  1. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

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

    Very aware of how to read, interpret, and write research articles - I have been doing it for years. But limitations such as "small sample size, or homogenous sample, etc." are much less invalidating...

  2. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

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

    Validity is validity when applying it to a sample or an entire population. The limitations I provided were self-proclaimed by the author group which actually goes right to the meat of their analysis....

  3. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

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

    belljar1995, if you are in fact a PhD, you should really tell the whole truth with that article. The limitations were very significant and did not differentiate between NP and MD practice "When...

  4. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

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

    False. Getting back to the original OP, you can go to nursing school with a handicap. The school must make every reasonable allowance for you to go to school. It is clearly stated in many disability...

  5. RN-BSN SCAM

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

    If people do not see the difference or advantage of getting a BSN, then they have only been exposed to the poor programs. We cannot possibly expect to be on the same level with any other healthcare...

  6. CRNA profiles

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

    heatherisbetter I am part owner in an anesthesia group. Here, pay is not determined by years of RN experience. Our CRNA's make great money, not only with a starting salary of $160,000 but also because...

  7. Jane Fitch MD, prior CRNA, now Anesthesiologist elected president ASA

    msn10 replied to puppies'n kittens's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree. All of the MD's at our hospitals are board certified with fellowship training in either hearts, peds, neuro, pain, regional, or even transplant anesthesia. There is no question that these men...

  8. What School Nurses REALLY Do?

    msn10 replied to Kittery's topic in School

    I work PRN for a nurse at my kids' school (1500 students). The nurse is out this week so today: We had a small fire in the theater while the kids were performing and the teacher needed to use a the...

  9. Too good for poo

    msn10 replied to Nursesmurf14's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Before any write-ups occur or any HR is involved, have you checked with her first? Also, "very big ego and not a team player" What does that exactly mean? Trust me that can mean a lot of different...

  10. October 2014 Top 8 Captions - Help Select $100 Winner

    msn10 replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Didn't see this one till now, but my caption would be: "Oh, I see they are serving kale for

  11. Fix me NOW (but on my terms or I'll leave AMA)

    msn10 replied to HikingEDRN's topic in Emergency

    True Story - Christmas 2007 Patient in IMCU: "I am getting out of this ******* place. You people are all idiots. Like you know what the **** is going on." Me: "Sir, it is quite clear by your lab...

  12. The Influence of the Influenza Vaccine:

    msn10 replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    About 10 years ago, I had 3 flu shots in 3 years and every time I had very bad reactions, last one requiring hospitalization. I am glad that my hospitals do not require shots for those who cannot have...

  13. DNP seems like a waste...

    msn10 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Legally, only a one year internship is required before an MD can "hang a shingle" and practice, but I have never heard of an MD practicing without a residency. No one, but no one would hire them even...

  14. DNP seems like a waste...

    msn10 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This was only true of her in the beginning, and remember, she is the one individual who turned nursing into a profession. When she started, nursing was nothing more than a job for recovering...

  15. Bad Parents

    msn10 replied to KelRN215's topic in Pediatric

    Wow, I am so sorry for your patient. That must be horrible for you to witness. I started out in nursing absolutely sure that I wanted to be a NICU nurse or even peds, but honestly, I don't have what...

  16. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

    msn10 replied to rolexcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That is only for medical direction, you can still medically supervise which is based on 3 units, plus an additional unit if the MD participates in the induction and the CRNA still gets 50%. But of...

  17. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

    msn10 replied to rolexcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, I know the model, but I don't think that is a consideration. I am sure that will change with a strong lobbyist or two. That is what they said about virtual ICU's as well. "Couldn't be done."...

  18. PhD in Nursing Programs

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Did you find a program that you like yet? Do you have a specific area you would like to focus on for the PhD? I am currently working with a PhD student who is in the military through UVA, but one of...

  19. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

    msn10 replied to rolexcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  20. Is there really no way to refuse a mandatory flu shot?

    msn10 replied to tariqblaze's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do not like wearing the mask and gloves either, until recently that is. I can't get the flu shot so I always wear masks and gloves as well. Recently in one of my hospitals, there was an outbreak of...

  21. how to get a job as flight nurse

    msn10 replied to vinsanns888's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    A zillion years ago, when I was applying for flight nursing jobs (ok, maybe 17 years ago) I called the flight nurse supervisors directly and asked them what they were looking for. They tend to be...

  22. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

    msn10 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    First, I thought you were talking about Family practitioners. Your MD's vs. NP argument is way too broad. However, the NP does not have a surgical equivalent, at least not that I am aware of in the 6...

  23. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

    msn10 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not to be ticky-tacky PP, but a family practice doc does 4 years undergrad, 4 years med school, and 3 years residency. They only do a 'fellowship' (which would actually be a different degree not a...

  24. i'll probably get flamed to the moon and back for this but..

    msn10 replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    That is plenty good for us and congratulations on your accomplishment. We are not talking about driven men and women like you, we are talking about the ones who are in school and are happy with the...

  25. ARNP program with low undergrad gpa but high ASN GPA?

    msn10 replied to bsartor's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Was there any reason that your GPA was so low? All NP programs that I know of want applicants to write a letter or essay stating why they believe they can be successful in a graduate program, so can...
