  1. The Future: You Must have a Masters to Apply to a Nurse Anesthesia Program??!!

    SN2bExpAt replied to papmar's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You know this question is coming. Why would I bother with 4 years of extra nursing school when in that same amount of time I can get a medical degree that has unlimited diversity potential? You...

  2. How is the NP role different from MD

    SN2bExpAt replied to abcdefg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BINGO!!! I was fortunate enough to witness an autopsy in my medicine clinical rotation. The pathologist was excellent about teaching my group as she cut and dissected each organ. The patient was a...

  3. What Chem courses did you have prior to acceptance?

    SN2bExpAt posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CRNA schools highly recommend a chemistry course(s) prior to entering their programs. However, these schools never seem to specify a preference(s). Some recommend Organic Chem, others BioChem....

  4. Is BSN entry to practice....

    SN2bExpAt posted a topic in International Nursing

    Is BSN entry to practice a proactive measure to keep foreign trained nurses out of Canada? I am seeing two sides here. You have the angels in the sky press release version. This is the version...

  5. What Chem courses did you have prior to acceptance?

    SN2bExpAt replied to SN2bExpAt's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, um, I am guessing by the non response that the Chem requirements aren't all that important then? High school will suffice? Where's a Biff Tannen emoticon when you need

  6. DNP Article

    SN2bExpAt replied to prairienp's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have been thinking. The theory is that DNPs will be able to bill insurance companies just like docs, right? This would suggest that they are not earning a yearly salary. Mundinger suggests...

  7. List of Schools scrapping their MSN programs

    SN2bExpAt posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, it looks as though DNP entry to practice is coming well before the 2015 proposed "official changeover." Two schools that have scrapped their MSN programs: -UTHSC (Tennesse) -U of Michigan...

  8. List of Schools scrapping their MSN programs

    SN2bExpAt replied to SN2bExpAt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is there going to be a standardization process to ensure consistency? Isn't there something like 190 programs nationwide slated to be offered in the upcoming years? I have a hard time swallowing...

  9. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Proof? How many clinical hours do med students put in prior to finishing a residency? Around 6000 hours or so? NP programs? 500-700 ish hours? Research indicates that two fields can equally Dx...

  10. Is BSN entry to practice....

    SN2bExpAt replied to SN2bExpAt's topic in International Nursing

    Are the foreign nurses that Capital Health is recruiting Baccalauraeate prepared? If not, that is one glaring hypocrisy. Or is it that the RNs brought from overseas being settled into Canada as...

  11. DNP Article

    SN2bExpAt replied to prairienp's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Oh boy, lines are gonna be drawn with jackhammers in the near future. /me grabs a bag of popcorn....this is going to get real ugly in the near

  12. Canadians in NC

    SN2bExpAt posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    As you can tell by the handle, I am statebound when I am done nursing. My questions: 1) Does NC require the NCLEX? 2) Do employers ask or look into your CRNE (or lack thereof?) I am asking b/c I have...

  13. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    We already are robotic in the search for EBP based rationale. We are constantly beat over the head with "EBP" in our Nursing Skills labs. We are told not to listen to the "older" nurses if what they...

  14. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    As for reductionist, I would think that 4 years undergrad BN and a few years in practice would help solidify our caring perspective and help us not write off people so quickly. I was watching...

  15. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Scroll down to Length of Program UTHSC has already implented DNP as their standard entry to practice as of 2009; guess they got sick of waiting I'll be honest here, I just assumed 3 years because I...

  16. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Oh, I am also not flawed in respect to one additional year. DNP programs are 3 years versus the two required in a masters? I guess I did not make that clear. If you throw in the 1-2 years of RN...

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    When I said fluff earlier, it was not aimed at the ENTIRE courseload an NP student is required to learn. I think I made that pretty clear. The courses you listed would be the meat and potatoes...

  18. Best province...

    SN2bExpAt replied to wasup's topic in International Nursing

    Shalom! Best wages are in Alberta, period. They pay double for overtime, start higher than BC and Ontario, and have the lowest income tax structure of any province. Also, you only pay one tax there....

  19. so frustrated with nursing diagnoses

    SN2bExpAt replied to birdgardner's topic in General Students

    NANDA Dx's are such hokey it's not even funny. NO ONE USES THEM OUTSIDE THE FRIGGIN CLASSROOM!!!!!!!!!!! It's just more useless fluff to sell textbooks and give something profs can use to recharge...

  20. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It is the paradoxical effect of more is less. More requirements for NP = less applicants to grad school. I am guessing people with ambition apply to NP grad school. These people, motivated people...

  21. Opinion on your NP school?

    SN2bExpAt replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Visit US World and Weekly news. I paid a pretty penny to get their "Best American Grad Schools 2008" issue mailed up to Canada. Top 3 schools for NP year after year: -UCSF -U of Washington -U Penn...

  22. What do you think are the current major problems in nursing?

    SN2bExpAt replied to Barras's topic in General Nursing

    Troop demoralization that begins in the school setting before getting that BSN in your hand. It is funny to see how the nurse instructors who were complete bullies to powerless students relegated to...

  23. Professionalism in nursing

    SN2bExpAt replied to yayat's topic in General Nursing

    How about professionalism extended to the clinical instructor/student dynamic? I find that clinical instructors can be angelic to evil incarnate. Yet, professors and other staff prefer to take the...

  24. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    SN2bExpAt replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    All throughout my 2nd year of nursing school I would spend a lot of my free time looking at both Canadian and American schools that offered an NP Masters stream. It is three years in Ontario. You...

  25. Poll: As a male in Nursing school, my goal/desire is to work in this area....

    SN2bExpAt replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My personality is such that I get as much out of a job/career area as I can, then I move on. To get as much as I can as a BN, I want to get straight into a Critical Care course and do CVICU,...
