What are the additional responsibilities and pay of a MSN PHN. Why have you or haven't you gotten your MSN?

I noticed that on some of the other threads that there are resources stickies for the varying specialities. Is it possible to get one for this thread? I did a internet search for disaster nursing but there did not seem to be much information.

I was looking at few NP programs online but none seemed to mention suturing or casting. I assumed that a NP could do so. Is or isn't part of the scope of practice? Thank you for your replies.

Is learning how to suture a basic part on an RN's training? Or, is it a part of C.E.? Is you used only in the E.D.? Or, other departments also?

I was finally able to get the answer. There is not a specific course for suturing and casting for a NP but it is covered is the " health assessement" courses.

Thank you.

Thank you for the latest replies.

I was looking at few NP programs online but none seemed to mention suturing. Might it be listed under something else besides suturing i.e. advanced nursing care?

Public Health vs Community Health; what's the difference? I was perusing a site and it listed nursing specialities with the two aforementioned ones. Is there a difference and if so what?

Thank you very much.

Hospitals, Clinics and Doctor's Offices what are the pro's and con's of each? Thanks for your responses.

What are some analogies that you might give been the two professions?

Thanks for the replies.

Again, as an outsider, the terms seem more political to me than a great divide of different paradigms. As I mentioned earlier to me it seems like the models are not different per se but different parts of of the whole. Nurses monitored/assessed patie...

Someone stated, and this is a paraphrase: that the ANA is more concerned about professional recognition instead of improving working conditions. Is that a fair statement? What would you prefer?

Thank you for your replies.

I really respect you who are in the nursing field. To the point that I will be giving up a career in overseas education to return to the States and join your ranks. The thread on " Should Foreign Nurses work in the US" brought something to light for...

I am a tad suprised by the lack of overhelming response. From all the griping I thought there would be more. Oh well.... Suzanne4, I hope that I have your luck in the job field. Was it a conscious choice to only be in certain environments or it just ...

While reading posts here, there seems to be more job disatisfaction than not. For those of you who are out in the field do you think that it is: 1) inherent in the job of nursing? 2) The environment ? 3) The demeanor of the nurse? Or, what do you fee...

Some posts here site that there are not enough jobs to go around while others say that there are. What is the fact of the matter? Where can I get accurate information? Thank you.

That's why I qualified my question.
