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

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

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

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

    Of all the things to worry bout though who gets to be called doctor probably isn't the biggest battle to pick. If somebody gets a doctoral degree just so they can be called doctor they prob got some...

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

  6. Shockingly low NP pay !

    Spadeforce replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not sure if more shocked that NP make 45k (or can) in GA or the fact that people take those jobs. Do RN not make much more than that there????

  7. Shockingly low NP pay !

    Spadeforce replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. Is this discrimination?

    Spadeforce replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    I am pretty pro immigration but yes, if you come to america you should learn english. Not sure why this offends you? People (with clear records) should be welcome in our country but again if you are...

  9. Is this discrimination?

    Spadeforce replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    you have to have a good reason to be able to say its due to being a minority. Do you live in an area that is mostly white? I feel for you having to deal with people that may not be nice to those who...

  11. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

  12. Journey to CRNA

    Spadeforce replied to ARODtheCRNA2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    make sure you actually know and like what CRNAs do before pursuing nursing with the direct end goal of CRNA. It is always likely that one would end up in bedside nursing perm somewhere along the line....

  14. PAs Do Not Like Us

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

    i was focusing more on the above poster who said posts from SDN aren't always friendly when it comes to NPs. Sorry I should have specified. Essentially some docs have the right to pass the salt when...

  15. Will there be a huge turf war between PA and NP?

    Spadeforce replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    doubt it, once docs get tired of NPs the'll start hiring just PAs, which prob won't be hard since there are tons of PA schools out there and soon to be more applicants than jobs in many areas. docs...

  17. PAs Do Not Like Us

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

    Tends to happen when certain groups claim equivalence when there is not. Not that medicine is a holy angel either but turf battles get fought when other groups tread on false

  18. PAs Do Not Like Us

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

    I was specifically talking about my Home school so yes it is correct. Why do I need data for this shibaowner? also I doubt nps are any more holistic overall than MD or DOs. Most schools have some sort...

  20. PAs Do Not Like Us

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

    Not that med school curriculum is perfect but they do share a lot of the same teachers as we have in the in house PA program at my school. The np school is totally separate. Specialists teach their...

  23. Future of Nurse Practitioners

    Spadeforce replied to Lightning Rose's topic in Advanced Practice

    Felt like I was reading a pseudothesis going through this post lol. Too many fancy words like "integral, caveat, indispensable, etc etc, with no data to back it up. NPs have been established and...

  24. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

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