  1. "I don't care if you are the father; if you don't know the last name of the woman who gave birth to your child, than you can't see her after visiting hours are over." I seriously had to tell a patient...
  2. How would you feel?

    Very true
  3. How would you feel?

    I am more confused after reading this entire thread than I was when I first started. However, saying you can't work nights will never get you any sympathy from nurses, especially those of us who had...
  4. NPs practicing as DRs

    I correct the statement to say Level II needs 20 minutes, but Let me clarify my statement, The teaching hospitals with anesthesia residents (not chiefs) need in house supervision by an MD which are...
  5. NPs practicing as DRs

    Hey I agree, I just see the point that we really need to decide on all levels what the entry to practice will be for both RN's and NP's. We are confusing everyone out there - us included. The cost of...

    That is not what I said. I said that a level I hospital must be
  7. NPs practicing as DRs

    'The reason I talked about this article specifically is that Franklin Dexter is a past colleague of mine. He was a consultant on a project I did in Wisconsin to make an OR more efficient. Oh...
  8. NPs practicing as DRs

    yes, there would be more, there just isn't enough to do right now. yeah, it is a valid argument. side note, i meant to say level ii has to be 20 minutes. a level i trauma is a hospital status and...
  9. NPs practicing as DRs

    You must mean the one in MN because the other ones that you stated that you worked at are not level I trauma hospitals. In any case, in a level I, MDA's must be available 24 hours a day and in every...
  10. NPs practicing as DRs

    You just got done saying that in order for someone to speak to you about DNP's being called doctor, then they in fact should get one themselves. For years, MD's have said that to DNP. Just making an...
  11. NPs practicing as DRs

    nomancrna I have read the article, but be careful before you start quoting Dexter, Franklin M.D., Ph.D., He is a brilliant researcher and his wife if a surgeon. He is known in anesthesia circles as...
  12. Conservative school for DNP?

    Since I am allergic to bees, I really should be running away from this hornet's nest, however... I think you will have a very hard time finding what you are looking for because schools get a great...
  13. NPs practicing as DRs

    Funny, that is the same thing anesthesiologists have been saying to CRNA's for
  14. NPs practicing as DRs

    i am saying that about 50 years ago the term 'doctor' only used to mean physician and phd. in both of these educational tracks participants had to do at least 10 - 12 years - full time - school and/or...
  15. NPs practicing as DRs

    i think your instructor is absolutely right. i work at a very large university/hospital organization and we have the resources to go dnp, but most do not. ironically, we still have our msn programs as...
  16. NPs practicing as DRs

    Yeah, to be honest, I don't know if there is a great deal of financial benefit for the NP. I would think that if someone wanted a terminal degree in their field then they would just get a PhD. I know...
  17. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Thank you PMFB!!!! nurseguy, Please re-read my post before you call me a "butt pimple." If you want to call people names based on their political views then your opinions will most likely be...
  18. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    How so? I said only white male landowners could vote. I don't remember learning that women or slaves (even those owned by the founding fathers) having the right to vote. When the delegates finally...
  19. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    I don't think we can even refer to the original constitution when assessing the feasbility and constitutionality of healthcare for all. As far as our founding fathers were concerned, only white, male,...
  20. NPs practicing as DRs

    i wouldn't agree that it is propaganda she is listening to since she is the one helping to create and then approve the program content, structure, and methodology and you have to do that on evidence,...
  21. NPs practicing as DRs

    Talking with our dean (of a very large nursing school w/ 6 DNP programs), and she said that the DNP idea rose out of a retroactive need to give credit where credit was due. Mainly, NP programs were...
  22. The hospitals are not going to hire you even with a pay cut. The biggest problem? New grads (less than 1 year experience) are too expensive because up until 2009, they had a 50% attrition rate. On...
  23. Hello Seton cohort, For those currently enrolled in the program, I was just wondering how your residency is going? Are you enjoying your classes? Do you fell the program is helping you to progress in...
  24. CRNA Threat

    One big difference. Nurses going to graduate school to become NP's are already nurses. They are getting an advanced nursing degree. PA's do not have any required healthcare experience before getting...
  25. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    This debate started because a Christian organization did not want to pay for contraception for their employees because of their religious beliefs. Although I do not agree, I understand their...
