  1. Vanderbilt - have they stopped securing preceptors, too?

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

    It depends on your specialty but they are very careful not to do anything that guarantees (or suggests a guarantee of) clinical placements. When I was at Vanderbilt, we were told that local clinical...

  2. Lauren Underwood 32 yr old RN MSN MPH & Congresswoman

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

    FYI - her name is Lauren (not Laura)

  3. Who will do CNS role?

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

    The CNS role is, in my opinion, being replaced the the CNL (clinical nurse leader). If you look that CNL programs, they often look a lot like what some of the old-school CNS programs did before they...

  4. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    pro-student replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wow! So much ignorance it's hard to know where to start. Look, your hanging you argument on mainly on the phrase, "clinical practice experiences are provided for students in all programs." which, at...

  5. FNP as a First Assist?

    pro-student replied to eg1014's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's exactly what laissez-faire means: government leaves it to the market (in this case job market) to sort out the details. States like yours are relying on exactly the situation you described....

  6. Online Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Programs

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

    Programs like this usually teach skills in on-campus "intensives" which are more or less bootcamps for procedures. These campus visits may include everything from teaching multiple skills, allowing...

  7. Direct Entry NP Programs: Anti-Intellectualism/Bullying

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

    I'm one of the outliers in the nursing field in that I don't see RN experience as essential to becoming an excellent APP. I would like to point out that there is absolutely no empirical evidence to...

  8. FNP as a First Assist?

    pro-student replied to eg1014's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Some states, like yours, are much more aggressive at bringing practice in line with the Consensus Model. Others are very lassie-faire and rely on employers and collaborating physicans to sort out the...

  9. FNP as a First Assist?

    pro-student replied to eg1014's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for clarifying. You're right, in your OP you mentioned first assist which would be limited to what occurs in the OR (and is not an advanced practice role). For the other duties an NP might...

  10. Health insurance that restricts employees from receiving care outside of employer owned ho

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

    And this is the real

  11. Health insurance that restricts employees from receiving care outside of employer owned ho

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

    So the key error in your reasoning is the idea that an employment benefits are static. If you read yours and any common employment contract, I highly doubt it locked in your benefits unchanged in...

  12. Health insurance that restricts employees from receiving care outside of employer owned ho

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

    Indeed. Employer-sponsored health insurance originally only covered hospital charges and was offered at a single hospital (first to teachers, then to hospital employees). Considering employers are...

  13. FNP as a First Assist?

    pro-student replied to eg1014's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes this is possible just as it is possible to work as a RNFA without any advanced practice credential. The problem with your question is the (incorrect) assumption that the RNFA is an advanced...

  14. 3P's

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

    Most schools will let you take classes as a non-degree student although they might have limits on which ones. Schools that have multiple APRN specialties sometimes have sections for specific...

  15. I need some career advice

    pro-student replied to EternalFeather's topic in Nursing Career

    Unless you plan on leaving nursing altogether, you're going to have to bite the bullet and apply. Don't list your previous employer as a reference and make sure you have at least 2-3 solid references...

  16. Wound management

    pro-student replied to Cisl4him's topic in General Nursing

    As a staff nurse, your role in wound care is much more about understanding the wound care and healing process including what to watch for, document, and how other health issues might affect wound...

  17. Presentation to kindergarteners as a Community Helper

    pro-student replied to Nurse92680's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's a long time and a lot of kindergartners! I would do something like talk about what you do when using a hypothetical pt (ideally a kid around their age). "Timmy fell off the swing and hurt...

  18. Acute care NP vs FNP

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

    You would have better luck with following patients across settings with the ACNP. The Consensus Model does differentiate acuity from age-defined scope of practice but the acute vs primary care...

  19. ACNP sans experience?

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

    The United States is unique in connecting midwifery and nursing. In counties where midwives provide a much higher share of materinity care and have far better MCH outcomes, it is a completely separate...

  20. Graduated 4 yrs ago... need ANY advice on how to study!!!

    pro-student replied to yesriosl1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You might want to consider a review course like Kaplan. Unfortunately, you won't be eligible for the pass guarantee but it might help. You might also want to research if there is an LPN refresher...

  21. Easy RN to BSN ?

    pro-student replied to oricha1984's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]27674[/ATTACH] Wow! So much contempt for a basic education that you publicly suggest diploma mills and/or fraud to avoid the risk of learning something. It's a shock nurses are more...

  22. Bridge Programs, BSN and Employment

    pro-student replied to cmjn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You should go for a straight RN-to-BSN. Since most RN to MSN programs don't grant a BSN at all and if, for any reason, you don't complete the whole program, you will have no degree so show for it....

  23. Teaching In ADN Program

    pro-student posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I want to start off by saying that I don't mean to offend anyone nor do I want to start a debate about the merits of the ADN. I am considering a move into nursing education and I know one of the entry...

  24. advance surgical nurse roles

    pro-student replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    RNFA if you want to work in the OR Many surgeons also work with NPs (usually acute care) who round on and follow pts post op CRNA would also be good if you like the complexity and pathophysiolofy of...

  25. Friend is sending FB requests to all ICU/ER nurses

    pro-student replied to NurseSince2014's topic in General Nursing

    She'll be lucky to keep the job she does have. So she spent time at work accessing information on lots of employees for personal reasons. HR would lose their **** over
