  1. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

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

    Yep, I made it up on the spot. I actually have no idea how long it takes pears or apples to grow, so I could be wrong though.

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

    Thank

  3. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

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

    PwettyPrincess is probably right - I'm sure, on average, MDs know more than NPs. They do take a number of courses than NPs never even touch in their entire careers, such as biochemistry, histology,...

  4. FNP programs

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

    I would take South and Kaplan off. I'm not sure why when people think online FNP they immediately gravitate to for-profit schools - good marketing I guess. Plenty of reputable schools (Duke,...

  5. Simmons College FNP March 2014 cohort

    futureeastcoastNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey Tasha, I might be applying, but probably for the May cohort. Make sure you share your experience with us since Simmons is so new and no one knows much about it. Have you received a book list or...

  6. Trying to get into an NP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to tylerkempf's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How does that work? I guess you do 1,000+ hours of clinical

  7. Trying to get into an NP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to tylerkempf's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What area do you live in? Perhaps start with schools within driving distance of

  8. Meely-Mouthed Recruiters

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

    NPAlby, I am thinking about locum tenens for my first position - what pay rate did you ask for that made them hang

  9. Chronic care at retail clinics?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to msn-fnp09's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it depends on how it's being managed. If it's a situation where the NP is seeing them once, putting them on a BP med, and then sending them off without any follow-up, yes it's a bad idea. If...

  10. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    Mine says the same thing

  11. Best RN experience for FNP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Futurefnp88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've always thought ED is the best prep for NP, at least on the surface. You see a ton of different diseases and treatments, and since the person comes in with no diagnosis, you get to help in that...

  12. What should I expect for on-call compensation??

    futureeastcoastNP replied to clmsngrl82's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'd push for hourly pay for the on-call! That way they can't take advantage of you. Also, this is old but it might help:

  13. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    Is anyone here an applicant to the Master's portion (non-ETP)? Love to know your stats, like GRE and BSN GPA, experience, etc. Also love to hear from any students currently in the Master's portion! I...

  14. What should I expect for on-call compensation??

    futureeastcoastNP replied to clmsngrl82's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm not an NP but I would definitely talk to them about that. $3,500 for an entire year for the amount of time it sounds like you will be on call is not very much. Even just the 6 weeks, that's only...

  15. Equal pay for equal work?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to MILOBRI's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Money is always a consideration when pursuing extra school - school is an investment and no one would spend money without the hope of making a good return. Anyone who says otherwise is foolish. Having...

  16. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

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

    I think most educated people realize that NPs do not harm patients. This whole campaign by physicians to destroy their reputation is primarily a turf war. It makes no sense at all that having MORE...

  17. Programs that Start May/June 2014?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's only open to TX

  18. Does the 1-3yr CC experience have to be full time?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Ultraposh's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You should try and apply - but I definitely don't think you should expect to even hear back from them, ever. Make back up

  19. Does the 1-3yr CC experience have to be full time?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Ultraposh's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ultraposh, I just wanted to ask - do you have connections or already work at NYP? I ask this because the field of nursing is not like it was 10 years ago when you just picked a hospital and started...

  20. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rolexcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I disagree about becoming a CNA first to see if you like nursing. CNAs are all about patients' physical care, and don't do any of the "fun" nursing stuff. RNs interpret labs, do physical assessments,...

  21. Anyone else still waiting on Acceptance/Rejections to FNP?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A lot of my programs used the nursing common app, which is great since you can resuse recommendations on there. For the others I just used the same people mainly and tried to switch it around so each...

  22. My obamacare experience

    futureeastcoastNP replied to coast2coast's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    During my previous degree (before nursing), I studied healthcare policy and insurance. I think the biggest issue with healthcare and insurance in the United States is NOT Obamacare, but the Medicaid...

  23. Salary vs Productivity Pay

    futureeastcoastNP replied to hutch304's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd say take the salary option. As others have mentioned, as a new grad you don't know how many patients you can see and you want your goal to be learning and taking time, not trying to ensure you...

  24. For those who are in an NP program now...

    futureeastcoastNP replied to star2601's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi BlueDevil, I've read a lot of your posts as I've lurked on here and I've always been impressed by your apparent knowledge base and credentials. I wanted to ask though - why do you suppose UCSF and...

  25. NP goal

    futureeastcoastNP replied to GingerMachine's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I vote bachelor's then master's. You would end up with less debt, plus you would get the experience of a full NP education designed to make you an NP rather than a CNL education with a brief NP...
