I started this program and dropped when I became pregnant. I worked part time and had 1 other 5 year old. I dropped bc my little one demands my attention. Unless you have a strong support system like baby sitter and your job is lenient on schedule, you should not do it. There is no way you can work full time and have a 1 year old and do this program happily. You may be able to do it but the quality of you education won't be as good and you will be very very stressed out. I believed I could wait a few years until my youngest started school so that I can restart. This is my honest opinion based on my own experience. My coworker is older, has adult children and she had to work part time to be able to do the program. On top of that our job is very lenient.

If it's expunged, then you don't need to disclose it. Period. UNLESS it specifically says to list expunged cases, I never disclose mine. I only had to disclose it to the BRN and only because they asked. I understand you want to be honest, but unless they ask for the info, don't give it.

Thank you for the thorough response! I’m starting to think that collaboration is something we can do without being forced to supervision and collaboration. Physicians very often collaborate with each other. Being independent doesn’t mean that we’ll never mean help, it means that we can freely treat patients within our scope of practice and full extent of our education and training. I can see how such complicated patients may benefit from such collaboration. Thank you for all you do!

I appreciate your input. And totally agree with you. NPs have a more holistic approach to patient care (from what I am starting to see). It doesn’t have to be a competition. Sadly, AMA makes it seem that way. It’s about patient safety and access to equal care. There has been some MD associations that support NP independence because they see the work and quality care they can give.

Thanks for the response. NP certification toward independent practice definitely needs a lot of work. But we’re headed that way whether AMA likes it or not. ? I would never ask anyone to write my paper neither will I be using any of your ideas since they are not congruent with my topic question.

Please elaborate on your response, how does this applies to ALL nurse practitioners and not to any MDs as your post suggests. Also, is the response meant to be constructive and a response to the original question or something totally off topic. Thank you.

Amazing. Thank you for the response.

Thank you for the response. Do you feel safer with a physician overlooking your work? Do you feel it is necessary?

Hello! I am currently studying to become a nurse practitioner and I am writing a paper about the lack of independence NPs face in California. I would like to know what it's like to work with a physician in the sense of supervision. My idea is that they don't actually read all your care plans and micromanage but I really have no idea. I know the medical association strongly opposes NPs becoming independent because of a safety issue but is it really that or that they don't want us to take over the field? Has there been a time when a physician corrects your care plan? or disagrees with your treatment? Do you think we should be supervised or not? Does your state allow independent practice? I'm just trying to get some real answers from NPs in the field. Thanks!

Hi! Had anyone recently taken the 3P exam by APEA? It’s a requirement for American Sentinal FNP program. Would like to know what it was like to take the exam (is it proctored and if so, how; did you run out of time; when did you take it; etc.) and what did you use to study. I got the 3 Q banks. Thanks in advance!
