    irvine123 replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With the abundance of schools that accept students with no prerequisites, board exams that are pretty simple, no wonder MD's and PA's look down on the role. Obviously, those NP's who think being a...

  5. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    irvine123 replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    90 Percent of NP schools do not prepare students. If you have been in at a clinic with other PA's or MD/DO students you would know that most NP's don't know much. It is embarrassing and will lead to...

  6. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    irvine123 replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you missed the bigger picture, in an individualistic society like the US where its all about me me me, in situations like this those new grads will accept anything yet know little and be used...

  7. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    irvine123 replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I took the AANP exam last month and was surprised how simple it was. It was kinda ridiculous that most of the questions were one liners and just asked you to remember facts, very little critical...

  9. Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    irvine123 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Literally surprised by the amount of people who are going to online NP school and don't have any knowledge of simple things like S2 S2. Some schools accept people with no acute care experience. There...

  11. Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    irvine123 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    The main difference is why you should vote for Sanders. Firefighters and Cops are socialized where healthcare isn't. Did you really think corporations would be in the interest of their employees or...

  13. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    irvine123 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A national emergency where other countries with less gdp and budgets were better prepared for and had their staff equipped with supplies. Your a civilian not a soldier under attack from rockets, where...

  14. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    irvine123 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You must be new to nursing. I have seen nurses refuse patients all the time and get assignments switched, that is not neglect. And if safety is at risk you CAN refuse. Dont quote laws or statutes if...

    irvine123 replied to allnurses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "We the people..." oh wait its always been about the corporations, just read about an ER DOC saying I thought we lived in a 1st world country...the media has fooled all of us for a while and made us...

  19. United States University (USU) FNP

    irvine123 replied to Mrskeene3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Off topic but a MSN FNP is more than enough and a DNP is unnecessary...more schooling at that level doesn't compensate for anything you already know as a MSN FNP. Sometimes i think its just nursing in...

  23. Everyone is white?

    irvine123 replied to eacue's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of semantics in this topic, in any case having 1 group of people controlling everything with no input from other groups is not democratic or ethical, and shows that laws aren't being enforced....

  24. United States University (USU) FNP

    irvine123 replied to Mrskeene3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @CANURSE999 thats a bad example, and those doctors who do those things are fined and suspended. If you just want to be a NP and hope you dont kill anyone, than the job isnt for

  25. United States University (USU) FNP

    irvine123 replied to Mrskeene3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The NP sector is saturated in many parts of the US. And the pay is only a small amount more than an actual nurse who works in a critical unit, with any program, you have to find the preceptors....
