  1. FNP vs. Acute Care Job Demand & Responsibilities

    ArmaniX replied to SN2751's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Besides the point brought up by Neuro Guy, I feel you are asking the wrong question. What do YOU want to be in the future. Do you want to be an FNP and manage primary care issues and management of...

  2. New Grad NP - Experiences with Relocation

    ArmaniX replied to ela517's topic in Advanced Practice

    I will echo what fullglass mentioned.. if you are set on going to a state such as California. Go ahead and start that application now (against what I recommended before), it is my belief that states...

  3. New Grad NP - Experiences with Relocation

    ArmaniX replied to ela517's topic in Advanced Practice

    I did this exact thing. I applied to only a few in state jobs, but mainly applied out of state. 1. do not obtain licensure in any state until job offer. I had companies inquire about my...

  4. Transferring NP license

    ArmaniX replied to yujinee91's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What in the world is your instructor talking about? Perhaps I am the confused one. I have a NP license in three separate states. It was as hard to get as it is to apply and supply the proper...

  5. NPs in Virginia

    ArmaniX replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not sure exactly what information you are seeking but that sounds about right. I would just follow the board of nursing for that state. I have three active NP licenses and they all require the base RN...

  6. Post-interview update

    ArmaniX replied to Mr. Southern NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don’t accept any position that you don’t see yourself fully enjoying; time is too short in life. I turned down my first job offer a year ago after they were unwilling to offer me a reasonable pay...

  7. Would you stay?

    ArmaniX replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why work in an environment that lets you be worried about such trivial matters? I work with a lot of sensitive “write up happy” sallies. Never once have I worried about the chance of being...

  8. FNP in Hospital Setting

    ArmaniX replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

  9. Would you stay?

    ArmaniX replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    Jeez. Just get a new job, start applying. If you are unhappy with your current situation then why stay or seek approval from anonymous individuals online to tell you how to live your life? Your...

  10. FNP in Hospital Setting

    ArmaniX replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Ensure you are practicing to your trained scope while walking the hospital halls. Additionally, did your schooling not cover malpractice insurance and the types of available

  11. Bad idea to quit after 6m as a new grad for DNP school?

    ArmaniX replied to Theanxiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Don’t make the mistake of being married with children and a DNP with no clinical experience. Lets take a look into the future: You will lack experience for the acute care NP role you want, any...

  12. ICU Nurse Practitioners

    ArmaniX replied to otterpop1989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    5 years bedside ICU in trauma 1 hospital. Charge, precept, additionally floated and covered rapid response for many shifts. I did this while in school. My transition has been

  13. Age range Adult-Gerontology NP

    ArmaniX replied to Kay80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also not sure where I’ve gained this knowledge.. but I believe the cut off is puberty. Once the child shows signs of puberty then as an AGACNP I can legally see them, which is roughly the 11-13 year...

  14. Applying for NP application and furnishing number in California

    ArmaniX replied to MRNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I believe it took me 2 to 3 months for my BoN NP/Furnishing to

  15. AGACDNP Career Trajectory

    ArmaniX replied to AF2BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I looked into it briefly years ago. I felt like once an NP you could sit for the test without taking a 9mo course or OR experience. But I might be

  16. AGACDNP Career Trajectory

    ArmaniX replied to AF2BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No direct knowledge in the “how.” One of my preceptors (Burn service) would see patients in the unit/floor, have outpatient clinic across the street, eat, then go to the OR and assist with...

  17. Finding a Collaborating Physician

    ArmaniX replied to anchorRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Craigslist. Just kidding. You’ll most likely find your physician upon hire. But maybe someone in Kentucky knows better than my

  18. Years of RN experience before NP

    ArmaniX replied to NewOncNurseRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    20 versus 5 years as a bedside RN.. no real difference. Perhaps the longer at bedside will leave you privy to more exposure but how that’ll effect your practice as an NP... who knows. I believe...

  19. Locum work as a new grad?

    ArmaniX replied to anchorRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Was something I briefly considered as a new grad. I do not think it would be ideal, perhaps consider locums once you are comfortable in your new position. Barton associates is a locums site that I...

  20. Why do CRNA schools specifically require 1-2 years of ICU (and not OR) experience?

    ArmaniX replied to Jake355's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    .. because you need to be able to critically think and manage an unstable

  21. Locums / Travel

    ArmaniX posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone with experience doing locums as an acute care NP? I’ve read some information on other sites and peeked at some agencies. Many of the positions appear to be outpatient. Anyone doing locums in...

  22. Locums / Travel

    ArmaniX replied to ArmaniX's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Barton associates was one that was mentioned by my school and they even came to talk to us. Not sure ? of their quality, the idea that they were pitching locum work for soon to be new grads seemed...

  23. Legal/ethical question-signing as a witness for consent

    ArmaniX replied to ILMRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Sounds like proper consent was not obtained per hospital policy. I think that you have two concerns here. 1. Witnessing a consent that you did not “hear” the provider consent family over the...

  24. Critical Care NP Question

    ArmaniX replied to ff_king2001's topic in Advanced Practice

    1. I am part of the surgical critical care team at an academic center, no prior personal experience for comparison. At my prior job in a Trauma 1 teaching hospital the nurse practitioner role seemed...

  25. Credentialing as FNP

    ArmaniX replied to HhnurseNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I was in theory able to take my boards prior to finishing the last semester of my program (B&M school). But it was a pure oversight in the credentialing boards side. Others in my class received...
