Thank you for your article, and for your courage.

I have never said I intended to post any study. Your post is malicious.

One's own experience and beliefs does not qualify one to generalize about other nurses qualifications and practices.

I obtained my RN through an ADN program, and then bridged to a BSN program at a state university. The ADN program provided the foundation of my nurse training and is where I learned to think...

[QUOTE=DoGoodThenGo;7328256]This topic has more moving targets than a U-Boat hunting an convoy, and truth be told only those in charge of setting hiring policy know the *real* deal behind BSN...

This conversation is about much more than just "My degree is better than yours." Certain people have a vested interest in promoting as an established fact the notion that nursing care provided by...

Thank you for a very important article. I strongly agree.

In at least one of my previous responses to you I have referred to study design and study limitations. I have also disputed the use of statistics in studies with you, and have disputed the meaning...

So you are saying most of the major studies are flawed. In previous discussions with you about these kinds of studies I have referred to study design and limitations, but you have continued to ask...

Other people besides myself have refuted the evidence you have put forward.

As far as I know, the "evidence" that acute care patient outcomes are significantly improved with higher levels of BSN staff is highly debatable. So debatable in fact, that a nurse posted on AN a...

An elderly patient who is acutely ill may not be alert and oriented when they are hospitalized. This does not mean that their baseline level of functioning in their life is not good. They may have...

I don't know your family situation obviously, but I presumed that your grandfather wished to have his code status changed. In the case of my family, I have older family members who have...

I disagree with your nursing instructor's question to the patient "Do you want to be resuscitated," versus "Do you want to be allowed a natural death?" I am going by your literal wording of your...

I would like to point out that some time back a nurse on AN posted that he/she was part of a panel for his/her state that reviewed one particular prominent study in regard to the subject of...

Juan, in regard to the missed sepsis diagnosis, when it is your family member it counts.

Completely relevant to the matter at hand.

BlueDevil, nurse practitioner training is not comparable to physician training. Please direct me to the data you say proves that nurse practitioners practice safely and on a par with physicians;...

There is a big difference between the training and experience of a physician and that of a nurse practitioner. The great outcomes I have read about in studies nurse practitioners referred me to have...

Data to support my position that physicians are trained in medicine and are uniquely qualified by their training to practice medicine? Nurse practitioners do not provide the same quality of medical...

According to the terms of service I may respectfully disagree with other views put forward on this thread. Someone made the point on another thread that they believe medical school is the place for...

I don't condone bullying of anyone by anyone, but when I re-read the OP I don't see that the doctor was bullying the OP. The doctor raised his/her voice at the OP when the OP failed to take timely...

My understanding is that the Good Samaritan Act protects you from civil lawsuits as long as you are not grossly negligent in your actions. I have read gross negligence defined as lack of due...

Again, I mean no offence or disrespect to nurse practitioners or advanced practice nurses, but I am completely in agreement with samadams8 for the reasons she has mentioned.

Again, I don't mean to offend any nurse practitioners or advanced practice nurses, but I agree completely with samadams8, and I do the same vetting of doctors my family members see.
