  5. Any limitations as a Psych NP?

    Bumex replied to TheNietzsche's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you a RN now? Usually you have to look at the nurse practice acts for any state, since APRN scope fluctuates depending on the

  6. Those who have done distance learning

    Bumex replied to ItsYourJourney's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I loved my online NP program from U of Cincinnati, felt like I had tremendous support. I second the comment that no program will ever fully prepare you to go out there and beat the learning curve. I...

  7. About to start clinicals

    Bumex replied to paulc1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Spent more time researching the 'why' we did certain interventions. I spent a vast amount of time looking at the simplistic problems like DM, HTN, etc and didn't look at the less common medical...

  13. How to become a nurse practitioner

    Bumex replied to das729's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Depends greatly where you live and what setting you want to work in. Where I live, chicago, the market is saturated with NPs but there are still jobs. One rotation I was in was in the south portion of...

  14. Any NPs miss being an RN?

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

    I live in a state where there is collaborative practice- that coupled with me being a newbie NP gives me some limitations to my practice (granted I am getting more responsibility on a weekly basis)....

  15. Any NPs miss being an RN?

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

    I agree with the statement by caliotter3 to a certain degree- I believe many individuals are infatuated with the idea of being an APRN without ever considering that they would be happy as a RN. I know...

  16. Any NPs miss being an RN?

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

    Hands down- I love being a NP more than being a RN. I have had great respect as a RN, but even more as a NP. I don't miss the chaos of being a telemetry nurse in a low resource facility- and I love...

    Bumex replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The recognition of the dnp varies by institution. Both where i went to NP school and where I teach both seem to have good recognition of the DNP. However, my undergrad institution only allowed...

  18. Which program do I pursue at age 44?

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

    I would go option 1 or 2. Even for profits with better reps are still not going to be as good as either of your first two

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

    I obtained the AGPCNP. In my NP job I see both primary and acute care patients, predominately primary care. I also teach lecture and clinical at a local 4 year university. In all honesty I have...

  20. Future looks bleak for CRNAs

    Bumex replied to superking's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Superking, first rule of research- use current data. Things change drastically with time. Plus there is A LOT of current literature to refute this

  21. Salary and opinions on BSN degrees.

    Bumex replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't think the OP can answer that question

  22. lying about clinical hours

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

    100% call the school of nursing and ask to speak to the director of the particular NP program/tract that he is in. This is yet another reason NPs are looked down on in the medical

  23. Should I work as a CNA prior to Direct Entry NP Program?

    Bumex replied to shannon9r's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with the previous posters. These direct entry programs are really killing our profession. People can't come from nothing and be a master of something without experience. As a NP, I do have to...

  24. Khan Academy for free study

    Bumex replied to stacyo's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips
