  1. Doctors blackballing NPs/DNPs

    amzyRN replied to mslinzyann's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What would happen if a NP or any other mid level did the 2 years of medical curriculum med students do? If all practitioners had that base, maybe there wouldn't be the big strife there is now. All...

  2. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thanks for the info, and I don't think my posts were condescending, or not meant to be. I'm an opinionated person and that will not change. My opinions are slightly different than yours, and that's...

  3. Is NP practice truely semi/autonomous?

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

    Do NPs and DNPs compete with physicians or are they trying to help patients? Would physicians prefer to do everything on their own? Maybe everyone should walk out and let physicians do everything and...

  4. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You should read what certain med students and who ever else may post on the student doctor network about nursing and nurses. I think it actually makes the medical profession look bad. It's pretty...

  5. Samuel Merritt ABSN Intensity Questions

    amzyRN replied to scoobysnax's topic in California Nursing

    For one thing it can be laborious work, like moving patients, equipment, etc...and you've got to watch your back very carefully. Another thing is that some of the work like suctioning mucus, wiping...

  6. Nurse to Doctor

    amzyRN replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's lame, sorry to hear

  7. Nurse to Doctor

    amzyRN replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having thoughts of going to medical school after working as an RN for a couple years. I've got a degree in molecular and cell biology, and have done all pre med requirements, and have got good...

  8. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Some degrees are inherently more involved than others because, like biochemistry or genetics for example. Anyone who finishes a doctoral degree in one of those in less than 4 years is an anomaly. The...

  9. Samuel Merritt ABSN Intensity Questions

    amzyRN replied to scoobysnax's topic in California Nursing

    Michigan state university has an accelerated BSN program that's a lot less than SMC. I understand your reasoning and it's the same reasoning that I used to make my decision, not wanting to leave the...

  10. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yeah, I looked into that and that is true that med students and residents are grilled, but I don't know if I agree with it, because it makes people afraid to ask questions and alert physicians to...

  11. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Perhaps "die on my feet" is a bad analogy, but it nurses are expected to spend their career "on their knees" to physicians then I think I chose the wrong profession to go into. For example,...

  12. Samuel Merritt ABSN Intensity Questions

    amzyRN replied to scoobysnax's topic in California Nursing

    The program is not worth the money. It's disorganized (at the extension campuses), clinical experiences vary (some instructors are great, some are not so great), it's more than 48K b/c of supplies,...

  13. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yep, the PhD can actually be a longer degree, like 6 to 8 years, so I think you're right about the length of the program

  14. Samuel Merritt ABSN Intensity Questions

    amzyRN replied to scoobysnax's topic in California Nursing

    Had I to do it over again, I'd try to find a cheaper program. Yes they are harder to get into, but try anyway, b/c the S.F. program is definitely a bit of a

  15. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's good to note and should be fairly obvious that a PhD can be referred to as doctor so and so and anyone with a four year doctoral degree can also be referred to as doctor. Like a pharm D would be...

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm aware of the clout the medical profession has. I've recently had a negative experience with a physician in my recent clinical rotation. I mentioned an abnormal value of my patient, and the...

  18. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    NPs do not have to bow and scrape to MDs, nor does any other health care professional. If MDs were the only ones to diagnose and treat disease, the health care system would

  19. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

  20. Nursing or Medical School

    amzyRN replied to Yosemite's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm now half way done with an accelerated second degree BSN. My first degree was in molecular and cell biology. I am now considering med school after working for a year, because my interest in the...

  21. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Will the DNP curriculum include more advanced science classes at some point? I know that the DNP is not supposed to expand scope of practice, but it seems like the unspoken understanding is that it...

  22. How is the NP role different from MD

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

    As I'm now in nursing school, I see it's short comings. There seem to be a lot of emphasis on care plans, nursing diagnoses, and not enough biological science or even psychology for that matter. And...

  23. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I spoke with one of the faculty at UCSF that suggested the market will determine the demand for the DNP. As it stands now, the DNP is supposed to take effect in 2015. That's 7 years away and a lot can...
