  1. Transferring Programs

    Bumex replied to green341's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Seriously, go msu if you have to make a switch. I know so many people who love the school. I'd be going there if I didn't live I

  2. Transferring Programs

    Bumex replied to green341's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Understandable for ER, I have several friends who are look at USA for Emergency NP. However, most ICU in my area don't care if you have the dual cert, because they are either adult ICU or pediatric...

  3. University of Cincinnati Pros and Cons

    Bumex replied to RNKMY's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm loving the program. I love the support from the professors and staff. I feel like I am actually learning from them and their experience, since most of them are still practicing NPs. My nursing...

  4. How does one gain experience if experience is required?

    Bumex replied to Jmarty31's topic in General Nursing

    Apply to all jobs anyway. Most times I feel those are preferred, even though they at required. I was offered a job that required 2 years of ED experience at the same time I took a new grad residency...

  5. Transferring Programs

    Bumex replied to green341's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is slowly changing to favor the new consensus model that FNP and AGPCNP will be primary care and ACNP (either AG or P) will be acute care. I am sensing that you are not really sure what you want...

  6. Transferring Programs

    Bumex replied to green341's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    1) why are you possibly going to fail it? Did you fail a test? Did you not turn something in? 2) even if you fail, why on earth would you want to start all over? Take the failing grade and continue on...

  7. telemetry exams proctored for experienced RNs?

    Bumex replied to jkudrle's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, the nurse needs to be able to come up with a conclusion themselves. If all nurses couldn't work and figure things out independently, how could they as a group? Basically what you're saying is...

  8. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Bumex replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I try to live way below my means in order to be able to save....and pay off student

  9. How does working as an R.N. beforehand help in being a nurse practitioner?

    Bumex replied to sarahnp2b103's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Also to add on, most PA and medical schools want you to have experience in health care. To get into PA school almost, if not all, require you to work as a CNA, MA, EMT, etc in order to gain experience...

  10. How does working as an R.N. beforehand help in being a nurse practitioner?

    Bumex replied to sarahnp2b103's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agreed as well. Maybe you should think of something else other than RN to

  11. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    Bumex replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not my job to support your unfounded claim. What I found when I have done searches is that NP and MD outcomes are statistically similar. So, how about you put your research to the task. If you want to...

  12. First nurse job 1.5hour commute

    Bumex replied to GRN005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have to do a 110 minute commute to my first gig. I actually ended up stringing the night together and staying at a local cheap motel if I was tired and couldn't make the drive

  13. PACU LPN?

    Bumex replied to Varghy's topic in PACU

    I would also venture a guess that as an LPN in the PACU, you would be utilized as a tech. The PACU is meant for assessment, critical care, and many medications are IV push. I feel like I would be...

  14. Trying to choose between 3 NP programs

    Bumex replied to SopranoKris's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually love my online program and I haven't had much of an issue finding my clinical, but I would've loved to not have to do that. Plus, I'm from Michigan, and I would've loved to be able to go to...

  15. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    Bumex replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't go as far to saying that we are superior, but I do believe that we are equivocal in certain areas. I think, especially for primary care, it matters less about MD/DO/PA/NP, and more about...

  16. Choosing a FNP Program: USA vs. UC??

    Bumex replied to mmgRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Regardless of pass rates, I have d/w quality with many other students going through other programs. The main theme is that regardless what school you attend, NP school is what you put into it. If you...

  17. Choosing a FNP Program: USA vs. UC??

    Bumex replied to mmgRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can you cite your sources on pass rates? I have found UC is 85-90%, and USA has not actually published anything that I can find. Also, you have to look at which exam they are taking (AANP vs ANCC)....

  18. Accelerated BSN student interested in CRNA

    Bumex replied to Gilisawesome14's topic in General Students

    It depends on the need in your location. I was a new grad in a rural setting outside of Phoenix and they basically asked me where I wanted to be, because the deficiency was in the supply not demand....

    I like my littmann cardiology III, but definitely not

  20. Acute dialysis or new grad program

    Bumex replied to Rn.bsn.'s topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Actually I'm inclined to agree with you. Without the other choice, dialysis is a good option. It will give you some more knowledge and skills. But definitely keep

    You cannot bypass it, nor should

  23. How is it to be an online educator?

    Bumex replied to RNNMT's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Getting a PhD just to teach seems like a load of work for little
