NP w/no desire for RN?

Specialties NP Nursing Q/A

Well, not so much NO desire...but are there any NP's out there that wanted to become (and had their sights set on being an NP from day 1) an NP with no real 'drive' to be an RN first? My cousin is finishing up her RN-MSN program and never really wanted to become an RN, but she really wanted to become an NP, so she went the RN route to become an NP (which I know you have to do).

I know this is somewhat rare, but wondering are there any other NP's out there that looked at RN as kinda pre-NP school/clinical stuff in order to become an NP? Like, they may not be real thrilled with what they are doing (RN) but they know they have to do it in order to become an NP. Keep in mind I'm not saying you would hate being an RN or hate RN's or anything to that affect, but you dream has been to become an NP and RN school/work is a sort of necessary 'not the most enthusiastic' hurdle?

I never heard of her either, and have been doing this too many years to count, and I teach as well.

she wrote the theory of "man becoming" which was later changed to human becoming. ideas alongside theorist, martha rogers.

"nurses who practice guided by the human becoming theory live the processes of the porifice practice methodology - illuminating meaning, synchronizing rhythms, and mobilizing transcendence."

and, no, i do not teach porifice in my classes either.

hi siri,

do you teach theory? i just found it an interesting point that she was never a bedside nurse. i wonder what she taught straight out of nursing school? today i am studyng orem's self care deficit theory. do you think her theory could be used in addiction nursing? krisssy

The fact that you never heard of Rosmarie Porifice doesn't not mean she is not a famour nurse theorist. It just means that YOU never heard of her. Since you are a nurse, you should understand and know the theory behind which you practice. Do a search and find out how she was able to teach without having bedside experience.

I was just wondering how she became so famous when I've never heard of her. Since I am a nurse, I do have a theory...several in fact...which guides my practice. One of them is even a nursing theory!

Ok, I went to her site and when I saw her picture with her hand under her chin, I just had to get out of there, LOL!

I know "how' she can teach without any bedside experience...many do...

this is sarcasm......so the BSN makes one a better nurse than the ADN? dont all nurses take the same licensure examination?

by your post then you could say than an entry level MSN-RN nurse is better than a BSN nurse, even both took the same exam.

First, there is no way that they are going to relegate a RN with an ADN TO A tech status.Your Professor is mis- informed if she told you that, Probably just to make those who have a BSN feel better about themselves. A RN is a RN. Most programs that are 2 year programs, just happen to require more clinical time. I am not against a BSN, I have a BSN. What I am against is this information they give nurses who pursue BSN. When I started nursing, the ADN nurses could run rings around me because they had more clinical time.

What nursing theory is your practice guided by?

Just to get you on the right track, the associate degree was created to prepare "technical" nurses...you can't change history. Pts and OTs did the same thing with PT assistants and OT assistants. The clinical time is not a very strong argument once you get the same amount of clinical time. Now you should be ahead with your additional preparation. Every additional course you have taken will be beneficial to you. Therefore, it is against all logic to say that an RN is an RN. And the fact that they all take the same exam or have the same license is a non-issue.

I will look them up. I am really curious about whose theory you base your practice on. Thanks for answering. Krisssy
