Hello! I own a LLC and currently have malpractice offered through my contracts (I work as an independent contractor). I am branching out and am starting aesthetics and house calls. I have a supervising MD> Do I need to insure my company (llc)? ...

i am so glad to see this!

Has anyone done an online program? I a Clinical Nurse Specialist student (I've taken all my classes literally with FNP students). I would like to get my NP online in a short amount of time since I will be already an APN in my state (I am moving an...

I am moving to RI to be with my husband after finishing my MSN. We will live next to Massachusetts. I am currently getting my adult gero CNS...I love this degree in Texas because it's APRN...in RI and Mass, it's not even recognized APRN! Not sure w...

The first time I took and failed my NCLEX after 110 questions, I was shocked. I was a great student (all As a few high Bs). I did awesome in clinical. I studied all of May with Saunders and got 65% or more on all practice exams with Saunders. I b...

Do you know of a good online program? that is affordable?

I've created a facebook group for CNS/CNS students in the USA. We can network, post jobs and information regarding our cherished title!

Have no fear! All you have to do is apply for NP jobs and write on your resume and cover letter that you are an APN! Say that you HAVE PRESCRIPTIVE AUTHORITY, since that is all they are looking for. Perhaps it says NP b/c it's more popular and the...

I just used the Kaplan book.

Don't give up on the CNS role! If more of us do that, it won't exist! https://www.facebook.com/groups/207511052751786/

OP, ALWAYS negotiate your salary. Even if hubbs has a good one. We aprns as a group need to raise our salaries or at least keep them from dropping.

Can adult health CNS practice psychiatry?

YES! This is WHY we aren't getting the same pay! NEGOTIATE people!

I think we, as APNs SHOULD negotiate higher salaries. We sell ourselves short. Listen, you ARE in-demand. When we ALL don't negotiate and allow others to low-ball us, then it brings all our salaries down. Negotiate and know your worth. Always as...

i failed and the pvt trick too me to the cc page.

i got the CC page too and I am one of the top in my program...:/ I'll know for sure tomorrow, but I haven't stopped crying for the past day. I've never been so sad.

I took nclex-rn today with 85 questions. I felt like it wasn't that hard. I thought there was a good chance I passed (I took the HESI for practice and got 810). I tried the PVT and it takes me to the credit card screen without a popup. I am deva...

email and linkedin. check with local universities. they often email students that are graduating soon and they are looking for work.

I am going to school to be a CNS. I have three questions. 1. Can an adult CNS work at a primary care clinic (as long as he is only seeing adult patients)? Or would this be out of the scope of practice? I know they generally work in specialty cli...

Thanks for responding! This is helpful! What type of clinic are you opening? I'm adult care CNS so I don't know what type of clinic to open that would be viable since I can't see children.

Can a cns switch specialty? I'm interested in cardiology and dermatology

I'm also interested in Urology (probably more than cardiology) but I don't know what the job would entail. Would I have to do any invasive procedures? ANyone work in this field?

traumarus and other CNS's: What jobs have you all held (and in what field) as a CNS. For example did you work for hospice as a CNS and then work in oncology and then endocrinology, etc. ? Do we have much flexibility as CNS's?

Would derm be considered a med-surg area then?

would it be unlikely to be able to switch from derm to psych. You see, right now, I'm mostly interested in derm, but I don't need a lot of positions for this in my area. I see more in psych. I'd like to study derm and try to get in the field but i...
