  1. PA: Hahnemann RNs nix union bid

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

    Just as woodenpug said, this is just a protest due to their loss. They can't just bow out gracefully, blame has to be placed. The union was VOTED OUT. Thankfully these nurse's knew a bad thing when...

    PICUPNP replied to Epona's topic in Pediatric

  3. Should I do NP or DNP in the near future?

    PICUPNP replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The DNP will give you more clinical hours, but they are hours used in completing the research project (EBN) for the program. These will not be hours spent in managing patients. Get your NP. It is...

  5. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    PICUPNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    WHy is it so important for you all with doctorates to be addressed as Dr so-and-so? It seems as though all of this wasted energy could be put towards something more important. Instead, you all want to...

  6. PA: Hahnemann RNs nix union bid

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

    Fantastic! These nurses stood up for what they know is a bad thing and won. This is a great example of what nurses can do when they stand on their own two

  7. Considering FNP or PNP, Lots of Questions!!

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

    I have been in Peds for 12yrs with the last 9 in the PICU and 4 of those as a PNP. I have never felt as though my carreer has been limited. The PNPs at my institution do everything. I would hazard to...

  8. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The DNP is a sham. The additional education adds nothing more than leadership and additional fluff classes. Can anyone show how this makes a current NP anymore capable of providing excellent patient...

  9. What's on your lab coat?

    PICUPNP replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does your institution require the lab

  10. Englewood Hospital & Medical Center Locks Out Nurses

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

    I certainly do care but unionization is not conducive to the nursing philosophy. I think that ANY nurse that goes out on strike is abandoning their patients and should be summarily fired! All unions...

  11. Englewood Hospital & Medical Center Locks Out Nurses

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

    Just another reason to not unionize. It has no position in this industry. We do not need others to speak for us! Sounds like a money making opportunity to me...might just head north for a...

  12. The Great American Hospital Organizing Campaign has begun!

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

    It's definitely my opinion and that of some of the nurses, not everybody's opinion. I just think that its sad that people need someone else to speak for them. The union is not here and hopefully they...

    PICUPNP replied to allen06's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have been in the PICu at Cooks for the last 9 yrs with 4 of those as a PNP. It is an incredible place to work! The unit is 33 beds with 8 being dedicated to CV. We have a busy ECMO program as well...

  14. The Great American Hospital Organizing Campaign has begun!

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

    As a Texas Pediatric NP, i can honestly say that we are glad the union is NOT at our hospital. We have a strong enough voice ourselves and don't need others to speak for us. Its sickening that even...

    PICUPNP replied to nurse_clown's topic in General Nursing

    My wife speaks nationally on Animal Assisted Therapy and would be happy to share her expertise. You can send me a private

  16. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am actually embarassed by any of my NP colleagues who think they are equivalent to physicians. Once again, if you want to be a physcian then go to medical school. As far as being dishonest... all I...

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    PICUPNP replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This has become ridiculous. If we, nurses, want to be called DOCTOR, we need to go to medical school! No shortcuts. This has become likened to "beating a dead horse". I am a PNP and am totally opposed...
