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

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

    If you want to practice either nursing or medicine with a strong holistic bent, you can do either. However, neither course of training would be sufficient in and of itself. Similar to alternative...

  2. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    jjjoy replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I wouldn't say that nurses are held to a different standard. It just reflects the unique development of the NP role and NP education. There's no great master plan about how NPs came into being; it's a...

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

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

    It sounds like then you might want to approach your education that way... you could focus on something like chronic illness from a liberal arts or social sciences perspective. There are those who...

  4. Hippa rules

    jjjoy replied to oldbutnewlpn's topic in Nursing Career

    It isn't always a clear line of how much is enough safeguarding of information. I agree that the main point of HIPAA is to protect patients from BREACHES in confidentiality. To be overly strict in...

  5. BA to Diploma to DNP?

    jjjoy replied to evpsych's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thank you for sharing your story, and kudos to you for all of your accomplishments, both personal and professional... really!!! I apologize if I came across negatively. I DO think your accomplishments...

  6. career question

    jjjoy replied to Mogol's topic in General Nursing

    Just to be forewarned, it can be difficult (not impossible, depends on local nursing market) to get work as a nurse part-time without previous experience. New grad nurses need a lot of support and...

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

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

    Nursing IDEALS encompass holistic care. Generally, in nursing education, there's explicit emphasis on this - so for that reason, nursing education might appeal to you more. The REALITY is that many...

  8. Critical Thinking

    jjjoy replied to cardiaccare's topic in General Nursing

    Pet-peeve alert. I think the term "critical thinking" is way over-used in nursing. Critical thinking can be applied in all different kinds of fields at all different levels. The course you are...

  9. Hippa rules

    jjjoy replied to oldbutnewlpn's topic in Nursing Career

    I totally agree. I totally agree here as well. Even without the report sheet, to share unauthorized details with unconcerned/unauthorized parties is not okay today and I don't think was considered...

  10. Highschool Student Discouraged

    jjjoy replied to ilnn's topic in Nursing Career

    If you don't get into a CSU and go to a JC instead, you can hopefully pull up your overall GPA making it easier to transer to a state university. AND it costs less. So if you get into the CSU, great!...

  11. Hippa rules

    jjjoy replied to oldbutnewlpn's topic in Nursing Career

    Really? It was my understanding that even before HIPPA, patient information was considered confidential and only to be shared with necessary/approved parties. The difference with HIPPA, I thought, was...

  12. Theoretical Framework

    jjjoy replied to Nyla10's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any advice for you but I'm curious about your... praxis... is that like a practice-oriented thesis? Anyway, I'm very interested in nursing education and tend to feel that basic RN...

  13. LPN vs RN

    jjjoy replied to kris10xxx86's topic in General Nursing

    There are MANY threads on the different paths to becoming a nurse, what's the difference between LPN and RN, between ADN and BSN, etc. You can use the search function (link in the upper right hand...

  14. BA to Diploma to DNP?

    jjjoy replied to evpsych's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not sure who you addressing... the OP? myself?? I didn't see anywhere a suggestion that anyone was owed anything or that an implication that anyone was just sitting on their rump expecting to be...

  15. BA to Diploma to DNP?

    jjjoy replied to evpsych's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm curious what your trajectory has been to this point. It's hard imagine someone with a PhD in macromolecular bio being willing to spend 3 years completing the odd pre-req and a traditional RN...

  16. Commute to school?

    jjjoy replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In regard to the nearby diploma vs ADN, if the diploma program has a good reputation, I'd go with that one. You'd have much lower transportation costs and more time available (less time on the road)....

  17. Clinical Research in Nursing

    jjjoy replied to gsr1306's topic in General Nursing

    Yep type "clinical research nurse" in a job website (eg Monster) and see what pops up. If that doesn't bring up anything useful in your area, just try "clinical research" and see what pops up. It...

  18. Subordinates

    jjjoy replied to bollweevil's topic in General Nursing

    It certainly CAN be obnoxious, especially if said in a demeaning manner or by someone you don't like to be associated with and wouldn't work with if you had any choice about it. WHO says it and HOW...

  19. Thanks for replies for interview critique; seeking some further advice please

    jjjoy replied to iwanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've heard SOOOOO many nurses say things like "aren't double rooms a HIPPA violation? The other pt can't help but hear some info about their roommate" or "I overhead one doctor talking to another...

  20. bar coding for med administration

    jjjoy replied to quizzical315's topic in General Nursing

    So much depends on the system and how it is managed. The actual software program makes a difference because some are easier to use and some have more inherent problems. Thus, one system may have...

  21. Universal Healthcare/Nursing Salaries

    jjjoy replied to JerseyGir1's topic in General Nursing

    It's my understanding that private health insurance reimbursement rates don't always cover all hospital costs. Hospitals are willing to accept low reimbursement rates because they fear that if they...

  22. New Grad Questions

    jjjoy replied to Peppers82's topic in General Nursing

    Great advice racingmom! One correction. Some people, unfortunately, will seem to expect you to know everything, or at least expect you to know more than you do. Don't believe them. Do be open to...

  23. What overwhelms you the most? What did NS NOT prepare you for?

    jjjoy replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well-put! So

  24. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    jjjoy replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Kinda crazy, huh? It would be one thing if the more expensive schools had the exact same content, but just more conveniently available (thus more expensive). But when the content is different even...

  25. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    jjjoy replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Getting a BSN isn't even about becoming a charge nurse or manager. The charge nurse role is often just a rotated routine role filled at times by all unit nurses. Unit managers generally deal with...
