I wanted to let anyone that is considering PA vs NP or RN know that I have experienced a semester of nursing classes, and found that the curicculum did not match my expectations nor seem appropriate for later consideration of applicability to a PA program post BSN.
I don't want to blather on about a subject that I have been vocal about since I came to the board. This debate has been worked over and over on many threads, but never before with someone that had been through nursing classes, to my knowledge.
If there is an interest expressed, I will post away and answer questions for the people that wish to discuss the topic.

You have been treated with the UPMOST Dignity and honesty one possibly could give. Questions that you asked were answered, requests made given. Other than someone coming to you and holding your hand and congradulating you for making an epiphany about your future, Everything has been answered. The pissing contest as you call it , well that was with me and fortunately Your dealing with a OR NURSE that has been known to hold her bladder for 10 hrs so I can stand my time and wait this one out.
I imagine the underground movement in PMs has begun to put me on the "list". The fact that you are talking to me may implicate you as well. Even if you are disrespecting me in front of the others, I have been around long enough to know they don't like that you are posting to me at all.
If paranoia set in about the "others" well then Im sorry for you but Im not seeing that either.
The sacrasticness however yes is showing but Its due.
Now if you would like some Cheese to go with your whine, and your sanctimonious attitude please feel free to drink.

ROFLMAO
Did I scrape a NERVE?????
Its ok My patients do just fine and I ooze compassion constantly , its not fake and It has a rationel but when ignorance combats the forces that be then one can only tollerate so much.
All are welcome here and everyone stands to benefit from the lively exchanges and insights on this board as long as they do not turn hurtful.
I truly believe Peeps was trying to exchange information and present alternative options for students who are not sure which path in healthcare they wish to take. I don't believe his intent was to malign nursing. By the same token, I also recognize how some of his comments appear to devalue the nursing model, which I think, Peeps, is why so many folks are taking issue. From that perspective, it can be construed that you are invalidating the very thing we are all working toward and hold so dear.
It is hard to interpret the nuances of a discussion online without the benefit of tone of voice, facial expressions, body language, etc. We're all friendlies here - there are no bad guys.
Yeah I tend to agree with Kcsun, this is getting ridiculous! I'm tiring of this argument. Peeps, go be a PA, more power to ya honey. I'll stick with nursing, psychosocial crap and all. Don't bust on nursing as a profession and I won't bust on the PA profession. Deal??
Oh gawwwwd the terror that must register in your patient's eyes once thier sedation has worn off and they realize you are there for them.
It's time to cycle off the fat-burners I think........ok?
I have nothing to add to the argument itself...
But I just wanted to say to Peeps... I'm shocked at your stooping to this level. I've not known this to be typical of you. I've followed this thread with great interest, but I just lost it.
You may percieve it that way though, so why not quote me and explain? Maybe I can offer you a different way of looking at it that you didn't think of before. Maybe I said something in passion that I may want to retract, I've been very upset.
It really does concern me now. It's clear that a few of you are hurt by some comments, but I really can't answer to them(as i would anything i've said ever ), if you don't quote them and explain what bothers you.
Insults are darkly satisfying:devil: , but I don't think we are of use to eachother with such empty words.
Me included.
Please find it in your heart to find the source and talk about it.

Be patient with me Heather.
This is really nothing compared to the battle of the breastfeeders is it?:chuckle
