may be able to cover patients who are victims of...

    FNP question

    zoidberg replied to Losingfaith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    you could: stay an RN, go into forensic nursing, get SANE certified (dont know much about it) be a Psych NP, i think there is a family psych np cert, you could maybe be FNP/PMHNP dual certified to...

    MD vs NP in the picu setting

    zoidberg replied to dyslexicandetermined's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    good thing about nursing: its okay not to know what you want to do. A four year BSN is one of the best undergrad choices. you can still take your pre med courses and go to med school if that is what...

    How do I become an ortho NP?

    zoidberg replied to melodys's topic in Orthopedic

    look at the MSN page, it is at the bottom after all of the main MSN foci. They let an NP add the courses to their curriculum, i.e. an ANP/FNP adding the ortho in their elective class

    zoidberg replied to Nelly, FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    this is old but... in NC the state is CONSTANTLY posting jobs for NP's needed in the prisons here. The state is always needing Psych NP's in state funded addiction, rehabs, and psychiatric hospitals,...

    np before crna?

    zoidberg posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    would like to hear if anyone went from np to crna, or if that would make one's goals seem clouded. would becoming an np to show ones graduate level success be counterproductive, or should i just take...

    i am not, but im doing an accelerated bsn with the intent to be a crna (dont tell! haha) i did a biology undergrad and the school's organic professors were notorious for being unnecessarily difficult,...

    Why NP instead of MD, DO, or PA?

    zoidberg replied to Loux's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Pros and Cons, very brief. these are stereotypes, and do not describe all areas of the US. and, there are always exceptions to the generalizations. PROS: NP-more autonomy than PAs in some states,...

    Reproductive Endocrinology NP

    zoidberg replied to danceluver's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    i would go FNP and take supplemental repro classes. you could probably find a job in a fertility clinic as an FNP and take some graduate level physiology/endocrine/repro classes to improve your base....

    Requirements for Vanderbilt Nurse Practitioner Program

    zoidberg replied to wolfeha's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    from talking to PA programs, which is similar to the direct entry at vandy, the GRE is not used so much to rank students but as to show that students with a lower gpa have academic potencial. Even so,...

    zoidberg replied to dottimur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    i would look for an AG-NP or AG-ACNP, there are only a few, but the regular anp and acnp are being retired. they provide more education in geriatric patients. i think south alabama has an online...
