  1. practice without physician involvement?

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

    Check out the Pearson Report. When NP's get it together enough to collectively come together and reject the notion we are "medical" providers, "Mid-level" providers and/or "physician extenders"...

  2. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Actually, the real issue is patient's access to safe and affordable care versus physician profits. On one side, you have patients who need access to health care with over 100+ research products...

  3. Anyone apply to University of Southern Indiana?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to nikkif75's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Great school. I graduated last year from the FNP track. They have 100% pass rate on boards and everyone in my class was hired well before graduation. They also prepare you very well for going on to...

  4. what is the great debate about PA vs NP I've been contemplating

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to mom2twinsplus1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do a little bit of research regarding the nursing model of care and then check into the medical model, or allopathic model. NP's use the nursing one and PA's use the medical one. Which one sounds...

  5. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    As a former poster to a medical wannabe network who 86'd me for presenting truthful comments regarding APN literature in response to nurse bashing that is almost as prevalent here, I can only add that...

  6. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    No particular comment. Just thought this needed to be

  7. 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

    "the reasons why fewer students are choosing primary are fairly clear, says dr. marc berliant, chief of the urmc's general medicine division....foremost is salary. primary-care doctors are paid...

  8. What allows one more independence? NP or CNS?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to allsmiles2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To true. In California, the BRN "certifies" the CNS, but they are not eligible for a furnishing number (eg: Prescribe) such as the NP/CNM/CRNA. My buddy in Indiana is a DNP/Psych CNS. She had to...

  9. What allows one more independence? NP or CNS?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to allsmiles2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a California NP and this is quite a tricky subject. First, NP's as well as CNS do not have a separate scope of practice in California above that of a RN. Essentially, NP's in California are...

  10. What is the best RN to BSN online school?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to lecavalier4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I went through Indiana State University RN-BSN program. It's top notch. Now I teach there. It's good, quick and cheap. Professors are top notch and are not drama

  11. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is a very narrow vision of the spirit and tangible benefits from volunteering. I would say that better than 50% of the work that I do is on a volunteer basis. From working as a captain in the...

  12. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    And this is what Sutter is counting on. Where the unfairness lies is in the fact that they are still being reimbursed 100% off of whatever you are doing for the patient. It's not like they are...

  13. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

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

    What some fail to understand, and the AMA proponents hope to continue, is that when nursing theory guides, directs and informs nursing practice, then interventions performed are not medical...

  14. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

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

    Really? Perhaps you should revisit the writings of Levine, Rogers, Orem, Neuman, Roy and Porifice, to name a few. These individuals have provided a framework that not only guides practice, but...

  15. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

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

    Perhaps it's that "BS theory" stuff that has provided for NP practice, independent of physicians, in the vast majority of states while no states allow for independent PA

  16. Where did you get your license, KMart

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

    This is incorrect and inconsistent with standards. First, someone with asthma is not presumed to have an immune system compromise--this is a respiratory condition. Second, prescribing antibiotics...

  17. BS (outside nursing) and LPN - Considering NP

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

    As far as to the first part of the question, I would do much in the way of research and pick a program that meets your personal situation best. As to the second part of the question, I am not a...

  18. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No doubt. Kind of hard to believe this passed the Sutter PR people. I wonder what will happen once the media finds out how a greedy health care corporation is taking advantage of those new nurses...

  19. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    so, essentially, sutter is taking advantage of the fact that new grads are having a hard time getting hired and they instituted a new internship training program allowing them the opportunity to work...

  20. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey, if its this type of relationship you are looking for, I have a new grad program for cooking, cleaning and washing my car. Don't sell yourself short--you are not a telemarketer, counter helper,...

  21. Please Help, please help!!

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

    Geriatrics is definitely a good field. I would only recommend that you look back 10 years and ask yourself if you knew exactly what your interests would be today. Interests and goals are fluid and...

  22. Where did you get your license, KMart

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

    Almost forgot. A good way to turn a simple viral bronchitis into pneumonia is to take cough suppressants. With your asthma history, I would especially encourage you to obtain another opinion before...

  23. Where did you get your license, KMart

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

    I've had my share of angry patients where I've not Rx'd antibiotics. This anger is a multifactoral phenomenon. First, patients are conditioned over a life time to receive antibiotics whenever they...

  24. Collaboration-who gives us our rights?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In a word, but not a legal opinion,

  25. Duke MSN program

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

    Getting into Duke is a highly competitive business. I recently found out why. In the DNP program, they have never had any student not succeed in the program. They make it clear during orientation...
