  2. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    veritas replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i agree with you, except, in reality, they do select people the way i described. i was on the selection/academic board once and the discussions that went on about RNs becoming MDs were not welcoming...

    veritas replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    veritas replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    veritas replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    to solve the shortage of doc problem, NPs should be given more power/autonomy. they can't just simply let in more students. plus it costs much more to train a doc than a nurse. they have started to...

    veritas replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  14. Is nursing bad for your waist line?

    veritas replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    i think this patient must be very ignorant or just choosing to see what he wants to see. i don't think nurses as a population are predisposed to or generally fat! it's got nothing to do with nursing....

  17. Addressing physicians

    veritas replied to NeuroNP's topic in International Nursing

    in lay man terms, all doctors are called doctors! its confusing with the mr and doc differentiation. a surgeon has to be a doc before he becomes a sugeon anyway. so all surgeons and physicians get the...

    veritas replied to veritas's topic in General Nursing
