   Amen, sister! ...er, or brother!

2. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

   Idaho4me replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

   "They would reject that idea, sure. In reality though we delegate to those specialties, not the other way around. Remember that we are the patient's advocate, no other profession can say the same. You have not answered my question, "What is the di...

3. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

   Idaho4me replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

   Wow. That's interesting. Perhaps, historically, nursing had performed say physical therapy functions. However, I can assure you that they would reject the idea that they fall under our authority or for that matter even know what a NANDA care plan i...

4. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

   Idaho4me replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

   "What do you suggest we change to? If we simply follow medical diagnosis, how can we be regarded as anything but a physician's handmaiden?" I suggest we don't change to anything. In healthcare, all disciplines must speak the same language, especiall...

5. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

   Idaho4me replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

   TothepointeLVN- I absolutely agree to the value of learning nursing interventions. That's the fundamental skill set of nursing. The nursing care plan is useful also to a certain degree, but I think that could use some revision. The argument is ofte...

   i've been an adn for 16 years. recently, i finished my bsn and now am through my first year of a dnp program. like most students, i struggled with learning to understand a nursing diagnosis during my adn schooling. since that time the term has cro...

7. NPs, PAs, and Retail Clinics - News

   Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in NP

   Sounds more like a press release for the clinic operators. The comment by Mr. Henick is clearly a jab at the competition.

8. NPs, PAs, and Retail Clinics - News

   Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in NP

   I wonder where Mr Henick gets that idea. The article states 2 of the original 4 failed. Only one of the expansion sites will be in a lower income area. I guess I'm not seeing the "big reason for our success" is the MDs.

9. NPP news from the PA side of the aisle

   Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in NP

   I think it's a little ironic that a radiologist is complaining. I worked as a RN in a radiology department. I've never worked with a group of MDs who could be classified as patient PHOBIC as this group! The growing success of mid level provider's is...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in NP

    Lets not forget if M4s were to practice, PAs are out of work also. PCPs are not lacking patients. There has been a PCP shortage for quite some time. More than enough patients to go around and more to come if universal healthcare comes to be. Please...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in NP

    Why do you think these studies were even done? Its exactly the questions you raise that produced these studies. Even in the face of hard science, you still want hold you ground? What exactly then would put your mind at ease?

12. Don't Hate Me, All....

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in NP

    The outcomes validate the independent practice. See my post No.27, even if you throw out all the studies published in nursing journals (we all know they're biased), respected MEDICAL journals surely would be looking for poor study design/research m...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in NP

    I considered NP and PA schools for years while working as an RN. I have a MD father and a PA brother. We have spent countless hours going over the pros/cons. Here's the breakdown: Medical school --I'm 41, not realistic to be admitted, length of tr...

14. Don't Hate Me, All....

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in NP

    I'll say it again. Show me the studies that indicate the NP training is produces outcomes inferior to MD or PA. My earlier post in this thread lists multiple studies that provide the evidence that the NP training produces outcomes similar to that o...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in NP

    Yeah, that DNP needs some work on her introduction for sure. She's qualified to do the exam. She has a doctorate. But by your description, she does leave a lingering cloud of confusion/deception in the air. I would have taken this a an opportunity...
