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

    futureeastcoastNP replied to BebeSunshine07's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think experience is helpful myself. As I posted in another thread just now on the same topic, I think intelligence is much more important than number of years someone has pushed

  2. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

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

    I think that's a horrible idea. It isn't experience that makes a good NP, it's intelligence. Anyone, including unintelligent nurses, can get experience. I've met endless nurses who have decades of...

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

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

    I suppose they would still need an agreement to prescribe

  4. Advocacy: Most New Yorkers Support NP independence

    http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2014/02/poll_results_most_readers_think_ny_should_let_nurse_practitioners_break_free_of.html A total of 1,078 votes were cast in the poll. Of those, 73.38...

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

    The link I sent for the chart showing rights by state shows that they can sign handicap placards in

  6. Please Wish Me Luck

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

    Yay two more interviews congrats!! No they likely won't offer on the spot. Be patient, remain

  7. Advocacy: Florida House Committee passes APRN power bill

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

    I agree with this. Even physicians aren't independent right out of school - they have to do a residency. It allows for supervised practice for 3-5 years before practicing alone. I think having the...

  8. APRN Advocacy: states scope of practice, legislative policy, ACA

    futureeastcoastNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's odd - does the ACA commercial patients have different coverage than the private pay patients with the same company? I assume the subsidy from the ACA went to buying commercial coverage the same...

  9. APRN Advocacy: states scope of practice, legislative policy, ACA

    futureeastcoastNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm in an opt in state and have a few NPs and physicians in my family. All have said they have had a huge increase in patient visits since ACA took effect. Some of those are Medicaid, some are private...

  10. Advocacy: Most New Yorkers Support NP independence

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

    Thats great, I didn't know much about this bill. Any idea what the current status

  11. Advocacy: Florida House Committee passes APRN power bill

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

    Yeah and I love how they had an in debt med student speak to the committee using the logic that he wouldn't have gone to medical school if he could have done the same thing as a nurse. Um...so the...

  12. Advanced Health Assessment

    futureeastcoastNP replied to OCRN3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most online schools I know of have you do 75 hours or so of clinical with your preceptor during health assessment so you can

  13. FNPs in the Hospital?

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

    That is very helpful, thank you. Urgent care is actually something I'm interested in, and I was thinking of moving to New Mexico upon graduation. I know your governor is fairly

  14. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks, good to know. I know for hospital NP positions they want experience so that makes sebse. I imagine for outpatient FNP positions it won't matter so much about having little to no RN experience....

  15. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    Hm, seems bizarre that Columbia would even have a direct entry program if they KNOW that even their own hospital won't hire their NP grads when they graduate since they don't have experience? Do any...

  16. Duke University's online FNP program, Fall 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to JayneBB's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Jules - I did get your PM actually and responded! :) Congrats on all the

  17. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you so much for this! I wanted to ask - can you elaborate on no one will hire an NP without experience? Many people plan to go through the program all at once without working as an RN. They...

  18. Duke University's online FNP program, Fall 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to JayneBB's topic in School, College Programs

    Ugh, I feel for you lancer. I'm so sorry they made you wait so long and then waitlisted you, but definitely have hope because Duke is super expensive and I seriously doubt everyone is going to accept...

  19. Cold Contacts - Anyone tried it?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Road2CNO's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would imagine they might not want to hire/train an RN who is guaranteed to leave the position shortly. If I were you, I wouldn't tell employers you are in an NP

  20. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    Is that 49K for 1 FULL year of the MS as in 3 full semesters? Or is it just the Summer and Fall (the remaining part of the

  22. AANP or ANCC?

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

    Boston, why was the AANP exam easier? Is it because it had less of the theory/role type questions? Comparing strictly the clinical questions, were they roughly equal in

  23. Anxiety over in-person job interview

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

    OP, Please keep your chin up until you hear back. Make sure you send a nice thank you email to your interviewers, and remember that saying they have others to interview does not mean you won't be...

  24. Any UAB FNP students/grads?!
