    Going to L&D

    IrishIzCPNP replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Any nurse could work L&D...just need to get hired there. The orientation for L&D is usually a longer one...lots to learn. I'm not sure what you mean by working OR and bedside in L&D....

    cheap FNP program with no required GPA

    IrishIzCPNP replied to anje's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You don't get a low gpa due to low number of credits. If you didn't do well in any number of classes that's how you get a low

    Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Tibbymc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Right now the OCI isn't at the regular campus. It is at the center city campus this year. There are a few hotels nearby...some with not so good reviews, at least one pricey one but some reasonable...

    views on overweight nurses

    IrishIzCPNP replied to msmit108's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll also add you should think about the type of floor you work on when you graduate. Can you climb up on a bed to do suprapubic pressure? If no...don't go to L&D. Will you be able to provide...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    My story was to show to show a case where the md was completely wrong. The reality is studies favor NPs and that's a great thing. More education isn't a bad thing...but there are times it isn't...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I am serious. We only see them as the "gold standard" because that's all that has existed for a long time. That doesn't mean that their level of education is what is truly needed. More education is...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    At what point did I ask you to tell me about he education of MDs and NPs? I know the education. I asked where you saw an NP program with 400 clinical hours. Just because doctors are over-educated...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    A. Please show me a program with 400 clinical hours. B. What does hat difference mean? Well part of it is that doctors waste a lot of time doing stuff that has nothing to do with their practice....

    IrishIzCPNP replied to mcerv's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You may find an IBCLC in your area willing to precept...may. The educator role isn't working with moms and babies. That is really going to be teaching breastfeeding classes. The CLC...please don't...

    Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Tibbymc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is no need to go to campus prior to clinicals. You will have your OCI during your clinical quarters and these range from 2-3 days in length. Here's the deal...Drexel has more than one campus...

    When I started at Drexel there was some massive orientation. I went to it. Honestly...if it is the same thing it wasn't that great. There were so many people and most seemed to be on campus...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    PAs can do a lot of moving around because that whooping 2 years they spend in school is a little bit of everything. NPs can't do a lot of moving around. There are some moves that can happen...not...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Hold up there! NPs can't change their mind regularly and change up what they are doing. I will be allowed to treat patients who are under 21. That's it. I can't do psych...even on peds patients....

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    It was suggested we compare PA curriculum to the NP curriculum. So I did. I actually compared the PA and NP curriculums at the school I am attending for my NP. I'm honestly not impressed by the PA...
