WOW! I am shocked, amazed and happy to have miscalculated!! We're not completely there yet but.....! There are indications that Hernandez is looking to amend the bill to require NPs to be...

The University of North Dakota has an excellent program - more units but you will be well prepared.

I am amazed and happily admit that I was wrong! It isn't completely there yet, but the California Senate passed SB491 today! The bill will now go to the Assembly. Please contact Sen Hernandez, who...

Practice of law is even more varied - each state determines its own rules - some have reciprocity agreements others don't....some states only recognize grads from ABA schools, others allow...

We shouldn't give in as readily on the more education argument. Longer training yes - more education maybe. Lots of foreign MDs in the US went straight to med school from high school (yes it is...

LOL - Ok....back to the ranch.....again.... Does anybody know of any DATA, any STUDIES, ANYTHING EVIDENCE BASED, that shows NP directed/provided care to be less than excellent (or at least...

Ok....back to the ranch..... We could banter on and on ad infinitum with ANECDOTAL stories about how an NP or an MD or a DO missed something. That is not data, it is not a study, consequently it...

LOL - Zen, I can't believe I keep responding! Anyway, I don't agree that it is more pay for more knowledge. If knowledge was the determining factor then those in academic roles would be making...

University of North Dakota - it is an excellent program. NPs were not designed by insurance companies, nor by MDs although an MD was involved in the first NP program in Colorado in 1965....

OMG! I apologize guys - I did not intend to initiate a big brouhaha! Blondie, NPs were never designed to be "midlevels". You will find that the AANP specifically opposes that term. NPs are...

Oh well....all I can do is try.....you'll see.....

I'm not saying to do nothing....I'm just saying that I don't think the bill has a snowball's chance in you know where. I'm still up for trying though! I am very frustrated with CANP and am no...

FuturePsych, you should get on board with equal pay. If you are not championing your intended future profession, you are hurting it - and nursing has a long history of shooting itself in the foot -...

The thing is, with both CMA and CNA opposing, this bill doesn't have a chance. Someone asked "what is wrong with this state?" - I think the question is "what is wrong with nursing?"! Nursing is like...

Unfortunately CNA is opposing this bill along with CMA!

When did they decide to make it there number 1 item? I was a member and they weren't doing a thing about establishing a scope of practice - big focus was whether non nurses could give Diastat in...

The answer is because NP programs have no real consistency. NP programs are all over the board - and PMHNP programs are among the most variable. I started at the University of North Dakota -...

3.96 GPA, 1470 GRE. Applied to 2 schools, accepted at both.

Sent you a pm.....

It sounds like you are more interested in working as an RN than as an NP. I'm not aware of an NP Flight/MICU type position. If you want to work as an RN, then probably the best route would be getting...

It is interesting to note the similarities between current NP education and the state of medical education described in the Flexner report.

Absolutely agree with you Juan - it is not the money that is the motivation. I would hope that would be the case for most docs too. I just think that if I'm doing essentially the same work as a doc I...

Dearest Juan, I am not misinformed. California law prevents hospitals from hiring physicians with only a few exceptions eg non-profit teaching hospitals. Consequently, the majority of hospitals in...

Guys, Let's stop accusing people of not knowing what they're talking about - I never accused anybody of not knowing what they're talking about - what I did state, was what practices I'm seeing at...

Juan, The issue is not just semantics - its funding. Because of the structure, the separate physicians groups are being paid by outside sources and are not truly cost items to the hospital. In...
