  1. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I've never met a physician or a med student who has "cried" about anything. So who's right? Me or you? I'm going to go with me. If you're such an expert at stats, you should know that anecdotal...

  2. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Facts? Haha. You crack me up with your ignorant statements. You mean like nurses cry about physician egos, physician incomes, physicians standing in their way to complete takeover of medicine, etc?...

  3. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Haha, you never insulted anyone? What about the repeat attacks on med students' critical thinking skills, the snide remarks suggesting med schools don't teach you things, attacking "reading...

  4. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Pretty experienced NPs though (avg. 13 yrs). I find it funny that you're telling wowza that he hasn't a shred of evidence to prove his point when people on these boards clearly refuse to understand...

  6. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You mean just like they teach you in NP/DNP school how to be a pretend physician? If anything, it's the nursing community that's greedy. You're not happy with what you have, so you want more. You have...

  7. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Haha, pointing out the flaws in your "doctorate" is harassing you guys now? Btw, I'm not a med student. I'm just smart enough to know when someone is trying to BS me. It's extremely, extremely...

  8. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Actually, clinical does refer to the treatment/management of patients. Just because the DNP has more clinically relevant courses than a PhD doesn't mean that the DNP is a clinical degree. As myself...

  9. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Pointing out flaws in something is not complaining. You should really make a note of the difference. There will always be people criticizing the NP/DNP because there are huge number of flaws in these...

  10. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm confused as to why people on this site call it a clinical doctorate then and get all up-in-arms about calling themselves "doctor" in a clinical setting. If it doesn't further your clinical...

  11. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Both myself and a few others have answered this. You gain a very minimal amount of clinical knowledge/training by pursuing a DNP after an NP. The difference is really just several thousands of dollars...

  12. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dgenthusiast replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well, the thing is, some people (myself included) question whether the DNP curriculum warrants the title of a doctorate. It's very watered down and pretty much has the same courses an MPH has. I don't...

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

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

    Haha, where did I cry? Where did I show displeasure at the outcome? All I said was that the conclusion you reached was wrong and that the reason the courts acted against the AMA was not because they...

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

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

    You should reread about that lawsuit. There's nothing there about letting "consumers" choose for themselves what provider to go to. It mainly had to do with the AMA failing to present enough evidence...

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

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

    I think you're the only person I've ever seen say that physicians are overtrained. When the rest of the medical community is worried that even the current length of training might not be enough. I...

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

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

    Unfortunately a hospital is not a hotel. The primary goal of physicians is to make a sick person better, not cater to their every needs in hopes that their customer satisfaction rating is high. And I...

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

    dgenthusiast replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That would be true if the flaws were pretty minor. However, the flaws in the current studies are pretty significant. For example, one study measured a meaningless value (diastolic BP if I remember...

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

    dgenthusiast replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You mean like you, ANPFNPGNP, and efy2178 give kudos to each other's posts? And how you back each other up on every statement you make, no matter how irrelevant it is to the current topic (ie. sexism...

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

    Nope, not a physician. And yea, I'm pro-NP. I'm just against this push for

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

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

    Yea you either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. However, it was Ivan who mentioned something about proving/accepting the null hypothesis, not me. I was absolutely correct in what I said....

    dgenthusiast replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    you're manipulating what others are saying. either you're doing it on purpose or you're doing it unwittingly. i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're doing it unwittingly. i don't...

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

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

    Seeing a specialty as unappealing is beneath contempt? What about all the bedside nurses leaving the bedside to pursue advanced practice? Is that beneath contempt as well? The problem is that primary...

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

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

    haha, are you really quoting news articles as proof that med students/physicians are greedy? wow, i don't really know what to say. http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/300/10/1154 "...the items...

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

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

    You're right that the fact of the matter is that med students are less likely to choose primary care. But that doesn't mean you replace physicians with lesser-trained individuals. One could make the...
