  1. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    Winnie04 replied to guest_57352's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Although the AACN recommends that the DNP is the required degree for entry to practice by 2015, it does not have the authority to mandate it. It will depend on each state and whether or not the...

    Winnie04 replied to guest_57352's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi, I am a NP student and I just wanted to note that there are some inaccuracies in the prior post regarding NP autonomy and authority to prescribe opioids. There are indeed states where NP's may...

    Winnie04 replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Nursing

  6. Question regarding HIPAA

    Winnie04 replied to countrygonecity's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, good question, I will be interested to hear if anyone has an answer on this. I certainly think that a photo could be considered "protected health information" and therefore may be a HIPAA...

  7. Not to be provacative but why not Physician's assistant....

    Winnie04 replied to howardrgreenberg's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, my impression is that the "general unhappiness with the profession of nursing" that is expressed on this board has to do specifically with bedside nursing. Advanced Practice nurses (Nurse...

    Winnie04 replied to PsychiatricNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, Yes, there are some MSN programs that admit students straight from their BSN. I can't say if it's "unusual" or not- I don't know how common it is but I know it exists! Some other schools...

  10. Could use some advice!

    Winnie04 replied to southernbelle08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi Southernbelle, So, if I understand correctly, your manager is forcing you to work overtime?? I am no legal expert but I wonder if there are labor laws about that? Is your hospital's nursing staff...

  14. Low GPA, chances of NP?

    Winnie04 replied to NCcardiacNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, If you can get your GPA closer to a 3.0 that will probably help a lot. Ultimately, you won't know if you can get in unless you apply, so I say go for it! And as far as the GRE, there are a lot...

  15. Advice for a potential CNM

    Winnie04 replied to Ashtae220's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Winnie04 replied to XYnurse2B's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Carolinapooh, I hope my post wasn't unclear. Of course I am not saying that one should start a job without knowing what the pay is. Rather, I said that it can seem premature to ask about it an an...

    Winnie04 replied to XYnurse2B's topic in First Year After Licensure
