  1. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's an interesting take; I always looked at it as a hybrid of the two but a solid medicine argument can be made. However, I think the design of NPs are to supplement MDs not replace them. So, the...

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They can in the military. I believe the civilian world will get there soon enough; the first steps have already started with states expanding NP's scope of practice and allowing them to practice...

  3. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    All critical thinking is the ability to solve a problem that is in front of you and that can be done with or without training or instruction -essentially its just figuring things out. Some people have...

  4. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree to an extent, however, the more difficult the task does not automatically mean the greater the achievement and hard sciences do not have a place in the day-to-day patient care of nursing....

  5. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree to certain extent. critical thinking is taking all of the available information and drawing a logical conclusion -even its by trial and error. For example, when you learned how to ride a bike...

  6. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    hmmm possibly but that's what fact sheets are for. having an intimate understanding of how medications work on the molecular level would go over the patient's head number 1 and number 2 how many...

  7. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    hmmm I always thought of that as a fool's errand. On paper that sounds good but in practice not so much. Hard sciences or school in general don't give or teach critical skills. . .experience does. If...

  8. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My intent was not prove anything. I asked questions that were never answered. I don't have to provide obscure references; let's go scenario instead. You have a 10 year, bedside med/surg nurse going...

  9. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That may be true. But my argument is and has always been, why do programs feel the need to weed people out? I work at a teaching hospital and I've heard block 4 students say 'this isn't for me' to...

  10. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a big believer in tests -I know that may be an unpopular opinion. but with new patients especially, if they don't haven't tests/labs (or recent ones at least), the need to establish a baseline...

  11. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    hmmm I don't know; I think that's what hyperspecialization has done. everybody only worries about their corner of the universe I.e. urologist only worry about the urinary system, pulmonologist only...

  12. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You could absolutely say the same thing for doctors. Nopes don't need Chemistry whatsoever and use a flow sheet; guarantee it would not put a single patient in danger or adversely impact patient care...

  13. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with a lot of that. Historically, NPs were only as good as their mentors (usually MDs but there are NPs in that pool as well) but now with expanding NP prescription rights and responsibilities...

  14. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Quite easily I might add. Chemistry is the granular detail of ions, molecules, atoms and converting joules to moles as such whereas Pharmacology is how drugs interfere with the way neurons send,...

  15. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's my point. Taking a bunch of 'hard sciences' doesn't make someone a better practitioner and I don't know any APRN that just hands out pills, if that's a thing, then I want in

  16. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    nitenurse replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe. but you don't use any of the 'hard sciences' when diagnosing and treating. Occasionally you will see something that you will have to look up, but if a patient presents with chest pain, you're...

  17. A Deep Dive into NCLEX Next Generation 2023

    nitenurse replied to Payton RN Writer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Critical thinking is not part of nursing education/training? Again, no. That was in my initial point. If it was part of nursing curriculum, then it would demonstrated in some form or fashion would it...

  18. Fired From First NP Job: Struggling Emotionally

    nitenurse replied to CH_NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    o.k I am a bit unclear as to your current employment status; are you working as an RN now? If so, then ask one of the providers if they don't mind having a shadow on (insert day off here) for 2 or 4...

  19. Fired From First NP Job: Struggling Emotionally

    nitenurse replied to CH_NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It sounds like this particular practice was not a good fit for your style or personality maybe. Without knowing more, perhaps they wanted you to hit the ground running in a way and the lack of...

  20. A Deep Dive into NCLEX Next Generation 2023

    nitenurse replied to Payton RN Writer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I said the very same thing of what feels like to be a millennia ago, however, when someone seems hellbent on trying to prove a nonsensical point, I happily oblige to point out their faulty logic. Now,...

    nitenurse replied to Payton RN Writer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    be·lieve /bəˈlēv/ 1. accept (something) as true; feel sure of the truth of. "the superintendent believed Lancaster's story" 2. hold (something) as an opinion; think...

  22. A Deep Dive into NCLEX Next Generation 2023

    nitenurse replied to Payton RN Writer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A belief with out any actual facts or occurrences to back it up. Many believed the world was flat prior to 1492. . so, you appear to be stating the accepted definition of belief that I have...

  23. A Deep Dive into NCLEX Next Generation 2023

    nitenurse replied to Payton RN Writer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    be·lief /bəˈlēf/ noun 1. an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. "his belief in the value of hard work" 2. trust, faith, or confidence...

  24. A Deep Dive into NCLEX Next Generation 2023

    nitenurse replied to Payton RN Writer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you read response prior to that, you stated that my beliefs were involved and I responded to your post stating that they were not involved which is why I stated I wasn't sure how you arrived at...

    nitenurse replied to Payton RN Writer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    well. .. since I did not use the word 'beliefs' in my initial post, so I am not sure as to what you may be referencing in this
