  1. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am not convinced that physicians have that kind of sway nationally. Nurses associations are becoming better lobbyists all the time and considering the need for NPs and other mid levels (less...

  2. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What do you think will happen? Do you think that the DNP will create a national practice act, that includes medical Dx/Tx in nursing practice? I didn't read what the nursing associations in Louisiana...

  3. Nursing and then Medicine: Wrong profession?

    amzyRN replied to Apollorn's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think you should wait on your decision and find out more about medicine and advanced practice nursing. I wouldn't do medicine for prestige or money, but rather b/c you really enjoyed the science...

  4. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I've known a few physicians who were probably like your dad. In my current nursing program, I've met physicians who told some of us in my clinical group that if they had to do it again, they might go...

  5. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Ideas and the energy they produce, like "competition," "getting what they deserved," "vicious," etc. are not conducive to healing, health care, or compassion and unbecoming of a physician or nurse. I...

  6. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I bet there are many physicians who wouldn't want the case to go to court b/c it becomes a waste of time and resources over ego and would be glad that their patients are being helped. There are...

  7. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    amzyRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone know, or has anyone every compared the science part of advanced practice nursing curriculum versus med school curriculum? Not the clinical part. Both nurses and MDs learn life science to...

  8. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What's your definition of "practicing medicine"? I also, don't think anyone on this thread said DNP was equivalent to MD training. Please use direct quotes when stating who said what, it's more...

  9. Samuel Merritt ABSN Intensity Questions

    amzyRN replied to scoobysnax's topic in California Nursing

    How does the preceptorship process work and what do I need to do to get one in my specialty of choice? How do I go about finding a job (new grad training program) before I graduate? I just want to get...

  10. Chabot ADN vs Samuel Merritt ABSN

    amzyRN replied to iluvmusak's topic in California Nursing

    I think the BSN may provide an edge in the job market (I could be wrong). One of the posters said it depends on the clinical instructors for the quality of your experience and I have found that true....

  11. Samuel Merritt ABSN Intensity Questions

    amzyRN replied to scoobysnax's topic in California Nursing

    Good advice. My negative experiences mainly have to do with the admin and how my clinical placements were determined, with a supposed rotating alpha priority that did not really exist (not for me...

  12. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Why should someone have to specify what their PhD is in? Doesn't the PhD automatically mean that it's not an MD? And a DNP is not the same as an MD, which is kind of obvious to me. The practitioner...

  13. which path to chose

    amzyRN replied to undecided's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you should choose the program of study that most interests you. I did a second degree program in nursing and there are things I like about nursing, but other things I don't like. I think for...

  14. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    amzyRN replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I see your point. Do you think it would yield a better

  15. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think the option of med school is still on the table for those of us who want to delve more deeply into the science aspect of medicine. I don't know if the DNP degree will ever encompass the depth...

  16. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    n_g: Just curious and no offense intended, but are most med students (or hopeful pre-meds-don't quite know where you fit in) as contemptuous and shallow as to go to a nursing forum and attack their...

  17. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    amzyRN replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I totally agree with you that some classes are too easy. Raising the bar would not necessarily exclude people, if some of the slackers would commit to studying for their classes. The pre med...

  18. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    amzyRN replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Calculus is actually not that difficult of a class. I really enjoyed my calculus class. I think there are myths about these classes being so intensely difficult. I think in general out educational...

  19. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    amzyRN replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Training as generalists may be a good idea if the educational requirements are going to be increased anyway, like the DNP. I think it can't hurt to have a solid in depth understanding of how the human...

  20. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    amzyRN replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It would be interesting to see what would happen if NP or PA curriculum was changed to be more like the first 2 years of med school. Would the mid level provider then get more respect? I think that...

  21. Is NP practice truely semi/autonomous?

    amzyRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've recently been told that NP practice is still governed by physicians and that there is an inherent inequality that may never go away. When I decided to go into nursing, I thought that it was an...

    You make and excellent

  23. Doctors blackballing NPs/DNPs

    amzyRN replied to mslinzyann's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What I'm referring to is the anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, part of bio-medical science. The anatomy doesn't change because it's taught in a nursing school, right? It may be less...

  24. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    amzyRN replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I guess the public will have to be educated about the term "doctor". It shouldn't be too hard to grasp. Maybe the public will have to learn the term physician to distinguish the differences between...

  25. Doctors blackballing NPs/DNPs

    amzyRN replied to mslinzyann's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I've heard from other APNs on this site that they think NPs are "practicing medicine". I don't know what practicing medicine and don't know enough about nursing to know what practicing nursing is...
