  1. Aesthetic NPs??

    BChapp3182 replied to Aesthetic NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've done aesthetic medicine as an RN for a few years. Like any job, it has it's ups and downs. Huge difference is you are selling your services to customers as opposed to having them come running...

  2. Burned out as a RN, but happy as a NP?

    BChapp3182 replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did not have any RN experience before starting FNP program. I am at the top of my class. Experience can have it's good and bad points. You should be entering the FNP with basic RN knowledge...

  5. Ideas for finding clinical sites.

    BChapp3182 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In August I'm due to start my peds clinical. The catch is, at my school we can't do inpatient or perform the clinical at our place of employment. I am supposed to cold call offices and ask if I can...

    BChapp3182 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for all the great tips. I'm going to join the Florida local NP organization this week and see if I can't get some contacts with that. If any generous FNP's reading this are in south Florida...

    BChapp3182 replied to Hind12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know that in FL use of lasers and light based devices can only be used by NPs, PAs, MD/DO and electrologists with training and direct supervision. Tattoo removal requires use of a laser. Also, for...

  9. Ideas for finding clinical sites.

    BChapp3182 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I purposly went to a brick and mortar school vs. an online school because I assumed clinicals would be arranged. Especially at $5,000 per semester! It's kept "hush-hush" that they don't provide...

  10. Aesthetics Nursing

    BChapp3182 replied to NurseKimberley's topic in Aesthetics

    I had my own skin care line, private label, made at a lab with fantastic ingredients. Much stonger and better than anything you could find at a store, it actually worked. But, it didn't sell. I've...

  11. What's the deal with Recertification?

    BChapp3182 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm an FNP student and I can not understand why NP's are required to get recertified via examination every 5 years for the rest of their career. Doctors, RNs, PT's, etc have no such thing. So why do...

  12. What's the deal with Recertification?

    BChapp3182 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I believe in one of my role development classes we were told we actually have to sit for a re-certification exam, not just show ceu's. I didn't know doctors had to re-certify, that makes me feel...

    BChapp3182 replied to 12breakfree's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The fastest way I know of getting NP degree is at university of miami. They have a one year full time program where you go to school every day. You would not be able to work during this program. I am...

  14. Aesthetics Nursing

    BChapp3182 replied to NurseKimberley's topic in Aesthetics

    I wanted to give my two cents here. I've been an aesthetic nurse since 2005, have my own med spa. I would have done better and made more money without all the stress by just being a regular floor...

  15. States NPs can work independently

    BChapp3182 replied to np_wannabe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You need to take a look at a yearly publication called the Pearson Report. It lists all the states legislation, NP rights, billing, and so much more info. I do believe you have to pay like $20 for...

    BChapp3182 replied to nur2007sing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I was in the same situation as you. I have a BS in Biology gpa 3.2 and an ADN. I was also an LPN for 13 years which the school did not take into consideration. I did take the Miller Test and...

    BChapp3182 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BChapp3182 replied to mharrah's topic in Aesthetics

    Well Agnus if you want to get technical yes your right.:offtopic: NPs don't practice medicine. What I was trying to convey was a catch all phrase showing that NPs are near equivalent to family docs...

  21. Peels and micro together

    BChapp3182 replied to mharrah's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi, I have previously done peels and microderm together but have taken it off my menu. I'm assuming your talking about medical grade peels (pH The reason I took it off the menu is that regardless of...

  22. More aesthetic roadblocks

    BChapp3182 replied to mharrah's topic in Aesthetics

    As an NP you can practice medicine. You would open your own practice the same way a doctor would. I believe in most states you will still need a medical director. Now, if you plan to do facials and...
