  1. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Uh, because they have a clinical doctorate degree. Thanks for keeping the questions simple for us nurses otherwise, we would have trouble following along. Either do dentists, optometrists or...

  2. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very interesting clarification. So, if I understand your theory here, medical students are much brighter than other college students, which is why they are in medical school? So its not just nursing...

  3. FNP program at University of southern indiana

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to PRIMESTAR1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow, that's cutting it pretty close. So, if they start now, the 5 year track will put them right on the line of that 2015 deal. What happens if they don't meet the board deadline--will they have to...

  4. FNP program at University of southern indiana

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to PRIMESTAR1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It's funny. Although most had trouble with her, I thought Saucier was one of the best instructors I've ever had. She is a bit aloof but is very good. She has traveled with all of the brightest...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to PRIMESTAR1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you look at the credentials of most nursing faculty at ISU, you will note that the vast majority are advance practice nurses (NP's or FNP's or APRN's, etc). Unfortunately, if you look at the...

  8. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So I take it you have not heard of this policy either. I would not characterize this as a personal attack any more than I would say that the individual in question has repeatedly lied about facts....

  9. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's important to remember, as an example, that dentists, optometrists and podiatrists all have different training pathways than physicians. The DNP pathway is also quite different. Physicians,...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to PRIMESTAR1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, Hughes was that patho numbnut over at ISU. Franchesca over at USI? If so she is super nice. She is always such a wealth of info. I'm not sure if ISU will allow PA's, but I know USI won't....

  16. FNP program at University of southern indiana

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to PRIMESTAR1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow, you are very intuitive. This is a very difficult question for me to answer. I would say, at least for me, it is fair statement that the Indiana State non-nursing professors within the graduate...

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I know the difference between a law and a dead bill. You have misrepresented nothing except the facts. Like the bill you said that would soon pass is dead, and if the dead bill would have passed,...

  18. Six months until NP school begins -- What to do until then?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to pugdaddy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also, if i was trying to be sarcastic, I would of had advised that you get a copy of Harrison's, 17th Edition and cover the first 2700 pages or so within the 392 chapters. Then when your done with...

  19. Six months until NP school begins -- What to do until then?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to pugdaddy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually I was not trying to be sarcastic, just realistic. After 20 years of being in the health care field and being so close to graduation myself, it bothers me related to how much I have not been...

  20. Six months until NP school begins -- What to do until then?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to pugdaddy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, 3 years from nothing to RN and FNP? You might want to start by learning vital signs, like how to check a pulse and blood pressure and what not. To tell you the truth, I really wouldn't know...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    My bad, two--not one, undocumented sources. Much better. Notice how this statement is in-line with reality as manifested by its close following of the provision of the dead bill? This is what is...

  24. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If small words would be helpful, I will try. Nothing more than 3 syllables, guaranteed or your next misrepresentation will not be challenged. 1. You said the bill is likely to pass. It is not--There...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    No, it is I who appreciates your comments. You are correct, which of course was never an issue. What you did represent is that if the bill passesses, it would be illegal for DNP's to use the title...
