    Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    Yes... Did you also know that there is only ONE for-profit medical school in the US? This school opened with A LOT of controversy. Nursing has several. Matthew,

    Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    That's EXACTLY why we're having this discussion! I don't want NPs to be associated with an "easier" lifestyle. As medical providers, NPs and physicians are often compared with each other (no denying...

    Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    I am just very interested in starting up discussions related to the direction of advanced practice nursing. It's good to hear the perspectives and opinions of nurses and APNs alike. Although I am not...

    UCLA MSN Fall 2014

    matthewandrew replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Does anyone know how we retrieve acceptance, waitlist or rejection notifications? I think for acceptance, it will be through regular post. For the latter two, does anyone know if it is the same or...

    Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    I think you've drilled to our heads that the outcomes are equivalent for these providers. I think the direction of advanced practice nursing is guided by our knowledge base. Will NPs be stuck with...

    Passing but not learning?

    matthewandrew replied to Lizzle15's topic in General Students

    I attended a BSN program and was hired in a tele floor. I defiantly felt like I wasn't learning anything. In all honesty, you are being taught everything but only retain the basics during nursing...

    Just as important but less intensed?

    matthewandrew replied to astonish31's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, it's all relative. LVN is the best prep for an RN program. I had a hard time in comparison to students who were already LVN in out BSN program. It was such a struggle for me but I survived....

    Just as important but less intensed?

    matthewandrew replied to astonish31's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It was probably only easier because you already had nursing exposure in your LVN program. Matthew Andrew, BSN

    100k give or take? Are they serious? I hope students aren't that desperate... I hope it's a BSN + MD program with that price! Matthew Andrew, BSN

    Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    No one is denying your accomplishment. And just because we haven't practiced as NPs, we can't have an opinion regarding the direction of the profession? That is just backwards thinking. Matthew...

    Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    Or if you're going to pharmacy school... or dentistry... or PA... or optometry... or veterinary... or any other health science... We all know nursing is it's own distinct profession. But advanced...

    Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    I don't know why some nurses are so hostile to more education. The truth is, no profession should be stagnant. To advance nursing, we should look at what's working and what's not. Medicine, Dentistry,...

    Today I made a big mistake.

    matthewandrew replied to student-rn's topic in General Students

    In some programs, a nurse has to be present in the room if any med is administered, even colace. There wasn't a nurse at the bedside. Matthew Andrew, BSN

    Today I made a big mistake.

    matthewandrew replied to student-rn's topic in General Students

    To the OP, make sure you are prepared to express your understanding of what you did wrong, why it was wrong and what you can take from this as a student and as a future nurse. You seem to be very...
