   AF2BSN replied to MellowYellow0914's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Why are you defensive about others sharing their anecdotal experience when you’re simply an additional n+1? Schools don’t just magically have a DOJ investigation show up at their door. Great to...

2. University of Michigan DNP Fall of 2020

   AF2BSN replied to BW2020's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Don’t fret! Still great odds. Plenty of smart, talented, and driven people were second round admits in my acute care program. I realize none of this will stop the anxiety, but you’re truly in a...

3. University of Michigan DNP Fall of 2020

   AF2BSN replied to BW2020's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I just want to echo that the faculty are phenomenal. Your first semester is probably the hardest, simply because of the transition to grad school and work schedule. Most of the acute care folks work...

4. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

   AF2BSN replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

   How is this different than engineering, physics, applied mathematics (or any STEM) pathway? Course sequencing and concept building exists to solve real world problems. I have to reject the notion that...

   You really flexin’, huh? Yeah! Tell ‘em

7. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

   AF2BSN replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

   But plenty of people are in nursing school not technically taking nursing classes. It’s program specific. Nurses are always trying to rank and order each other. Guess what? Who

8. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

   AF2BSN replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

   Settle down, Francis. We’re policing the term used by undergrads now? My undergrad admitted freshmen and they were nursing students, but still taking pre-reqs. Also, nursing classes weren’t that...

    Did you read the OP, or just read the

11. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    AF2BSN replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Eh, I think that's more a function of level of acuity and recoverability. Most attorneys don't look at NPs as a deep well of funds and liability limits are higher for physicians....

12. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

    AF2BSN replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What? I literally work at a Level 1 trauma center ER where the president of the health system is a male RN who has worked virtually every nursing position at the facility. Furthermore, nursing...

13. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    AF2BSN replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not the students in the article, or in this thread, or the 5000 strong FB group? Or the many others who recognize there is a problem? We wouldn’t have the AMA or physicians pushing back if we had a...

    It would seem there is growing concern.

15. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    AF2BSN replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Cool, except you keep glossing over what a lot of NPs are actually doing: not primary care. I could probably unleash seasoned bedside nurses on a PC population and they could manage 75-85% of the...
