  1. Credentialing Question

    2015 replied to onc1979's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If it must be done, then it must be done. If you resist, they might think you are hiding something. Good

  2. DNP seems like a waste...

    2015 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Jules that's a sad state of things. Someone like that would never know if my clinical logs are wrong if I say I prescribed ABCD that shouldn't be prescribed. It really shows the difference going to a...

  3. USA DNP - anyone applying for fall 2015?

    2015 replied to 2015's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Nursing girl, That's so helpful to know that the transcript form is not an absolute. How long ago did you submit your primary app? Mine has been almost two weeks. They haven't received any of the...

  4. USA DNP - anyone applying for fall 2015?

    2015 replied to 2015's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Nursing girl. I hope you managed to send your app. My supplemental has been received. I never posted the transcript request forms to my previous colleges so that they could attach the forms to my...

  5. DNP seems like a waste...

    2015 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Jules, that's absurd. I thought the DNPs are supposed to be practicing? All my instructors in college practice as NPs and most of them own their own clinics. They also double up as Clinical Faculty...

  6. DNP seems like a waste...

    2015 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    For those who think DNP is not important, then just don't get it and hopefully you never regret. Am currently in an MSN FNP program, and I have come to appreciate education a lot. At the beginning of...

  7. Georgetown NP online

    2015 replied to goldstarfire's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Am here to drum in support for Georgetown FNP, not that they need it anyway. Their admission rate is around 13-16%. So yeah, there are a lot of people trying to get in and can't. I am so privileged to...

  8. Are textbooks this expensive????

    2015 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How much are you all spending on textbooks? Is $400 over the top for just one semester? Am only trying to get required ones. I don't know if it's because I haven't been to school for a while, I am...

  9. What items/tools/stationery/gadgets does a student NP need?

    2015 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Am starting an online FNP program in Jan 2014 and am wondering about the 'must haves'. I had my welcome call today and after holding the phone to my ear for almost two hours, I realized I will need...

  10. Boycott schools that make you find your own preceptors

    2015 replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To answer your question, am doing an online program with Georgetown. The preceptor is required to evaluate you midway through the clinical rotation and send feedback to the school. The university also...

  11. Boycott schools that make you find your own preceptors

    2015 replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Before I read anyone's comments, I can't begin to imagine the stress I would be going through if I had to find my own preceptors. My school encourages us to send them a list of possible preceptors...

  12. The loss of PCPs from hospital setting

    2015 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I shiver everytime I find out that one of my patients is under a PCP. Who has the time to call a PCP's phone in the middle of the night and go through a range of press 1, press 2 etc only to end up...

  13. Struggling NP student in need of advice !

    2015 replied to pkakar929's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't know about your school, but in mine, you must pass every class. There are absolutely no second chances. You fail one class, you are out. Your best bet, if your school has the same conditions...

  14. Time to move on?

    2015 replied to grapejuice01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One year experience is good enough to move

  15. Seeking a job

    2015 replied to Jdailey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I could be wrong but I was told anything that is 6months old falls off your record. It may still be in your file, but it cannot be used against you. Go ahead and interview for the job and show them...

  16. After 2 months, I have to leave my 1st FNP position

    2015 replied to jaznia15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would leave before the six months are up and look for a job to start afresh. Chances are, even if you work for six months, she will either lay you off or give you bad reference. You are not safe...

  17. Why choose FNP (family nurse practitioner)

    2015 replied to arielmhod's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Someone came in here complaining about having to write SOAP notes when she is a psych focus. She wasn't doing well with the SOAP notes and she was worried that she was going to get a bad a grade in a...

  18. Georgetown NP online

    2015 replied to goldstarfire's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just an update. I didn't end up going to the places I suggested (I hear it can take the university a long time to approve sites), but the placement I got by the University ended up being so awesome...

  19. Advanced Assessment - Any tips?

    2015 replied to Teleflurry's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The health assessment textbook that my school used had videos for every clinical skill that we needed to know prepared my Mosby. I highly recommend it. Sidel et al. Personally, I have not benefited by...

  20. Is it offensive?

    2015 replied to PC0229's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    cruisinwoodward....that is very disrespectful and you need to demand the respect you truly deserve. You have to build your image and refurbish is to be what you want it to be. I used to think people...

  21. Is it offensive?

    2015 replied to PC0229's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Am guilty of calling NPs doctors. I hope they don't mind. Just the other day I booked an appointment for my kids, and the nurse on the line told me this time I will be seeing a NP. Come the day of the...

  22. Getting it in writing

    2015 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Alicia, I strongly feel that your references are the problem. I also think that if your resume indicates where you work, they can still call your current manager and ask about you even if you did not...

  23. Let me ask sort of a blunt question

    2015 replied to elmonorojo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OMG!!!! Finally I get the answer as to why we are treated like crap

  24. Anyone in Advanced Patho?

    2015 replied to HikingEDRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    About youtube videos, I recommend none. Not that this is the right answer. I study full-time and I could never get through reading everything that was required of me in Patho and the other two classes...

  25. Georgetown University MSN-FNP January 2014 Part time Cohort

    2015 replied to davesbride's topic in School, College Programs

    Scenario 1. A new nurse with no nursing experience. Pros: 1. Your brain is well exercised so you will grasp new concepts faster than a nurse with 10 years experience who hasn't done an exam since...
