  2. Too soon to become an NP?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to SjwRNBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would say no one is ever really 'ready' to be an NP. What quantifies being 'ready'? Is someone who has 10 years working in a nursing home more 'ready' than a 2-3 yr nurse in a busy ICU? Or is the 3...

  5. Career Change-confused!!

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Im the farthest thing from petty, you can call yourself whatever you want on here and it wouldn't bother me. Point being if you're not the administrator/moderator than you shouldn't be worried about...

  6. Career Change-confused!!

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for calling her out, I didn't say all comments were negative, some people have great advice, her not so much. As far as the username goes let the moderator deal with that. It's not our job...

  8. How are you saving for retirement?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In regards to number 2; talk to a wealth management company if you want there is a back door to still invest in a Roth IRA. It involves moving funds from account to account but someone who knows their...

  9. new grad np contract negotiation help

    YoutubeTheNP replied to samanthanp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think the base rate could be higher. If you're on call every night you need to be compensated for that. no one works for free. Also, they need to provide you with a cell phone, don't waste your...

  10. Career Change-confused!!

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for addressing one of the points. In your honest opinion you don't think there was not one rude comment

  11. Career Change-confused!!

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    The lady came for advice from nurses and some responses are to be a CNA first, which is an entire program on its own, someone said to change her username which is irrelevant to this forum, and...

  12. Career Change-confused!!

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    You may have heard the term, nurses eat their young. Don't let some of these other comments discourage you. Nursing is a very rewarding career, it takes a lot of sacrifice to get there. I truly wish...

  13. Experience for FNP Programs

    YoutubeTheNP replied to cjo85's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you'll be fine with the M/S experience. But look at the requirements for the programs you want to enroll. They may have some specifics. If you're going for FNP you should have no problems...

  14. Question on trachs & suctioning

    YoutubeTheNP replied to msteez's topic in General Nursing

    You're making me think back to the times I worked on the floor. If I remember correctly all our suction catheters came in one size. So long as you can fit it in the trach I don't think there is any...

  15. Career Change-confused!!

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    I've learned you're never to old to start a second career. One of the Mds I work with is in his upper 40s and just finished his residency. Second career. Before being a doctor be was an engineer for...

  16. Collaborating Physician questions

    YoutubeTheNP replied to luelena451's topic in Advanced Practice

    I've never paid for insurance through the NSO. That's probably something you would have to look on their website for or inquire. I can't help you on that perspective. Usually you have to state your...

  17. Anything I can do with nursing and history degrees?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Weirdo's topic in General Nursing

    short answer is no. There is no job in nursing where you will put your history degree to use. Unless you work at a retirement home and talk to all the old people about ww2, korea etc, lol. As far as...

  18. Clinicals....how do you do it?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Jessann5's topic in Advanced Practice

    It definitely will be harder since you work a M-F. I worked 3-12s, class one day a week, and the other 2-3 days I did clinical.That will be tough to manage with a 5 day work

  19. PT/INR Test

    YoutubeTheNP replied to TingT's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your first mistake is the INR level, in normal people not on blood thinners it should be less than 1. Not between 2-3. Keep reading your

  20. Collaborating Physician questions

    YoutubeTheNP replied to luelena451's topic in Advanced Practice

    I get your question. Simple answer is you need separate malpractice for every job you have. Think about it, why would your insurance from job A protect you from something you do on job B. Especially...

    YoutubeTheNP replied to nursinghopeful03's topic in Texas Nursing

    I use to live right down the street from BUMC, that's what we call Baylor Dallas btw. It's in a sketchy part of town like most university hospitals. Anyway as the person mentioned below the village is...

  24. Texas is driving me crazy!!!

    YoutubeTheNP replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Advanced Practice

    Do not get a gerontology NP unless you only want to work in a nursing home!! Legally you can not care for anyone who isn't a geriatric ! Same thing goes for acute care, if you only want to work in a...
