    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, being an MD/DO or PA (and I laugh) has nothing to do with it. I'm sorry for your ignorance. It's a shame it doesn't seem like something we can fix. In the meantime...19 states have...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    So all studies showing NPs in a positive light is nonsense? Interesting. I wouldn't see a PA...time and time again found them to be idiots. So I guess I can say I won't feel comfortable with a PA...

    Drexel PC PNP 2014

    IrishIzCPNP replied to cab683's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When it comes to clinical based classes they are pretty specific as to your preceptor. You have to use a board certified PNP in primary care. You can't use an FNP. You can use a pediatrician one...

    Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Tibbymc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am doing the curriculum as it is laid out for my track (tracks are pretty much identical) plus taking an extra 3 credit class for 3 quarters to ensure financial aid...you need 4.5 credits for aid....

    Her idea of covert measures could be a simple blanket. It isn't hard to pump without exposing

    Breast pumping in an ICU

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Stacyalexisk's topic in MICU, SICU

    She may not feel she needs privacy. And you may not like public pumping but it isn't your world. I don't like fake nipples but there's no shortage of bottles out there. And comparing breasts to a...

    Breast pumping in an ICU

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Stacyalexisk's topic in MICU, SICU

    Yes, I would pump my breast wherever I was if it was time. It is no different than feeding a hungry child as pumping may be what is needed to provide that child with the food they

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Tibbymc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And yes the curriculum plan is rough! You are going to need some flexibility with your work schedule when you hit your track specific pharm class. You will need a lot of flexibility once you hit...

    Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Tibbymc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know that the FNP program has a lot of students. Drexel also increased faculty for the FNP because of the increased number of students. I also know that those who were in one track and wanted to...

    Breast pumping in an ICU

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Stacyalexisk's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think we need to stop acting like she wants to do some vile act. The fact is many states protect a woman's right to breastfeed anywhere she is otherwise allowed to be...pumping isn't any different....

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Stacyalexisk's topic in MICU, SICU

    Nothing is going to get into the pumped milk...just not an issue. My goodness women pump everywhere. Heck we breastfeed everywhere. How many times have you heard of a woman pumping or feeding in a...

    Breast pumping in an ICU

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Stacyalexisk's topic in MICU, SICU

    I'm not sure what you found funny. I wouldn't have even asked. I would have pulled out my pump and pumped. There are many reasons pump sessions can't be missed. So she may have truly had a very...

    The enrollment fee is going to be an issue pretty much anywhere. What bridge course did they want you to take? I don't know anyone who had to take a bridge

    IrishIzCPNP replied to cab683's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The classes that are part of the certificate really are electives. It started with being told "here's a list of electives" for that quarter where it says "elective"....and when I needed 3 more I took...

    Lawsuit over grade changes?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Jackson12's topic in General Students

    You had an "initial contract" that spelled out a time frame? Probably not. I bet there's something about how they may make changed as necessary. Your best bet....grow up, move on and accept the...

    Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    You aren't helping the "argument" when you say you are "on top of it in six months than the nurses". Um....you aren't a nurse and doing a completely different job. You can't compare how well you do...
