  1. CEN book

    pro-student replied to FL ER Nurse's topic in Emergency

    I used these two books to study: PASS CEN!, 1e:Amazon:Books More in depth and more ICU-type content than will be on the CEN exam but still the most thorough and comprehensive source I've come across....

  2. ACNP hemodynamics

    pro-student replied to kathrn99's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Personally, I'd recommend Hemodynamic Monitor Made Incredibly Visual which has both an excellent review of the physiology as well as monitoring modalities. It's nice because its written primarily RNs...

  3. When did you feel ready to be on your own?

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

    I'm still a SNM so I can't offer a concrete answer to your question but maybe some perspective. So when you become a CNM and might look for work at a birth center, how much experience would you hope...

  4. Certified Nurse Midwife - Masters degree or more?

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

    http://www.midwife.org/ACNM/files/ccLibraryFiles/Filename/000000002731/Practice%20Doctorate%20in%20Midwifery%20Sept%202011.pdf The ACNM has no plans to change the entry into practice degree for CNMs...

  5. Why can't years of nursing experience count as credits towards a MSN

    pro-student replied to Willie54's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not at an accredited school. Accreditation bodies will not allow schools to award academic credit simply for "life or work experience." The main reason being that there is no way to evaluate the rigor...

  6. Fallout of Obamacare Question: Best Advanced Nursing Degree To Pursue?

    pro-student replied to asiangal's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This!But to answer the OPs question, all segments of healthcare are likely to see a significant increase with more patients being insured, more will be able to afford and will seek care. This includes...

  7. Vanderbilt ACNP Intensivist Program

    pro-student replied to JStrib's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm a Vanderbilt student although not in the ACNP program. The intensivist focus is brand new at the school and I'm pretty sure they have not graduated the first class yet. I have a friends in both...

  8. APRNs should only be DNPs!

    pro-student replied to Lovanurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree with the above poster in that the DNP is a practice-based degree though not necessarily limited to clinical practice. I have closely followed the DNP development from inception and, while some...

  9. pediatric Nurse Midwife

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

    danceluver, I'm at Vanderbilt. I'm actually not a direct-entry nurse (I did an ADN after my bachelor's instead). But I don't have any L&D experience as an RN and probably won't be landing a job...

  10. Straight to FNP or work full-time first?

    pro-student replied to Matt799's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Myelin, I completely agree. I'm not a direct-entry nurse but all the ones I've interacted with bring really incredible experiences to the field. I would contend that they are really strengthening...

  11. pediatric Nurse Midwife

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

    My dual specialty FNP/CNM program is two years (5 semesters, including one summer) full-time. I think this pretty much the norm (off the top of my health, Emory is the same length and so is U Mich, I...

  12. Straight to FNP or work full-time first?

    pro-student replied to Matt799's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    unfortunately, this kind of thinking is quite common especially in the older generation of nurses. i'm a brand new nurse and as well as a grad student at one of the highest ranked nursing programs in...

  13. pediatric Nurse Midwife

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

    U Mich's pediatric nurse midwife program in pretty new and, to the best of my knowledge, is the only formal program which combines PNP and CNM preparation. I've never meet anyone who had these two...
