    Full Practice Authority of Nursing

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The original posting postulated will more doctorates in nursing contribute to full practice authority for nursing. It didn’t ask will requiring a doctorate be needed for entry to advance practice....

    Full Practice Authority of Nursing

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well I appreciate your perspective as an RN. As an NP, I have different view point. It’s good that nursing is big enough for differing opinions. As they say, to each their

    Full Practice Authority of Nursing

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Why do you think hospitals, especially Magnet, prefer BSN? Education. Yeah they qualify for the same tests, but BSN is more time and more comprehensive. More time in school is more opportunity for...

    Full Practice Authority of Nursing

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Good point. Terminal degrees will be more costly compared to masters degree. I think more training and education for nurses will pay for itself in the long run. Just like comparing the BSN to the ADN....

    Why don't CRNAs have prescriptive authority like NPs?

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Okay. So it sounds like CRNAs can obtain prescriptive authority, many just don’t want it.

    Forced to Drop Due to Clinical Placement

    matthewandrew replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I wouldn’t change my path to PA if I had a choice. Nurses bring so much knowledge and experience to advance practice that PAs dream to emulate. The try to copy nursing’s full practice authority...

    Full Practice Authority of Nursing

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Tell that to medicine, osteopathy, podiatry, dentistry, psychology, etc. It’s not just parity, nursing knowledge is so expansive that the degrees nurses hold should reflect it. If nurses are the...

    Why don't CRNAs have prescriptive authority like NPs?

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would hope it would be included in their education as analgesia is within their scope of practice. My point is, CRNAs are autonomous practitioners. The ability to order and prescribe as opposed to...

    Why don't CRNAs have prescriptive authority like NPs?

    matthewandrew replied to matthewandrew's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not necessarily. Could be orders from the surgeon or anesthesiologist. If an anesthesiologist can prescribe, why can't CRNA? If full practice authority is the direction, I think this APRN role needs...

    More bedside needed to apply?

    matthewandrew replied to Mnstn's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree. I sure hope as healthcare evolves, so will the clinical competencies of DNP programs. Nursing practice just covers so many levels and facets of healthcare that’s standardization of the...

    The state of APRN education

    matthewandrew replied to DrCOVID's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think this is specific to NP programs. Right now the requirement is 500. Increasing is to 1000 would improve the quality of NP education. Schools need to be accountable to find preceptors for their...

    More bedside needed to apply?

    matthewandrew replied to Mnstn's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I wouldn’t describe DNP as nonclinical. It is a practice doctorate as opposed to a research doctorate. Some DNP programs are still clinical focus, depends which one you decide to do. I think the...

    I don’t think it will help. I would check the individual program requirements. I think what will help you stand out is if you are certified in your specialty. They take any background of

    Duke vs. Johns Hopkins DNP--Family Practice

    matthewandrew replied to Rural NP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I live in the West Coast so this is my perspective. Although it doesn’t really matter, I feel like Johns Hopkins is a more recognizable institution. There are more factors involved of course but...

    Feeling Lost As An NP

    very curious of supply & demand for NP & CRNAs in the future, any thoughts?

    matthewandrew replied to nursetobeat33's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Don’t worry about saturation, if there are people, there will be health issues and nursing will always be in demand. Just follow your passion. I love being an FNP, I have learned not only to take...

    Whatever happened to the Diplomate of Comprehensive Care?

    matthewandrew replied to alexamasan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that it was an interesting direction for nursing practice, which the profession was not ready to take. I think there is space in the future for this, just not now. As Nursing science advances,...

    Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    matthewandrew replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I believe advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) who have terminal degrees in Nursing (DNP, DNAP, PhD) should have their education and training be regarded by referring to them Dr. (insert...
