    BostonFNP replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need years of studies. I think you can probably admit that of all the heart attacks that occur over 5 years only a very small number would be times where a heart attack occurred at the same...

    I hate to be so picky, but again, I am compelled to reiterate that there was no "destruction of data". The data was just omitted and later used in a paper by Hooker and Thompson which was retracted...

    I already posted that I am interested in seeing the film, guess you missed it. Oh good, so until you see the film and make a judgement you are open to all vaccines. That's good to know. Post again...

    I am not sure if you are just parroting back what you have read in blogs or if you are actively sensationalizing the extant information, but either way, it's clear that you don't really understand...

    BostonFNP replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    One doesn't need to "see the film" to consider the damage it can cause as we are all well aware of the pseudoscientists' desire for "proof" that supports their claim, and that is exactly how the movie...

    One day of clinic and I am 10 pages behind. I considered going back and responding to each piece of blatantly false information that has been posted but it seems everyone has done a great job at that...

    BostonFNP replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    For me, the movie is a symptom of the expanding culture of pseudoscience. It is very difficult to combat in the medical field. Pseudoscience is a process where supporting evidence is generated from...

    BostonFNP replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious to see the film, I think it will probably be (for lack of a better word) "entertaining" in the same model as "Making a Murderer" and "Serial" have been for many people recently. I am sure...

    As others have said, sorry for the stress, but you do not have to worry about the non-compete clause. Truth be told even if you had worked there it is a very difficult thing to try and

    Shadowing/observing a NP before applying to NP school

    BostonFNP replied to vitiana's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can and absolutely should shadow before thinking about NP school! There are lots of NPs in MA that will let you shadow. Do you know any from your LPN work? I have had several LPN/RNs that work in...

    Hopefully they have an orientation program from you to start on, at the very l;east start shadowing the current providers. Have they hired new-grad NPs before? If so they should be familiar with this....

    Question from a doc on NP education

    BostonFNP replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am willing to wager that less than 5% of PAs have completed a formal residency/fellowship program. The study you cited is a very small study, and to my read has a flawed design, but I am willing...
