  2. Gave up DNP

    Spadeforce replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    essentially three more semesters of writing papers and doing a capstone over some pointless topic nobody would ever care about for no increase in pay and some sort of "clinical but not really" ordeal....

  4. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Feds shouldn't be involved in it as long as they aren't passing dope which should show up on state narc reports. It's not their business if government isn't footing the bill (private self pay) and...

  5. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Yeah one also has to assume people are willing to pay 100 to see a NP instead of a doctor. a lot of docs set up those practices since they are one of the only fm or im docs around without a 5 month...

  6. CCNE Releases New Standards

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

    TLDR version- higher education is a scam and most schools don't deserve the non profit or not for profit status they maintain. Nail taxpayers once with Big loans then again when they evade a bunch of...

  7. CCNE Releases New Standards

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

    Nice about time. Hopefully it does follow through. Do we have a source of this. Almost shocked that np accreditation would actuallly so this after letting students flounder for so

  8. Chemistry - how much is used in school?

    Spadeforce replied to stormii's topic in General Students

    General Chemistry has never come in direct use for nursing school, or medical school for me. But it's good rain floss so study up! it shares terms with things in the medical word and everybody should...

  9. CCNE Releases New Standards

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

    The simple fact that we are discussing and unable to agree on their meaning is what they want. Students fleetingly looking at the requirement may think it's good news. But if it were a true win, it...

  10. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Spadeforce replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I should have said "at least all med schools require effort" I'm sure some np schools do but what the outside world sees is equivalent to the weakest

  11. So TIRED OF IT

    Spadeforce replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    You must work at a sucky hospital. I've never had to deal with that. We just called the cops and management backed us up. Try changing jobs first

  12. Volunteering as a TA?

    Spadeforce replied to ADN2DNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Adjunct clinical faculty are needed pretty much

  13. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Spadeforce replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Walden lol. I doubt I'd ever hire anybody from there. Probably some good people graduate from there but back when I was working as an np three years ago everybody was in Walden part time complaining...

  14. Can FNP's work in the O.R.?

    Spadeforce replied to AbbyLane's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah but most places use PAs since they have a surgery class and rotation in

  15. Are any of you CRNAs concerned about the potential for automated Anesthesia?

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

    Not for a while but sometime in the future yeah. Not likely for any of us to worry about yet though. I mean have you seen the computer try to interpret an ekg

  16. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

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

    Everybody thinks they are brilliant. Unpopular opinion, most people in nursing and medicine are not brilliant. Bring the

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

    Tell her when she gets a medical license she can tell you what to

  18. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Spadeforce replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Even in med school we have to drive a distance to some of our rotations, but I think my furthest is 45 mins. The schools should help keep students close but yeah some driving is going to be...

  19. Gave up DNP

    Spadeforce replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    pondered getting a DNP, but decided med school was a better choice. I mean yeah it takes longer and much more hours but at least the curriculum was useful and adds much more income/knowledge/ability...

  20. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    agree with the above, there will always be jobs in computers. Especially for the best programmers and firewall builders. Doing that stuff probably has a higher skill cap than most of whats done in...

  21. NP Salary

    Spadeforce replied to nbtw's topic in Advanced Practice

    usually people just get tired of RN work and take the way they think will be easiest and white coatiest. 2 year online program to get an RX pad??? sounds great when you come from passing meds and...

  22. Do FNP's really make 80k to 90k a year?

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

    the southeast is terrible for nurses, great for docs tho. Literally had to move out of state for my first NP job a few years ago, unless i wanted to make like 65k a year or something sad like

  23. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    There are much better careers than nurse practitionering out there. I got in while it was good and left to go back to med school. Almost done and would never go back. the same places where NPs are...

  24. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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