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

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

    Thanks for the reference. Very curious. I wonder where this is heading with the other BON's? In Ga, as it stands now, or in VA soon, could a RN practicing in another state as a RC/EC graduate...

  2. Excelsior Grads - Where are they now?

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

    My bad. It was 94. That would be a lot of study time for the

  3. ISU or Excelsior? Pros and Cons ... ?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    All professors on tenured track have MSNs or higher. Here is a list at least 7 of the 18 adjuncts who who don't. There might be more. The exception for adjunct faculty made are those of us, like me,...

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

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

    Did I miss something? Is there some evidence out there from some research that suggests that EC grads are not competent or something of the like? I really don't understand where this hostility by...

  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

    Welcome to my life. As a Regents [EC] grad living and working as an RN in California (who also refuses to license EC grads, I feel the same

  6. ISU or Excelsior? Pros and Cons ... ?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Jasmine, I'm on faculty with ISU in the BSN program. As an EC ADN and ISU/BSN grad, I can honestly say that ISU and EC are two entirely different educational paths to obtain your RN. EC operates...

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

    Does anyone know what they

  8. Excelsior Grads - Where are they now?

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

    I'm so glad to see so many EC/RC success stories. I passed the CPNE in 3/94 and got my ADN in 5/04 (back when it was called Regents College) and RN in 7/04. Since then I graduated with my BSN via...

  9. How is school going so far?

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

    I'm right there with you. Check out Orem's Self-Care-Nursing Deficit Theory. Although grand, not too abstract in her concepts. Also, fits nicely with Henderson's definition of nursing (gold...

  10. Selecting a Grad Program

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

    I had the same thoughts. Here's my take. I have a 3.97 undergrad with my BSN and currently a 4.00 in grad school (MSN/FNP)-graduate in May. I figured with these grades I'm going to Johns Hopkins or...

  11. Why would people choose to go to a NURSE PRACTITIONER as opposed to a physician?

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

    Correct DNP's and MD's are different. DNP is a doctor of nursing practice and MD is a medical doctor. This is incorrect. Both DNP's and MD's have clinical-based doctorates. Both, I'm sorry to...

  12. FNP Admission Privileges

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

    Not in California. AB 1436, which would have provided a scope of practice for NP's, including admitting, died in committee. California still remains the only state where NP's do not have a scope of...

  13. What prevents a NP from opening up shop?

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

    If it's a solo practice or a practice concerning only NP's, I'm not sure how the term "medical" would figure in the title. Remember, NP's are not licensed by medical boards as a physician and...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to daydreamer7130's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just curious, are you at

  15. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Correct, because (at least in California) MD/DO are considered "physicians" that practice medicine and use the medical model as a framework for care. PA's (and I'm far from being an expert on PA...

  16. Quick FNP/PNP Question

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

    FNP's do care for infants and children as they are trained to do so, in the primary care setting. ER's are part of acute care and differ from the primary care setting (eg: ER is episodic without...

  17. Preceptors.. Please clarify?

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

    at usi you have to find your own. i would characterize the process of finding preceptors as being assertive with a borderline tempered aggressive amway salesman attitude. you have to be extremely...

  18. Quick DNP Comment/Question

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

    Tradition has a way of conceding to the dynamics of society. A few years ago, you would never think to greet your dentist by asking, "How are you today Dr. Smith?"--you would just say, "Howdy Smitty,...

  19. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Which profession is that? Nursing, or a subcomponent of medicine? With that line of thinking, why did you not choose medical school or stay a paramedic? Can you not help people as a physician or...

  20. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Really? Would you prefer and be more comfortable if medical boards licensed NP's? Would that make you more comfortable with the idea that medicine is truly attempting to dictate nursing and advance...

  21. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    No, not a nurse practitioner yet, but I'm sorry you feel this way. By indicating advance nursing practice is guided more by the discipline of medicine and not nursing only serves to disintegrate the...

  22. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    I'm not sure what your point is here. Physicians practice medicine and nurses, even advance practice nurses, practice nursing(please inform me if you are aware of any medical board in the country...

  25. Why would people choose to go to a NURSE PRACTITIONER as opposed to a physician?

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

    Some NP's are doctors. By 2015 all NP's will have to be a doctor to sit for boards. NP's provide a holistic approach to caring for clients and families--not medical model-based, "got a problem--have...
