  1. New Grad NP salary Texas

    direw0lf replied to AlcRoc's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just worked 2 12's so not gonna make the best reply but I agree we are in agreement ? I wanted Hopkins but the price tag with it was hard to do..over 80k for DNP. That was Georgetown's tuition cost...

  2. New Grad NP salary Texas

    direw0lf replied to AlcRoc's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Oldmahhubbard, Regarding how you said professors should be actual NPs - I read elsewhere people especially physicians saying there should be MD teaching in there, and that it would give an edge...

  4. New Grad NP salary Texas

    direw0lf replied to AlcRoc's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    "People who say it is easy to get into a good NP program are only applying to crappy programs. It is highly competitive and difficult to get into the best NP programs like U Penn, Hopkins, Yale, etc....

  5. New Grad NP salary Texas

    direw0lf replied to AlcRoc's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is a troll anyone who is in disagreement? For the most part what I have witnessed on this forum is a negative view for someone wanting to be an NP. Or they paint a picture that goes like this “the...

  6. is FNP better

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ah I see, thank you. I should have guessed at that, since it does seem to be about "who you know". I will work hard on my relationships in the hospital. I'm in a teaching hospital, and work with a lot...

  7. is FNP better

    direw0lf posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I look at available jobs in the area I will live in, I see most for FNP. I thought specializing in pediatrics (what I prefer) would make me more competitive and would be better for education, but...

  8. Why don't more NPs advocate for better training?

    direw0lf replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you underestimate millennial students. Part of our "charm" is that we do speak out more and do demand quality professors if we are faced with junk ones. Contradictory though we also will go to...

  9. Does your school's coursework include anything on educating the students about the increased risk of substance abuse for nurses?

    direw0lf replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in General Students

    My school touched on many of the issues nurses may face, including substance abuse, where we learned about the RAMP program (a BON NJ based program for nurses with substance abuse). They made sure to...

  10. do you think your school prepared you or

    direw0lf posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I keep reading articles online about how physicians think NPs are so poorly trained. I'd like to know how you feel about your training. Do you think you were adequately prepared for the role of an...

    Cooper University has a summer externship..you'd learn quite a lot there. edit: Ah saw you listed that already. It's only the beginning of March, give them some more time. They tend to get a lot of...

  12. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    direw0lf replied to carti's topic in General Students

    I don't believe I would want to know you. And you probably are a great guy in person, how would I know, but I wouldn't want to know you if I knew you wrote this thread. It's extremely offensive. You...

  13. Not sure which nursing path to take.

    direw0lf replied to Blueeyes09's topic in General Students

    I'd personally wait for the RN, and while you wait see if you can get a job as a PCA or patient observer at least, preferably in a hospital you'd like to work in as an RN..will make getting hired a...

  14. Why don't more NPs advocate for better training?

    direw0lf replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Adding my little opinion, this coming from a millennial right out of nursing school last spring, and going into NP school possibly in the fall. NP programs need to stop with the 100% online. It's a...

  15. FNP's in acute care

    direw0lf posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What I'm seeing in the curriculums for FNP programs are that they are geared for primary care, and the clinical sites must be completed at primary care settings. I met an FNP graduate who was in the...

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you. I found a peds dual primary and acute NP program with the University of Alabama at Birmingham and applied a couple days ago. I'm also considering Duke's PA program, because I plan to...

    Hey guys I am having a hard time. I'm in a new grad program where I rotate to different units first before my placement. I rotated in pediatrics and MICU and now am in a neuro/tele step down. I...

  18. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    direw0lf replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How were you an NP in your last year of med school? (not being sarcastic, am really curious how that happened..how old were you when entering med school, how long had you been an NP, and how you...

  19. FNP's in acute care

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you! I do not have the experience, I'm a new nurse. I am very ambitious though...I enjoy bedside nursing very much but i want more. So I'm really trying to take the time to find a program that...

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you both so much for the clarifications. Very helpful! Dodongo - that is what I want to be able to do. I turned away from what I originally thought I wanted while I was still in nursing school...

    direw0lf replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have 2 good friends in 2 different medical schools right now. One has been there for 2 years, the other just started this January. It is not just some more academic classes. I followed my January...

  22. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    direw0lf replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This thread worries me, but yet in the hospital I'm at (a trauma 1 , teaching hospital) I continue to see more and more NPs hired in all specialties, because they work for less than MDs. I agree 100%...

  23. Nursing school has pushed me to the edge. Anyone else?

    direw0lf replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Listen in the nursing real world after you graduate, you need to be FLEXIBLE. There's gonna be a ton of crap flying at you at once, and you need to adapt fast and think on your feet and get used to...

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Hey thanks for replying! I get 3 weeks in each unit, but some in the residency have only gotten 2 units but stayed in them longer. Even though that's the case, the units I were on before seemed very...

  25. RN salaries in North Carolina?

    direw0lf replied to Murse_1's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    This is true, but if you plan to continue your education, NPs make competitive salaries in NC with the rest of the east coast USA. If you work for Duke, they reimburse 95%
