  1. Duke's distance ed ANP or FNP programs

    NurseKJ replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I spoke with one of the faculty via phone a while ago. I live in maryland, and she said that wasn't a problem to do my clinicals in MD and commute to campus only for the required few days, ect, with...

  2. I need your input on a potentially life-altering decision...

    NurseKJ replied to Scrubs911's topic in General Nursing

    Pacu, Did you mean that 120 k is not a lot of money or not a lot for a CRNA? I don't really have a clue what new-grad CRNAs would make. -- I do not know much about CRNA programs (because I only...

  3. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Do you know that for certain? Have you seen on any BONs where they are planning to only offer licenses to DNPs after 2015? I personally don't think that would happen for many years to come. thanks,...

  4. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yes David, I agree... that's how I read it too. The last paragraph of the statement does contain some wording about requirement by 2015... Of course, if the CCNE (and if NLN follows suit) requires...

  5. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    At the bottom of that page is a link to the CCNE requiring the only doctoral degree that can be accredited by them is the DNP. (CCNE and NLN are the two credentialing bodies for nursing schools.)...

  6. I need your input on a potentially life-altering decision...

    NurseKJ replied to Scrubs911's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a thought (and something I have done/do). Look at local job listings in the area you wish to live/work when done school, and see what hours (and they sometimes list pay) are expected. Look at...

  7. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You are absolutely right SirI... sorry for the confusion. I thought that I was interacting with a Physician's Assistant-- as I am very interested in their point of view on the topic of whether NPs...

  8. Johns Hopkins Accelerated Acute Care NP

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

    Juan, Thanks for your input. I did not interrupt it that way, but that makes sense. I have requested info from the school. I will let you know when I find something out.

  9. Johns Hopkins Accelerated Acute Care NP

    NurseKJ posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey everyone, Has anyone applied, enrolled, or graduated from JH's accelerated acute care program? On their website, as long as your ANP,FNP, or GNP, you only have 3 required courses. It sounds too...

  10. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That's great for you foreverlaur. I did not say that ADN nurses were "poor nurses". I was at one time an ADN nurse. I believe they have great patient care. I also believe that the more education...

  11. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There is a lot of talk in the nursing community to discontinue ADN programs; the diploma programs are all but gone; and make the BSN the entry degree for nursing. Better nurses? hard to say. Better...

  12. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Forever Laur, This is a local PA program that I am familiar with (a family member was applying to this program). http://www.umes.edu/PA/Content.aspx?id=2428 Just an FYI of where I got some of my...

  13. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Forevr Laur, I was trying to say that PAs and NPs end up with (not identical) but comparable education. And please don't say that I didn't take biochem.. you really have no idea what I have or...

  14. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    NurseKJ replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Laur, Please remember that NPs are already RN's with a pretty intense education: Here is my "real" mid-level education: Pre-reqs for undergraduate nursing school: General Biology I w/lab General...

  15. Who attends (or attended )SLU's online NP program?

    NurseKJ replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Has anyone completed the post masters ACNP program at SLU? If so, how was it, and how long did it take?

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

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

    DG, I'm just wondering... are you a physician? Are you pro-nurse practitioners, just not pro- independent practice for nurse practitioners?

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

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

    actually, Ivan is right about the null hypothesis. I think you should check a stats or research text... "One may either reject or not reject the null

  18. Well-worn debate. Men in OB

    NurseKJ replied to nt28's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I, too, work with a male CNM (which means at some point he was a male L & D nurse). Patients seem to love him. I can't recall any male nurses on mother/baby or L & D at present- but again, I...

  19. Sleeping at night for Hospital-based NP?

    NurseKJ replied to ohsleepy1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why do you report to a nurse administrator and not the director of medicine. You have privileges to the hospital and practice under the medical director. So therefore, the medical director is your...

  20. Nurse Practitioner and Image Interpretation

    NurseKJ replied to cbott1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have found in my RN experience as well as clinicals as an NP in the ED, that even the most experienced and knowledgeable ED physicians read their own images; however, that said, they ALMOST ALWAYS...

  21. Education Advice Needed

    NurseKJ replied to Amy Kate 03's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    are you currently working an ICU, MICU, SICU, ect? One to two years is a requirement for CRNA programs. Masters in nursing, even in an NP concentration, are significantly different than CRNA...

  22. Please Help, please help!!

    NurseKJ replied to raindrop's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    oh, and I forgot to add-- just because you have adult or family certification, does not mean that you can't primarily or exclusively practice only geriatrics-- (family is birth till death; adult- late...

  23. Please Help, please help!!

    NurseKJ replied to raindrop's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was going to give the same advice as Tammy--- go to AANC's website- and look at the alternative criteria for taking the GNP certification. (any Acute care, family, or adult NP can do this). In...

  24. Surgery Center cuts IV lines

    NurseKJ replied to rovergirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If a patient were to truly need an IV line right before discharge, wouldn't it be more a liability to have an IV line that has been cut? And what about the patient who gets septic from MRSA and sues...

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

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

    This is a great thread, that I come back to to read from time to time. I am currently beginning my first of two graduate level research classes... I hope everyone who is practicing as a nurse,...
