  1. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

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

    It's about time. If you want to be a generalist should have went PA. Or get the acute care certification. Average PA program is 100+ credit. Average masters fnp is 47-52. Add on acute care...

  2. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    lwsoccjs replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agreed, I am speaking from witnessing other students courses and schooling. Not speaking from personal

  3. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    lwsoccjs replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thats funny. Yeah, I agree the opposing board is not the answer. My main point was if I am going for a clinical/provider career I would atleast liked to be certified by a clinical/provider test which...

  4. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    lwsoccjs replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have read the accreditation requirement stating you need to have faculty that are active providers. So let me ask everyone this. How exactly does that effect your education in a distance learning...

  5. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    lwsoccjs replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lol, fair. I'll be fine, but always appreciate the encouragement. And the pass rates are basically equivalent so let's not get into

  6. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    lwsoccjs replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The ANCC in my eyes is in no way an acceptable way to judge a "provider" to tell the public you can provide care and are considered competent. With 50% of the test being non-clinical that is...

  7. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    lwsoccjs replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's never going to be students avoiding low-quality programs. The boards are a very low barrier to entry allowing most to graduate/pass/ & get placed into the job market. People will continue to...

  8. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    lwsoccjs replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am on my iPad so I'll come back to write full response. But in short if you want a better education go the PA route. Especially if you want to do primary care. The consensus on specialty practice...

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

    lwsoccjs replied to Terryb1985's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Fair, and true. But it does reflect poorly on the profession and the way it is going. Just means that hundreds of more schools can continue to populate because their jobs are made easier. Let's see...

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

    lwsoccjs replied to Terryb1985's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yikes, I'd run far and fast from any school wanting to charge me for school and then expect me to find my own preceptors. Finding quality preceptors, getting the paperwork figured out, having the...

  11. Physical exam form question

    lwsoccjs replied to sydneyqueens14's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unless there is a medical concern or disease process involved that would impede activity I can not think of any reason you would include

  12. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Agreed. I'll also leave this link https://www.aanp.org/images/documents/about-nps/npfacts2013.pdf But for reference at that time they graduated 14,000 new NPs at 49% family. Now it's 23,000 at 61%....

  13. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Yes here are the highlights: An excess of 42,000 primary care NPs in 2025. projected deficit of 23,640 FTE primary care physicians nationally by 2025. increase in primary care PA supply is expected to...

  14. How I passed ANCC Psychiatic Mental Health NP Exam

    lwsoccjs replied to MLGDNP12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will preface my remark with I am not a PMHNP. I originally thought of going into the field and practiced as a behavioral health nurse prior to FNP school so I have some experience granted not a lot...

  15. South University Orlando or Tampa Campus FNP program reviews?

    lwsoccjs replied to dancingnurse413's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have no direct experience from South university so I can only speak from experience either being side by side from a student from south university or asking their opinion of the school. Another note...

  16. How much did NP school prepare you?

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

    I'm slightly confused with your statement. You loosely state that reading is not sufficient but then relate that to PA school lasting 8 hours a day for a 40 hour work week. It would then be logical...

  17. Patient scenario in family medicine NP

    lwsoccjs replied to TheFuture09's topic in Advanced Practice

    Sure I'm

  18. Patient scenario in family medicine NP

    lwsoccjs replied to TheFuture09's topic in Advanced Practice

    So then to figure out the scenario which you provided little information about I would need to know Why was the TSH run? Describe to me his currently medical conditions. Does he currently have any...

  19. Patient scenario in family medicine NP

    lwsoccjs replied to TheFuture09's topic in Advanced Practice

    Fair statements. No one is trying to pretend collaboration does not occur in medical settings. I was merely making the point that these kind of questions are put frankly belong in a...

  20. Patient scenario in family medicine NP

    lwsoccjs replied to TheFuture09's topic in Advanced Practice

    These seem straight from a textbook to be honest. If your in school both of these should be covered pretty thoroughly. Try checking out a primary care guideline book/ family practice etc. None of us...

  21. NP vs MD?

    lwsoccjs replied to hernjoy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To be honest you are years away from having to make that distinction. Focus on your studies. See how you perform in the basic sciences. Take a more advanced science like genetics / virology / organic...

  22. CCNE Accreditation Comments

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

    I see someone responded to me but it was deleted before I could see it. Only could see the first sentence lol. I am aware of the different proposals, my post was intended to give the basic overview...

  23. CCNE Accreditation Comments

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

    After reading the proposed document here are the highlights. To be accredited you need 80% cert rate 70% hired rate at 12months. School must have the three P's and follow MSN/DNP major publication No...

  24. USF FNP fall 18

    lwsoccjs replied to ER.rn0922's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Forgot to answer this question concerning changing status. I am not an expert on this at all so I am guessing at this point. I do know they hold a specific amount of spots of full vs part time. So if...

  25. USF FNP fall 18

    lwsoccjs replied to ER.rn0922's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Full time is 3 classes. Part time is two. So 9-10 credits depending of the classes taken at that specific semester. So yes 1 1/2 yrs. I have a heavy bias concerning working while in school. So I will...
