  1. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    prairienp replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you call the optometrist a midlevel? a podiatrist? I am in the real world, consider me opposed and

  3. 2015 DNP

    prairienp replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Same argument historically used when the diploma nurse transitioned to the BS, when the certified NP transitioned to the BS, big uproar, when we went to the MS in 1992, same song different dance, now...

  4. EVERYONE is going for NP these days

    prairienp replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you really want to teach nursing go for the PhD. When seeking opportunity as a faculty member a PhD will be selected over a DNP almost every time (may be a rare exception). Look at the faculty...

    prairienp replied to Vavavictoria's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. Online NP Programs vs. Traditional Classroom

    prairienp replied to Schuur451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Finding a preceptor is a major issue for both online and traditional programs. Our tax dollars will support any MD resident in the US, regardless if they are from a US school or outside the US....

  7. are all Nurse Practitioner programs going to doctorate?

    prairienp replied to jaredsgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    All DNP FNP programs are expected to have a 1000 hour plus clinical as compared to MS programs which have 500 hours plus hours for FNP. So when 500 hours are added along with additional didactic...

  8. 2015 DNP

    prairienp replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Very True, yet having been around for the transition to the MS in 1992, I have found the transition to the DNP in 2015 happening at significantly faster rate than in 1992. My best guess is that the...

  9. Help us end the collaborative agreement requirement!!

    prairienp replied to buster4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree, if "you" don't feel properly prepared "you" should avoid independent practice. To be clear I have yet to "play" MD, and have no intentions of doing so in the future. Collaborative agreements...

  10. Help us end the collaborative agreement requirement!!

    prairienp replied to buster4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    May I suggest you change we to I, there are many who can and do currently practice independently. Working in a rural clinic I have not "collaborated" with a MD in 2 years, in fact, over the past 2...

  11. These classes are nonsense

    prairienp replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are correct I was thinking DNP, but also have become frustrated with repeated allegations of fluff in NP programs. My point is that accrediation requires specfic essentails regardless of MS or DNP...

  12. These classes are nonsense

    prairienp replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Did something change in course requirements for DNP programs? Is there a suggestion that 1st tier and Ivy league do not offer the same course content? Please provide information as to which of these...

  15. Scary reading doctor forums about NPs...

    prairienp replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for making the point for independent practice! Statements such as the one I placed in bold clarify the need for NPs to seek independent practice as a contributing member of the health care...

  16. working fulltime and school full time

    prairienp replied to wengreen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am thinking you are looking at a FNP program? Yes, it can be done. But is it worth it, no. Short cuts will happen; either at work, school or family, the number of hours in a week does not allow a...

  17. PA's trying to be included in NP act

    prairienp replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wasn't aware PAs could rx Schedule II in all 50 states. Is this recent? Do you have a reference?

  18. Is Mandatory DNP by 2015 a Done Deal?

    prairienp replied to SandBetweenMyToes's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  21. Online classes suck!! What's your experience!!

    prairienp replied to RN_for_life's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    sounds as if you discussed with course instructor, have you also discussed with program director? what did the syllabus require for participation? online works great for the right student, and as you...

  22. Is Mandatory DNP by 2015 a Done Deal?

    prairienp replied to SandBetweenMyToes's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    An ANCC representative at the most recent NONPF conference (2010) made a recommendation that programs plan on having the DNP by 2012 in order to be ready for 2015. She never said they were changing,...

  23. Help me find a good MSN, FNP to DNP, FNP program

    prairienp replied to patrick1rn's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  24. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    prairienp replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Please define "many", what percentage are you saying enter Adv practice with a BA/BS in another field without any nursing experience? Is this one of the reasons for hostile reactions by MDs towards...
