    DavidRNNV replied to Tony1790's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Tony, You made a lot of right decisions. I just finished my ACNP and currently work at the VHA ED in Nevada/Las Vegas, so I know what you would have been walking into. The NP that would have been...

    DavidRNNV replied to jnewman435's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello Everyone! I don't have a CCRN certification. Should I take the ANCC instead? or should I just get a CCRN review book before taking the ACNP-AG? Thanks for any opinions you can

    DavidRNNV posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In looking over the postings for FNP and ACNP at GCU, I'm seeing similar ones to the ones I found almost 2 years ago when I enrolled. Seems like everything is pre-patho and then comments drop off...

  10. I feel stuck!!

    DavidRNNV replied to naiystar's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With such broad degrees (RN and FNP) I can't image that you could be pigeon holed? Unless you have a narrow field of practice? Otherwise, sky is the limit! I agree with Zenman, figure out what you...

    DavidRNNV replied to Nola009's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It sounds like you are running into the Catch 22 of nursing early in your career. That is, there is not enough time to do EVERYTHING exactly how you learned it in school. When you are at ANY job it...

    DavidRNNV replied to Junebug59's topic in Geriatric, LTC
