    RN/WI replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am pretty certain most adults going to college are over the age of 18 and sign a promissory note that they understand they are taking out loans for a service, (education). I do not know any...

  2. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    RN/WI replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    NP programs do have Advanced Pathophysiology, as well as Advanced Pharmacology. These build on undergraduate courses. Does anyone know of Advance Practice degrees that do not require these

  3. The Frustration of Getting Licensed

    RN/WI replied to CarolinaRN0501's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thank you! I am glad the exam is behind me, but it looks as though there is much more paperwork and red tape to go through, along with fees. I see, I am in Wisconsin which is a "yellow" state. Not...

  4. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    RN/WI replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The term is actually not appropriately used in this thread. Traditionally, diploma mills are entities that promise a degree or diploma for a fee that is illegitimate or fake, hence, useless....

  6. The Frustration of Getting Licensed

    RN/WI replied to CarolinaRN0501's topic in Advanced Practice

    I just started the process. Passed boards Wednesday. Filled out state application today. I am trying to follow the process. I guess I may not be far enough yet in the process. What license do we need...

  9. New nurse practitioner here Please help

    RN/WI replied to amc248's topic in Advanced Practice

    Seeing 25 patients a day? Are you kidding me? Are you working 12 hour shifts? I certainly hope we don’t allow the NP role to follow the path of what the RN has become. You worked hard for your...

  13. Staffing Model - Team lead, 2 care partners - 10 patients

    RN/WI replied to SLB78's topic in Medical-Surgical

    This sounds like the old nursing home , LTC model, not inpatient setting. What is wrong with nursing leadership? No wonder the new nurses don’t stick

  14. Exhausted Med-Surg Nurse

    RN/WI replied to Soliloquy's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I personally think leadership of nursing currently stinks! There seems to be no organizational pattern and this is the worse I’ve seen in 20 years. The downhill spiral started back in 2010 and has...

  15. My all-nursing unit is considering hiring PCTs, looking for advice.

    RN/WI replied to sam95UAB's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Well ,alot has changed in my 20 years of nursing. I started as a CNA. I first of all don’t agree with the name change. Patient care tech means no nursing assistant. The position has changed entirely...

  16. FNP no longer allowed to practice inpatient

    RN/WI replied to Heather7's topic in Advanced Practice

    The problem with that degree is you can’t take care of patient s of all ages. Most the FNPs I know currently are hospital it’s. I know there is a drive to change that, I would rather have the...

  19. Should I pay for clinical hours for an NP preceptor, and if so, how much is too much to pay?

    RN/WI replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just hope to get through, and I will remember to pay back by helping others once I get experience by allowing future students the opportunity to fulfill their goals. All of us need to remember this...

  20. Should I pay for clinical hours for an NP preceptor, and if so, how much is too much to pay?

    RN/WI replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am an FNP student that took a job with an organization that promised to place employees in a clinical spot with a preceptor. I was placed for two clinical rotations. The organization, which...

  21. FNP no longer allowed to practice inpatient

    RN/WI replied to Heather7's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is totally ridiculous and just a way to continue to put APRNs down from an executive standpoint and a way for the schools to continue to bring in revenue. What is not understood is as they think...
