  1. Any regrets becoming a NP?

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

    I traded the ICU bedside life as an RN for... the ICU life as a NP. Life is all about balance. I would say at times as an RN I felt near to burnout but would conquer that by “pulling in on the...

  2. Need advice on an offer.

    ArmaniX replied to WinterWolf90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well that is a win then, you will never get what you don’t ask for... after a year or so of experience you’ll have more to bargain with and bring to the

  3. Need advice on an offer.

    ArmaniX replied to WinterWolf90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Never hurts to counter. In fact I believe you should always counter offer this point forward in your

  4. New NP needing guidance

    ArmaniX replied to LWood1982's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Apply for your NPI (very quick process) and then the DEA. I did not need a collaborator agreement in my state so not sure on that one but I sense it would be the last thing you get. You should have...

  5. How much did NP school prepare you?

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

    I would definitely run this idea through your school and the head. You are in part representing the school and I’d wonder from terms of liability who would be at fault for an error. I think this is...

  6. New NP Resume

    ArmaniX replied to brv5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I’m sure it varies on opinion but I’m a believer in submitting only relevant information on my resume geared towards the prospective job. When I applied for my surgical ICU NP position I included...

  7. Why did you become a NP?

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

    Less than a year as an NP in a surgical ICU. I perhaps wanted more autonomy. I enjoyed the ICU world and wanted to continue in it with my profession. Considering the future also pushed me to advance...

  8. I have made a complaint against an NP

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

    No more stilettos

  9. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    ArmaniX replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    Can’t ever lose those critical acute care skills! Just like we kept those flash cards from Nursing Fundamentals 1. ? I’d invest your time and energy into your soon new career path. You won’t...

  10. Nurse Practitioner Residencies

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

    I really looked into and considered trying for a residency. Opted to just get a staff position, but the place I got hired to had a very structured orientation period for the new NPs and extended...

  12. Practicing NP, keep CCRN?

    ArmaniX posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What are your thoughts on keeping the CCRN certification after NP licensure. I am kind of at a crossroad at thinking it serves little purpose at this point in my life. Not sure what value it will hold...

  13. do you think your school prepared you or

    ArmaniX replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd say 75% NP program/clinical... but definitely my RN experience has assisted. My first job also provided a orientation period of roughly 2-3 months. On my own now I feel quite capable, I also know...

  14. How to be on an ICU Nurse's good side?

    ArmaniX replied to Nkukiller's topic in MICU, SICU

    Not sure why you’re getting attitude, or sense you are, when asking this routine question. When I was an ICU RN I would most be annoyed when the resident/student would disrupt our shift report to...

  15. Where do you practice as a NP?

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

    Acute care NP, working in a surgical

  16. Learning Ultrasound

    ArmaniX posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Any advice on media or texts to get a better handle on the use of ultrasound in the ICU. Beyond just central / arterial line insertion but for assessing lungs, volume status and the likes. Feel like...

  17. Psych no salary/pay

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

    This is probably the worst thing I've ever

  18. Should I be asked to get consent without the doctor?

    ArmaniX replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    Wonder if it is state specific but this is the exact opposite of what is considered true in Florida. While bedside in FL when I would have family/surrogate sign consent. My signature is ONLY...

  19. How hard is it to get a job as a nurse practitioner in san francisco?

    ArmaniX replied to cahalana's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It all worked out in the end, just wasnt meant to be at the time. I ended up in Baltimore's shock trauma center and couldn't be happier with the

  20. How hard is it to get a job as a nurse practitioner in san francisco?

    ArmaniX replied to cahalana's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I applied throughout northern/southern/central California for roughly 6+ months for adult gerontology acute care NP. Never even got a phone

  21. First job woes

    ArmaniX posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey all. New AGACNP here and been looking for the "ideal" job for a couple months. Was wondering if anyone has any tips for negotiation or opinions of it for a new grad? I've been offered a position...

  22. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    ArmaniX replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Think it is safe to say every NP school is different. Some are better than others and some are terrible. Grouping all NP schools into one doesn't accomplish

  23. First job woes

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

    I've sent a counter offer and am waiting for them to consider it. I'll post an update and maybe even the counter I proposed (to be critiqued and potentially help others in similar positions) once I...

  24. Just how busy is an online NP master program?

    ArmaniX replied to nurselambda's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    AGACNP program in person, full time (3 to 4 classes per semester). I worked full time the duration of the program (3-twelve hr night weekend shifts every Fr/Sa/Su). With clinicals I was often in the...

  25. First job woes

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

    Your opinion makes sense, and I value it (was actually hoping for you to come back to this forum); but I am looking to leave Florida. There is nothing in this state making me want to stay put. I feel...
