    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    1) http://www.acponline.org/clinical_information/journals_publications/ecp/novdec99/hemani.htm Results. Resource utilization for patients assigned to a nurse practitioner was higher than that for...

  2. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Fine, let's use 65 hours a week. That still puts it right around 14,000 clinical

  3. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    an interesting study no doubt but with some massive flaws. first and foremost this study did not study how each provider takes care of actual patients, instead they interviewed the provider and asked...

  4. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yeah I think 18,000 may be a touch high. It is closer to 15,000 or 16,000. I have already posted on this thread that the minimum for 3rd/4th year is about 4200 hours at my school (most actually log...

    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    please post any one of these studies you think has solid methods. in terms of conflicts, i would like to see any study from someone who does not have a major interest in either side. that is the idea...

  6. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Haven't we been over this in about a million other threads. There are currently no publications with solid methods, done on complex patients and that are not produced by people with obvious conflicts...

  7. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    No they don't. In the MD curriculum, less than 10% of the courses in the first and second years are non-clinical. No hospital rotations (3rd and 4th year) are non-clinical. Here is the medical...

  8. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well let's look at Columbia's program since you aid to review it http://sklad.cumc.columbia.edu/nursing/programs/dnp.php Still, of the 40 credits, only half of them are clinically useful. So barely...

  9. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'll agree that the the DNP's extra "fluff" prepares someone for the same kinds of things an MPH or MHA does- health policy or leadership. The problem I have is that it is being touted as a clinical...

  10. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    wowza replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Back to the original question, what is the difference between NP and DNP? So I selected 2 programs that would be considered top tier hospitals and offer either the DNP or the masters level NP- Duke...

  11. Advanced Patho book?

    wowza replied to FNPdude74's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Robbins and Cotran is probably the gold standard advanced path/pathophys book. It is the one most medical schools use. here is the last edition. You dont need the most recent edition because you will...

    wowza replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61P07I20100226 I bet this is what they were talking about. It seems similar to many of the things we already use for flu like zanamivir and

  14. I'm curious - are you open to internet info from patients?

    wowza replied to mom2cka's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that it is a mixed bag when a patient brings in info from the internet. It shows that they are interested in participating in improving their health. For the most part I have found that the...

  15. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    wowza replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually my point that you keep creating strawman arguments is very valid. Especially since you have done it a few times since I posted my "tirade" about the inconsistencies of your arguments. Your...

  16. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    wowza replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Perhaps you do not know the context of the accreditation. The reason the LCME is so stringent is because in the not too distant past (turn of the 20th century), medical school education was completely...

  18. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    wowza replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    np (and pa) education is good for what they currently do, but i feel that if the dnps are pushing for equal practice, then at least they could beef up their coursework. comparing the two, the dnp is...

  22. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

  24. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    wowza replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is very easy to deliver improper (terrible) care and have your patient happy precisely because patients do not know what the right care is. All you have to do is take extra time with your patient...

  25. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    wowza replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is a strawman argument. Service is not directly measured by patient satisfaction! But yes, you can have happy patients and still deliver terrible care. Conversely, you can deliver excellent care...
