1. Why have you decided to become a NP and not a Doctor?

   Malenurse1235954 replied to Lightning90's topic in NP

   Just my personal pet peeve. The title should ve np vs physician. Physicians shouldnt have exclusive rights on the word "Doctor," the majority of NPs are being trained at the doctorate level.

   Did you find a form where you give them your contact info, so they can call you back and answer all your questions? You could even call the nursing department and say you are a potential dnp student. GCU has a good rep in AZ tons of RN grads in Tucso...

5. MD to NP

   Malenurse1235954 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in NP

   Didnt I write MD to NP? look at the OP, NURSES. the AMA is never going to merge educational paths. But we could let a few MDs learn to become a NP. Its funny how you all saw that OP reversed MD to NP -NOT- NP to MD

6. MD to NP

   Malenurse1235954 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in NP

   I bet I am not alone when I say group projects suck! I am in a class where the whole thing is going to be a series of group projects. The first project I did solo, sent emails made postings over a week worth of time. Its like no one even showed up. I...

9. Too soon to become an NP?

   Malenurse1235954 replied to SjwRNBSN's topic in NP Students

   You sound bitter. Am I reading this right, you are a 20 year nurse. How long have you been dreaming of being a NP? Do you work in a place where NPs boss you around? Help me understand why you sound so angry?

10. NP school, i suffer from tics/tourettes

    Malenurse1235954 replied to 2bnpcout's topic in NP Students

    I think you just have to do it. People are very mature in NP school, its not high school. Tbh if you were in my class Id be more intrested than anything else. Ive never encountered anyone with tourettes, ever. It would be good to find out the differe...

11. New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    Malenurse1235954 replied to RNinCali15's topic in New Nurse

    Just hang in there. Its your dream job, remember? While not ideal for you to stagnate your growth by "paying your dues," it wont last forever. Maybe use some of your time to help with the sicker pts if the nurse will allow. I was a tech on ICU while ...

12. Are You In It For The Money Or Because You Really Care

    Unless you work for free, you are in it for the money to some degree in my opinion.

13. DNP Fluff

    Malenurse1235954 posted a topic in Doctoral

    Just from comparing nurse practitioner DNP vs MSN course lists I felt these were fluff classes. I recently started the first semester of a DNP program and my opinion is evolving. Currently, I think the extra classes add some value. However, spending ...
