  1. ONLINE ASN TO PMHNP PATHWAYS

    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...

    AF2BSN replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You get me! I usually fire off the .gif, but you’re absolutely

    AF2BSN replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    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...

  9. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    AF2BSN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I realize there are many people who find no value in a DNP. I have to say that I’m a little disappointed in my BSN-DNP program, especially in the era of the pandemic. One of the things that shocked...

  10. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

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

    My initial post specifically mentions residency and

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

    Did you read the OP, or just read the

  12. 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....

  13. 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...

  14. 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...

  15. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

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

    It would seem there is growing concern.

  16. 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...

  17. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

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

    Once a physician graduates they're making a salary as a resident (albeit, a smaller one than most new grad nurses these days), as well as fellows. They're not incurring any cost other than their...

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

    AF2BSN replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Welcome to school, as @NurseBlaq stated. Honestly, men get treated better and usually end up rising into leadership faster. Aside from the odd patient who asks "Are you gay?", most patients seem to...

  19. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

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

    There are plenty of physicians who use a holistic approach. Why do nurses think they’re the only ones LOL? It’s not the sole domain of nursing, come on. I realize I’m on allnurses, but...

  20. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

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

    *sigh* Sure, the point was missed but okay. I also never said they couldn’t be competent or knowledgeable. I hope I am one day as an AGAC-DNP... but I’m not delusional about my training and how...

  21. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

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

    There is a lot wrong with this statement. You're not even technically practicing the same thing (medicine vs. advanced nursing). While I think NPs are *absolutely* practicing medicine, the point still...

  22. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

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

    @myoglobin I think you’re debating a specter— I’m not promoting you getting a DNP nor ever said it was a wise decision. My OP stands that a clinical DNP should more closely align with the DO/MD...

  23. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

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

    @myoglobin I don’t know why you would either, except for better training?

  24. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

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

    @adammRN while I appreciate that nursing is a separate discipline than medicine, It’s definitely medicine at the graduate acute care/critical care level. “Advanced nursing assessment” is kabuki...

  25. FNP with hopes of joining AF

    AF2BSN replied to TbFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I was a former AF medic and have had some touchpoints with AF officer accession, so take my insight somewhere between a grain of salt and a salt shaker: 1. Your officer package will include all...
