  1. CRNA Threat

    I would like to add that there are medical schools online as well. I have worked in the ICU with residents that completed medical school online...so how is NP schools being online a slap in the face...
  2. NPs practicing as DRs

    I am glad that you went to a DNP program that is improving our profession. I think that whole issue is that most are not. Most have no basis in the clinical arena at all. I looked into 5 DNP programs...
  3. NPs practicing as DRs

    True.
  4. NPs practicing as DRs

    My opinion on titles (regardless of if you're a physician, nurse, ancillary staff, whatever): worry about taking care of the patient, not about what you're addressed as. I personally introduce myself...
  5. NPs practicing as DRs

    I haven't heard pharmacist or PTs refer to themselves as doctors either....actually at my last clinical site the NP I worked with said that the practice she worked at had a DNP working there prior to...
  6. NPs practicing as DRs

    Oh okay I see. I didn't realize there were CRNA programs that are only DNP.
  7. Let's me guess...AP nursing flooded too?

    It would be so cool to open up your own office. Hopefully there will be a good job for you to get some experience in first before you make that
  8. NPs practicing as DRs

    Amen Nursegirl2001. It is just causing division and more confusion. Too many tracts to be able to the exact same thing clinically. I.E direct entry MSN (just learned about this today on here), MSN/NP,...
  9. NPs practicing as DRs

    PMFB-RN question, question for you. Your friend had to get a DNP from the hospital you guys work at? They don't offer a MSN/CRNA? (Unsure of the proper terms). I thought the deadline for CRNA's was...
  10. NPs practicing as DRs

    Lots of fluff in the MSN programs too, but the fluff does not take place of the hard core stuff. I think they do that because it keeps it nursing. I had no idea that CRNA's had fluff too. Makes me...
  11. Best NP or PA Route- Opinions Please!

    Well since you are accepted into the ABSN and Direct entry MSN and neither are calling to you, I'd go with PA. Its 2 years, you will learn medicine and I think you will be happy. Dare I say that PA/NP...
  12. NPs practicing as DRs

    You have a valid point, especially with CRNA's. They are in school for 24-28 months straight for 50-60 hrs a week in clinical and the rest dedicated to studying, they should earn a higher degree then...

    What
  14. NPs practicing as DRs

    Amen Cara. Good point. An you are NOT calling yourself a physician, but a doctor (teacher) of nursing practice. I can respect that and I see why you would introduce yourself that way. And you know...
  15. NPs practicing as DRs

    Well said Hoosienurse. And studentdoctorbe is probably very right. Idk why but some nurses do mistreat med students and Residents and docs and their fellow nurses/nursing students. The sad fact is...
  16. NPs practicing as DRs

    Wow, I read most of the post and I can truly say I have learned quite a bit about the DNP program. I think the biggest problem with nursing all together is there is no consistency. And the DNP is sort...
  17. Clinical hours question, how many?

    Hi, at my school we had to do 720 hrs but I am doing FNP. What state are you in? I have never seen an hourly requirement prior to applying for a job. In Michigan the state board requires 500. But you...
  18. Took the Nclex this morning...

    YAY! Awesome
  19. Applied for new NYU FNP program may 2012?

    Yes, I am finishing up school now. I finished all my clinicals (YAY) and now I have a lil down time to come on this site and read about the boards...idk if I am trying to scare myself half to death or...
  20. Applied for new NYU FNP program may 2012?

    When will you find out if you get it or not? It should be a good experience. I personally have loved FNP school and I wish both you guys the best. Hey, In NY do you have to get your DNP by a certain...
  21. FNP or WHNP

    FNPs perform tons of women's health services. Paps, prenatal, endometrial biopsy, IUDs and etc. They can do everything but deliver a baby :). I would go with FNP because womens health may be limited...
  22. Unreasonable request

    Wow, that is so nice! I go to U of Detroit Mercy. Gotta find your own clinicals. My youngest baby was 10 months old. I have had some newborns myself though, lol. Does that count? Saw my kids...
  23. Unreasonable request

    I agree. She could have at least tried to learn. And I love the kids too. I will be an FNP in a few weeks (praise God) and I really cant wait to work with kids. I love um so much, and I just want to...
  24. Unreasonable request

    Dang, lol. Go girl! Good for you. Enough is enough. I am happy someone is doing something about the
