  1. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    psychonaut replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    On a somewhat-related note, I just discovered that the Pearson Report is no longer free.

  2. NP\ Nursing Educator career

    psychonaut replied to tidealum10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Several professors I work with have gotten their MSN/NP, taught clinical courses until an opening came up for a lecturer position, and got the PhD on-line while teaching and working in clinical...

  3. 2015 DNP

    psychonaut replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I would pursue a DPT or PharmD before I would go on for a DNP as the degree is currently designed. Heck, I'd be tempted to put the time and $$$ into pursuing a DVM. I'm actually now in the position to...

  4. These classes are nonsense

    psychonaut replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I lost half credit for a recent assignment involving reflecting on my first week in clinical rotations, and "how I would use nursing theory when I am a FNP." My answer apparently did not adequately...

  5. Scary reading doctor forums about NPs...

    psychonaut replied to thenewguy8's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    psychonaut replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm the first one to groan when this subject comes up, but I really don't want this thread closed. We have two devout partisans who are wed to their positions, and can express themselves eloquently. I...

  7. What's eating me-theories and professionalism

    psychonaut replied to pedsrnjc's topic in General Nursing

    They are meant to provide a justification for the nursing PhD. The PhD is required to contribute to their field of knowledge, a field of knowledge requires theoretical underpinnings, thus you have the...

  8. The latest good news for all of us

    psychonaut replied to t2krookie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How long until the entire NP forum is just a long list of locked topics? Or maybe 90% locked, 10% "Should I do ANP or

  9. Can I lose my license for being nude on internet?

    psychonaut replied to climbs's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Fine, I'll be the first to say it... We need to review the evidence before we can give you a definitive answer to your query. Thank

  10. Any of you wear clothes under your scrubs?

    psychonaut replied to ImThatGuy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    They're *under* the scrub top, duh. ...and yes, yes I do, but just the minimum

  11. Any of you wear clothes under your scrubs?

    psychonaut replied to ImThatGuy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    t-shirt, scrub bottoms with lots of pockets, and my secret

  12. First code

    psychonaut replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Welcome to the family! It's quite a sight, isn't it, to watch the experienced nurses, MDs, and RRTs getting right to it in that calm, focused manner. Definitely decompress as needed. Here, where you...

  13. A worn out topic

    psychonaut replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Every time I read one of these threads, I reflect on how lucky I am in choosing the environment that I did straight out of nursing school. The very, very worst thing I have ever gotten from a doc is a...

  14. Interracial marriage and physiology..this is for a paper

    psychonaut replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an interracial marriage, and while I can't speak to the physiology, I can state that the anatomy portions match up just

  15. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    psychonaut replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    they see me rollin they hatin, patrollin tryin to catch me ridin

  16. MD, DO, NP, DC, OD -- Who deserves the title Physician?

    psychonaut replied to RMARTINNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The DNP needs to develop it's own version of the COMLEX, i.e. Steps 1-3, tweaked to reflect "nursing theory/roles" type stuff (which will make many groan, but putting in this stuff is the only way to...

  17. Studying nursing theory, came across Jean Watson

    psychonaut replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, great minds and all that...I swear that two examples of pseudoscience that are usually forefront in my mind are Freudian psychossexual theory and Scientology. Any energy field theories (whether...

  19. Studying nursing theory, came across Jean Watson

    psychonaut replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    An oldie but goodie: http://www.sonoma.edu/users/n/nolan/N400/raskin.htm I personally look forward to acquiring Jedi powers upon completion of my FNP. Luckily, I have found that knocking out papers on...

  20. Regulatory Autonomy

    psychonaut replied to cruisin_woodward's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    1) If wishes were fishes, we'd live in the sea. I.e., this thread WILL devolve sooner or later, either by the input of one of our regular 3-4 "thread killers" (I like to think of them as the...

  21. Hello my name is.......and I am OBESE

    psychonaut replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    And that's the way these discussions generally get framed, one extreme or the other. It is entirely reasonable to examine the physiology and behavior related to a complex condition. It is also...

  22. The DNP and what it means for the APN

    psychonaut replied to StangGang92's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Are we speaking here in terms of prerequisites, or the nursing courses themselves? While I have seen variation in the former, and varying degrees of theory in the latter, I was under the impression...

  23. The DNP and what it means for the APN

    psychonaut replied to StangGang92's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    One irony (that has been noted by others) is how well we've managed to standardize most of BSN and ADN education. From my research, most programs leading to an RN share a general curriculum, with...

  24. Studying Patho????

    psychonaut replied to Floridanurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for this recommendation. I looked that book up on amazon, and saw many reviews recommended also using "Robbins and Cotran Review of Pathology." Would you agree with that? I don't know what...
