  2. Applying to Nurse Practitioner School

    Probably the best thing you could do is contact the schools you are interested in and asking them directly. This something that may vary from school to school. I would imagine you would need it...
  3. About paying off student loans

    I've been following this thread for a while and I have a question for the people who find the idea of a government student loan forgiveness program so morally and ethically objectionable. Many of you...

  5. If your job duties are going to be similar to the contracted hospitalists, then you might ask to shadow one of them to get an idea what the job is really going to be like. Since this will be a new...
  6. Can a new APRN only work PT or PRN?

    Why do you want the DNP? If your interest is primarily in education and research, then it would seem like a PhD would be more

  8. Experience to Become Adult NP

    The most valuable experience is probably going to depend on where you want to practice as an Adult/Geriatric NP. Med/surg will give you insight into how to manage acutely ill patients, how to...

  10. Company lost paycheck and getting the runaround.

    OP, I recently had an incident with an employer about a missing check. I let them drag it out for 6 weeks. Finally, I called and told them that this would be the last time I would be contacting them...
  11. NP full scope/independent speculation

    Tennessee has introduced a bill for full practice
  12. It will probably be faster and cheaper to just get licensed in Florida. Contact the Board of Nursing there to find out what paperwork you need to
  13. New RN (almost), 401k, and Retirement

    You should also take into consideration that retirement isn't the only thing someone your age should save for. It's generally recommended for most people to have between 3 to 6 months pay set aside...
  14. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    My workplace has a fairly clear cut policy. You're allowed to ask, once. As in: you can ask someone on a date - once, or invite them to your church - once. If you're not interested you say no and...
  15. L&D RN Role

    The RN is also providing a great deal of education for the patient, especially if she didn't attend any prenatal classes or is a first time mother. The nurse may provide information about stages of...
  16. Is graduating from a top nursing program worth it?

    You could ask each of the universities about where recent alumni are working and what kind of assistance is offered after graduation in terms of finding a job. If you're planning on looking for a job...

    Try local nursing organizations, hospitals, nursing homes, or nursing schools. You'll get much more out of this project if you do the interview in
  18. Should and do fnp's room their pt's

    What they're asking doesn't make a lot of sense to me. They should already be aware of how many patients are being turned away for same day visits, new patients being scheduled several weeks out, how...
  19. Should and do fnp's room their pt's

    Is it just rooming the patients? Or, are you also going to be expected to do other tasks usually delegated to ancillary staff like fielding patient phone calls, sending out lab letters, and dealing...
  20. Loans and job

    You might want to look into federal loan repayment programs. If you're willing to work in an underserved area for a specified time then they will give you money towards your loan
  21. Preceptor needed!!! Help!!!

    What have you tried so far? The local NP association can be a good place to start. Your school may also have a list of providers in your area that have been preceptors in the past. I also had some...
  22. All I want for Christmas is a job :(

    Depending on the type of loan you have you may be eligible for a deferral, or at least a reduction in your monthly payment. You should contact the loan agency to find out. Best of luck in the job...
  23. family issues

    Canoehead, I can't imagine what you are going through. You have my sympathies. If you truly have no one to talk with about this with amongst family or friends then I would strongly suggest that you...
  24. Is a FNP working for a Psychiatrist legal ??

    It may depend on what your role will be at the facility. I currently work in a psych hospital as an FNP, but strictly as a primary care provider, caring for chronic issues such as diabetes or acute...
  25. Terrible day at clinicals

    When I was in school we always did a preceptor and site evaluation at the end of clinicals. If I were you I would make sure my evaluation reflects how you were treated that day. Your school needs to...
