To all you OR nurses and CRNA's; There has been a bit of a debate in some of our hospitals in town as to who should be running the show. As you know, the OR can be the busiest place in the hospital and I was hoping to get some advice/suggestions from...

Simply because MD's (all of them) go to medical school and CRNA's go to nursing school, not just for their undergrad, but the CRNA graduate education is done in a nursing college. The title anesthesiologist is the name given to a medical doctor just...

The entire point of a DNP is to translate the research, not actually do the research. Some DNP's do, in fact, lead research projects, but the degree was meant to have a deeper understanding of research so the correct evidence can be used in the corre...

I am not a huge fan of theory, but Nightingale was really a rock star. Just wasn't her theories, she was a master statistician and mathematician and she worked her tail off at Crimea. Some of the other ones are not worth their weight in water.

Bedside nurses have gone through quite a bit of training in many places as preceptors. My job before this one was creating preceptor workshops and nurse residency courses and I trained nurses all over the country. It was fantastic. There will be a NP...

NP schools are a lot more than you are giving them credit for. There are variances in school quality, but your sweeping statements are factless. I have seen a lot more physicians in favor of NP's than the opposite and if NP's were killing people at a...

Because my work and research in conflict management tells me otherwise. Are there people that do both? Sure. However, many people who do not like to speak up at work do so on these threads. If students get together and really start to demand a "bette...

I was just having a discussion today about the NP curriculum. This thread had me interested in asking. The NP's that I work and teach with said they would favor another pharm, but more of a pharm class that had to do specifically with interactions wi...

I don't want to speak for FNP, but from my point of view, I will talk about my experience in both academia and in practice. There are a number of people on Allnurses in general who use their own lived experience and use that to make broad general sta...

There are nursing programs that learn right along physicians as well, but neither is the same. CIM Good Doctors and Nurses - Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Medicine Again, you are giving a lot of opinions, and I don't know if you are a med stud...

I totally agree with you there. Nobody, Imho, should be allowed into an NP without experience, but PA's graduate without experience too. Be careful what you wish for. We can change internally, the AMA is not all it is cracked up to be either. My hu...

Get over myself? I have a responsibility to make sure my students don't kill anyone. You are missing the point. It is not about credit, it is about understanding simple algebra which I am sure you learned even if it was 20 years ago. It is not my re...

I require my students to do this "without credit" and without a calculator. If they cannot do simple algebra, then they should not be in the nursing program. I have 2 children in college, I hope for their sake they are not emailing their professors t...

If that is your main source of research, then that is a significant problem. And this thread is about DNP's, all of which have extensive education in research. Unlike a PhD they do not carry out a dissertation, but they take many of the same classes ...

Do you have a preceptor program for NPs? I know they are starting a couple in community and rural areas.

Again, biochem and physiology is given in undergrad but has no bearing on scholarly work. You have made it sound on more than one thread that you have quite the disdain for nursing education, but since you are not a nurse, I am not sure where you are...

First of all, thank you so much for being a preceptor! It is one of the most vital components to a new graduate's success. As for you comment about being scholarly, I completely agree with you. I work with nurse scientists who bring such knowledge an...

You think a NP should have more than 2 semesters? You don't prescribe nearly as many meds as a physician does and again, pharm should be in every clinical course an NP has. We have threads in our program, pharm is threaded throughout.

It seems everyone here is so focused on pharm courses. A physician usually only has one year of pharm. Why don't they have more? Because like nurses, they get pharm experience in every clinical they do. Pharmacology is just a starting point. I think ...

You design your capstone based on the specialty you want to pursue. Many are very clinical in nature. Ones my friends or colleagues have been a part of (I am not a capstone advisor): Provider Adherence to Evidence-Based Asthma Guidelines in a Commun...

You are right, but neither is a PA. A PhD is a research degree. A DNP is a clinical practice degree.

Way out of line. Every single MSN and NP knows what an IRB is and so do the majority of BSN's. That is a ridiculous statement. Of course you can, That is your weakest argument. Notwithstanding the fact that you just destroyed your own stance becaus...

Well good luck. I was there during teaching during the Ministry phase and I really liked it up there.

How is that place doing now? It has had a rough couple of years with all the transitions.

CraigB-RN Don't take my word for it, there was a nice presentation done at Columbia by a PA who got a PhD. This PA talks about the lack of PA research and the lack of translating research into practice by PA"s "emphasis of PA training and practice ha...
