    Idaho4me posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Amen, sister! ...er, or

  3. 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....

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. 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...

  7. NPs, PAs, and Retail Clinics - News

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

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

  8. NPs, PAs, and Retail Clinics - News

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

  9. NPP news from the PA side of the aisle

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

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

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

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

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ." I am by no means saying EVERY issue in primary care is life and death, but often the clinical decisions made by primary care physicians include a broader differential diagnosis which results in a...

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

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The distinction between practicing nursing and practicing medicine may be trivial until lawyers and courts get involved. If a board of nursing oversees all things nurse, they can't very well allow...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    " Physicians are opposed to the DNP for various reasons, whether it's concern for patient care, turf issues, etc...regardless, these are YOURs and MY colleagues in patient care. I don't see what is to...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sounds like the PA pogram is the way to go for you. Its a long road in either program, from application through to board exams, to dislike or distrust what you're being

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

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're questioning whether to pursue MD vs.midlevel, then yes, I can see where you would be concerned about "hitting the wall" when treating pts. However, even as a physician, you would find a...

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is it ironic that PAs are considering a Doctorate program of their own?

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

    Idaho4me replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Rhetoric is right! I'm soooo tired of this endless debate. I'm also surprised by the pro-PA individuals that post to a NP forum looking for support. NPs have been around as long as PAs. From the...
