NP diploma mills? Are we diluting the profession?

by Sean.Dent, posted in Career Advice, Coffee Talk, NP Student

What about 100% online NP programs? How about accelerated or direct-entry NP programs?

This is a response to the following article: Independent practice: Both nurse practitioners and physicians should be outraged

While I’m not supporting or denouncing the article, I do question its motives and stance. I get the feeling it was a bit one-sided. None the less, I felt the article raises a number of sensitive and important areas of concern. Many of them have been submitted as #heysean questions. Here are just some of the talking points:

  • ill-prepared NPs
  • 100% acceptance rate
  • 0 hours working as an RN
  • non-nurse direct entry programs
  • clinical hours: the honor system
  • similar outcomes NP vs. physician

Where do you find NP school preceptors? What NP certification exam should I take?

by Sean.Dent, posted in New NP, NP Student, Pre NP Student

NP clinical rotations are not like RN school. You actually have to do the legwork. You have to make the arrangements and find a preceptor willing to teach. Here are 5 tips to help you find them:

1. Talk to the university
2. Talk to your classmates
3. Talk to the national organizations
4. Find help online (social networks)
5. Talk to employers

•••

There are different certification exams you can take once you graduate. I have some thoughts on things you need to know when choosing your exam.

 

 

Until next time…

How important is student clinical placement?

by Sean.Dent, posted in Career Advice, Nursing Student

Does senior nursing clinical placement affect a potential new grad job?

What if your senior clinical is not in the area of nursing you want? What if it’s not in the area where you want to work as a new grad?
