  1. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    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...

  2. USF FNP fall 18

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

    USF assigns your

  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!

    lwsoccjs replied to Terryb1985's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yep I sure would. It's unacceptable. Good luck with whatever you

  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...

  12. Standardization of NP Education

  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...

  16. Standardization of NP Education

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

    100% agree with your last paragraph. Without the RN experience the advanced practice nurse degree is nothing more than a watered down PA. We wonder why many people in the know look down on us....

  17. In Your Opinion....

    lwsoccjs replied to beckm097's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    State school that finds preceptor for the students that are in the area of the school. School thats have a diagnostic course. Schools that have other associated healthcare programs such as DPT,...

  18. FNP boards pass rate by school

    lwsoccjs replied to Catherineann's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To my knowledge there is no authoritative body that tracks pass rates categorized by school. All you can do is call up and ask the school on an individual basis and hope they are willing to tell you....

  19. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

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

    Might also be wise to inquire if they will specifically place you in say a fast track clinical or urgent care. FNP's get placed their very frequently and would help with your end

  20. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

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

    Agreed, shame there is not more dual degree options meant more specifically for the ER/ Urgent care tract vs the hospitalist kind of education. I feel the ACNP is to broad. Big difference between ICU...

  21. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

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

    Fair, there is good reason to choose PA over NP in certain circumstances but I won't go over that here. Anyways, to get to your career goals, what you are describing should work just fine. Direct FNP...

  22. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

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

    Seems logical to me. But because you don't have an RN and thinking of doing a direct FNP then ACNP its going to put you out let's see 3.5 yrs or so give or take (Just checked Ohio state and it's 3yr...

  23. Are MSN still Grandfathered in to NP?

    lwsoccjs replied to charisma00's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agreed 100%, its a shame that the DNP is just a title and not really indicative of a clinical degree. The add on courses add nothing to clinical practice and also have seen depending on the school...

  24. Help in passing FNP aanp exam

    lwsoccjs replied to bunnyrn401's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How close are you to passing? What categories are they saying you are weakest

  25. Can Acute Care NPs work in Outpatient Specialty Clinics?

    lwsoccjs replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am not an ACNP, actually last semester of primary care np, but I'll chime in. I can not answer specifically about the stress's of the job etc, but can answer about the original question. Yes, ACNP...
