  1. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I was basing my information on the movement towards the doctorate from reading the PA forum. At first many were against, until a couple thought it could be done on line post PA school and that would...

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  4. DNP Article

    prairienp posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Dr. Mary O' Neil Mundinger has an article in Forbes. You should read and be ready for discussion with your MD friends. On one hand the DNP discussion will really take off, on the other is this what we...

  6. Doctors blackballing NPs/DNPs

    prairienp replied to mslinzyann's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    As usual David has a good perspective on SDN. The most recent thread on SDN started by "mr malignant" actually has some good and positive responses about NPs. Don't get me wrong, the majority are...

  8. PA's make more $$ than NP's?!

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

    You need to help me with this thought. Your program loves to accept nurses yet every one has flunked out? What does your program love about

  9. DNP Article

    prairienp replied to prairienp's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    We all need to remember this is one voice from the ivory tower. She represents a DrNP not the DNP degree. The vast majority of DNP program directors are not saying what Dr. Mundinger is saying. Cool...

  10. Can you work full time while attending NP school?

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

    i don't think the question is "if" you can work full time and complete your np degree. many have and more will. a better question is "why", i know the $$$ are important. the education is more...

  11. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i i can't verify, but i suspect the vast majority of nps have had at least one chem course. i am sure most of the np would not consider their research courses "snoozer" classes. my own experience...

  12. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  14. Who thinks this school is jumping the gun on the DNP?

    prairienp replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i am basing these thoughts on discussions with fnps in practice and at conferences. i lot of interest has been expressed by practicing fnps to return for the dnp. nonpf appears to be focused on the...

  15. Who thinks this school is jumping the gun on the DNP?

    prairienp replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i agree that the dnp will be the entry level for the fnp, maybe the anp, pnp, gnp. less likely for the nnp. the midwife and crna are all over the place, things will settle for those two after a year...

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

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

    I would add MDs to the mix. Generally, if a NP, PA or MD isn't getting along with the other providers they don't really get along with a whole of lot of other

  17. How many APNs in school for DNP???

    prairienp replied to traumaRUs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    These are not the facts. "most of the classes for a DNP have nothing to do with what a nurse practitioner does " , the additional classes usually are focused on clinical application, which will have...

  18. Confused about Rapid Strep vs. Throat Culture

    prairienp replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Guidelines are great and should be followed. Too bad so many continue to treat because they "think" the patient should be treated. I did the same thing for years, the smell, the look, none of these...

  22. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    prairienp replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i would have to agree part of the "push" is esteem which i feel is a good thing. i find the high number of credits required for a ms is not representative of the education, adding a few classes for...

  23. Why not have done PA???

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