  1. adv patho question

    Thanks for your reply but that's the thing too, I havent had undergrad patho. I have taken other useful courses: A&P, Microbiology, Chem, Pharmacology, and Organismal Biology as an undergrad. I have also taken some Neuroscience and Genetics as a ...
  2. Any PhD Students Out There?

    Hi, I'm a Ph.D. student but not in nursing nor am I an RN. I think there are different perspectives, with regard to PhD education, in all allied health/nursing professions where the masters in the entry level (e.g., advanced practice nursing, OT, SLP...
  3. adv patho question

    Hi everybody. Next semester I plan on enrolling in the advanced patho class in the nursing department. The course is required for masters students attempting to become NPs or CNSs. I am not a nursing major but rather am a PhD student in a non-nursing...
  4. Deaf people

    ASL is also more prevalent in areas that have large Deaf communities (e.g., Washington, D.C., New York, and California). Many school systems teach SEE (SEE2) which is a manual version of English. Although ASL and SEE may share many signs, the syntax ...
  5. Do most N.A. Graduate Programs accept Biology majors?

    You might be better off checking into Anesthesia Assistant or Physician Assistant programs. They are more geared towards biology majors. Anestheisa Assistants are essentially the same as Nurse Anesthetists except they are only licensed to practice in...
  6. PhD/NP advice

    LOL, I don't know how anybody could frown upon a PhD in biomedical engineering. If anything, they might only be hesitant about accepting you becuz they might be afraid u may upstage the professors on a variety of issues. If they don't accept you, it ...

    I am posting in hopes of soliciting some feedback from clinical nurse practioners and if possible any nurse practiioners with PhDs. I am currently a second year grad student in an unrelated program. Beginning in the Fall I plan in enrolling in the mi...

  10. evoked potential monitoring

    Do/can CRNAs do evoked potential monitoring? I was told they do EEG monitoring (at least MDAs do) but that SSEP, VEP, and AEP makes it to difficult because it detracts from the ability to monitor anesthesia. I know in the past evoked potential resear...
  11. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    The faculty are needed before it produces DrNP graduates! I don't see how this helps the faculty shortage! I'm not sure about nursing but in many other fields tenure for faculty members (associate professor rank) requires an academic doctorate (e.g.,...
  12. Do RNs have to take PA's order?

    I don't mean to offend anyone but some of the responses I've read have somewhat irritated me. I do agree that PAs and NPs are relatively equal. Neither mid-level is inherently superior. When comparing the two, it really comes down to the individual c...
  13. One problem that just came to mind relates to those colleges that belong to universities that are not doctoral-granting institutions. Many smaller colleges/universities award the master's as their highest degree available. I wonder if this transition...
  14. Marijuana for everyone!

    Legalize It, Don't Criticize It
  15. The practical value is primarily political. Having a doctorate as the entry-level for a particular profession, in this case advanced practice nursing, sets a profession up to move towards autonomy. I would say that the quest for autonomy and all the ...
