    Acute Care NP vs FNP--advice, experiences?

    BostonFNP replied to soyoureanurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It sounds like your only interest lies in acute care so it's a pretty obvious choice for you (ACNP). The only place where a FNP might be benefit for you would be in ED position. Before you invest,...

    Cna license revoked?

    BostonFNP replied to Wendolis's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    In MA CNAs do not have a license. There is a certification and I would think you'd be very unlikely to lose

    going straight into becoming an NP after BSN?

    BostonFNP replied to schallerjasmine's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My opinion, in short, is: 1. Know yourself. You will know if you need more experience or not. 2. Don't try and mix it. Your first year as an RN is incredibly important and lays the foundation for...

    Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    BostonFNP replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's great that you have done your research, have the contacts, and have secured good preceptors you have known. That being said, in this situation, you potentially miss out on an important...

    I'm not sure why it matters, in fact I think it is a strength of the study. I think people read the study and say "we need BSN entry" but really what I think it means is that nurses that are lifetime...

    It's a study that you don't believe not a lie. A study published and vetted by one of the most respected peer-reviewed publications in the world. If you don't like the methods, get involved in...

    What bonuses? Cite your sources. The for-profit schools making all the "money" are often associate programs, so there should be plenty of cash available. Please, cite the "four year schools" that...

    Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

    BostonFNP replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Nursing News

    How long have you been a ED physician? That's the problem with trying to judge medical negligence by "standard of care": it doesn't matter what you know, or I know, or even what the attending...

    Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

    BostonFNP replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Nursing News

    Sure we can have a lawyer at the bedside and everyone can get full-body CT scans for every complaint, I mean why not, already 30-50% of CT scans performed are medically unnecessary and use has risen...

    Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

    BostonFNP replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Nursing News

    I just read through some of the details, out of curiosity, and there seem to be many errors, and all seem (to me) to stem from pigeon-holing the diagnosis, and later snowball into a major mistake. I...
