  2. Spin off: how do you deal with DNP haters.

    PICUPNP replied to linearthinker's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  3. DNP in one Year?

    PICUPNP replied to patdaddy's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Is there a reason that you're going back to school after your master's? Job requirement? Etc? The dnp is not a requirement as many think it to

  4. frustrated with "fluff" in my NP program

    PICUPNP replied to Grnrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I haven't said anything about not treating patients with dignity. I think that should be pure common sense. We, as adults, shouldn't need "fluff" courses to teach that, we do need the same type of...

    PICUPNP replied to Aquadream13's topic in General Nursing

    PICUPNP replied to Grnrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    PICUPNP replied to Grnrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I guess all of your patients are in the medical field? If not, they have ZERO idea about standard or substandard care. These are concepts we learn in our training and apply daily to patient care. The...

  13. frustrated with "fluff" in my NP program

    PICUPNP replied to Grnrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would have a very hard time believing that any practitioner, PA, NP, DO, MD, could do their job well in their first year with no experience beforehand. With regard to a DO or MD not being ready for...

  15. INCREDIBLE CNA/NNOC victory in Houston.

    PICUPNP replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    PICUPNP replied to Grnrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree wholeheartedly! I went to a Peds Crit Care NP prgm at UPenn with no fluff! They cut it out! If I were to do this again, I would definitely have gone PA for no other reason than the education...

    PICUPNP replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Who gives a rats a** what the canadians think! Look how badly they've screwed up their own healthcare system. I think its shameful to walk out on patients in a strike, so

  23. Another Texas Hospital Goes Union

    PICUPNP replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The only positive aspect of unions in Texas is that it will be easier access to good money when they go on strike for one ridiculous reason or another! I hear working hospitals on strike is really...

    PICUPNP replied to Chico David's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would be interested to see how many nurses in Texas, who are unionized, continue to pay their dues after the first year? If I were a bettin man, I would say that the unions would start losing money...
