Anyone know if the NP license is recognized in Mexico? Or, know of any NP's who have practiced there? Many of the communities are full of Americans that have gone to retire or stay part of the year there.
Anyone out there have the scoop on working in the new concept "Minute Clinic' and "Take Care" Clinics, which operate in Target store and retail pharmacy type stores like CVS? Apparently, the focus is on hiring NP's, with a physician network to consu...

Hi! I have been to your website and tried to call but couldn't get through on the number....to comment on your post here, I think this is a novel idea because I do believe there are many services being "held captive" by traditional providers. Not th...

The best and only way I know of to get the information regarding the laws in any state is to call the state, department of nursing, and speak with someone about the laws. Ask them to direct you to their website, which will list their respective laws...

Hi: Regarding fixing up your place....with some creativity, you can end up with a much cozier, neater feel than the newer, glitzy strip malls!! You need not spend a lot of money, just like Periwinkles is saying--be creative! Now, for your sink: Ther...
I would also move away from the area. Statistics reveal that the midwest is the "armpit" of the nation if you will, for NP salaries/respect. Conversely, both coasts offer much high salaries for NP's/PA's. Perhaps the fact the AMA is centered is Chi...

Was having the MPH degree not marketable in you geographical area? This, ultimately is one of the reasons I have chosen the NP track, which I am currently in. I love epidemiology, prevention, etc. However, unless I was prepared to move to the capito...
Notice the wording is medical doctors. Not just doctors. They are opposing nursing doctorates or "doctors of nursing". The AMA is not just now setting out to quash the scope and rights of midlevels. It's a little late for that.
Okay, this is pretty clear to me. It is saying that if you are not an MD, OD, or DDental med/Dental surgery, that you cannot imply, advertise or connote to the unsuspecting public that you are a doctor ready to practice to heal someone under the guis...
Cyndee MSN RN: What is a "top tier" university doing hiring NP instructors who were "never RN's?" And what does this say about the quality of education you received from this "top tier" university?

Just wondering, did any of you consider an online program? I'm now in a grad program (FNP)...switched from WSU in a hurry--just did it initially because it was here in the state and didn't think there would be that much difference in programs, boy w...
Ch123 Hello! I'm cruising the website and came across your question. I'm an FNP student with a year to go (43yrs old, if that matters at all)...but I couldn't resist offering my 2 cents. If this is what you want to do, of course you need to go for ...
Dear Catch33er: I empathize with your plight. I will be an FNP in a year, and could just as well be facing this issue. As you remember from the pm I sent, I'm about an hour away from you geographically. I emailed one of my favorite NP professors P...
If nurses continue to refuse to unite and organize, demanding better pay/respect commensurate with the level of education and responsibility they shoulder, they will only continue to work crappy hours, holidays, nights and weekends, passing out meds ...
CGFNP: Amen! You are RIGHT ON with your message. Some may not like the direct approach, but yes, XXXXXXXXXXX. Those that can't stand the heat need to get outta the kitchen. There is something to be said for those with the courage to say it like it is...
"People with true mental illness need to be managed by a psychiatrist and manage is the key word here." Germanicus, regarding your statement above regarding psychiatrists: Please don't forget about Psych NP's!!!!!!!!!!!!! They can manage this patien...

Check out Indiana State University. They have BSN to MSN, and may have RN to MSN, but I'm not sure. 100% online, very organized, friendly, low cost per credit, no GRE! Best of luck to you.
Your right, it ain't about the pay....it's about a higher level of autonomy...a higher degree of respect...engaging your mind...and unleashing your spirit~~what have you researched with a passion--now you can make educated judgements based on this re...
Yes Anon, I experienced this throughout my BSN clinicals. Especially bad was one of the charge nurses who was in the process of getting her own BSN, after having worked with her 2 yr degree at the same hospital for 20 years. She was downright mean ...
Yes, If my NP program completely deleted the "theory" course I would be ecstatic!! Mumbo-jumbo....but don't forget, the mumbo jumbo doesn't end with that ugly book they wrote. They have now contributed to the pile of BS that the BSN and MSN nurses ...
Hi Mingus: I can only imagine what the training for MD's must be like. At least they recently put a limit to the number of residency hours that can be accomplished within a certain time frame. I find the current Western medical model a bit odd, and...
Hello Mingus: The female doctors are all saying "don't do it", which refers to what? Don't become an NP, or don't go the direct entry route? What is it that is horrible? And what setting are these women working in? Hospitals? I have one year of ...
What are your best, worst experiences for online programs? Did they require thesis or not, $ per credit, support of faculty, etc. Here's a start: Indiana State 362/credit for anyone no thesis, but a write up on an evidenced based practice topic f...
