  1. Looking for an online DNP program.

    Cammer posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I will be completing my MSN ARNP program next year and I am looking to go on to get my DNP immediately following that. I am looking for a good quality online DNP program. Any

  2. Looking for an online DNP program.

    Cammer replied to Cammer's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thank you for the explanation

  3. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Cammer replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well said jazzymom. ...except that I believe the floor skills are a little better simply because of the additional knowledge that lead to better decision making

  4. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Cammer replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I had a different experience. I actually learned quite a bit more about nursing, clinically speaking and otherwise. I think that what you learn may depend as much on the quality of the program as...

  5. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    Cammer replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You can't generalize a conclusion from a single datum. You are talking about a single specific test score, and I am talking about overall general knowledge and commitment to a goal in reference to...

  6. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    Cammer replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    And I think a diploma nurse takes the same exam as well. I guess the difference lies in the extra couple of years of education, the extra classes in pharmacology and physical assessment, the extra...

  7. Changing an NP specialty?

    Cammer posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am currently enrolled in a program to become an adult health nurse practioner. I have recently been thinking that my choice of this program could be somewhat limiting in the future. What are my...

  8. Changing an NP specialty?

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

    Thanks! That sounds like great advice.

  9. Changing an NP specialty?

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

    Switching tracks is not a possibility at my current school since adult health is the only track they offer. A post-master's certificate would be a good solution I think. Thanks for the

  10. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Cammer replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There will ALWAYS be jobs available. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But one thing that you must never forget is that the people who are at the top of the game will never lack for a job. The trick...

  11. How do you feel about the NP "haters"?

    Cammer replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I completely agree with the idea presented above where this is a non-issue in real life. People who make negative postings on the internet represent a minority of those in real life. Don't worry...

  12. Polling our male nurses: What area of nursing are you currently in right now?

    Cammer replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've been in critical care for years. Recently I switched into the ER. So I guess I fit the stereotype. Within a year I should be full time in education. This poll would have more meaning if we...

  13. Who HATES the term MURSE?

    Cammer replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    While I am not insulted by the term "murse" I feel that its really not that funny. Nor is it very relevant to my profession. Much like the term "male nurse," it differentiates between male and...

  14. Be careful of what you ask for....

    Cammer replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hmmm... well I have been a nurse for 6 years and I practice nursing in Florida which has a reputation for being one of the lowest paying states for nurses. After 20 years of nursing you are making...

  15. Would it be best to go for the BSN or ADN in my situation?

    Cammer replied to Kosis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm glad I could help! If you have the personality that would enjoy flight nursing then that is what you should go for. But you will need to get some experience before an employer will consider you...

  16. Would it be best to go for the BSN or ADN in my situation?

    Cammer replied to Kosis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I can't argue with that. One thing that I didn't get in my nursing prereqs was a chem class. I ended up teaching myself the chemistry that I needed to know for critical care, but in retrospect it...

  17. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Cammer replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thank you elkpark! That is a much more concise way of communicating what I meant. I was a bit too wordy in that post. As far as the additional education being meaningful or valuable, you are correct...

  18. Would it be best to go for the BSN or ADN in my situation?

    Cammer replied to Kosis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not sure that becoming a physician is the best choice in the current economic environment. Ten years from now you will have a medical degree, which might be nice, but you will have also...

  19. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Cammer replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I never mentioned anything about the work that an ASN or BSN does, and you never mentioned it either. We are talking about academic degrees, not the work one does as a nurse, nor obtaining a state RN...

  20. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Cammer replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is not a good analogy. An ADN/ASN is not a different route towards getting your RN, it is a stepping stone toward obtaining your BSN. A BSN program covers everything that an ADN/ASN program does,...

  21. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Cammer replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    After you complete your master's degree I would be interested to know if you feel the same disparaging way you do now about the ANA, professional standings, and educational needs. Getting an education...

  22. Do you identify yourself as a nurse when you or your family are a patient?

    Cammer replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    It could be perceived as threatening to those peers who may not feel comfortable with their skills, or who may feel that they are under a microscope, but personally I love it when a patient, or their...

  23. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Cammer replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It seems to also be frequently forgotten that BSN and ADN are only two of the possible academic levels available to nurses. There are many thousands of diploma nurses with an RN license as well....

  24. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Cammer replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It seems that you are implying that you are not an exception to the staff population and that any of the ADN educated nurses could do the same job that you are doing. You are right. That is very...

  25. MSN-educator online?

    Cammer replied to whitedoginwi's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No, I am not. But I can see this as a possible weakness in the program. I have been working in this area for many years and I have been able to build a great network of associates with varying skill...
