  1. Independent Practice vs Scope of Practice

    I disagree. I have a scope of practice that allows me to manage ICU patients as well as perform numerous procedures, but that doesn't put me on the same level as a physician
  2. Nurses join International push

    Yet another waste of union member's dues....:D:D That idiot Boss Rose is just trying to move up in the world.I guess that all of the money she pockets from her vast union membership, 165,000 out of how many million nurses?, just isn't enough anymore...
  3. Haven't even graduated and already burned out...

    More fabulous reasons for doing in patient peds! No drug seekers!! There is no way I could bring myself to do some of what you are talking about...
  4. Preceptors?? Anyone??

    Where are you located?
  5. MSN or DNP?

    DNP is NOT required. It is only a suggestion. Unless you just want to get a doctorate, the MSN will serve fine for a NP. The DNP adds ZERO to your competence as a provider but does add to those who are in administration or teaching positions. Any cur...
  6. Staff meeting

    We had an intensivist quit when the new medical director demanded that everyone in the PICU address each other by first name! Cya!
  7. Terms used to describe APNs - what do people call you?

  10. Strike at Children Hospital

    Great! So now nurses are walking out of a children's hospital over insurance contributions? I thought unions didn't like to strike? You seem very happy about your fellow nurses striking, why is that?? This is what makes unions look bad. Would you fee...

  12. differences between PA and NP?

    That's another huge debate in itself. I am a NP and can tell you that my nursing experience has little to do with my day-to-day job function. I examine, diagnose, and treat patients and none of my nursing experience has helped with the exception of h...
  13. differences between PA and NP?

    Np's fall under the board of nursing. PA's under the board of Medicine. PA's , in most cases, have significant healthcare experience prior to entering school. Their education is patterned after med school with didactic up front then rotations through...
  14. Hiring for strike

    Would you like to see my pay stub?? Additionally, you should stick to what you know....there are very few, less than 10 hospitals that are unionized. You have such great information. Where did I say anything about unemployment? After many years in th...
  15. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    originally posted by llg i'm old enough to remember when it became a requirement for np's to have master's degrees. at first people disagreed, saying that the msn inclusion of research, theory, leadership, etc. was not necessary for an np. those vo...
