    lhflanurseNP replied to sophBSN15's topic in School, College Programs

    lhflanurseNP replied to Buggus's topic in School

  5. Professional Credentialing Services for NP License

    lhflanurseNP replied to psych.nurse's topic in General Students

    lhflanurseNP replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. College of Central Florida 2015/2016

    lhflanurseNP replied to Lindseyd1993's topic in School, College Programs

    DixieDarlin. From my understanding, RIBN is a new program that is basically you get an ADN degree then continue towards your BSN. CF offers an ADN degree as well as a RN-to-BSN bridge as well so...

  10. Number of Patients per Day

    lhflanurseNP replied to LoloFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    As with WKShadowRN, I was up to 20 patients on my final rotations as well. As a practicing NP, it is not uncommon to see that number either!. As ndnursepract points out, many patients will be 15...

  11. HELP!! with my purpose statement for fnp school

    lhflanurseNP replied to smithrn27's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    lhflanurseNP replied to sjh226's topic in Men in Nursing

  14. Homeopathy taught in a Pharmacology class?!?!

    lhflanurseNP replied to dura.mater's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sure the relevance is that it exposes you to another aspect of alternative medicine that patients may use. Homeopathy is not mixing this herb with that herb, but rather the energy or "essence"...

  15. Working a 9-5 and starting NP Program

    lhflanurseNP replied to enigma2441's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  18. APN Career Options

    lhflanurseNP replied to Alwaysreading's topic in Advanced Practice

    There is a need for both. I believe the "all-inclusive" MSN-APN title adds to the confusion and why there is a push for the DNP title to help separate clinical vs. non-clinical advanced nurse...

    lhflanurseNP replied to Ellie.D's topic in General Students

  23. New ARNP.

    lhflanurseNP replied to 2016arnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh, good, got a little freaked there. I must have covered all the "legal" NP stuff in 3 classes! The facility should add you to their prescription pads, or provide a set...however, we use them so...

  24. New ARNP.

    lhflanurseNP replied to 2016arnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
