  1. Credentialing

    Bumex replied to Xcbanditbravo's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm currently dealing with this right now. The credentialing process at long term acute care centers has taken 2 months and the acute care hospitals are still pending. The SNFs are either immediate or...

  2. Online FNP programs

    Bumex replied to purpletzz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can't speak for any of those programs, but I went to University of Cincinnati's AGNP program. It was online and really a solid eduction. I would recommend them to anyone considering online

  3. DNP vs post masters certificate

    Bumex replied to dawn2's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree with the previous posters. The institution I teach at doesn't really value the MSN.Ed or a post masters in nursing education as much as the terminal degree. Maybe other institutions will voice...

  4. Help: I failed out of nursing school

    Bumex replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

    Agreed with assessing the anxiety level with a professional. There are a few questions that I will ask you to ask yourself: 1) with the level of anxiety, how will you be able to take and pass the...

  5. Nursing Student From Hell

    Bumex replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is fail her as well. She isn't taking a proactive approach in her education, nor is she even doing the bare minimum to be considered satisfactory in an advanced practice role. For what you...

  6. My first week as an NP

    Bumex replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I definitely feel like this will take time for sure. I kind of felt the same way when I first started as a RN. My collaborating physician has told me time and time again (we worked together before she...

  7. DNP, need Physician supervision??

    Bumex replied to RedNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Not familiar with California, but I concur with the previous poster. DNP is a degree- look at the practice act and legislation to determine physician

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

    I have also heard this from multiple

  9. New Grad FNP. Work in FL or AZ?

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

    I would even look in the surrounding states to see what the need is/typical salary for NPs in the

  10. oakland community college/Baker college

    Bumex replied to 1corpsman's topic in General Students

    I'm originally from Michigan- Baker college really hasn't had great ratings in nursing in a long time. I honestly haven't heard anything good from the college itself. I would look at NCLEX pass rates...

  11. New RN offered ADON position?

    Bumex replied to Alanna_Kayy's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I have been offered spots in management with little RN experience due to my leadership attributes (first offer was less than a year of RN experience as well). However, I to have never seen myself in...

  12. New AGNP-C seeking career advice

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

    HMC- what region are you located

  13. INR 5.2 read as 2.5

    Bumex replied to Ethio22's topic in General Nursing

    I think this person wants attention with wacky posts. Let me try: I HAD A PATIENT IN TELE WITH 1920 HEART RATE AND 700/300 BLOOD PRESSURE. PATIENT'S HEAD EXPLODED

  14. SUPER low GPA

    Bumex replied to cariboulover's topic in General Students

    I agree with others that have posted on this thread- try an LPN school, maybe an ADN program. If there are not many programs in your area, you could try going to a community college to just take...

  15. FNP-BC & FNP-C

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

    I think consolidation of both exams would be best- of course with the stipulation that all current certified NPs are grandfathered into whichever certifying body would still

  16. LPNs turned RNs: New Grad?

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

    Unfortunately yes, you are still considered a new grad since you are changing scope of practice. We had this discussion in NP school- whenever your scope changes you go to the bottom of the line. I...

  17. Phasing out CNS

    Bumex replied to marigoldey's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I was really sad when I finally figured out that this role is being phased out in my area. I was accepted into a highly ranked Adult/Gero CNS program and decided against it in favor for AGNP due to...

  18. Admissions

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

    I concur with the rest of the members on this thread, 2.7 is extremely low and would not get you into any school (at least in my region). Try retaking some classes and get that GPA

  19. Grad-entry NP or RN first?

    Bumex replied to ericanursing12's topic in General Students

    I have the mindset that getting your RN first will help develop your skills and critical thinking abilities. This will help you in the future to be a better provider and keep your patient's happier. I...

  20. EdD degree tracks

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

    I feel like I want to stay in the classroom setting. I currently teach at a university that is not research intensive, and I want to stay there. I was approached several times for management positions...

  21. Is Capella University a good choice for masters in nursing education?

    Bumex replied to LaborRN3's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    As stated before, I would avoid for profit schools. If you want to be in academia, the for profit status can follow up around. I've gotten more classes to teach over another faculty member (MSN for me...

  22. Taking AANP *AND* ANCC?!

    Bumex replied to MILOBRI's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I second BCgradnurse, both certifications are equivalent in the eyes of employers and the BoN. Save yourself the money and consider it a down payment for loans! If you're like me, you'll need

  23. Tampa ARNP-one yr post grad still no job!

    Bumex replied to Agriffin2's topic in Advanced Practice

    Agreed, there is something not being told about here. I had three job offers at graduation in a saturated

  24. FNP vs. AGNP??

    Bumex replied to aya_inoue's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The only thing you can do with FNP over AGNP is retail clinic, which I've been told it's boring. I'm an AGNP and had three offers at graduation. All of the offers I had didn't see anyone below 18....
