  1. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    msn10 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nicely done

  2. VA Nurse 3 Performance Assessment

    msn10 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Government, Military

    Oh the holy grail of VA nursing - the nurse 3. I can offer a little assistance if you are still looking to go through with this. I oversee 9 nursing faculty at the VA as part of an academic...

  3. DNP Fluff

    msn10 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Are you a PA? It does not appear so in your title. The reason I ask is because I sit on a university curriculum committee and I am very aware of what a DNP is required to learn and I work with our PA...

  4. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    msn10 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not sure how this is a good thing. One of the biggest "pro's" by many NP's was being a "cost effective option" to physicians to combat the rising costs of health care. If an NP gets paid the same...

  5. DNP Fluff

    msn10 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think the DNP is another 'Buyer Beware' situation. My DNP had no fluff classes. Every class I took prepared me with advanced assessment, advanced pharm, advanced patho, etc., and then translational...

  6. DNP Fluff

    msn10 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That is misleading, he is the lead donor surgeon meaning he only "operates" on people at the organ donation phase - after cardiac death. Although he does teach....

  7. Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

    msn10 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the kind words. I absolutely love teaching. To respond to your comment, It depends on the preceptor experience. I run a post baccalaureate nurse residency program through the university I...

  8. Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

    msn10 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    OP We all started nursing school with some specialty in mind, and I applaud your passion for NICU, but bare with me for a second. I went into nursing school because I ABSOLUTELY wanted to be a NICU...

  9. RN-BSN SCAM

    msn10 replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sorry Tiffany, It is like watching an accident happen, you know you should look away, but it is just too shocking. Actually, that is the exact opposite. Who do you think creates CEU's? I have...

  10. RN-BSN SCAM

    msn10 replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Disengage and don't waste my valuable time? Got it,

  11. I'm 31 married with a 2 year old. Am I too old to start fnp program?

    msn10 replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If 31 is too old then I am

  12. RN-BSN SCAM

    msn10 replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    One, Aiken is not the only one to look at outcomes and not what hospitals are solely basing their decision on. And two, you have to have experts create a research study. Content validity requires the...

  13. RN-BSN SCAM

    msn10 replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No, I know you are not. I agree with BostonFNP. Until you produce real studies backing you opinions then you are just ranting. If BSN's are so terrible, why are hospitals spending millions of dollars...

  14. RN-BSN SCAM

    msn10 replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You have your opinion, and I have mine. The nursing students in the university I teach in are the brightest, most sought after graduates in the state. Our CON prefers to have more professors and not...

  15. RN-BSN SCAM

    msn10 replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your rant is just that, a rant. You have not added anything to the conversation but an opinion on what you think may happen from what sounds like a very few experiences. You have no idea what "niche"...

  16. RN-BSN SCAM

    msn10 replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Wow. Completely unfounded and naive in-and-of-itself. I started as an ADN and completely see the difference, not because I eventually gained a DNP, but because if you go to any nursing conference, if...

  17. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    msn10 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of the reputable programs do not allow a direct entry program for NP's only. They do get an MSN, but these are actually an undergraduate program, after a successful completion, they can go onto...

  18. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    msn10 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a nursing professor. I teach 2 classes for the direct entry nurses. In our program, like many others, they already have an undergraduate degree in a science field. These student are far from...

  19. Private practice as a CRNA

    msn10 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The entire point of a DNP is to be able to advance clinical instruction AND increase interpretation and implementation of research into practice. It is not just about reducing the time it takes for...

  20. Private practice as a CRNA

    msn10 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How in the world is the PSH making more money for anesthesia? More and more MD's are becoming hospital employees, and the PSH is adding time to their schedule and producing less billing time. Most...

  21. Private practice as a CRNA

    msn10 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    wtbcrna You are right, we can debate all day. However, you are taking the exceptions to the rule when saying that an anesthesiologist's CBY is useless and that one MD you knew did a ENT rotation. And...

  22. Private practice as a CRNA

    msn10 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Of course it does, anesthesia is heavily based in science. It is the foundation one needs to advance. You can not understand pharmacology without a basic understanding of chemistry and anatomy....

  23. Private practice as a CRNA

    msn10 replied to oobray's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The first 4 years in an undergrad are not useless. They weed out the poor students from the week ones. It is much harder to get into medical school than in nursing school. You can't expect to be a...

  24. RN-BSN SCAM

    msn10 replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is the exact difference between an ADN and a BSN, the basic understanding of EBR/EBP, leadership training, community nursing, and additional nursing classes. People may get some of this...

  25. No more rudeness!

    msn10 replied to WheatGerm's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dear OP, I don't not think the GN's you sat next to are reflective of just nurses, they are reflective of this society in general. We have become an extremely judgmental society. From reality TV to...
