1. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   SN2bExpAt replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   After finishing up with medicine and surgery rotations (3rd year), I can honestly say that nurses are capable of cannabalism towards the young and truly defenseless students. Backstabbing, cutthroat, selfish, ego stroking, petty, bullying, belittling...

2. The Future: You Must have a Masters to Apply to a Nurse Anesthesia Program??!!

   SN2bExpAt replied to papmar's topic in SRNA

   You know this question is coming. Why would I bother with 4 years of extra nursing school when in that same amount of time I can get a medical degree that has unlimited diversity potential? You already need to take chem and org chem to be considered ...

3. How is the NP role different from MD

   SN2bExpAt replied to abcdefg's topic in NP

   BINGO!!! I was fortunate enough to witness an autopsy in my medicine clinical rotation. The pathologist was excellent about teaching my group as she cut and dissected each organ. The patient was a 285 lb female 25 year old heavy smoker who died of a...

4. What Chem courses did you have prior to acceptance?

   SN2bExpAt replied to SN2bExpAt's topic in SRNA

   So, um, I am guessing by the non response that the Chem requirements aren't all that important then? High school will suffice? Where's a Biff Tannen emoticon when you need one???

5. What Chem courses did you have prior to acceptance?

   SN2bExpAt posted a topic in SRNA

   CRNA schools highly recommend a chemistry course(s) prior to entering their programs. However, these schools never seem to specify a preference(s). Some recommend Organic Chem, others BioChem. That would infer at least two full chem courses, sinc...

6. DNP Article

   SN2bExpAt replied to prairienp's topic in Doctoral

   I have been thinking. The theory is that DNPs will be able to bill insurance companies just like docs, right? This would suggest that they are not earning a yearly salary. Mundinger suggests superior care because of the "Noctor" approach, which is ...

7. List of Schools scrapping their MSN programs

   SN2bExpAt replied to SN2bExpAt's topic in NP

   Is there going to be a standardization process to ensure consistency? Isn't there something like 190 programs nationwide slated to be offered in the upcoming years? I have a hard time swallowing that someone who attended campus for 4 years is on th...

8. List of Schools scrapping their MSN programs

   SN2bExpAt posted a topic in NP

   Well, it looks as though DNP entry to practice is coming well before the 2015 proposed "official changeover." Two schools that have scrapped their MSN programs: -UTHSC (Tennesse) -U of Michigan (Flint) Feel free to add to this list.

9. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

   SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral

   Proof? How many clinical hours do med students put in prior to finishing a residency? Around 6000 hours or so? NP programs? 500-700 ish hours? Research indicates that two fields can equally Dx strep throat? A broken arm? Prescribe Humalin R for ...

10. Is BSN entry to practice....

    SN2bExpAt replied to SN2bExpAt's topic in International

    Are the foreign nurses that Capital Health is recruiting Baccalauraeate prepared? If not, that is one glaring hypocrisy. Or is it that the RNs brought from overseas being settled into Canada as LVN/LPNs? This is the same "better than you" attitude ...

11. Is BSN entry to practice....

    SN2bExpAt posted a topic in International

    Is BSN entry to practice a proactive measure to keep foreign trained nurses out of Canada? I am seeing two sides here. You have the angels in the sky press release version. This is the version where some nursing prof., whom hasn't had to deal in b...

    Oh boy, lines are gonna be drawn with jackhammers in the near future. /me grabs a bag of popcorn....this is going to get real ugly in the near future.

13. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral

    We already are robotic in the search for EBP based rationale. We are constantly beat over the head with "EBP" in our Nursing Skills labs. We are told not to listen to the "older" nurses if what they show us contradicts what is taught in class. The...

14. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral

    As for reductionist, I would think that 4 years undergrad BN and a few years in practice would help solidify our caring perspective and help us not write off people so quickly. I was watching Mystery Diagnosis on Discovery Health this morning, I ha...

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral

    Scroll down to Length of Program UTHSC has already implented DNP as their standard entry to practice as of 2009; guess they got sick of waiting I'll be honest here, I just assumed 3 years because I was thinking to the future and forgetting about curr...
