  1. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A good read is "The Social Transformation of American Medicine--The rise of a sovereign profession and the making of a vast industry" by Paul Starr. In his book, Starr identifies the disgusting and...

  2. Nurse Practitioner and Image Interpretation

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to cbott1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you are looking for semester units, I'm not sure. If you are looking to learn about X-Ray reading, here is one possible path. I ordered "Essentials of Radiology" by Mettler and "Accident and...

  3. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The only chasm here is between your lack of credentials, knowledge, training and education in the nursing world and what you purport to know about the nursing profession and nursing practice. It's...

  4. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    just curious, are you starting to see the positive and linear relationship between the rhetoric you espouse and the continual and progressive advancement of independent np practice in states across...

  5. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good observation. Follow that line of thinking. Ask yourself these questions: 1. Is the nursing profession owned by physicians and the profession of medicine? 2. Is nursing a separate...

  6. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks much and good to hear from you! Haven't posted for a bit because I've been so buried. I did kind of expedite the deal. I doubled down on two courses and transferred in one of my electives. I...

  7. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's what we call a "signature." Do let me know if you need more help in identifying message elements. Dr.

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    After you complete a DNP program, do let us know if you feel the same

  9. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks much, but with over two decades in health care, I'm pretty confortable with what I know, and humbled by what I don't know. Moreover, I don't call myself "doctor"...others do. Welcome to the...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Pete495's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not all doctors oppose NP independence. In my graduating DNP cohort, as an example there are around 40 doctors (100%) in that class who all support NP independence and are chomping at the bit to act...

  12. Do physician attitudes online against NPs reflect real life?

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

    Actually, the NP role was developed by a nurse--Dr. Loretta Ford. Dr. Silver, a pediatrician, was an important element, but not the primary driving

  13. NPs With Admit Privileges?

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

    As a reservist NP I have independent privileges with Madigan Army Medical Center in Washington and independent privileges with five other Army reserve sites in

  14. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

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

    I'd do the same but there needs to be a few advocates for nursing on a nursing

  15. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

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

    Which country is this? I want to move there so I can "hop right in" and earn the "big

  16. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

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

    Almost forgot. I totally agree. Physicians are in NO way, shape or form equal to nurses. That's why nursing remains the most trusted profession in the country and why physicians are further down on...

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

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

    I think most agree these comments way exceed a healthy debate on the DNP and well encroach a hostile attack on the profession of nursing, nurses and its direction for credentialing. Instead of...

  18. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

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

    I'm curious. To what extent will moderators allow slamming of nurses, nursing, nursing credentials and nursing values on this nursing site? I have yet to see the

  19. practice without physician involvement?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to krazyhopnurse21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    unfortunately, the comments made by picupnp, and many other bashers of np's, np education and np practice underscores a belief system that is the largest barrier to patients access to np care...

  20. practice without physician involvement?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to krazyhopnurse21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is never too late to change. If nursing is not serving you or your patients, perhaps switching to the medical field might be a more favorable and inline with your system of beliefs. Your views...

  21. Need a FNP!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jkpowell23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A better way to go about this is hooking up with your local state NP association, attending a meeting and asking someone

  22. An Online MSN -NP program?

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

    Sorry, I'm not aware of any NP school that doesn't operate like that. I think most on this board could agree that information comes fast and furious in any NP program--like drinking from a fire

  23. practice without physician involvement?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to krazyhopnurse21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Could you let us know which NP school you say you went through that had

  24. practice without physician involvement?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to krazyhopnurse21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How sad. So, just so I'm clear--as a member of the profession of nursing: You reject the nursing framework that posits that human beings are more than the sum of all of their parts (Martha...

  25. practice without physician involvement?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to krazyhopnurse21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm curious, when a dentist writes orders, diagnoses, prescribes and manages the patient, do you think this is the practice of medicine and the dentist is a "medical" provider and not a dental...
