  1. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

    Dranger replied to BruinAGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I mean best of luck, but I make 50 an hour as a RN in Seattle. I don't even know how you could live off that in

  2. New DNP mandate

    Dranger replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    These new RNs/NP students dont care as long as they can run around and wear a white coat while calling themselves doctor. I'd suspect most of them would take a salary similar to their RN job (if they...

  3. School Shootings

    Dranger replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Guns aren't going anywhere, stop the delusion. I agree there needs to be better background checks however and maybe required gun safety courses. I always laugh when people talk about rounding up guns...

  4. Recent AGACNP test takers?

    Dranger replied to ArmaniX's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are some useful facebook groups with study guides. Very very

  5. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    Dranger replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Practicing in a specialty that aligns with NONE of your clinical hours or education. Makes sense. In the Seattle area, more and more hospital based jobs specifically state ACNP preferred...wonder

  6. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

    Dranger replied to BruinAGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You lost me at lawyers....cmon

  7. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

    Dranger replied to BruinAGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lol I make more than that as a RN and I don't even live in SoCal. These wages are a joke at this point. This is the direct result of over supply and bad

  8. New DNP mandate

    Dranger replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are plenty, one a few blocks from me. Seattle

  9. New DNP mandate

    Dranger replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sure make the DNP a requirement while for-profit online schools run rampant and entry qualifications wallow in the basement of clinical academia. Makes sense. Nursing loves to project their it's with...

  10. Are MSN still Grandfathered in to NP?

    Dranger replied to charisma00's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in a MSN ACNP program. I will not pursue a DNP unless it is mandated, has clinical value or increases my

  11. What is best online Fnp program for Washington state

    Dranger replied to PreFen's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can tell you right now all of the ones in WA will have you find your own preceptors. i.e. Gonzaga. Most are pricey too. Do you have to spend a lot of time for classes? Well gee, you are learning how...

  12. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    Dranger replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not everyone is meant to be a provider. If life circumstances make it too hard, schools shouldn't adjust so far to make everything a participation trophy. Med schools don't do it so why do NP schools?...

  13. New grad residency, is this a good opportunity?

    Dranger replied to aok7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would expect to make less as a resident, similar to MDs and their residency. However, I expect a significant increase after I finish and ma offered a

  14. FNP Oversaturation

    Dranger replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think jobs are easier to come by, yes. Once again, MOST new NPs want to live in their current area or a major metropolitan city. Especially since more NPs are young (20s), there will be constant...

  15. Grad school

    Dranger replied to fblackwell's topic in General Nursing

    You and every other bedside nurse is thinking the same thing. In 20 years I wonder if there will be any RNs left

  16. First NP Clinical Rotation

    Dranger replied to CiaMia's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Very strange a first rotation would be in neurosurgery. Was that the only place they could place you? A hospitalist or ICU role makes a lot more

  17. Need help deciding on an FNP school- feedback wanted!

    Dranger replied to Terryb1985's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Those online ratings mean

  18. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    Dranger replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Preaching to the choir. This what happens when profit is worth more than quality and there are NO barriers to entry. Just going to get worse. The dagger needs to be held at the throat of the schools...

  19. NP program

    Dranger replied to mperson's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes. It wasn't hard, more time consuming with marginal value. It helps someone read studies and glean info from them, but you don't need a class to learn to ascertain study

  20. FNP Oversaturation

    Dranger replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you honestly think the wage reporting estimates on google search are accurate? Of course there will always be jobs in the middle of nowhere USA, but 99% of people don't want those. These new grads...

  21. Considering career as an acute care NP...advice appreciated!

    Dranger replied to vmm1995's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Get ready for oversaturation and decreased salaries in the next few years. My advice is to work as a RN first then make that decision. The future of the NP profession is certainly in for some...

  22. FNP Oversaturation

    Dranger replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As I have said before, one key solution is to raise the barrier of entry into NP schools. As of now there is literally 0 barrier besides a

  23. FNP Oversaturation

    Dranger replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am an ACNP student, there is no working for yourself in the inpatient world obviously. There is such a flood of new grads who just feel special wearing a white coat and calling themselves a provider...

  24. FNP Oversaturation

    Dranger replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, not in

  25. FNP Oversaturation

    Dranger replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My state has 100% autonomy and I expect to be compensated for that. This is a tech haven and there are mid 20s kids with comm degrees making more than NPs at almost every tech company. 120k (capped)...
