  1. Interesting Study Comparing NP vs MD Outcomes for Cardiac Patients

    guest538567 replied to guest538567's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes. As consistent research demonstrates this, it will continue to prove value and further the advancement and autonomy of NP

  2. Interesting Study Comparing NP vs MD Outcomes for Cardiac Patients

    guest538567 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone read this report that compares outcomes for cardiac patients among MD and NPPs? It seems there were no differences in quality of care between MD and NP providers. The study will be published in...

  3. FNP vs NP vs CNS

    guest538567 replied to mills9229's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As the other posters have commented, I think the ACNP better fits your practice interests than FNP. There are still acute care CNS programs (ie. UVA's program) but I think they are more geared towards...

  4. Do DNPs get compensated more

    guest538567 replied to nurselyfe4115's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There are several sites that perform salary analyses each year. According to the Advance Healthcare Network (no affiliation), masters prepared NPs earned an average of $100,585, while DNP prepared NPs...

  5. DNP Nursing Education

    guest538567 replied to SweetRaine's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The DNP will probably be the most expeditious route to a doctorate if that is a needed credential for your academic advancement. This may also be a less expensive option as there are online schools...

  6. Negotiating Salary -- Do it!

    guest538567 replied to juschillin's topic in Advanced Practice

    My first NP position also taught me the value in negotiating. I negotiated a $4,000 increase on the salary offer but only asked about CME and other benefits and did not include these in my formal...

  7. Teaching with a DNP Degree

    guest538567 replied to RN L.'s topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hello, Are you already a nurse? If not, then a few years of practice would be beneficial to help develop practice interests and guide you towards an advanced practice specialty. Some years of...

  8. NY post slams NPs

    guest538567 replied to ryguyRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Anyone read the study in JAMA from December that suggested reduced mortality rates for high risk heart failure and post cardiac arrest patients during the dates of the two national cardiology...

  9. NY post slams NPs

    guest538567 replied to ryguyRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am actually a NP and I don't know of anyone that would reasonably compare MD and NP training. However, this is not to say that nurse practitioners are not prepared to provide primary care services...

  10. ANP wants to get credentialed as FNP

    guest538567 replied to kitty9898's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow. I wonder if they changed the curriculum. I had contacted them a year ago and the woman that answered the phone noted that I was calling from another state on caller ID and indicated that this...

  11. cheapest DNP online

    guest538567 replied to mer5992002's topic in Post Graduate Students

    University of Alabama has a 100% online DNP for post-masters students that is $354 per credit. It was the least expensive I found from a reputable school. They charge in-state tuition for online...

  12. Becoming a (d)NP with only OR experience?

    guest538567 replied to mhy12784's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Have you thought about becoming a PA? I see more PAs involved in the preoperative realm than NPs. You would actually gain valuable surgical experience and have opportunities for postgraduate...

  13. ANP wants to get credentialed as FNP

    guest538567 replied to kitty9898's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know nothing about these programs and cannot speak to the quality of their respective curricula. However, I suspect that the abbreviated program is likely full time (ie. every day) to condense the...

  14. ANP wants to get credentialed as FNP

    guest538567 replied to kitty9898's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ISU looks like it can be completed in 16 months online On-Line Family Nurse Practitioner Post-Master's Certificate | Indiana State Online | Indiana State

  15. ANP wants to get credentialed as FNP

    guest538567 replied to kitty9898's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This looks like another program. Program: Family Nurse Practitioner (P.M.C.) - McNeese State University - Acalog

  16. ANP wants to get credentialed as FNP

    guest538567 replied to kitty9898's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am an ANP that has considered a post-masters FNP. The shortest program I found was Southeastern Louisiana University which is 14 weeks although you had to travel to the school. I have seen postings...

  17. Do I need to keep RN license active?

    guest538567 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Be careful what you wish. I 'm an advocate of NPs being regulated under the board of nursing and think this is the ideal solution. The alternative in some states is oversight by the medical board or a...

  18. Do I need to keep RN license active?

    guest538567 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can always try to negotiate licensing fees into your work compensation. My employer pays for both my RN license and annual NP practice approval as well as DEA and other licensing

  19. Prn/part time pay

    guest538567 replied to Nursetonp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Where is the location of the practice? I honestly think this is a very low offer. I have two part time positions in addition to my full time job. One pays 55/hour and the other 65/patient. What is the...

  20. Do I need to keep RN license active?

    guest538567 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll add that some states (particularly those without independent practice) your RN license may be the only true license you have. For example in NC, you have an RN license and have an approval to...

  21. Help!! Any kaplan alum out there?

    guest538567 replied to SamanthaBSNtoDNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree with the previous poster. I would have concern with credibility of these online, for profit programs. I have not known any graduate from this or similar programs but would think that the...

  22. Soon to be NP. Nervous.

    guest538567 replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will mirror the previous posts. I would much rather a new NP be nervous than overconfident. In my opinion the most important aspect in a new position is a good orientation and mentor-ship with your...

  23. AGNP vs FNP

    guest538567 replied to NP2BeNY's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am assuming you are in an ACNP program? I think you are speaking to a broader problem with NP education and the reality of actual practice. I would agree that an ACNP should have more acute care...

  24. AGNP vs FNP

    guest538567 replied to NP2BeNY's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, I think your RN experience can be very helpful in obtaining an NP position. Having critical care or hospital based experience at the RN level would likely give you preference over a new grad NP...

  25. AGNP vs FNP

    guest538567 replied to NP2BeNY's topic in Advanced Practice

    The OP asked about marketability of FNP vs ANP. As an ANP/AGNP I think that the FNP has the current edge on marketability as the scope of practice is broader (ie. can see pediatrics). However there...
