   BritFNP replied to amyyturner's topic in Advanced Practice

   I am not a CRNA, but my boyfriend is and I have many friends who are (I'm a FNP). You cannot work during CRNA school. This is likely the most difficult APRN program there is. Programs do not allow it,...

2. First year as an FNP??!!

   BritFNP replied to TCUgirl15's topic in Advanced Practice

   You learn everyday. Get your basic processes down. You will see 'new' stuff all the time for a long time. There is no one way to prepare. Just have your resources close by (medscape, apocrates, etc)....

4. Fed Up with Pain Management

   BritFNP replied to mountainaireNP's topic in Advanced Practice

   This is a huge issue in the rural clinic I work in too. The meth use is insane out here. Over 50% of people seem to be hooked on pain pills or benzos. It is disheartening. I had one patient come in,...

11. Prospective FNP with questions

    BritFNP replied to Shrizeal's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lots of documenting, but covering yourself means more than ever as a provider, so I don't particularly mind it. I'm a year in as a NP and I've never regretted it once. Can't beat giving orders over...

15. Am I really a NP if I do laser hair removal?

    BritFNP replied to wildcatarnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What I don't understand is we as FNP's learn nothing about laser hair removal in our programs. These big chains promote RN's and NP's as if we have extensive training in
