  1. Is this even legal??

    Gentleman_nurse replied to blondie1887's topic in New York Nursing

    I went to Hunter but not for nursing. You will find inside the classroom the academics are great. Dealing with anything else is a pain. It even frustrates the professors at times. Keep telling...

  2. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

    Gentleman_nurse replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    For all those who want that extra science knowledge that medical students are exposed to (notice I didn't say 'taught') . Nothing is stopping you from learning the material yourself. Go buy used...

    Gentleman_nurse replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Laziness! BSN is an easy way to thin the

  4. Is this even legal??

    Gentleman_nurse replied to blondie1887's topic in New York Nursing

    I take it they contacted you after you submitted you deposit. If so this is wrong. An apology just won't cut it! You might have made some serious decisions based on this acceptance like quitting...

  5. New grad nurses are being allowed to rot: A reflection

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just got back from a job fair for military veterans today. A few hospitals were exhibiting so I decided to go. It's really cold out there for new ADN nurses! Nothing we don't already know but seems...

  6. New grad nurses are being allowed to rot: A reflection

    Gentleman_nurse posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  8. PhD or EdD?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Entravel's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I know this is an old thread. I was enrolled in an EdD program once. At the Doctorate level of education you are really learning to be a knowledge generator rather than a consumer through an...

  9. Why your local physician group is wary of hiring a new graduate nurse practitioner

    Gentleman_nurse replied to chillnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Chill Nurse I respect you opinions but have to rebut some of your assertions Contrary to popular belief in the nurse community, medical school is much more difficult than nursing school. It is but...

  10. FNP Education

    Gentleman_nurse replied to s_davison24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would like to get your insights on why you feel that way. Just curious. I attended both myself. Each has it's advantages. I found the classroom academics equal. Public was cheaper but you had...

  11. Hunter RN-BSN program, admission denied

    Gentleman_nurse replied to blondie1887's topic in New York Nursing

    Not to highjack your thread OP but this gets me angry. You're a RN (you said this May but that's close enough) and have a Bachelors degree in a related field that brings expertise to the profession...

  12. FNP Education

    Gentleman_nurse replied to s_davison24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hmm...I wouldn't apply that assumption to all for profit schools. The nursing programs must meet accreditation standards. Outside the nursing programs you may have point. I wouldn't rule out...

  14. Nurse Practitioner School vs Medical School

    Gentleman_nurse replied to mdaniel747's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The intensity level of college level academics is nothing close to medical school. I took medical school anatomy one summer and was hell!. Not that the material is of high level but the sheer mass...

  15. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

  16. Getting into nursing education

    Gentleman_nurse replied to ryan26's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I would suggest conducting information interviews at institutions that interest you. Maybe shadow a few educators to see what type of environment is a good fit for you. The type of educator you want...

  17. Can't Keep Looking at the Bright Side (I just want to cry)

    Gentleman_nurse replied to mountainaireNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't take the entrepreneur route off the table just yet. How far have looked into it? Are you just thinking about it or did you write business plan? You might be interested to know there are...

  18. BMCC Che 121 and Mat 104

    Gentleman_nurse replied to SunkissedRN2b's topic in New York Nursing

    I used to tutor chem at BMCC many many years ago. Fractions, decimal, percents, and solving for unknown variables is as complicated it goes. I found most students didn't have problems crunching the...

    Gentleman_nurse replied to dnsonthego's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have no issue with those who want an education for personal enlightenment. That's their business. It makes them happy. Live and let live. I have an issue with organizations that require higher...
