    Is CRNA school as difficult as people said?

    SlyFoxRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I consider myself to have above average intelligence and did fairly well in college (a top 20 private university). Last year, I decided medical school wasn't for me due mainly to the expense (4 years...

    Anyone Drop out of Online Program d/t lack of Preceptor?

    SlyFoxRN posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm looking into NP programs, some of which are online. The online ones don't set up the preceptor, and I don't know any FNPs or anyone who could serve as one. I'm worried this could cause me to have...

    NPs with no RN experience: How'd you do?

    SlyFoxRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just curious how NP's with little/no experience as a bedside RN felt upon graduation from NP school, and in your first job. Tell me a little about it. Do you feel you would have done better with more...

    Anyone find CRNA School EASIER than made out to be?

    Hey everyone, I consider myself to have above average intelligence and did fairly well in college (a top 20 private university). Last year, I decided medical school wasn't for me due mainly to the...

    PACU or ED for CRNA

    SlyFoxRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So I'm interested in being a CRNA, but I don't really like the ICU. I feel I could get the same experience with hemodynamics and vasoactive drips in PACU, as well as critical thinking, etc in the ED....

    Reputable but fairly priced online FNP

    SlyFoxRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi everyone, I'm an RN in California, just got my BSN recently and having trouble finding a job. I decided maybe I should just go straight on to my master's, but my local programs have wait lists and...

    University of southern Indiana fnp program

    SlyFoxRN replied to murphvans's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can tell you they are now part time only and full time is not an option. They are also very cheap and tend to get mixed reviews on

    Can NP's self prescribe?

    SlyFoxRN replied to VTach2013's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was talking about in restrictive states though, where the agreement is required. So if that is the offending comment I certainly didn't intend for it to be. As I said, I was referring to the example...

    Can NP's self prescribe?

    SlyFoxRN replied to VTach2013's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Juan, I'm very confused as to why you just responded to me in such a hostile manner. In the previous comment, you stated you weren't sure "how it came up" and I was giving you my viewpoint. I don't...

    Can NP's self prescribe?

    SlyFoxRN replied to VTach2013's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My guess is that in this state, a practice agreement must be drawn up between the NP and their supervising physician (aka: more restrictive state). For normal prescriptions involving patients of the...

    Can NP's self prescribe?

    SlyFoxRN replied to VTach2013's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This reprimand is not for prescribing to family...its for prescribing without physician authorization to a family member. In a independent practice state this would not

    New NP mistake

    SlyFoxRN replied to jamiejo05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You know, I'm always so annoyed by physicians that paint a whole group by one incident. You answered one question incorrectly so now she wants to hear from no NP studwnt ever again? If a med student...

    Can NP's self prescribe?

    SlyFoxRN replied to VTach2013's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Self-prescribe - no. It's questionable, and while I don't think there is any law per se, most nursing boards have "position statements" on it and list it as bad practice. Family members/friends -...

    New NP mistake

    SlyFoxRN replied to jamiejo05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    He'll come around. Lots of people - MDs, Med students, NPs, RNs, PAs - make mistakes. He understands you're new, and I think he's just a little concerned that you answered without knowing. If you're...

    A&P II with Micro...has anyone done it??

    SlyFoxRN replied to NeoNurse2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Orgo, Micro, A+P, labs, and a foreign language in the same semester, all at a top 20 ranked private school. It wasn't fun, but I did it without much trouble. As long as you set your mind to...

    Little experience as an RN

    SlyFoxRN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would also like to add that I don't blame you for hating hospital work. Hospital RNs are simply not treated well - long horrible hours, bad pay, administration that will treat you as the scapegoat...

    Little experience as an RN

    SlyFoxRN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    RN and NP is very different. Many of the top NP schools (Columbia, for example) have direct entry programs where you get a BSN and MSN in one. Being an experienced RN will certainly help as an NP, as...

    SlyFoxRN replied to MrChicagoRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It doesn't tell you anything about how they will act once on the job - it is a one time incident, and until a pattern is established, I do not agree with the human desire to hastily pass judgement. If...

    Collaborating physician problems

    SlyFoxRN replied to Othernothing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think I've made it quite clear that I am not an NP, so I will thank you for finding a different venue for trying to attack me for my views as you so often do. You're obsession with stalking me from...

    You're welcome. Don't let him bother you like that! His opinion doesn't matter. Think of this way: you're a new NP eager to learn and give high quality care to her patients. He's a physician who hired...
