    NLJ88, please know that some of us do believe in the culture of safety and transparency, where we support each other and do try to figure out how to do this nursing thing better. I worked one day in...

    SHGR replied to Nurzelady's topic in Advanced Practice

    TraumaRus, I know you feel you made some less-than-ideal choices about your grad education, but nobody can know the future, of the economy or of decisions by the ANCC or the AACN. There will always be...

    Should I get my CCRN before my FNP? Opinions please...

    SHGR replied to Pachinko's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just a question to consider- why are you doing a FNP program rather than an acute NP? If your heart lies in ICU/critical care, maybe you would be happier in that field, rather than in a primary...

    possible to work during NP school? or loans?

    SHGR replied to kelso1001's topic in Post Graduate Students

    In my experience, most people work while in NP school. I work at a clinic that attracts RN's that want to go to school, and NP students getting clinical hours- most of them working also- so I've seen...

    SHGR replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They may know this concept but not by the name "core measures." I know the recommendations and keep up on the new stuff, but I would have asked for clarification on what the interviewer meant by that...

    A proposal for the future of advance nursing practice

    SHGR replied to hoosier guy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A proposal for the future of advance nursing practice

    SHGR replied to hoosier guy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
