  1. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    What the hell?? When did I say becoming a nurse was the low road? My statement was: Shadowing MDs, I found that they spent too little time with patients and so I'd rather be a NP. Is it wrong of me to...
  2. one.two.three - were you on the waitlist? Congrats on getting off! And as for the interview, I think they are calling people as they go through. The lady I spoke to said interviews won't be finished...
  3. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    .......huh?
  4. To Current NPs and Students - Diagnostic Ability?

    Thanks for your response. So what you're saying is, generally, it seems NPs have about the same diagnostic ability has an MD. If the NP is stumped, the doctor is too, so their levels of education in...
  5. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    Thanks for your answer, but the two things I bolded in your post make no sense to me. First, did you even read my question? It says do NPs in THE SAME FIELD as an MD necessarily have the same...
  6. To Current NPs and Students - Diagnostic Ability?

    Ok, good to know. I have this thread going on in another room and had to simplify my question for better answers. So to all current NPs: How often does the average NP feel "stumped" when presented...
  7. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    Agreed, but I was hoping for more concrete answers. I.e. - "I can diagnose 95% of what comes in. If someone comes in with a strong headache and I find a spot on a CAT scan, I definitely don't feel...
  8. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    lol, I don't have a temper at all. The inability to offer inflection and tone on a forum leads to misunderstandings such as the one you just experienced. I posted in General because I posted the same...
  9. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    I've researched all about NPs, PAs, and MDs. I don't think an NP is like an MD. I'm asking for current NPs or NP students to simply give me an idea of how far in depth they believe their diagnostic...
  10. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    10 comments and you're the only one to respond to me! Thank you! Anyway - I am not trying to attack the nursing profession in any way, after all I'm trying to join it. Please understand that I am...
  11. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    Thanks! That's good to know, klbinuag. irishrnbsn, I totally agree with you, and I'm more interested in nursing at this point, but I still just want to know the level of diagnostic abilities. I think...
  12. What the hell kind of comment is that? Don't try to act like you can judge me. While I know it's hard to believe, not every human being is inherently selfish and stingy, as you seem to think. If...
  13. Haha, well that's cool! And Happy Birthday! I'm fresh out of college, with a BS in Biology. I actually live in the Rochester vicinity now since I went to college near here, but I'm originally from the...
  14. xoxjedixox - Cool! I'm a guy, maybe that will help with admissions? Haha. peglegmeg - First, I love your screen name, haha. Second - congrats on the interview! Do you mind posting your stats? And did...
  15. I agree xoxjedixox! I hope we both get in :) Are you a guy or a
  16. It did help! Thank you
  17. Well I'm 22 also! And fresh out of college
  18. First - congrats on the interview! Don't be nervous! The interviewer was very, very nice, and it just felt like a conversation. She asked me questions, I asked her questions. They mainly want to know...
  19. Interview over! Went well I think... Now the waiting begins! I hope we all get
  20. Thanks UrHopeful but.. All of those links simply explained about the American Academy of Male Nurses $1,000 scholarship, which from the website it seems they aren't even offering
  21. lol URhopeful - I can't find any men in nursing scholarships? Where did you find
  22. Hi there! Congrats on Columbia - how much is it? Just FYI, U of R is around $52,000 for tuition alone for the full year, so it's not exactly "cheap" either. As for grades, I don't think any specific...
  23. what about living expenses? did you take out additional loans for that? and how hard was it to qualify for that much in loans? are you worried about paying it back? i used a loan calculator for 45k...
  24. I have a question - and this is to everyone else who is in the program or planning on going into it. How do you pay for it? A ton of loans? Do we get ANY financial aid? Or do we take out 50K in
  25. No, I hear there are a lot of older students (not that you're older!) Ansaguy - thanks so much for that long post! :) Very helpful. You say you had a 3.1? I hope I can get in with my ~3.4ish GPA....
