   NYCRN6 replied to amyrae76's topic in Oncology

   JovigirlRN THanks for your response. I decided to take the test in early 2012 instead of late 2011 due to change in priorities! The link to the amazon site did not work, do you happen to have another link for this so I can see what you recommended? T...

   NYCRN6 replied to amyrae76's topic in Oncology

   Hey everyone! I am studying for the OCN exam also. Thanks for posting in this thread... I am terrible with standardized testing, but I feel over the years I have improved. Let's hope that this mind-set comes with me during the test! I am in the ONS ...

8. Adv Degree - IOM Future of Nursing - What should I go for now?

   NYCRN6 replied to NYCRN6's topic in Advanced

   I also think of college loans as well. It scares me to think that when I get out I will have possibly 10-100K student loans (depending on grad school I attend, if I can work FT or PT, my institution's reimbursement program, etc). Most likely I will b...

9. Adv Degree - IOM Future of Nursing - What should I go for now?

   NYCRN6 replied to NYCRN6's topic in Advanced

   Thanks for the article. I read it, and ALSO the comments. It is pretty sad how some student and experienced doctors think of NP's. They must not work in a great institution because NP's are highly looked upon here. If I were anyone here I would st...

    NYCRN6 replied to NYCRN6's topic in Advanced

    I think a lot of what DNP is - is leadership courses and also the most terminal degree in nursing (in addition to PhD). Instead of not having patient contact they can use the evidence based practice that the PhD prepared nurses have researched and pu...

12. Adv Degree - IOM Future of Nursing - What should I go for now?

    NYCRN6 replied to NYCRN6's topic in Advanced

    Thanks for your post. Do you practice in New York? I think DNP is a great degree and probably for our lifetime we will be explaining what our role is. It will be embedded into our culture as we get older and more people will accept the scope of pract...

    NYCRN6 posted a topic in Advanced

    Good evening, I am looking to go back to school in Spring 2012 in New York for an Advanced Degree. Recently in October the IOM reported The Future of Nursing. I read about 100 pages... essentially they want us nurses to have the FULL extent of ed...
