Hi everybody. Next semester I plan on enrolling in the advanced patho class in the nursing department. The course is required for masters students attempting to become NPs or CNSs. I am not a nursing major but rather am a PhD student in a non-nursing...

Thanks for your reply but that's the thing too, I havent had undergrad patho. I have taken other useful courses: A&P, Microbiology, Chem, Pharmacology, and Organismal Biology as an undergrad. I have also taken some Neuroscience and Genetics as a ...

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 entry level (e.g., advanced practice nursing, OT, SLP...

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. Although ASL and SEE may share many signs, the syntax ...

I am posting in hopes of soliciting some feedback from clinical nurse practioners and if possible any nurse practiioners with PhDs. I am currently a second year grad student in an unrelated program. Beginning in the Fall I plan in enrolling in the mi...

You might be better off checking into Anesthesia Assistant or Physician Assistant programs. They are more geared towards biology majors. Anestheisa Assistants are essentially the same as Nurse Anesthetists except they are only licensed to practice in...

LOL, I don't know how anybody could frown upon a PhD in biomedical engineering. If anything, they might only be hesitant about accepting you becuz they might be afraid u may upstage the professors on a variety of issues. If they don't accept you, it ...

thank u for your reply siri

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 anesthesia. I know in the past evoked potential resear...

The faculty are needed before it produces DrNP graduates! I don't see how this helps the faculty shortage! I'm not sure about nursing but in many other fields tenure for faculty members (associate professor rank) requires an academic doctorate (e.g.,...

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 the two, it really comes down to the individual c...

One problem that just came to mind relates to those colleges that belong to universities that are not doctoral-granting institutions. Many smaller colleges/universities award the master's as their highest degree available. I wonder if this transition...

Legalize It, Don't Criticize It

The practical value is primarily political. Having a doctorate as the entry-level for a particular profession, in this case advanced practice nursing, sets a profession up to move towards autonomy. I would say that the quest for autonomy and all the ...

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 hope that you are aware that taking one class in sign...

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 stretch to think a doctoral prepared ARNP will st...

first pharmacy BS to PharmD then audiology MA to AuD then physical therapy MPT to DPT and now nursing MSN to DNP soon every health professional will be a Dr and everyone can feel good about calling themselves Dr. so and so jk....seriously...i dont...

"is it even possible to wear a hearing aid and still use a stethescope? " yes it is...there are stethoscopes available that are hearing aid compatible. You'd be better off utilizing the hearing you have rather than coping w/o the aid. I believe there...

I live in Wichita where the CRNA program for Newman is. I don't go there but if you want to know about the Wichita area in regards to living here lemme know. There's also a CRNA program at KU.

Taking chem first is only really helpful because it familiarizes you with common elements (H, N, C, etc) found in the body as well as common molecules. It seemed slightly more important with Micro and the Kreb Cycle but it really isnt that big of a d...

I am about to graduate with my BA in Communicative Disorders & Sciences and plan on entering an Au.D. (Audiology) program in the Fall. I want to specialize in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (monitoring evoked auditory, visual, and ...

Wow, I live in Wichita and didn't realize that Newman really had a reputation outside of Kansas. I'm assuming your talking about applying for their CRNA program. How competitive is Newman's CRNA program anyway?

PhD's are commonly referred to as 'doctor' in academic settings but many would say it is inapproprate for a PhD to be called 'doctor' in a clinical setting when the doctorate is a research degree (i.e. a respiratory therapist with a PhD). I can see ...
