  1. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    prairienp replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i think you may have really helped with the discussion regarding education. in pender's health promotion text the role of the nurse "is to assist clients with health planning rather than control of...

  2. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    prairienp replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  3. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    prairienp replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Please understand I am not a midlevel, I am a healthcare provider. If a HS student can do these things why can't the MD who works in the same clinic? I am not sure if you practice, I can tell you the...

  4. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    prairienp replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Any discussion has validity as long as both sides try and see rationale. I have been practicing for 25+ years in a rural clinic. I can tell you that numerous times every month I out perform the MD in...

  5. new job and first get to know my staff meeting

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

    I agree with most everything you have noted. My only concern is the use of "my" office nurse. Based on the description of your expectations you didn't mean it the way I feared. I always think of this...

  7. Frustrated NP

    prairienp replied to cr8tivNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    agree, find a local np program or your original fnp program and take a course (don't audit), maybe a pharm and a clinical course. many schools will allow you to do a independent study with you writing...

    prairienp replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am now convinced, PICUPNP, wowza and dgenthist are one in the same (?medical student). Not split personality mind you, as he gives himself kudos for his other posts. He also has a dictionary at his...

    prairienp replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    thanks for the benefit of the doubt, but the example was with purpose (versus "on") to show how silly the whole argument is about who is called "dr". i am not sure of what environment you have been...

    prairienp replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    prairienp replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    tell dr. allan greenspan who was on "meet the press" sunday he should have gone to medical school if he wants to be called a dr. how silly, the argument of who is or is not called a dr. is just plain...

  12. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    prairienp replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Good luck with calling RNs lower level, I for one have far too much respect for my roots to think of RNs or nurses as lower level. What do you consider nurse aids or medical assistants, I mean how...

    prairienp replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Sorry, never suggested I was the highest level. I am asking who do you think is in the middle? Never said PAs were beneath NPs. Why do I appear to be in the middle? What am I in the middle of? I place...

    prairienp replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    PICUNP what exactly you do in the middle? in between? What do you call an optometrist? A physical therapist? Who is below you? What services do you provide that are in the

  15. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    prairienp replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    need a reality check, $$$$$$$$$ is by far the number reason. look at the % of students entering medical school who "say" they are planning on going into family practice and compare to the number that...

  16. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There are still those in the nursing community who think we should have stayed with the diploma as the entrance level for the RN. In reality, most schools have started the process of phasing out the...

  19. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  20. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  21. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i believe if you are graduating from a non-accredited bsn to dnp program you remain eligible for certification if the ms fnp program is currently accredited. accrediting also has several meanings,...
