   An FNP is a NP; so, it will be fine. To start a new topic, just click on the green button at the top right of the forum that states, "Add New Topic." Good luck in School and welcome to allnurses!!!

2. Triage scenario, opinions needed.

   BassCatchingNurse replied to Jasel's topic in Emergency

   We keep people all the time...until...a) a responsible adult assumes care of them...or b) the doctor believes the pt is no longer intoxicated. Here is a good read if anyone is interested.... Management of the Intoxicated Patient in the Emergency Dep...

3. So disappointed with on-line program

   BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

   I'm happy to hear that you are out there fighting the good fight. Hopefully, your peers will join you, and we will see change. I know it is not an easy fight, but it is one that I believe can be won!

4. NP Jobs still looking pretty good.

   BassCatchingNurse replied to MikeFNPC's topic in NP

   Haha...it's ok to think that way. Believe me, what I think when I read some posts would get me banned from Allnurses. I just would like to see more positive posts. Nursing is a wonderful profession and has given me a lot over the years.

5. So disappointed with on-line program

   BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

   I agree with you 100%. I do believe the standards should be increased. I wonder how many of the many NP's that complain about the low standards are out there really trying to make an impact. Do they even attend their association meetings? Do they try...

   BassCatchingNurse replied to MikeFNPC's topic in NP

   I understand the concerns that affect people's career. I guess my post wasn't real clear. I am not talking specifically about the negativity on the NP threads. It is the whole site. Certainly, you can find threads on here where people are arguing abo...

   BassCatchingNurse replied to MikeFNPC's topic in NP

   I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate your positivity. It'd be nice to see more people like you here. I see Allnurses as a "Professional Message Board"; so, it disappoints me when I see so much negativity. The truth is it is nursing in general...

8. So disappointed with on-line program

   BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

   I am still looking into various programs and speaking to my co-workers. As I stated in my first post, "I WILL NEED to attend an online university." Thus, I am not currently in a program. I have 12 years of RN experience. I thought most programs have ...

9. So disappointed with on-line program

   BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

   I stand corrected. I guess we are in agreement. I repeatedly stated that I am all for raising the standards of all online schools. I guess you could have corrected my misunderstanding from the beginning, but instead you chose to talk down to me. You ...

10. So disappointed with on-line program

    BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

    Look what I found while looking at the NP forum. You are saying the same thing for which you are trying to belittle me. Interesting. You said this person would need to read more on their own in order to make up for the program's low standards. You sa...

11. So disappointed with on-line program

    BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

    I am sure you are a wonderful provider and certainly showed dedication. I have a lot of respect for what you did to obtain your goal. I, too, will have to make sacrifices. I'm sure not on the level of what you did, but there will be sacrifices. The b...

12. So disappointed with on-line program

    BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

    There are people that go to med school and PA school that have kids, quit their jobs, and move. But some can't. Some have family that can watch the kids. Some do not need the income. Med students will get loans to live on because they will be doctors...

13. So disappointed with on-line program

    BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

    The difference is...one would be an "eye witness account" that would all but ensure a conviction...the other would not be sufficient to even go to court. But, you already knew that. So it is ok that you believed in yourself prior to being rigorousl...

14. So disappointed with on-line program

    BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

    I agree with you about "low quality schools." I personally would be on board with raising the standards...and having a standard across the board as far as curriculum, clinicals, etc. I do not see how entrance exams affect the quality of graduates. Ye...

15. So disappointed with on-line program

    BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in NP Students

    I certainly never claimed to be "well above average in just about everything." It's not even about me. It's a question as to whether online schools are sufficient to put out quality NPs or not. Ironically, Dodongo agrees there are quality online scho...
