  1. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    pro-student replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I said was not up for debate was in response to another poster who said the same thing (although she got her facts 100% incorrect). That was about top NP schools not requiring bedside...

  2. Trump budget axes financial aid to Nursing Education

    pro-student replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Trump is clearly the devil incarnate but somehow he stumbled on a not totally unreasonable idea. We do not have a nursing shortage in this country, rather we have an excess of RNs and estimates are...

  3. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    pro-student replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't d ebatable it's just false. The top nursing schools not only do not require bedside RN experience, they also tend to have direct entry NP programs for non-nurses.And your comments about...

  4. Did you learn how to study during prerequisites?

    pro-student replied to Skippy97's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing classes are very different from prerequisites. There is a volume of information to not only understand but be able to apply and critically evaluate. The only way it is possible to make sense...

  5. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    pro-student replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think experience at the bedside necessarily translates into experience as an APN. Sure it can be helpful sometimes but it can also be a lot of learning the wrong thing. There's good reason an...

  6. New job, share that I am pregnant?

    pro-student replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    By the time you would take maternity leave, you will not qualify for FMLA and, as such, they are not obligated to accept you back into an equivalent position after you return (or accept you back at...

  7. Nursing and the Sabbath

    pro-student replied to kdf6404's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Some facilities will be willing to work with you but generally rotating weekends in the norm in healthcare. Instead of every other weekend, I have heard of nurses working every Saturday and having...

  8. Thinking about jumping ship, need perspective

    pro-student replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    If you know what you want to do and it makes sense, I think that's what you SHOULD do. Three years and three different positions sounds like you made a valiant effort to make things work. If nursing...

  9. CNM programs that allow you to practice if you're already a CPM

    pro-student replied to homesteader's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I don't know of any specific programs that would allow this but even if they don't have a specific prohibition against it, I would think it would be heavily discouraged. It would be a very odd...

  10. Frontier RN-MSN. Bachelor's issue?

    pro-student replied to BCAN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It probably wouldn't matter once you earn your MSN. If you want to be sure, email the program you are thinking of and ask directly. Pretty much any university is going to consider your transcript more...

  11. MSN vs DNP for NNP

    pro-student replied to Nicunurse13's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is really a personal choice. All things being equal, it would make the most sense finishing you MSN and then complete a DNP if you choose. However, all things are not equal. You're really the...

  12. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    pro-student replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's a problem at all. It's not uncommon for students to have ambitious plans while in school. Many business undergrads plan on getting MBAs or advancing up the corporate ladder. Tons of...

  13. NP Residencies

    pro-student replied to anastasiavs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Capital Health Hospital in New Jersey has a neuroscience fellowship Capital Health Hospitals | New Jersey & Eastern Pennsylvania Lahey Hospital in Massachusetts has a derm fellowship however they...

  14. Fox News says patients waiting to see a doctor will have to "settle for a nurse instead"

    pro-student replied to FrancineRNfrannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Watching fox "news" is asking to be misinformed and lied

  15. A Nursing student about to graduate and am completely terrified. Anyone else???

    pro-student replied to BlueHearts53's topic in General Nursing

    I second everything Ruby Vee said. Imposter syndrome is very real and it is total normal to come to the end of nursing school and still feel unsure of your ability to function as a new grad. The key...

  16. Rn course

    pro-student replied to Jillpanchal85's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on the college you want to get your BSN from and how many credits they accept. Assuming you have completed all the general education requirements, you will still need to complete...

  17. Chris Christie in charge of Trump's Opioid Commission

    pro-student replied to Emergent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Christie is a particularly poor choice to lead efforts to combat opiate addiction because, as a former federal prosecutor, he approaches this issue strictly from a criminal justice issue. We all know...

  18. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    pro-student replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why shouldn't Planned Parenthood be reimbursed for the medical services they provide? Many many other healthcare providers/organizations that also perform abortions are also reimbursed for the...

  19. Bad Habits Picked up from being an L&D RN?

    pro-student replied to strawberrycupcakes's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The bad habits from L&D largely stem from the fact that most of the patients you'd likely care for will be managed in a very medical way (e.g. - continuous EFM, NPO during labor, encouraged to lie...

  20. NP in the OR

    pro-student replied to birdie22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you want to work in the OR, RNFA is definite something you need/want behind you name. As far as NP specialty, that really only matters if you'd also be providing the surgical patient APN-level...

  21. NPs working Nights

    pro-student replied to mdevine22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the difference re: sleeping is whether you're on-call or on-shift. In the first, sleeping is totally cool if there's nothing going on. The point is that you're able to jump into action if/when...

  22. National Health Service Corps Scholarship and Loan Repayment Programs

    pro-student replied to jmmcgill44's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The National Health Services Corps does not provide any funding for CRNAs. Their focus on primary care and mental health services for underserved areas. The only APRNs eligible are FNP, AGNP (primary...

  23. AANP ENP CERT

    pro-student replied to synaptic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's an awfully narrow-minded view. The point of a certification like the ENP is to validate the level of knowledge/achievement as an emergency provider. I get that you don't want it but that's...

  24. PMHNP and CNM?

    pro-student replied to Egeria's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's a great idea, I've considered it myself especially since there seems to be essential 0 providers that feel comfortable caring for women with mental health issues. It also seems like a no woman's...

  25. Best midwifery schools?

    pro-student replied to futuremidwifejenn's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It depends on how you learn best and how quickly you want to make your way to Washington. Next door in Portland, OHSU has an excellent program. Seattle University is pretty good as well. Also on the...
