  2. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    menetopali replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    gee - i'm off the board a couple of days and miss pages and pages of material... the two requirements posted earlier for support were (correct me if i'm wrong on these): 1 - improved outcomes? NP yes,...

  3. Disturbed Energy Field

    menetopali replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    the fact that NANDA sees fit to use it is the professional embarrassment when we try to say that nurses follow evidence based

  4. Do you need hospital experience to function as a NP?

    menetopali replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i definitely recommend hospital experience - specifically ED experience (FNP) or ICU experience

  5. DNP's failing the test????

    menetopali replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    the degree will not solve anything on it's own, that is dependent on the content of the degree, but it will provide a mechanism to shift

  6. Disturbed Energy Field

    menetopali replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    i am well aware of the need, and importance of, appropriate documentation. "disturbed energy field" is not appropriate documentation any more than "possessed by demons" or "lost soul". the billing...

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

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

    while there is certainly ego on both sides, the reality is that perceptions matter. historically it has been medicine trying to dominate others in health care. your CRNA example is a good one in that...

  8. Disturbed Energy Field

    menetopali replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    the premise of "therapeutic touch" is the detection of an "energy field" that cannot be demonstrated to exist. that inability to demonstrate the "energy field" exists (and the demonstration by a 5th...

  9. Disturbed Energy Field

    menetopali replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    documenting a phenomenon that is not independently observable, independently testable, and part of accepted practice borders on fraud. if the facility is receiving federal funds for such services then...

  10. define nursing

    menetopali posted a topic in General Students

    i was in an interesting discussion and came up with this as a short definition of nursing without the theory garbage. looking for a little input on it before my next paper. "nurses manage the...

  11. Disturbed Energy Field

    menetopali replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    as with religious belief, faith, or the placebo effect, can do wonders. that doesn't mean it isn't helpful, but it isn't science and "disturbed energy field" has no more place in diagnosis than...

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

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

    great post Ivan!

  13. DNP's failing the test????

    menetopali replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i have no objection, and in fact support the idea, of having those who teach still being out in the field. This idea was pushed as early as the 1950s by L. Cristman but has fallen by the wayside in...

  14. Disturbed Energy Field

    menetopali replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    hate to point it out but this was disproved by a fifth grade science project almost a decade ago. insomuch as it provides psychological comfort to those who participate - fine, no objection, but...

  15. Please Help! Super short survey

    menetopali replied to MagsFree34's topic in General Nursing

    did it with extra comments - good

  16. Add your 2 cents: Public Comment on " Nursing's Social Policy Statement "

    menetopali replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    and that is precisely why i am not a member. it does not represent all nurses - it's de facto union status excludes nurses in management - the very nurses who are in a position to advance nursing; the...

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

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

    they have an objection to anyone using the term "Dr" without their permission and any NP practicing without paying a kick-back to a physician (AMA, House of Delegates H35.000). while they call it...

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

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

    hope you enjoyed dinner but most doctorates are four years in length. post-grad residency is not part of the doctorate but is part of the training evolution for physicians. now, if you would like to...

  19. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    menetopali replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    first, in many states (including Arizona) NPs currently work independently without any "back-up" from a physician and in many cases the "Doctor's office" is actually an NP's office with no physician...

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

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

    hey Craig - i'm putting off my Scholarly Inquiry Project right now for the DNP (the PhD-light version of a dissertation that looks an awful lot like a dissertation in form, length, format, and...

  21. DNP's failing the test????

    menetopali replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    first - the MSN was already longer than most masters degrees (as the BSN is longer than most bachelors and the ADN is longer than most associates) so simply extending the program without altering the...

  22. DNP's failing the test????

    menetopali replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I would agree except that the nursing "leaders" effectively created more of an issue by allowing non-APRNs to earn a DNP and by defining it as a "practice" degree instead of a "clinical"

  23. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    menetopali replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    if anyone want to be addressed as "Dr" they should complete a doctorate program. if they want to be called "nurse" they should go to nursing school, if they want to be called "physician" then they...

  24. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    menetopali replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    this difference between a ADN and BSN is very blurry indeed. most places i've worked don't have a pay difference between them. from the hospital view - an "RN" is the important part, not the ADN or...

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

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

    back to the "poorly designed study" claim are we? there is no study that i have seen (from nursing, medicine, public health, or public policy or any other field - international or domestic), has shown...
