  1. Leik questions

    Bumex replied to RNmeee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I concur with the consensus here about leik. The questions are great beginner type questions that can help you to start, but they do lack the true rigor that APEA questions have. I am glad I used the...

  2. doctoral degree when not a nurse practitioner

    Bumex replied to NWright1020's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Second that- EdD and PhD programs are typically geared towards the non-APRN

    Bumex replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

  4. Bicarbonate HC03 - As High as 43?

    Bumex replied to NurseSonata's topic in General Nursing

    I see plenty of severe class COPD patients with 40+ bicarb on blood chemistry. This is a compensatory mechanism. COPD= Chronic Resp Acidosis -> body compensates by the kidneys retaining

  5. EdD degree tracks

    Bumex posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hello fellow educators, After I finish my DNP, I was planning on furthering my education with an EdD. There are two tracks at the school that I'm currently teaching at: curriculum and instruction, and...

  6. EdD degree tracks

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

    Kind of an update- if I choose to go onto anything after the DNP (currently chugging my way through), I will be doing a PhD in nursing over the EdD. I have found that very few institutions would want...

  7. Did I just ruin my chances of becoming an NP?

    Bumex replied to ryanz06's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Cross one bridge at a time. One bad grade never ruined anyone. But lack of focus on the here and now has ruined countless

  8. Nurses Liability Insurance: Yes or No

    Bumex replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I have always carried personal liability insurance. I wouldn't trust a facility's malpractice insurance to not throw someone under the bus. I've already encountered some shady business to try and...

  9. Patient is a sex offender with a tracker on his ankle

    Bumex replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    A criminal is still a patient. End of story. Edit: meaning that, unless they are in jail, it will not affect patient

  11. Expensive stethoscope for student?

    Bumex replied to hellofish's topic in General Students

    No one will care. Most people in nursing school don't understand the difference between stethoscopes. I never encourage purchasing an expensive one since students can't tell the difference anyway....

  12. Ethics in grading?

    Bumex replied to rfsager0021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  13. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    Bumex replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I give my students 1-1 1/2 minutes per question depending on the class I'm teaching. This is pretty standard in nursing pre reqs and nursing

  14. Chances of getting into CRNA vs MD/DO School

    Bumex replied to ICURNPA92's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't you state you were beginning NP school in another thread? I'm beginning to think the real question you should be asking isn't about chances of getting in but the question of what you want to...

  15. Adult-Geriatric Primary Care NP or...?

    Bumex replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am an AGPCNP- I got my job over FNPs. I work a combo of primary (45%)/acute (10%)/subacute (45%) which are rough estimates but you get the drift. The physician who hired me took me over the FNPs for...

  17. Lied to by new employer

    Bumex replied to Mrod11411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why? Because they are going to end up dumping a huge amount of patients on her and they will be putting her at risk. Not worth losing sanity. I get that not everyone can just drop a job, but if it's...

  18. Lied to by new employer

    Bumex replied to Mrod11411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Resign now, this is just the beginning. It is obvious that they wanted a provider no matter what and didn't care about hiding details to ensure that they convinced you to take the job. This is a...

  25. Taking Boards Mandatory

    Bumex replied to danceluver's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It may not be required in some states now, but it will likely be in the future. Even if you're in one of those states, it's likely other candidates will be nationally certified. It will give them a...
