  13. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    fuegorama replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Caldje- Thank you for your thoughts. You have brought up a practice model that simply cannot be possible. What you propose is a design in which an already fractured system becomes even more...

  14. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    fuegorama replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    We each have our opinions on CNA (my abbreviation). This is one place where we will just disagree. This beautifully illustrates the trickle down aspect of medical education. Research and best...

  18. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    fuegorama replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm not the prettiest ham around, but I think this may be directed at me. I did not come to the boards to be "divisive". I post here in an attempt to give what I believe is a fairly unique...

  19. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    fuegorama replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  23. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    fuegorama replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What do you mean by "more powerful". What else do you require? Nurses essentially run healthcare in this country. They are by far the most powerful lobbying group with members heavily invested in the...

  24. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    fuegorama replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yeah you're right. I won't paraphrase. I'll just quote. "The first ND program was established as an entry-level practice doctorate analogous to the MD and did not provide specialty preparation." Out...
