  2. FNP Oversaturation

    djmatte replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No. She was contrasting the programs (not the accreditation). She indicated the CRNA programs are actually worth their salt because their accrediting bodies actually hold them accountable. Unlike NP...

    djmatte replied to familymrl3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't classify expressions in this thread as some deep hatred. That probably warrants its own thread and discussion. Most of us in this area of nursing are more focused on identifying patients...

  4. CDC Data Shows Strong Relationship Between MMR Vaccine and Autism

    djmatte replied to familymrl3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't talk to me about "serving prejudices". Every post you make here serves your own prejudice. You can't even come clean about your background when challenged. Nor can you actually address key...

    Also to piggyback on the previous folic acid arguments, African Americans are far less likely to receive adequate prenatal care. This leads to a disproportionate increased risk for a host of...

  6. CDC Data Shows Strong Relationship Between MMR Vaccine and Autism

    djmatte replied to familymrl3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Autism rates rising isn't an exact math. Modern autism wasn't really described until the 40s. Many doctors during this time mischaracterized it or simply combined it with other psychiatric...

    djmatte replied to soliantony's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'll practice medicine the way I see fit and protect my license and livelihood based on my own assessment of the guidelines and practice environment. If patients seek care elsewhere because of it, I...

  13. What's a Nurse Practitioner?!

    djmatte replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What's worse is when your own family drops that bomb. Or more hilariously when my mom said recently that a doctor that lives nearby told here I should go back and get my CRNA.

  14. 'Force feeding' at Guantanamo

    djmatte replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Government, Military

  15. 5 minute clinical consult

    djmatte posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Looking to add this book and program to my list. I'm buying the book because I like having them and buying one gives you a free year with their online givings. I've noticed in recent years (2016 to...

  16. What do Primary Care APNs Want to Know about Nephrology?

    djmatte replied to traumaRUs's topic in Advanced Practice

    Diabetes is huge for me. So many medications that can't be used at various stages. I recently acquired a patient on actos who was stage 3-4 ESRD and I was dumbfounded nobody took him off much...

  17. FY 19 Navy Nursing

    djmatte replied to LvLI-ICU28's topic in Government, Military

    I find it hard to believe they have loaded up all of their billets for the entire fiscal year one month deep. Regardless, packages are good for two years. So I'll keep my recruiter on the ready to...

  21. Second Thoughts on leaving Bedside for NP role

    djmatte replied to Babyboss 19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Certainly every situation is different. But this person specifically is in a specialty area that isn't overloaded (she's a PNP) when compared to other areas. She's had graduated with no debt. And I'd...

  22. Second Thoughts on leaving Bedside for NP role

    djmatte replied to Babyboss 19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With 16 years of experience bedside, I would bet you are at the top of the pay scale at most hospitals. So if there is a slight pay cut, I wouldn't look it as a demotion. I would look at it as...

  24. FY 19 Navy Nursing

    djmatte replied to LvLI-ICU28's topic in Government, Military

    They required all of my EPRs from my enlisted duty in the air force. I only had 4 out of 7 in my records. And the three missing were from my best years in. So I will probably be waiting up to a month...
