  1. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

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

    And a few diploma programs left

  2. Online program recommendations

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

    Why not transfer to a school that does both? For example at my school the the only difference between the two as far as lectures, assignments, exams, clinicals, etc is whether you chose to watch...

  3. Online program recommendations

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

    It sounds to me that distance education was a poor fit for you, as my experience has been the opposite. I'm curious, since you are about to graduate, exactly how long did it take for you to become...

  4. Online program recommendations

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

    First, please take some time to reread my posts. Not once have I ever claimed that one form of education delivery is superior. Second, after you take a moment to think about my responses to those...

  5. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Wow, now that's arrogance coupled with ignorance and hypocrisy at its finest. First, the BON is not qualified to make determinations of educational quality of nursing programs equivalent to United...

  6. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    OK. I'm Irish. I still don't get it. Are they saying that Excelsior grads pose a risk to the public welfare of Georgia? Fewer qualified nurses(as a result of BON) =decrease access to quality health...

  7. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Can someone explain why the BON has chosen not to accept grads from Excelsior? I want to write a letter and address the BON's

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

    Very structured in my program. In the second clinical course, can do only a max of 16 hours per week and third only 24 hours per week. No time restrictions for the last one. I think the reason why,...

  9. Experience with Distance Ed NP programs

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

    That's cool. I did the same thing but I was a civilian paramedic and they wouldn't let me challenge boards. So I had to take the tests over an 8 month period with Regents to get my adn, then take...

  10. How many schools did everyone apply to?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats on the acceptance. Also, good choice on the switch. To get a post masters cert in nursing ed is a much shorter path and you can do so much with your FNP. Example, check out Indiana State...

  11. Online program recommendations

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

    Not true. In California there are many NP's with certificates only that are excellent. One is actually my preceptor and I'd take him over any family practice doc or DNP prepared NP in the area if I...

  12. paramedic nursing

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to mcgill01's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Wow, you live and learn. Never heard of that before. So who regulates--the BON or state EMSA? Just curious, can paramedics there perform ALS within the

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

    Good analogy and even better

  14. RN to Paramedic Bridge Course

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to ironjohn929's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    You're killing me. Two different models of care -one is nursing (one profession); the other medicine (another profession). Two different roles paramedics guide, provide and lead care in the...

  15. paramedic nursing

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to mcgill01's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I'm a bit thick and don't grasp concepts too well, but what exactly is paramedic nursing? Is that like chiropractic optometry or podiatry

  16. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Great. but it excludes those of us who are alumni. Is there anyway you can change this to include graduates

  17. Online program recommendations

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

    And I thought denial was your standard defense mechanism. Apparently we can add rationalization too. I, however, find bigotry, in the form of your generalizations regarding distance education not so...

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

    Someone had to say it.

  19. Online program recommendations

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

    No problem.:nuke: But that's not exactly the sum of our dialogue related to this matter. That's OK, though, because I'm here to help you. First you stated that those with distance ed BSN's are...

  20. Online program recommendations

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

    I just spoke with senior navy nurse recruiter for New York. She has absolutely no clue what you are talking about. So long as the graduate has a BSN from a NLAN accredited institution, then they are...

  21. How many schools did everyone apply to?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That makes sense. Yep July 15th is my done date and I get to walk (or in my case limp) across the stage for graduation in May. 614 & 616 are groovy

  22. Online program recommendations

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

    Please provide a source for your information. For example, here is what is on the US Navy's Web site for eligibility criteria for nurses: Specific Requirements To qualify for Active Duty employment...

  23. How many schools did everyone apply to?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    OK, now you got me worried. I checked my last bill from USI and it was $2,185.20 for 9 semester units = $242.80. I haven't got the bill for Spring 09 yet. Were you told the fee's are going up or...

  24. Online program recommendations

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

    A bit of a stretch for sure, but I fell short in citing examples where people wantonly and openly discriminate against others and make such outrageous and unsupported generalizations while claiming to...

  25. Master Degree in Nursing

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What?!? Are you asking me to cite evidence or support my statements? Congratulations, and I invite you to stay on the path of enlightement regarding asking for evidence in support of statements....
