  1. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    amzyRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think if the scope of practice is not broadened then the DNP is somewhat superfluous. If the scope is broadened then the DNP makes sense. I don't want to have to jump through hoops to become an NP...

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

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

    Actually for some MS in nursing programs like UCSF don't require a BSN in particular in order to get into the masters program. But a bachelors degree is always required for admission to the masters...

  3. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    amzyRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So, what particular skills are honed as an RN that would make someone a better primary care NP? Is it more medically based or is it more psychologically based?

  4. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    amzyRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So what are the thoughts about prior RN experience relating to NP primary care? I think that is what I would like to do after working as an RN, is get into primary care as an NP. Do you really think...

  5. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    amzyRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    KatRn,BSN, I found it helpful that you mentioned that the roles for RN and NP are different. I am just going to start an accelerated BSN program to get the RN before the NP. I thought I'd have more...

    amzyRN replied to amzyRN's topic in California Nursing

    I haven't started the program yet, so I don't know how it will be, hopefully not as disorganized as I've heard, but I'll let you know how the SF-ABSN once I start,

  8. Searching for work ...Strike Nurse

    amzyRN replied to mitchellrn's topic in California Nursing

    I think that everyone has a right to speak their true feelings about issues, such as crossing the picket line, or as some might see as a betrayal. And it often comes to pass that we get back what we...

    amzyRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If anyone has any advice about whether to do an accelerated BSN second degree program or wait and get into a direct entry MSN-NP program, please let me know. I missed a deadline for a few direct...

  11. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    amzyRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi augigi, I noticed that you said that if one has a choice of doing an masters program versus a BSN, they should do the masters. Well, I recently got accepted to an ABSN program here in San...

  12. Samuel Merritt BSN program waiting list

    amzyRN replied to newPsychNP's topic in California Nursing

    So, are you satisfied with the program and do you think it was well worth the money, because I am a little worried about going into that much debt. I also think that the SF program was not that easy...

  13. Are we all old???

    amzyRN replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope, we aren't old, some are just more experienced in life. I am 32, just finished my B.A. after a leave of absence of about 9 years. I had some serious issues, like an eating disorder and then a...

  14. Samuel Merritt BSN program waiting list

    amzyRN replied to newPsychNP's topic in California Nursing

    I only applied for S.F. because I live in the city and thought it would be the easiest to get to. I've heard that the Oakland location is the best though because of the access to the main campus....

  15. Samuel Merritt BSN program waiting list

    amzyRN replied to newPsychNP's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know how impacted the program is. I've heard that they get about 200 applications for about 50 spots, but they have different campus locations, so I was under the impression that they could...

  16. Difference between FNP and ANP

    amzyRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I recently chose an accelerated BSN program instead of an entry level masters program that would lead to an MS, FNP, so that I may have a chance at getting into a school near me, UCSF, in their ANP...

  17. Samuel Merritt College

    amzyRN replied to amzyRN's topic in California Nursing

    That is so wonderful that you got accepted! I think you should try to find housing in the city if that is possible. Driving into SF can be really annoying and I think it will probably be less...

  18. Samuel Merritt BSN program waiting list

    amzyRN replied to newPsychNP's topic in California Nursing

    I got in to the ABSN S.F. campus also for fall 2007. I think I also got into NYU and will find out soon. If I got into NYU, I'll have a tough time deciding where to go. I don't want to move, but...

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

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

    Well what about Celebrex and Vioxx? These med's caused many deaths too. Look at what older typical antipyshcotics have done to the nervous system-permanent dammage. More recently, Zyprexa, has been...

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

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

    I may not have any experience in the field, but I have a mind that works, and I have experience as someone who takes medication. And the reliance on Big Pharma for most of our therapies is a big...

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

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

    i did not know that the all caps thing was taken as yelling, so apologies if you took it to mean that. with respect to hoalistic therapies, perhaps you should familiarize your self more with other...

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

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

    PERSONALLY, I THINK THE GRE IS LAME, NOT A VALID MEASURE OF INTELLECTUAL POTENTIAL. NEITHER IS GOING SOLEY ON GPA. SOME UNIVERSITIES ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO GET HIGH GRADES IN. SOME MAJORS ARE MORE...
