    One question, which I think relates directly to this topic, is what journals do NPs/DNPs read to stay up on the latest diagnostic/therapeutic advances? The Journal of Advanced Nursing (I flipped...

    forpath replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree with much of what you say, don't get me wrong. First off, I had no idea what left and right pondian was. I looked it up on urban dictionary and I chuckled. I can understand so much more of...

  3. AMA House of Delegates Considers Limits on on Nursing Education and Practice

    forpath replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Bolded part #1-I was talking about what someone else posted regarding UAPs being under the control of the Board of Nursing, not how this hospital or that oversees them. If the BON does oversee UAPs,...

  4. AMA House of Delegates Considers Limits on on Nursing Education and Practice

    forpath replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But, if the UAPs are not nurses, then nurses are indeed regulating a profession outside of their own. Just because the BON has historically regulated it does not make it right. What if the UAPs were...

  5. AMA House of Delegates Considers Limits on on Nursing Education and Practice

    forpath replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What right do nurses have to control and supervise UAPs? Do many UAPs not have their own education pathways to certification separate from nursing pathways? Are you not regulating another separate...

  9. Grandfather clause for DNP?

    forpath replied to forpath's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You must live/work in a state different from my own. In my state, all APNs must work in collaboration/consultation with a physician, so I'm not sure if owning one's own practice would fly here. I...

  11. Grandfather clause for DNP?

    forpath replied to forpath's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Please see my post from 5:11 regarding your first bolded statement. I think I was posting at the same time you were. Regarding your second bolded statement...I think I've read every post on DNPs...

  12. Grandfather clause for DNP?

    forpath replied to forpath's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Oh yeah, I know, and I'm not looking right now, but I was just playing the role of someone in 2015 when the DNP becomes the minimum for an APN. I guess if you have an established relationship with an...

  13. Grandfather clause for DNP?

    forpath replied to forpath's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Not to mention this would imply there is a Charcot Marie I syndrome as

  15. I've always wanted to know what the difference is

    forpath replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i think this is a pretty good example of the difference between an np and an md. this particular np thinks it is called "charcot-marie ii syndrome", whereas an md would know it is charcot marie tooth...
