  1. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    PG2018 posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I've been in conversation lately regarding the DNP, and I've read the position papers published by the AACN, et al. However, I do not believe they typical curricula are of merit. With the purpose of...

  2. Experienced NPs

    PG2018 replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel very heavily that schools should assign preveptors. It is absolutely ludicrous to find your own trainer who isn't a university affiliate. I had to find four of them. One mediocre, one who did...

  3. Army Nurse Corp Reserves advice/input on experience 2016

    PG2018 replied to RayRN87's topic in Government, Military

    I found out today that I'm open for any board review as a psychiatric NP. Apparently, the need is so high "psych nurse practitioners are open to any board until availability is met." This makes...

  6. Experienced NPs

    PG2018 replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ideal NP master curriculum and no nothing you did in undergrad would be comparable. BSN Min cumulative GPA, min science GPA 1000 hours of RN experience as an understood intro to healthcare environment...

  7. NP Salaries?

    PG2018 replied to smalli's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interestingly, as a RN I made substantially less than your survey and as a NP a whole other playing field more. Weird how life works. Next year, I might be working as a bouncer or something. You never...

  8. NP Salaries?

    PG2018 replied to smalli's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Annual income is all that matters at this point in life. I'm in the 28% federal tax bracket. Of note, after 118,000 you stop paying Social Security for the year. Awesome! 150,000 base salary plus...

  9. Is age just a number?

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just spent Thanksgiving in a rural area. Geez. Not a single decent restaurant for two hours and nowhere to to buy quality underwear. It's not like we were at a tranquil farm with granny. It was...

    I absolutely love Full Metal Jacket, the boot camp first half at

  11. Experienced NPs

    PG2018 replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's interesting when I see academics wanting to enter advanced practice. I'm in advanced practice and would love to get in bed, if you will, with academia. I'd make 45% of what I make now, judging by...

    You need to get busy studying, mister. Then when you graduate, thank daddy for giving you

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well dammit. I was going to get one of those degrees in my lotto

  14. Experienced NPs

    PG2018 replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While I haven't notched five years of experience on my prescription writing pen, I have five with nursedom combined. So my qualms are with the schools primarily. If they taught adequately,...

  15. Is age just a number?

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can't reply in quote. The space won't work. In the ED, I honestly can't recall ever taking a psych patient other than stapling the wrists on a woman who slashed herself to die. With the jail...

    BOLC length. Two weeks, 26 days, training prior to or after. Thank

  17. Is age just a number?

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't believe there is a way to determine your gynecology NP's RN experience. Folks, you can't just say the RN experience requirement varies by the individual. It has to be discrete and...

    Mikook, could you also elaborate perhaps on away from home/unit training

    So what? I didn't want to

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lawyers don't go by doctor despite holding a doctorate. I think there's an ABA statement about

  21. Any pmhnp' working for the military?

    PG2018 replied to mavienoire's topic in Advanced Practice

    Same. I'd go there tomorrow if they'd come even within 15,000 of my current

  22. Which Level? Extending What?

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you ever work with FMGs who go by Dr but have never earned a doctorate? A lot of these foreign guys still have bachelors in medicine and surgery. I think calling them Dr is

  23. Is age just a number?

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would be very selective about seeing a NP too. Granted, there are many good ones, but I'm too keenly aware of the deficiencies in NP training. I also couldn't care less about a NP's anecdotal...

  24. Which Level? Extending What?

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree. Anyone with earned doctorate is Dr if they do choose. If I were a general, you bet I'd introduce myself as General

  25. Which Level? Extending What?

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Now, now. Let's not go throwing the PAs under the bus. I'm not sure anything about what I get paid to has any connection to nursing outside of words printed on miscellaneous
