  1. Where to shadow / obtain preceptors

    sadiemae1123 replied to fetchfelix's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As far as finding preceptors, you could ask the school if they have a list of anyone who has precepted students in your area before. Your local NP organization and nurse's association are also good...

  2. NP pay, does RN experience matter?

    sadiemae1123 replied to Veigar3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  4. Online NURSE PRACTITIONER programs

    sadiemae1123 replied to RNIZZY14's topic in General Nursing

    Some programs let you complete the didactic work first, then do clinicals. Maybe you could find a program that would allow you to do that, and by the time you've finished the book work you'll be...

  5. Negotiating my salary is exhausting!

    sadiemae1123 replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We did something similar as well. We had to do a few case studies that revolved around what level the patient would be billed at, create a portfolio for job applications, and create a business plan...

  6. Second degree MS-RN to DNP

    sadiemae1123 replied to bap9090's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You could try looking at the University of Tennessee in Memphis, TN. They have an online/hybrid program for the DNP. Since they also offer a first licensure Masters program as well as the DNP for...

  7. Negotiating my salary is exhausting!

    sadiemae1123 replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you do decide to stay with the promise, in writing, to renegotiate in a few months, then you should be able to review how much revenue you are generating for the clinic. It may not be much in the...

  8. Negotiating my salary is exhausting!

    sadiemae1123 replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm really shocked at the low pay. I thought southern CA was one of the higher paying areas, because of the high cost of living. To put it in perspective, I'm making just a little over what she...

    For the loan repayment programs I looked at application process opened up in January and you had to confirm your employment to apply, but your start date could be as late as July. You can still get...

  12. Best New Grad Experience?

    sadiemae1123 replied to newenglandRN36's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're looking specifically at employers that are eligible for loan repayment you might look on the HRSA website. They have online job fairs and a list of criteria that the different loan...

  13. Floating to be sitters, CNAS secretaries et ..

    sadiemae1123 replied to allegra78's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe the reason the "special snowflake" staff don't like floating is because it is almost never reciprocated. Staff from other units use the excuse that they aren't trained in L & D and aren't...

  14. How to deal with a Borderline who tries to pick a fight?

    sadiemae1123 replied to lishka15's topic in Psychiatric

    sadiemae1123 replied to fostercatmom's topic in General Nursing

  16. ACNP jobs

    sadiemae1123 replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I never said it was. I was just pointing out that some physicians do chose more than one specialty, since there was a comment earlier that they

  17. ACNP jobs

    sadiemae1123 replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've known a few physicians who were board certified in internal medicine and pediatrics. Having both certificates as an NP could be useful if you work in a more rural area or Critical Access...

  18. Recovering opiate addict accepted into nursing school; Can I attend while prescribed Subox

    sadiemae1123 replied to MaleLPNStudent2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Before investing any time or money into nursing school, I would strongly suggest that you check with your state's BON for their policy on granting licenses to people with a history of addiction. Keep...

  19. Pursue the DNP with lots of loans? Help!

    sadiemae1123 replied to RachelRN829's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with the above posters. Focus on paying off your current loans and saving for the future degree. There are several threads on here about paying off debt if you do a search. You...

  20. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    sadiemae1123 replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    PsychGuy, There is no provider who is qualified to handle a patient with all those issues alone, regardless of their education and training. He would require a multidisciplinary/team approach. I...

  21. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    sadiemae1123 replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think the problem with wanting all the in depth "ology" classes is that it compartmentalizations the knowledge. This is what is done in medical school. But they then have 3 to 5 years of residency...

  22. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    sadiemae1123 replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm not sure there is a clinically focused DNP for people who want to return for their DNP but not get certified in another area. I'm not really sure there's a need for it. Like some said above, it...

    sadiemae1123 replied to hkRN83's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you've gotten some good advice here. Pay off as much of your debt as possible in the next couple of years. Maybe pick up a few extra shifts in the ICU if you can. Then you will be in a much...

    sadiemae1123 replied to AlbaHanson's topic in General Students

    If you're really determined to be a nurse, I suggest you look around your area to see what the job market is like for new grads, the pay scale, and what level of education you would need to work in...

    sadiemae1123 replied to AlbaHanson's topic in General Students

    If your primary reason for wanting to be a nurse is to "make a difference" there are many ways to do that beyond becoming nurse. Look around your community for volunteering opportunities. You...
