  1. Where are all the MAs?

    Seriously? That would be a waste of time and money. If you are going to do the program look at accredited programs and no others. Would you attempt an unaccredited nursing school?
  2. treated unfairly at clinicals

    I would be very surprised if the college accepts your credits. As for your contention that you were mistreated - you couldn't do anything!! You basically went to the site expecting them to teach you the skills you should have learned in your "program...
  3. Short Question? Medical Assistant or Certified Nurse Assistant

    One can become a medical assistant either by diploma (1 year) or Associate of Applied Science (2 years) and depending on your coursework, some courses - General Psych or English Comp for example - will transfer. Nurse Assistant is generally a class ...
  4. Can't get into Nursing school advice anyone?

    Apply to and get accepted into an ADN program, complete it successfully, sit for and pass the NCLEX, work in ICU and certify, enroll in and complete a RN to BSN program with a really good GPA and excellent GRE scores then apply to nurse anesthesia sc...
  5. Fairly new RN with Medical Assistant interview

    I am curious how you described your education in the application that got you the interview in the first place. From what you wrote, it doesn't appear that you have been completely honest: "... Who's to say I'll be offered more just because they s...
  6. Favorite "Lay Terms" For Diagnoses

    I could use that some days! Some people have a "cysk" removed.
  7. CMA posing as nurse...?

    "...We are directly trained by the Doctor. .." Really? So you didn't complete an educational program of some sort? It's illegal for someone who has not successfully passed the certification exam to call themselves a "CMA". Where do hospitals uti...
  8. Using PDA's in practice.

    I have an E2 and use it so that I don't have to be "...lugging around 15 pound reference to each clinic, or leaving my NP prescribing guideline at home..." I have transcribed my pearls of practice into it, so I am good to go!
  9. Ok, this isn't spelling or grammar related: What makes me crazy is people talking about getting their RN "degree" :smackingf HELLO - RN is what you get to use after you pass boards.
  10. NP Licenses

    Insurers require certification in order to become credentialed and, therefore, to be reimbursed. Why would one not be nationally certified???
  11. ANCC or AANP Exam - Which to take???

    Then the continuing ed requirements start..........
  12. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    Well, all I can say is the more I practice, the more I realize how much I don't know and I am ever grateful for all the NPs and PAs I work with!:smilecoffeecup:
  13. Hello, I've been at work! I think you're right, pinoy. I had heard about it at a continuing ed program I'd attended and thought that it might be worthwhile if I ever chose to work with someone who required me to take call :trout: . I decided aga...
  14. Greetings, all. I have heard that completion of a course such as this will be required for practice in an acute care facility. the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), the Fundamental Critical Care Support Course (FCCS) is designed for both ...
  15. Should FNP be required for all APN's?

    It may have to do with prescriptive ability. Some states have CNS and as such, those practitioners can't prescribe (if I am not mistaken). Being certified as an FNP or even Adult would help you get around that hurdle.
