  3. Emergency Dept. NP... A few Questions

    1.) no, an emergency NP program isn't necessary to work ED. however, it is my opinion that any NP working in an ED setting should have some kind of emergency work experience as an RN or in EMS or the...
  4. ER NP's/RN's

    thanks jen! i should also say that in my urgent care job, PAs & NPs work the same position. in my ER job, there are only docs & NPs. not sure
  5. ER NP's/RN's

  11. Emergency Dept. NP... A few Questions

    hi- i didn't answer this at first, b/c i haven't been in practice in the ER as an FNP for 1 year (yet)- let me tell you my background & you decide if i can help: -12 years ER nursing -1 semester...
  12. ALL NP's PLEASE READ THIS!

    well....i disagree w/ just about every bitter word regret2004 wrote- especially the anti-NP comments. as an NP, i am very respected by staff, patients, PAs, and MDs alike in my jobs. imo, any NP who...
  13. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

    thanks for answering. i am still left wondering why you find it surprising gay men do 'hard work' like nursing? to me (and maybe i am misunderstanding), this sounds like you are making the assumption...
  14. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

    i agree w/ this. i would only add one caveat: with rare exception, i think when someone in an obvious position of professional power propositions someone much 'lower on the food chain' even one time...

    HBS- i just wanted to say that your posts didn't offend me at all. i'm just sorry you got treated so badly. your experience reminds me so much of what women went through (& still do go through...
  16. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

  19. Need ER nurse feedback

    nicely put! total agreement
  22. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

    hmmm... are you saying that gay males only like certain kinds of work? work that isn't physically challenging, in particular? taking it a step further- do you think of gay men as mostly effeminate...
  23. NP vs. PA? advantages?

    first i should admit i am biased toward NPs because, well, i am one! and i also want to add that i work with many fabulous PAs- we work side-by-side in the same positions, & i respect the...
  24. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

    hello ah life welcome aboard. i am going to suggest that maybe ah life has legitimate reasons to be asking this question. i don't get the feeling that the post was intended to be disrespectful...nor...
  25. i need some honest feedback
