Hi Siri, thanks for replying. which state do you work in? I work in NY and would like to continue working there after i complete an FNP. Do you know of other venues an FNP can practive in outside of the hospital? Do you know if FNP's are used outside the United States or Nurse Practioners in general?

Hello NP's I am an RN whose looking to become an FNP through an accelerated course (full-time). The sooner the better, right. Does anyone know of any program that will pay all or some of my NP tuition? I know that hospitals have tuition reimbursement programs however I detest working in hospitals as a staff RN. I would not mind working in a hospital on an NP level, though. Do you all know of programs for ex: where I can go to school full time for free, and after graduation, work for a particular company until I repay the funds. Kind of like an being an indentured servant. I live in the new york city area. Also, do y'all know of good schools in the new york city area that offer accelerated FNP programs? I would appreciate your thoughts. And of course the whole truth, no politically correct statements, please.

Hello Nurses, I am searching for the truth about being a Nurse Practioner. I was suckered into being an RN and spent the last 10 years trying to avoid bedpans, cleaning feces, vomit, and other human evacuations. Can anyone advise me on any of these: if NP's are being employed a lot? are PA's more preferred? is there collaboration between the MDs and the NPs? are NP's intellectually valued? what sort of opportunities are there for NP's outside the hospital? what is the social climate like between RN's and NP's? What is the social climate like between NP's and Dr's? Do NP's find their education enough to diagnosis accurately? As an NP, what do you find frustrating being an NP? As an NP, what do you enjoy most about the field? As an NP do you wish you had just gone to Med school or became a PA? And last but not least as an NP were there any situations that required you to handle a bedpain, urinal, vomint basin etc..? Please nurses, tell the whole truth as it is. You need not be politically correct or impartial because that is how i got into into this mess in the first place. I had teachers who were unopinionated and detached from reality.
