  1. What do you prefer to be called?

    prelift replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    anybody with a Dr. title in academics can be called doctor if they want, not sure why people would care to besides ego reasons. But in clinic, only physicians should be called doctor, otherwise it is...

  2. Are you a nurse practitioner without any nursing experience?

    prelift replied to bethymaester's topic in Advanced Practice

    The rate limited step of pumping out a good provider, (excluding personal attention and effort to take care of the patient) is a rigorous education. Nursing experience may help but it does not replace...

  3. Do you ever feel like you 'settled' for being an APNP instead of an MD?

    prelift replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are correct BCgrad, nurses do not replace physicians. Nor should they think of themselves as equal. I know this goes against all of the nursing mantra but until they go through the same rigors...

  4. Recently met a FNP grad from Chamberlain

    prelift replied to raindrop's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think the argument is more for profit school vs not for profit. There are good online programs if they at least require campus visits and such. For profit schools usually end up taking those who 1....

  5. Do you ever feel like you 'settled' for being an APNP instead of an MD?

    prelift replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There isnt anything wrong with being an NP or other APRN. As long as one always knows they do not, will not, should not, never will have the same authority as a physician then it is not settling, it...

  6. Want to work as an NP-Help

    prelift replied to NPUMD2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    good luck getting hired. employers can see that red flag from the

  7. Needing encouragement: I think I regret being an FNP

    prelift replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in Advanced Practice

    because MD/DO actually know what they are doing. no difference in level of care lol. go drink more of your kool aid The states may have fallen for the nursing propaganda bus but the hospitals know...

  8. Do you ever feel like you 'settled' for being an APNP instead of an MD?

    prelift replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Medical schools teach patient centered care which is the same thing as holistic care. The only people who are saying "physicians treat the problem, nurses treat the person" are nurses. Its not like...

  9. Thoughts on these job offers please!

    prelift replied to Freedomsong's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    second job. most places in the south arent a bad commute unless your in atlanta or some huge

  10. Future Market Saturation

    prelift replied to guest538567's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yeah up until this point NP school was pretty much a gold set into a job in most places. Its fallen into the field of most degrees now though where you have to actually be good and/or go to a good...

  11. Odd patient medical issue. Help?

    prelift replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    hard to tell anything without a full history. make sure its not medication related (do not know her history) Most not so common lipid disorders present at a young age (do not know her age but in...

  12. Future Market Saturation

    prelift replied to guest538567's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    you could sling a cat on a med surg floor or ICU and hit 12 nurses going back to NP school. 13 on a

  13. Future Market Saturation

    prelift replied to guest538567's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    of course it will be saturated. Everybody and their mom dog, cat, and 12 year old child is going back to become an NP so they can don the white coat, stick their noses in the air, make up fake studies...

  14. Best NP Specialties for Single Parents

    prelift replied to cjones89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would still advise PA school over NP school esp if you have a bachelors. the market in the 10 year stretch will be much more friendly to PA than NP. Just pick a cheap state school and again dodge...

  16. Best NP Specialties for Single Parents

    prelift replied to cjones89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Since you sent me a PM, I will tell you what I actually would do since holding back advice from somebody who wants to make it in life is unethical. 1. take prereqs, micro, A and P, do well in them,...

  17. For APRNs: What's your lifestyle like?

    prelift replied to CDC0810's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I play nice in real life and spout painful truths on forums. Never argue in real life, just let people think what they want, could care less if they run themselves into a poop hole. Im on a 1 month...

  18. For APRNs: What's your lifestyle like?

    prelift replied to CDC0810's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    first I wake up in the morning, drink my red bull then look into the mirror while I wear my glistening un earned white coat and say to myself "I AM BETTER THAN DOCTORS I AM BETTER THAN DOCTORS." Next...

  19. Best NP Specialties for Single Parents

    prelift replied to cjones89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Accounting. What you ask isnt really available in the medical field unless you are like a dermatologist. Plus the florida job market sucks but it sounds like you want the easy path so i would go to...

  20. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    prelift replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You'll prob do great if you have the motivation and ethic to read those two books. Robbins is a good read, have not read entire thing but used the pictures and charts in it and went back to the text...

  21. Should DNP's be able to practice on their own? How do you feel about midlevel encroachment

    prelift replied to curiousobserver's topic in Advanced Practice

    You sit there and ask for proof in all your posts and point towards studies that prove nothing but the fact NPs can manage HTN, cholesterol, and some Diabetes. You know it is true that NP education is...

  22. Should DNP's be able to practice on their own? How do you feel about midlevel encroachment

    prelift replied to curiousobserver's topic in Advanced Practice

    It isnt trolling just because it does not agree with you. The average NP functions at the level of a third year med student at best. A few are good but most are not. Biased nursing studies do not...

  23. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    prelift replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly do not understand the intro story either. It is basically a quick shot at physicians, labeling them as socially inept, and prompting forced equality between NPs and the resident in the...

  24. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    prelift replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    you have to have completed 2 years of med school to sit for USMLE, why would anybody drop out of med school to do nursing after 2 years? Very few questions are about treatment rationale, its mostly...
