   springing replied to RN to Medschool's topic in NP

   MEDICAL SCHOOL accreditation procedures (taken from http://www.lcme.org/newschoolprocess.htm ): A medical school obtains "Candidate School" status when: 1. It has paid the $25,000 application fee to the LCME to begin the process ...

   That does not have anything to do with whether DNP accreditation is equal to allopathic accreditation - or your claim that the LCME makes tuition burdens increase for matriculants. Wowza's statement that the worst medical school prepares you as well ...

   springing replied to RN to Medschool's topic in NP

   6 new medical schools have opened in the past few years and tuition has gone up. 11 more allopathic medical schools are set to open in the next 4 years. I would bet every single penny in my savings account that they won't stay the increase of tuition...

   How does having fewer medical schools contribute to more debt?

   the dnp is there to inflate the ego and the bank accounts of mundinger (i'm aware she's resigned) and a select few other school administrators...the extra year+ of schooling doesn't actually add anything to your clinical knowledge base, but it works ...

   As much as I was enjoying this debate, I am for sure done with it because it's SO one-sided in terms of fact and logic...and you know whose side I'm on. But I want to weigh in on this. I'm not a PA, but I do know that PAs ARE mostly independent of MD...

   Physician training is excessive? Go through the curriculum of medical school and a typical family medicine residency and tell me what you'd remove.

   The problem with this is that no matter how great the customer service is, it doesn't repair your rusty clockwork. My feelings go like this: A family medicine physician is preferable to a family nurse practitioner. A family nurse practitioner is pref...

   If you can find one place where I actually said any of that, I'll be happy to concede the point. Except, I never did. You are blinded by ideology and bringing the tone of the thread WAY down.

    springing replied to RN to Medschool's topic in NP

    Everything you post is a rant...it's a little alarming. None of it is based in logic, it's a continual, froth-mouthed screed against physicians. You are so blinded by ideology and hatred of doctors you don't even realize that Medicare cuts and malpra...

    springing replied to RN to Medschool's topic in NP

    And that's a wrap. Your whole argument is based on emotion, not logic. I have no idea what made you hate doctors so much, but I hope it doesn't cause you to avoid a good psychiatrist for the subject. Physicians are pretty integral to the health syste...

    6.8%, same as all federal loans. You call yourself a "numbers guy" and have no idea what the interest on Stafford loans are? Which is still better than a physician making 100k with 180k loans. You're not correct. Pediatric specialties are for the ...

    springing replied to RN to Medschool's topic in NP

    Are you kidding me? That's an absolute joke.You tell me what other field has average indebtedness of 150,000 just in grad debt, not counting undergrad, and has to work for 40k for the next 4-7 years while interest accumulates on that debt. You don't ...

14. Where is the DNP at in terms of being required?

    springing replied to foreverLaur's topic in Post Graduate

    Nurse practitioners are advanced practice NURSES, not mini-doctors. To say that NURSES shouldn't require NURSING experience is strange. What physicians assistants receive is immaterial. They are physician assistants, not advanced practice nurses. Bed...

    To the OP: Since you speak French, try Switzerland. Better working environment than France or Belgium. No idea what licensing requirements they have. To the derailers: If you're willing to travel anywhere to get that nursing job, why aren't you consi...
