  1. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    caldje replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    David, I think if you were to watch this video. You may understand what I am trying to describe. This is a primary care 'scholars' program. The scholar's part being emphasized because that is why it...

  2. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    caldje replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I diagree a little bit. I think that the 3 year primary care tract will become more common. But, also realize that it isn't that you apply, are accepted, and enter the 3 year tract. You apply and are...

  3. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    caldje replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    David is right. Also, giving NPs more autonomy will not come close to solving the problem. NPs and PAs already have PLENTY of autonomy to function as primary care providers in the vast majority of...

  4. Beng told not to become an NP!

    caldje replied to HudsonValleyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    some people will argue against what I am about to say, and that is ok.. but this is what I have seen. FNPs schooling, in GENERAL, is for care of well family practice patients. The differences I see in...

  7. Why NP and not PA?

    caldje replied to GirloftheSun's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    PAs DO have their OWN license. For the last time.. for goodness sakes. The coignature issue is state and facilty dependent and is really nothing but a doc signing a piece of paper. Not a real...

  11. ER Interview Question

    caldje replied to USA RN's topic in Emergency

    nobody laughs at someone for taking their job, interview for thei job, and their appearance seriously. People DO laugh at people... laugh them right out the door, when they dont take it seriously. You...

  12. Arrogant PA's

    caldje replied to phillyrn10's topic in Emergency

    Its a good point too, that I should have mentioned because it was brought up a couple of times. It would NOT be wrong to question a PAs orders to a supervising MD.. if you have already asked the PA...

  13. HPV Vaccine Restrictions????

    caldje replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

  16. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it all depends on how the NP approaches the situation. NPs certainly are welcomed on the PA forum. But, as you know, there has been a long history of NPs fighting against PAs in much bigger...

    caldje replied to mvanz9999's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  18. Provigil for shift workers

    caldje replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

  19. math/science pre-reqs NP vs PA

    caldje replied to jjjoy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yes.. PA and pre-pa students tend to be very type A. I do disagree though, about how only some schools require a broad science background. I have yet to find a school that doesnt require at least one...

  20. Needlestick from a HIV+ Patient.....I am so upset :(

    caldje replied to RiaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure you are going through a lot, and I feel for you. You're chances of getting HIV are still low, though, around a 0.3% chances for a percutaneous exsposure through a glove. Also, the fact that...

  21. math/science pre-reqs NP vs PA

  22. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    caldje replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    caldje replied to jjjoy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  24. Advice from acute/critical care NP's

    caldje replied to CAPRN77's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    a lot of states dont require chart review for PAs and the ones that do usually only require a small ammount of charts reviewed.. just like some states require chart review for NPs. Also, in all 50...
