  1. Urgent pls help!

    shibaowner replied to entrepreneur_np's topic in Advanced Practice

    A certified PMHNP is expected to see children and adolescents and also be able to deal with addiction. Your salary is irrelevant to this situation. You also did not get your population limitations...

  2. Trying to decide best schooling path for me.

    shibaowner replied to kmd104's topic in General Students

    The nursing schools focus on your prereq GPA. If you got Ds in any of those, please retake them. If they weren't nursing prereqs, don't worry about it. Just apply for the

  3. ADN or BSN?

    shibaowner replied to Jfighty's topic in General Students

    Since you are a veteran, go straight for the BSN and get it over with. It will be easier to find an RN job with a

  4. will np get full autonomy in california in the future?

    shibaowner replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure I understand what your question is. Also, are you an NP? 1. There is no legislation currently in the works to give California NPs full practice authority. I'm sure it will happen at...

  5. BSN is a joke

    shibaowner replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    1. You have attacked every single study presented, yet all you provide is anecdotal observation, which is not even evidence. You also demonstrate a lack of understanding of levels of evidence and...

  6. 10 years until retirement.. should I go back to School?

    shibaowner replied to Pride/hardwork17's topic in Nursing Career

    If you are happy in your job and feel that it is secure, don't worry about it. If your employer decides to require a BSN, they will give you ample time to complete a bridge program. However, if you...

  7. BSN is a joke

    shibaowner replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    The studies that exist indicate BSN nurses get better outcomes. So unless someone can produce a study that indicates that is not true, there is not point in debating this. Nursing is a profession....

  8. BSN is a joke

    shibaowner replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Where is your evidence? Do you have any evidence? Can you find any evidence? Apparently not. I have yet to see a single piece of evidence indicating that ADN nurses have better skills upon...

  9. BSN is a joke

    shibaowner replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    One of the great things about nursing as a career is that there are many different pathways. I've known many nurses that started out as CNAs, then moved up one step at a time - LVN, RN, BSN, advanced...

  10. BSN is a joke

    shibaowner replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    For all those who say public health or community health is useless - read the All Nurses article: Public Health Nursing - A Critical

  11. BSN is a joke

    shibaowner replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    No one is requiring an MSN for bedside nursing, nor is that the topic of discussion

  12. BSN is a joke

    shibaowner replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean DO vs MD? DO school is a doctorate program and takes 4 years, just like med school. Name one PROFESSION (not a trade or vocation) that does NOT require a college

  13. BSN is a joke

    shibaowner replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Unless the OP's employer mandated a specific RN to BSN program, they should have put some effort into finding a good program. Since I live near San Diego, I'll use the San Diego State University...

  14. BSN is a joke

    shibaowner replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    RNs do need an understanding of social work. The nursing model is holistic care that also considers the patient's community and environment. In addition, medicine is moving to a team-oriented...

  15. Community College To CSU?!

    shibaowner replied to jocelyn.page's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You become an RN by completing the CC nursing program. However, it can be harder to get into a CC program because it is the cheapest way to go, so there can be a bit of a wait. You could complete...

  16. Mental Health (LPC) to PMHNP - Old guy!

    shibaowner replied to Moved-on's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't worry about the money. You will be getting financial aid - scholarships and loans. Apply to the schools you like and see what they give you. Often, the more expensive schools also have huge...

  17. CC to CSU

    shibaowner replied to dgcruz's topic in General Students

    I went to SDSU (non-nursing major). Call them and ask. If you graduate from CC with 3.0 or better GPA, you are GUARANTEED a spot in a UC or SC. Please check on this. You should do your nursing...

  18. **Please Give Me Nursing/Allied Health Career/Program Advice**

    shibaowner replied to amberscareer's topic in Nursing Career

    With an autoimmune disease, nursing may not be the best choice for you if you are uncomforable. Please talk to your healthcare provider about this before you make a decision. In nursing school, you...

  19. Failing score on clinical evaluation (long story)

    shibaowner replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    I think some folks are being too hard on this student. Did all of you know every single med needed BEFORE every single clinical? If so, then you have the power to see into the future. And none of...

  20. Failing score on clinical evaluation (long story)

    shibaowner replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, not all clinical instructors are nice, nor are they always right. However, that is the real world. Personally, I would not expect a student to know everything in clinical. In...

  21. Confused New NP

    shibaowner replied to NPblueheart's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You have to make this decision based on what your preferences. A bunch of strangers can't decide for you. We don't know you - your likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, etc. The only reason to...

  22. Am I in over my head?

    shibaowner replied to TroyM's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You should get your BSN first. Get the best grades you can in that program, then apply for an MSN. You don't have to have straight A's, but graduate school is harder than undergrad. You can also...

  23. Career change to nursing

    shibaowner replied to Willyboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UCLA is very competitive. Strive for a 4.0 GPA and good volunteer or CNA experience to make yourself a more desirable candidate. Taking some UCLA extension classes might help if you get an A. There...

  24. Online Prereqs

    shibaowner replied to soccer_cat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to check with the nursing schools you are interested in. Some will not accept online

  25. Any information on American Career College RN Program ?

    shibaowner replied to CherishG29's topic in California Nursing

    That tuition is absurd! You can go to Johns Hopkins for less than that. Try the state colleges and universities, or a CC. You can always go part time. It is ridiculous to go into a bunch of debt...
