  3. Any PhD Students Out There?

    chicoborja replied to JaneyW's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I'm a Ph.D. student but not in nursing nor am I an RN. I think there are different perspectives, with regard to PhD education, in all allied health/nursing professions where the masters in the...

    chicoborja replied to Emery's topic in General Nursing

    ASL is also more prevalent in areas that have large Deaf communities (e.g., Washington, D.C., New York, and California). Many school systems teach SEE (SEE2) which is a manual version of English....

  8. PhD/NP advice

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

  10. evoked potential monitoring

    chicoborja posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Do/can CRNAs do evoked potential monitoring? I was told they do EEG monitoring (at least MDAs do) but that SSEP, VEP, and AEP makes it to difficult because it detracts from the ability to monitor...

  11. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    chicoborja replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  12. Do RNs have to take PA's order?

    chicoborja replied to EvePooh's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to offend anyone but some of the responses I've read have somewhat irritated me. I do agree that PAs and NPs are relatively equal. Neither mid-level is inherently superior. When comparing...

  13. DOCTORATE as Required Entry Level for Advance Practice Nurses?

    chicoborja replied to VickyRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    chicoborja replied to VickyRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  15. Sign Language - useful for nurses?

    chicoborja replied to Hodge's topic in General Nursing

    Are you taking ASL (American Sign Language) or SEE (Signing Exact English)? ASL is more common with the Deaf community whereas SEE and PSE (Pidgin Signed English) are more common in the schools. I...

  16. DOCTORATE as Required Entry Level for Advance Practice Nurses?

    chicoborja replied to VickyRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Many doctoral level professionals make similar salaries compared to a master's level ARNP. Physical therapists, audiologists, and psychologists all make similar wages; consequently, it's not much of a...

    chicoborja replied to VickyRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare
