    Spadeforce replied to JBMmom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Spadeforce replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in General Students

    if school focuses too much on test part just get with friends and watch either youtube or skills videos that probably come with one of your text books and practice on each other school prob focuses...

  6. So disappointed with on-line program

    Spadeforce replied to JBMmom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree, med school has some of its own problems and variability but people always try to use the excuse "Oh i know some great NPs I would trust over any doctor." when trying to validate that NP=MD....

  7. Revenue streams? Psych np?

    Spadeforce replied to ncaru01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. So disappointed with on-line program

    Spadeforce replied to JBMmom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Spadeforce replied to nurselove757's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    it is the news and we know the quality of most news nowadays

  11. Nurse salaries are stagnant or decreasing, we already knew NPs were taking a decrease

    Spadeforce replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think part of the reason why NP is going up is since more specialists are hiring them and they usually pay more. Also, one can't use the data from aanc or aanp, they would never state that their...

  12. Nurse salaries are stagnant or decreasing, we already knew NPs were taking a decrease

    Spadeforce replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    goes in line with the HHS predictions of too many NPs/RNs by 2025. everybody caught the wave to go to nursing school. the economy is doing relatively well right now and there are STILL too many...

  13. Working in Rural Primary Care and Love It!

    Spadeforce replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    no doubt I plan on moving to some town deemed undesirable after done with residency to do ER work. Many small shops pay 300+ an hour in really "icky" places with the norm being low to mid 200s for...

  14. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Spadeforce replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just responded to this in the other AMA post. It seems tech is pretty broad as is healthcare but do you think there are any tech jobs where one is pretty safe from all of the above if they are...

  15. From medical staff to nursing

    Spadeforce replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I won't argue that for low risk births one probably does not need a full on OBGYN present at every birth and that outcomes would be similar. I can't answer why more procedures were performed, maybe...

  16. PAs Do Not Like Us

    Spadeforce replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am assuming your hospital only hires from the top notch schools and is rather selective, as this does not seem to be the

  17. PAs Do Not Like Us

    Spadeforce replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They would have to change curriculum to mirror md or do in length, content, and

  18. I used to work in high tech - ask me anything!

    Spadeforce replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the interesting post. hopefully the mods won't move it to the some closet were it won't get any response since its not directly about APNs. But anyway I will bite To the 18 something year...

  19. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    Spadeforce replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Where is your evidence for all around equivalency? Cause at this point i just see an RN who has never prescribed meds or diagnosed anything touting nursing is better. Are you one of those nurses who...

  20. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    Spadeforce replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  21. From medical staff to nursing

    Spadeforce replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    seems as the midwifes had a healthier group of patients with less fetal death prior to 24 weeks and less preterm birth since both of those factors are more related to genetics and how the mother cares...

  22. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    Spadeforce replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not sure on the anesthesia side but when it comes to nP vs MD education the MD classroom and clinical is far far far superior. Being a good MCQ will get you through both MD and NP school. It is not a...

  23. From medical staff to nursing

    Spadeforce replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    to jules- how did they restrict their practice? did they knock them down to H and P and discharge summary mules? or can they still see patients and provide management? or somewhere in between (as in...

  24. From medical staff to nursing

    Spadeforce replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How does the hospital think this will help? Not a rhetorical question, legitimately wondering... I think if I was a doc in practice, I would want direct monitoring of the NPs IF i was worried about...
