  1. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Do the advanced positions pay more money? If so, then you misrepresented yourself before. The BSN is worth the extra money because it qualifies you for positions that pay MORE money that an ADN is NOT...

  2. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you want the discussion to be that general then my opinion would be that the answer is no. I don't understand why it would be sufficient to have a masters degree and practice now, but for there...

  3. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The question really is, what is collaboration? In most states it is some useless after the fact chart reviews that don't mean anything in primary care settings. I would agree with you, the DNP isn't...

  4. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I suppose that I could agree with most of this. I would say that I believe extended roles are good for the patient. That is putting the patient first. What I am talking about when I say independent...

  5. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Then why get the BSN? It obviously added no value at all and nobody wants to pay anything extra for it. I guess my question is, what is the point in

  6. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    My point is that a nurse practitioner has enough education to manage this. You obviously just don't comprehend the argument. If a certain level of education is adequate to do the job, then any...

  7. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You obviously do not work in primary care, so what would you know about it? Family practice sees the most complex issues from the very beginning, however when the issues are complex, the important...

  8. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i couldn't agree more with your last comment with the exception of the fact that i don't need to make np education seem adequate. it already is. like i said before it is being proven out in practice...

  9. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Your post here just further proves my point. You think that what I mean is that nobody needs additional or heavier education. What you don't understand is that generalists don't need that much...

  10. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    this is a recurring problem that the public needs to start to come to grips with. they often get no additional value for the increased education, but they pay a whole lot more. i say the physician is...

  11. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I understand that you think the courses aren't useful, but that is just your opinion. As far as raising concerns, how is it a concern when the masters degree already prepares a nurse practitioner for...

  12. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Jstand replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Trust has a lot to do with healing, but that is besides the point. Training and knowledge don't go half as far as experience and wisdom in any profession. Just because someone has more training, that...

  13. How will Health care reform affect me as nurse practitioner?

    Jstand replied to cruisin_woodward's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have often thought that a DNP is much better of being a generalist than specializing. I know that there are lots of NPs that do specialize but it seems to me that it is a field that lends itself...

  14. How will Health care reform affect me as nurse practitioner?

    Jstand replied to cruisin_woodward's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What you are failing to see is that there will be market forces at work as this plan gets implemented. There is a requirement to obtain coverage and what I believe we are going to see is young people...

  15. How will Health care reform affect me as nurse practitioner?

    Jstand replied to cruisin_woodward's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    From what I understand, the medicare fix is not going to be passed. Providers are budgeting for it to lapse in October as currently scheduled. It is also my understanding that this would be a cut of...

  16. Healthcare Reform and Nursing: APN 'Filling the Gap' for Primary Care

    Jstand posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Interesting article with some good information about APN roles under the new healthcare system. Includes some insights on APNs filling the gap for primary care. I believe that these will be major...

  18. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Jstand replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Haha, haha - is that your clown impression? If you aren't a med student or a physician, then what exactly is it that you do? Why are you so insulted by my observations about physician's obvious...

  19. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Jstand replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Those aren't insults, those are just the facts. They do cry, they don't comprehend, and they don't think. It is obvious that you subscribe to the teaching as you aren't able to think critically about...

  20. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Jstand replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I never insluted anyone. You are the one who is hurling the insults here. You are making the assumption that you will find the same results in the larger sample size, but you know what assuming makes...

  22. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Jstand replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Laughable. There were only 9 nurse practitioners, isn't that who you are trying to draw conclusions about? Why don't you go ahead and just admit that you haven't a shred of evidence to prove your...

  23. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Jstand replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I guess they don't teach such things in medical school. Seems as though our friend wowza has been taught in medical school that as long as you like the results, having a stasticially invalid sample is...

  24. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Jstand replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There is no implication because the sample is not large enough to be statistically valid. The interpretation of the results says nothing about the tests being unecessary. You are using flawed logic to...

  25. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    Jstand replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Do you notice the med students can't admit when they are wrong? You spew all of this argument about how people shouldn't study statistics, and then I prove to you that you can't interperet the science...
