1. Any NP interest in an EM residency?

   pugdaddy replied to physasst's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   No, I'm only good at gross generalizations. But seriously, the variance of NP scope of practice from state to state, the difference in DNP programs and that right now there are only 4 accredited and...

2. Any NP interest in an EM residency?

   pugdaddy replied to physasst's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Why do you think it's like this? It seems to me like another macro level view of the doctor / nurse but more specifically the gender stereotype based struggle. Nurses (women) can't get it together and...

3. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

   pugdaddy replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Why would you wait for NEU if you got into Yale, MGH, or BC? That doesn't make any sense, especially since most of those schools have decision deadlines this and next

4. Any NP interest in an EM residency?

   pugdaddy replied to physasst's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I would attend in a heartbeat. Already, I'm thinking based on everything I've been reading and engaged in that becoming an NP/DNP is a huge mistake. Unless you follow a medical track, you will always...

   I too, give lectures to my cat and dogs. Also, it helps if I write or rewrite certain

6. Six months until NP school begins -- What to do until then?

   pugdaddy replied to pugdaddy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I donno. We'll see what happens. Why don't you ask on the advance practice message boards, the professional associations, the hundreds of schools seeking out direct entry students, as well as all the...

7. Torn Between NP and CRNA

   pugdaddy replied to RN in Bmore's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Honestly for me, I couldn't think of anymore more boring that sitting behind a curtain monitoring vitals. Sure, 180k a year sounds great, but it's like working in a prison: you may be at work, but...

8. Fellow Nursing DUDES

   pugdaddy replied to ORhopeful's topic in Men in Nursing

   I think the ED is best. It's fast, very exciting, and at times dramatically bloody. The best part is that there is (usually) no

9. Lack of male role models and excess of estrogen

   pugdaddy replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in Male Nursing Students

   Hey man ; It may just be your hospital. Everywhere I go, the nurses are always very busy doing medical things and the CNAs do most of the stuff you're describing. The foundation of nursing does come...

11. CNA Courses in Boston

    pugdaddy replied to pugdaddy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Jack / KoBrien ; Last week, I called every place listed in Boston and hit a brick wall. Jack, where are you working? Maybe they have suggestions as to who else hires/trains and what the contract...

14. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    pugdaddy replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I thought that NEU already had conducted their interviews. If you haven't been invited, your chances of being invited at this point are slim to none. In addition, from what I understand from people I...

15. Six months until NP school begins -- What to do until then?

    pugdaddy replied to pugdaddy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough. I'm entering a direct entry accelerated MSN program that includes a RN. Over the next three+ years or so I will get an RN and then an MSN for Family NP. Before even...
