  1. CT APRN Advocacy support legislation NP to work independent of doctors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Psychcns's topic in Advanced Practice

    1. I noticed it said they must have a license "in this state" for three years. Does that mean, as the law is written now, that experienced NPs from other states will still have to collaborate until...

  2. CT APRN Advocacy support legislation NP to work independent of doctors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Psychcns's topic in Advanced Practice

    Wonderful news! Yes, I requested the new section be made, but as trauma said they want to see if people would use it. Post the new thread with a title like "APRN Advocacy: title" that way they know...

  4. Certification Failure

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Love37's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Test anxiety perhaps? That at can mess up even a very competent

  5. Giving notice when changing jobs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jennylynn_1983's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Two weeks is more for lower level, McDonalds type jobs where one can be replaced quickly. At the professional level, one month is usually more customary, especially as a healthcare

  6. Questions regarding NP programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to lonnaRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Each type of NP has a specific scope, so PMHNPs can only really do mental health, pediatric NPs cannot see above age 18, Adult NPs cannot see children, etc. If you decide later you want to do a...

  7. Advocacy: Connecticut Gov. Proposes APRN Independence

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/nurse_practitioners_may_go_solo/ Very good article talking about the issues NPs face in Connecticut. Apparently the Governor wants to...

  8. Advocacy: Kentucky Gov. Signs Law allowing APRNs to prescribe independently

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    http://www.publicnewsservice.org/2014-03-03/health-issues/new-law-helps-ky-nurse-practitioners-heal-more/a37814-1 APRNs including NPs and midwives can now prescribe non-naroctics independently in...

  9. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sounds wonderful I look forward to completing a residency myself :) Im sure the extra structured clinical hours will be a huge

  10. Unifying the Advanced Practice Roles

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Advanced Practice

    Oh, I see what you're saying. I didn't even realize there was a separate pediatric acute care NP. That's kind of bizarre actually. They should definitely fuse that with

  11. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Boston, I appreciate your perspective and your posts, but you are not the ultimate authority in NP education either. You are, quite frankly, a bit biased. I have researched the hell out of NP...

  12. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've edited my previous responses and apologize to anyone I have offended. I do not mean to offend anyone, NPs or RNs. This website is meant to stimulate discussion, and the OP asked about opinions on...

    Edit: Not worth it, I give

  15. Pain Management NP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Road2CNO's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would think becoming a CRNA/NP combo would be great for pain

  16. Unifying the Advanced Practice Roles

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yep, they could have 1,500 clinical hours (750 inpatient and 750 outpatient) and a few extra classes added to the FNP curriculum that goes more into acute care. Now that I think about it, though,...

  17. Unifying the Advanced Practice Roles

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Advanced Practice

    Agreed, but considering how few clinal hours programs already have, they'd have to double the clinical hours to prepare students for both inpatient and outpatient. Some FNP programs have only 600...

  18. Unifying the Advanced Practice Roles

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Advanced Practice

    the public is finally catching on to the name Nurse practitioner, I think it would be a shame to reverse all of that hard work and start over with a new

  19. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Couldn't agree more with everything you've said. Also notice that CRNAs and CNMs don't have saturation or dropping salary issues yet as NPs are experience in some areas. I think this is directly...

  20. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Um I think you need to re read my posts. I said NP preceptor should have 7 years of NP experience or more. Not talking about

  21. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    7 years NP experience, not RN experience. Different beast entirely. I understand what you're saying, and I didn't mean to offend any RNs as I know the role goes far beyond just pushing pills. To me,...

  22. NP and ACNP schools that don't require RN experience?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to BebeSunshine07's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm well aware of what nurses do and do not intend to turn this into a flame war. My point is simply that while nurses can learn some things that will translate into being a better NP, ultimately...

  23. Advocacy: Kentucky Gov. Signs Law allowing APRNs to prescribe independently

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

    Yeah, I agree it's not FULL independence but I think it's a good step. I think adding the ability to prescribed schedule medications at a later date would be fine. I'm not sure of the state NP...

    I've heard of sumtriptan injections being

  25. Unifying the Advanced Practice Roles

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't like it either. These are distinct professions and while all nurses it's unfair to call everyone an NP. All of these professions have long, rich histories, especially the midwife and the nurse...
