Are we talking about medicine or nursing...two different professions? ...and there is lies many of the problems. The other part of the problem is not knowing the differences between holistic nursing practice and integrative nursing practice. There's...

...and the only reason that APRN are deemed advanced practice is that advanced status is measured on medical practice--not nursing practice--so saying that someone is not advancing their nursing practice is not accurate. What they are doing is learni...

The hospital where I work "solved" the interruptions by giving all the nurses a in hospital phone to hang on their scrubs so no matter where you were if the phone rang you were expected to answer it. If you were in the room with a patient in the mids...

My point of contention is that when the Consensus Model was approved they knowingly disenfranchised nurse

I agree that there is an overlap of medicine and nursing. There must be an overlap if the two professions are to collaborate effectively with each other for the benefit of the patient. My point of contention is that when the Consensus Model was appr...

Neuro Guy NP, DNP, PhD, APRN thank you for your comments. I'd be happy to engage if you would like. What are your points of contention? I recognized that what I said would ruffle some feathers of some people on this board. Advanced practice is ba...

I believe what the senator said is that it would be a financial problem for the hospitals. But that was also debunked by an article elsewhere that the critical access hospitals in WA were doing very well financially. I don't understand why 1) we wou...

Anyone wanting information on how to complete a degree that is focused in Holistic Nursing including the APHN (Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse) or if you are already an APRN and want to practice as and APHN follow up with the AHNCC.org to find the s...

Or better yet, become a Nurse Coach(r). Nurses can take the Nurse Coach exam administered by the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation and become a Nurse Coach. Have a look at AHNCC.org to learn the criteria that you need to follow to q...

A large part of this problem is that is it difficult for nurses to define their practice. We keep allowing people that have NO idea what nursing is to define who and what we are and are not. The Senator was only restating what she has heard or what...

Trauma RU and other's Something you all may not know is that the APRN role came about through manipulation. Those that chose not to practice medicine have been disenfranchized. RNs in at least some states are synonymous the role of an LPN. They ca...

Yes, I understand that CNS have medical and nursing education. If I am understanding you properly...my point was that CNS have only recently been re-included in the APRN role. FL only approved the CNS role in 2017 or 2018. I served on the committee ...

I would not chose that NIWH program eventhough AHNA endorses it. I have tried to talk to those people several times based on their ads--No just NO. I have friends who have gone to it and their education--well education is never a waste, but do you re...

If it would be of any help. When the Consensus Model was ratified it was done knowing that many nurses were being disenfranchized and they literally did not care. The people that did not support the role as those who voted in the NP were disinvited....

What does an ICU RN make? That sounds like a low ball estimate but it may not be for Nebraska b/c the salaries are lower there. $100K maybe if you have lots experience. The only $100K ball park are for a nurse anesthesist--ball park. The publication...

That's an average salary. Have you looked at any of the salary publications? They are way askew--way off--way way off. I have a friend works anesthesia has 15 years or more experience and makes no where near what the survey's say a nurse makes in his...

NPs are measured as advanced practice based on their medical education and ability to perscribe and provide medical diagnosis. The practice is biomedical not nursing. I'm not saying there's no place for this level of practitioner, The ANA has been...

I've never heard of Healing Hands...Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, Eden Energy Medicine, Acupressure through Soul Lightening...all programs that have nursing approval. There is a program called M-Technique that is beautiful work. Reiki. These are ...

If the guy is a sales rep he more than likely does not have a proper EO education. I've spent thousands of dollars on and with some of the best international eductors in EO. Can I practice safely absolutely. A tremendous amount of harm can come fro...

Nutrition is a hard one because of the way AND has run from state to state making laws airtight. They tried in FL but we have a pretty aware state nursing association. Again you have to know your practice act. I focus my practice on nutrition as the ...

essential oils are not something to dabble in. One can do a lot of harm unless they are trained properly and I personally do not use any of the multilevel marketing schemes. Their purpose is to sell oil. It's like anything else certificates are certi...

Are you aware that you can become a nurse coach? American Holistic Nurse Credentialing Corporation offers that exam. You are correct in that coaching is part of nursing practice. I'm not sure why there is so much confusion about that. Nurse Coach is ...

My concern would be to first become certified in holistic nursing. Then consider modalities (DHA). Holistic Nursing has a scope and standards of practice and a Position Statement that supports one's use of modalities and guides one's practice in that...

You are not alone, there are many people out there suffering from emotional exhaustion. It is common in nursing in all specialties.
