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

   Glad to see there are others finally taking notice, as this is almost verbatim what I said 2 years ago. I’m sure there were others noticing the changing tides long ago, but every passing year the...

3. NP vs PA Education

   lwsoccjs replied to trackhead's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I suppose to stir the pot lol. Or having second thoughts even though it has been stated that the decision is already made. Or lastly to hopefully sleep better at night, from possibly hearing an echo...

4. Shockingly low NP pay !

   lwsoccjs replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Agreed, many careers benefit salary wise from personal investment aka experience. Why someone in their later years thinks they will benefit long term with only 10 years or less working as an NP left...

5. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

   Exactly, I've said it before and I stand by it now and will say it again. If you are not a strong asset to your company with good experience, your job and your salary are in trouble as an NP. I also...

6. Future of Nurse Practitioners

   lwsoccjs replied to Lightning Rose's topic in Advanced Practice

   I think a great question for you OP is what are your expectations from the profession. Name some end goals, expectations, etc and we can give much better insight. But one persons "grim" is another...

7. FNP and pharmacology

   lwsoccjs replied to weswes03's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Depends on how deep you want to go into it to be honest. That book is fine for basic pharmacology especially if you read it front to back. If you really want more advanced pharmacology then something...

8. Need help deciding on an FNP school- feedback wanted!

9. Standardization of NP Education

   lwsoccjs replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   You are preaching to the choir, and appreciate the perspective from someone who has been in a different field. I believe the only people that argue against your point are people that are either...

10. Standardization of NP Education

    lwsoccjs replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's very easy to see the difference in education if you take the eduction from mint PA and mint direct Bsn to np. In rigor, admission criteria and clinical experience. Let's not kid

11. Standardization of NP Education

    lwsoccjs replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I understand what you are saying. But, the argument is weakened considerably when you look at the curriculums of many programs, their online open book formats, the variation of programs, and minimal...

13. Standardization of NP Education

    lwsoccjs replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hmm non starter for some I will not argue this at the moment. I don't agree that we need to accommodate as a profession for someones current lifestyle and their cost of living having to support them...

14. Standardization of NP Education

    lwsoccjs replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyways to get back to topic: I think the single most factor that could be changed to increase knowledge base for NP's is make the schooling full-time. Just like any other respectable profession make...

15. Standardization of NP Education

    lwsoccjs replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do not believe anyone would agree that minimal to no RN experience is the "only" thing wrong with the profession. As evidenced by the current polling. It sure is a contributing factor but surely not...
