    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What is the "huge gulf" , my understanding is that all FNP faculty(academia) are required to maintain a practice (real

  2. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    the generic dnp is increasing the clinical hours from the current minimum of 500 to 1000. in addition, most of the programs are adding content in genetics, leadership, and organizational behavior. i...

  3. Anyone NOT have enough exp before NP school?

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

    please don't discourage pa or any other from participating in this forum. takeback was asking questions, although i suspect takeback already knows the answers to the questions posted. over the past...

  4. Where did you get your license, KMart

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

    several points. if you have asthma why did the md add advair, if you had symptoms why didn't you receive a neb. tx in the office? if you have asthma and have been sick for over a month, and in past...

  5. salary

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

    What type of patients will you be expected to see? All PE or all walk-in a combination? How many other providers are there? Any call? Cont Ed? Vacation?

  6. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    i have participated in the admission process several times. letters of recommendations and essays are almost worthless in selecting the applicant. the only time they are of any value is if the...

  7. Business skill important to NPs?

    prairienp replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agreed, they should not be the same as patho/pharm. I think they should be more of a challange! Those non-nursing classes are often out of our comfort zone. We entered the FNP role secondary to...

  8. NP age??

    prairienp replied to kayakin08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    age 52 and have been practicing since 1987 as

  9. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    there are dnp fnps receiving a higher salary than msn fnps. i know of at least 3 instances where having the dnp resulted in a higher pay scale as compared to the masters prepared fnp. this is the...

  10. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    She should stay far away from NP school, I don't see the NP role ever meeting her desired intent of scope of practice. If she is frustrated now, I can see a lot more frustration with the time spent to...

  11. DNP's taking certification exam similar to USMLE by 2012?

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

    i agree the np community is not embracing mundinger's bandwagon, but they are embracing the dnp. look at all the programs that have or will transition to the dnp program of study. the transition to...

  12. DNP's taking certification exam similar to USMLE by 2012?

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

    i was not aware this was a "licensing" exam. in reality the exam appears to have been created/designed for the dnps from a specific program coordinated by mundinger. many nurses forget that the dnp is...

  13. DNP's taking certification exam similar to USMLE by 2012?

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

    i think the results are exactly what many of us anticipated. the test is not worthwhile and has no meaning to practicing dnps. the test has nothing to do with if they can practice. the test will most...

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

    yes, she is the

  15. campus-based BSN-DNP programs

    prairienp replied to anny08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would strongly suggest you seek a campus based program where you do not opt out after two years and take FNP exam. That model is not the one favored by NONPF, the preference is for the completion of...

  16. campus-based BSN-DNP programs

    prairienp replied to anny08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yes, there are no currently accredited dnp programs. dnp programs also need accreditation from the board of nursing, the state and the region. the ancc certification np eligibility does not require a...

  17. DNP's failing the test????

    prairienp replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I would suggest they should be treated equally with funding. If our tax dollars are used to fund medcial residency, our tax dollars should also be used to fund NP education. Or neither should be...

  18. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i was part of the dnp planning and part of the execution. the planning was started in the late 90s, debated between various np organizations for years. where is dave saying "poorly" planned? he is...

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    tell us more on how the aapa and "most" practicing pas disagree with the assessment. i have read the pa forum and sdn and those pas would "mostly" agree with your premise. does the pa profession have...

  20. 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 tell us what dnp program has a year of nursing theory, in fact, most dnp programs have 1-2 courses (3-6 credits) in nursing theory out of 80-90 in the program of study. do you think it is...

  21. DNP's failing the test????

    prairienp replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    agree, we should allow any and all to post on this nursing board. we set a good example for the pa board, which historically is quite intolerant of np posts, especially those not in step with pas....

  22. 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 will take a look, i used the article in the mid 90s when writing a theory paper on intuition. in fact, i think he and others wrote a series of articles comparing assessment of several diseases. i...

  23. 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 am confused (again), your profile has you in nursing education. to be honest, your post sounds more like a pa or md versus a nurse. are you suggesting "chat" is only worthwhile when done by a md?...

  24. DNP's failing the test????

    prairienp replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Please tell me I am wrong, but from what I understand there is a 95% (or close to this) passing rate on the

    there is a study by everrt (a md)i believe, it has been awhile since i read the article, that evaluated md vs np assessment and treatment of insomnia ( i know simple). yet the results are clear. mds...
