    Brave or just stupid?

    BostonFNP replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But you aren't a non-NP RN. You have (I assume) based your opinion on practical experience. I can't speak for everyone, but the few K a year I get from teaching doesn't buy my loyalty, especially...

    Yes they did a three arm double blind RCT on RN-NP intraprofessional dynamics and socialization. It was done by 100,000 nurses taking basic research methods. You haven't read it? All one has to do is...

    Brave or just stupid?

    BostonFNP replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree on some things and I don't agree on some things. I agree there are 1. poor quality programs and 2. that there are too many graduates for the system to support, which in turn and often via...

    BostonFNP replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Where have you run into this in your experience/personally? Is the solution to a breakdown and lack of consistency in graduate education to require more RN experience? That implies that RN...

    ABSN or MSN CNL to be an Nurse Practitioner??

    BostonFNP replied to charisma00's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You need to start with the basics: how to get from where you are to where you want to be, which is some type of NP. Neither of the options you gave us get you to be an NP. We really need to know...
