  1. Pre-Nursing, anxious to start the program

    Goldenfox replied to Jere2911's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations to you on getting into your program. Find out from your school what med surg textbook and pharmacology textbook they will be using and start reading. If they don't yet know which book,...

  2. I didn't get into a BSN program with a 4.0

    Goldenfox replied to justyna030's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try again. It might help if made an appointment to talk to the nursing dean or assistant dean about why your application was not successful and ask what you could do to improve your candidacy...

  3. Highschool senior intent on becoming an ER np

    Goldenfox replied to Breh_118's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to work in the ER then it is perhaps best to apply to an Acute Care NP program because this focuses more on the type of emergency cases that you are going to encounter there. Many acute...

  4. Job Prospects for FNP

    Goldenfox replied to Karamia0x's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with this. Its the culture of the health care system itself, whereas, nurses---in any role---aren't as respected as they should be. But I've seen plenty of anecdotal evidence that encourages...

  5. Why DNP and not MD?

    Goldenfox replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I see. I now understand that the objective of certain posts in this thread isn't about sharing information at all but, yet again, about bashing NPs. So sad that some of us spend so much energy hating...

  6. Why DNP and not MD?

    Goldenfox replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Although I agree that the DNP program could be structured better I disagree with this slight of DNPs in general. The DNP was initially proposed as a clinical doctorate-- at least, so claimed the...

  7. Why DNP and not MD?

    Goldenfox replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Someone made a post kinda similar to this thread in the FNP forum. The difference is that he is an NP who wants to go to back to school to become a physician. You are wondering if you should do NP-DNP...

  8. Where do you get clinical updates?

    Goldenfox replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Uptodate is good. And I like Epocrates. I also like journals like Clinical Advisor and Nurse Practitioner Perspective. I use the free pri-med resources too. I get invited to a lot of 'free' seminars...

  9. Dealing with mean docs

    Goldenfox replied to MillyPeets1234's topic in Operating Room

    Unfortunately, how you respond to this situation depends on where you are working and on how much you want to keep your job. No matter how much they talk about policy and rights and zero tolerance,...

  10. Why DNP and not MD?

    Goldenfox replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Some, but certainly not many, NPs want to become MDs. The 'why' about the AACN is buried beneath the misgivings of late 20th century nursing politics. Back then it was largely about perceived...

  11. Preparation for FNP board test.

    Goldenfox replied to monkago2009's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Replied to a question about boards prep here. https://allnurses.com/student-nurse-practitioner/best-book-for-1022835.html I don't know of any NP review that has the type of detailed audio visuals that...

  12. FNP ANCC TEST

    Goldenfox replied to fwatson's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For ANCC you need to review the nonclinical ethics/legal/cultural nursing stuff. (i.e. patient advocacy, rights of the patient, NP scope of practice, understanding and showing respect for patient and...

  13. Is this true? Salary Question

    Goldenfox replied to MexicanFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on where in California you are referring to. The COL in California is high mostly if you live in the big coastal cities and certain other areas. Outside of that you can find relatively low...

  14. My I'm going to medical school

    Goldenfox replied to synaptic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Some good points from the OP. I too have given thought to pursuing a career as an MD. I did a LOT of research into it. I haven't ruled it out completely but there are a few things that have held me...

  15. DNP required for NP?

    Goldenfox replied to ronrandallgabiola's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The DNP is not a research degree, nor does it focus much on health policy. I'm in a DNP program right now, and I would say that it is a hodge podge of all sorts of things that are supposed to guide...

  16. Is this true? Salary Question

    Goldenfox replied to MexicanFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't see myself going back to working as an RN. When I first began my RN career years ago I loved it. Due to all the politics and BS I grew to hate it, and to hate hospitals in general. As an NP, I...

  17. Aesthetic NP training?

    Goldenfox replied to CallMePatti's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can get this training at any of the regional/national aesthetics specialty conferences/conventions. They have them in the bigger cities a few times a year. I also know of a program run by two...

  18. Best book for FNP boards

    Goldenfox replied to ronrandallgabiola's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Fitzgerald's book is an ok resource if you plan to take the AANP. If you're planning to take the ANCC exam then you need to include other resources to help you freshen up on the legal/ethical/cultural...
