  1. Online BSN to FNP Programs

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

    Perhaps you might wish to revisit the literature regarding the safety profiles of using ACEI's with asthmatics, as cough is not the highest concern. Because of the close and positive relationship...

  2. NPs in California

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

    Thanks so much for the link. And for those nurses who think we are in the "medical" field, here's something curious on the CMA's website: CMA-Opposed Legislation AB 1436 (Hernandez) - Nurse...

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

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

    The issue is that of competency, professional development, autonomy and ultimately accountability. Is a nurse practitioner competent to provide primary care? If not this is an education and training...

  4. Online BSN to FNP Programs

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

    Oh, almost forgot, #7. 100% pass rate on boards at USI (there's actually evidence to support

  5. Online BSN to FNP Programs

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

    I'm so sorry you feel that way. I would, however, like to invite you to revisit a portion of your advance-nursing curriculum regarding the concept of generalization with regards to making...

  6. Question about NP/DNP

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jla623's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It will be curious for sure to watch the transition for MSN/NP programs that currently allow a maximum of 5 years for program completion (all programs that I know about). To prevent students from...

  7. NP & MD equivalency

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    as i understand the debate rages on over the equivalency between physicians and np's, especially in the sense that soon we will all possess clinical doctorates-physician and apn alike. many have...

  8. 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

    :yeah::yeah: My favorite quote so far on

  9. Where is the best online NP program

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You certainly have a great background that will help in the transition. A bit off topic, but do you see many philosophies of nursing and the holistic nature of chiropractic

  10. NP & MD equivalency

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

    Not the same issue. If you look closely, the other posts specifically discusses differences between APN & MD training or the use of the title "doctor" in regards to the DNP. This thread concerns...

  11. Western University of Health Sciences

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

    I respectfully disagree. In my MSN/FNP program all courses are televised, streamlined and archived. Courses all have monitors where as you can ask questions during class via your own computer in...

  12. Where is the best online NP program

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Howdy Robin, I just called over to USI and have a bit of an update. The deadline for Spring 09 is Oct 1, 08. There is a bit of a problem though because the next starting class is actually full. I...

  13. Do you think NP's are "midlevels"?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why are NP's with terminal degrees (MSN for now DNP by 2015) with advanced NP certification considered midlevels? Does the affirmation and utility of this title suggest NP's lay somewhere in the...

  14. Frontier Clinical Bound

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to MidwifeMom's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  15. Where is the best online NP program

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The two years completion deal is considered full time. Don't let the units fool you. 6-9 semester units feels like 20 units undergrad. I've worked as an RN throughout the process. It is difficult...

  16. Do you think NP's are "midlevels"?

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

    In all fairness a BSN is required (except for master/entry programs) for FNP entry. How does the approx 120 semester units of ADN/Upper BSN coursework figure with direct

  17. Do you think NP's are "midlevels"?

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

    In keeping with your pattern, you are again misinformed. As far as the title "Doctor" for DNP's, out of all 50 states and DC there are only 7 non-enlightened states (relax, Georgia is one of them) by...

  18. Where is the best online NP program

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I could be off-base, but I think this is an Indiana thing. I know that ISU and USI MSN students only pay in state tuition, no matter where they live. I could be wrong, but I think Ball and Purdue...

  19. Do you think NP's are "midlevels"?

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

    Just curious, did you have to go through medical school after being a nurse for 20 years and consult with others to discover that the nursing and medicine are a bit different? And these fundamentals...

  20. Do you think NP's are "midlevels"?

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

    I agree and it sounds like you have experience to back that up since you have been through both DNP and MD training. Really? http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/443292 It scares me, too. Thats...

  21. FNP Online through USI

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

    I'm full time at ISU. Writing format follows APA for professional papers, and SOAP format for all clinical presentations. Make sure you review APA and have a solid base before you start. Exams are...

  22. Where is the best online NP program

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    At USI core exams are mostly online. You have to sign on at an exact time and are given anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute to answer each question. The scenarios are take home and you have 4 days...

  23. Where is the best online NP program

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I really like the folks at Ball. I almost went there but they have a deal where you can't finish in two years. It has something to do with their philosophy. I'm not sure if they have changed their...

  24. Where is the best online NP program

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nope, didn't forget. Everyone pays the same. I live out of state and pay the in-state tuition. That's why USI is so advantageous for out of state students. ISU is the same

  25. Do you think NP's are "midlevels"?

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

    Actually, that was my intent. What is dishonest is not stating the facts. Please let me know of a pathway where one can obtain their DNP in under 8 years. I'd really like to know. Oh, and as far...
