  1. NP student needing help with case study

    pro-student replied to jh206043's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why does she have 2 different names? (Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Regis) Also, the case study doesn't mention smoking so smoking cessation wouldn't make sense. Primary Prevention measures are those aimed at...

  2. Clinical Nurse Leader ( CNL)

    pro-student replied to missmaddie's topic in General Specialties

    The best way to think of the CNL is that it expands your education but not scope of practice. One of the main ideas behind the CNL is the idea of "horizontal leadership" meaning being a leader within...

  3. Anyone gotten a non-nursing masters?

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

    What do you want to do with your masters? What are you interested in? These are questions that should guide you decision rather than what have other nurses gotten into. There are myriad options from...

  4. Telemed in different state will i be in trouble?

    pro-student replied to Crt2rn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's unfortunate that the company gave you bad information and even more unfortunate that you listened. You clearly practiced without a license in each of these 3 states since you provided a service...

  5. LLC?

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

    The advantages of an LLC are not tax savings but limited liability (hence the name - limited liability corporation). If your LLC is a sole proprietorship, which it would be unless you had a business...

  6. Having difficulty determining my next step

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

    Back to the OPs question, I noticed that in all the descriptions of what you would like to do you never once described the NP role. Never mentioned wanting to assess, diagnose, write orders for your...

  7. Provide clinical sites and preceptors

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

    It would make more sense if you narrow down other factors like what NP specialty, geographic location, MSN vs DNP you're interested in. Most brick and mortar schools still arrange clinical experiences...

  8. What to do about burn out?

    pro-student replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Specialties

    I understand how trite and cliche the advice about taking care of yourself can sound when you're in the midst of a very stressful situation without an end in sight but I would like to challenge you...

  9. NNP clinical placements?

    pro-student replied to stargurl2006's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's truly unfortunate and I certainly feel for you. It is really important to consider this critical aspect of training before embarking on a program. Rarely do programs fully arrange out of state...

  10. Experience for PMHNP

    pro-student replied to RN356's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not sure what your concept of "treating" a patients illness means for an RN because it seem to imply something far beyond the scope of practice on their own unit and something approaching...

  11. Experience for PMHNP

    pro-student replied to RN356's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They sure do treat mental illness. Just because a patient is on a medical unit doesn't mean you're not treating their withdrawal or anxiety or psychosis just to name a few. I don't understand how, on...

  12. Experience for PMHNP

    pro-student replied to RN356's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Care to provide any evidence of your point? I think it's a pretty perverse assumption that because I suggested someone didn't need inpatient psych experience before PMHNP school that I don't value...

  13. Experience for PMHNP

    pro-student replied to RN356's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Any quality program with prepare you to be a psych provider without having direct inpatient psych experience. There is a significant difference between the roles of inpatient psych nurse and PMHNP....

  14. PNP and MAT in Special Ed

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

    I have worked in both nursing and special education and have master's degrees in both. While the knowledge I have from both backgrounds is invaluable, there is exceedingly little overlap between the...

  15. FNP student - need clinical specialty suggestions

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

    There is no such thing as an acute care FNP program. Acute care NP tracks are age specific and either pediatric, neonatal, or adult/geriatric. FNP is a primary care specialty across the lifespan. If...

  16. Nurse midwife/family NP

    pro-student replied to Steph357's topic in Advanced Practice

    Most dual CNM/FNPs end up practicing mostly as one or the other. You might land a job as a midwife in a group practice or hospital and the FNP training will give you some more training/experience...

  17. Calling all Neonatal NP's!

    pro-student replied to Micque11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Online vs. brick and mortar is a less important distinction than the overall quality of the program. There are some exceptional programs that are primarily online (Vanderbilt, for example) and some...

  18. How to adjust to night shift sleep schedule?

    pro-student replied to hp131071's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You talked about medications but what about your sleep hygiene? Do you have a bedtime routine? Sometimes things like relaxing scents, sleepy-time tea, reading, etc... help. Avoid screens, bright...

  19. does working 12 hours on the floor count as exercise?

    pro-student replied to Wheaties's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Get yourself an inexpensive pedometer and you can find out exactly how much you walk at work (or all day if you want). Many will also tell you how many calories you burn too. As to if it "counts" as...

  20. What do you prefer to be called?

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

    A doctorate is a degree not a profession. If you've earned one, you e also earned the right to be called Dr. X. It's BS to say patients can't understand the difference. In mental health, PhDs and...

  21. Can a nurse couple have childreen?

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

    In some ways, nursing is an ideal career to make schedules work. There is shift work, 8, 10, 12-hour shifts, some facilities allow self-scheduling. The configuration that works for you and your gf...

  22. What can I do for education/experience while in nursing school?

    pro-student replied to pcat518's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I wouldn't worry about it too much. With DONA and IBCLC you're WAY ahead of most applicants to midwifery programs. Frontier recently changed their admissions to preferring 1 year of experience as an...

  23. The Major Diseases Nursing Students/Nurses Should Know?

    pro-student replied to rileowski's topic in General Students

    First, make sure you a have a very good understanding of normal physiology. Without it, pathophysiology won't make much sense. If you feel well prepared than you could pick up an older edition of...

  24. What I've Decided About my Education

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

    Sometime it's just the cost of doing business. When you're a manager, you might have some say in hiring nurses without a BSN but to get there, you have to play by the rules. Maybe it is all just fluff...

  25. Can they make me repay my relocation bonus?

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

    Most likely they can require you to repay if you leave. You probably agreed to remain employed by the hospital for 2 years not the psych unit. It is highly unlikely you were contracted to a psych...
