  1. Considerations for a true practice doctorate

    twozer0 replied to twozer0's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    @psychguy I like the idea of having a business related class, especially in independent practice states! Definately a good class to have and focus on how the local legislation works, how to set up...

  2. Interesting!!

    twozer0 replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know this!

  3. Why would you want a DNP?

    twozer0 replied to Not just a nurse's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion the DNP doesnt delinate itself enough from the PhD in nursing. The DNP is supposed to be the "practice" doctorate but many APRN's feel it doesnt really augment their role as providers....

  4. Question from a doc on NP education

    twozer0 replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This post was wonderful at pointing out the role of nursing in advanced practice (and nursing in general). Medicine treats disease, nursing treats individuals. Sure we can prescribe medication that...

  5. Interesting!!

    twozer0 replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldnt say people dont gravitate because it's too hard. A lot of choice is based off of lifestyle. Why do you think everyone gravitates towards dermatology or radiology? Or heck, why every...

  7. The Fifth Vital Sign

    twozer0 replied to bgxyrnf's topic in General Nursing

    I still think you are missing the connection here. The only reference you gave me was from the nurse pain association of which what you quoted was just the authors opinion, there is no citation...

  8. Question from a doc on NP education

    twozer0 replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Part of the reason medicine takes a long time is because physicians want to control the market. Residency slots are limitedand as a result you can only churn out a capped number of attendings per...

  9. Question from a doc on NP education

    twozer0 replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dranger nailed it. You ever see that commercial for hyundai (I think?!) where the guy is holding the trophy with his son and he gets a "participation" trophy after they won the championship. He then...

  10. The Fifth Vital Sign

    twozer0 replied to bgxyrnf's topic in General Nursing

    How do I know the patient is unable to perceive pain? I'm confused as to what you are suggesting here. They are unable to perceive pain due to being sedated, asleep, or paralyzed? Did you even read...

  11. Question from a doc on NP education

    twozer0 replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As others have pointed out the education will vary wildly from institution to institution. It seems as of late a lot of RN's are wanting to do NP school for the sheer fact they don't like the RN job....

  12. The Fifth Vital Sign

    twozer0 replied to bgxyrnf's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, the sleeping patient can still have pain (never once have I refuted this). The whole point of my writeup was to prove that a sleeping patient has CONTROLLED pain and is able to sleep, which...

  15. loans

    twozer0 replied to wanger2525's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I chose a different path other than CRNA due to debt and family. With most anesthesia programs now converting to DNAP you're looking at 3 years minimum of no work to complete the program. 100k in...

  16. loans

    twozer0 replied to wanger2525's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Easy 100k with tuition, most hit 150k+. At 150k loan, 5% interest, 10 year payment period you're looking at 1600 a month. @135k base salary per year you're looking at 11250 a month gross and around...

  17. NP or PA

    twozer0 replied to Bteti20's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    One big problem I have noticed is the seemingly haphazard decision making of people wanting to become NP's. Then I see all these complaints about not being able to find preceptors or my school...

  18. South University FNP program

    twozer0 replied to awo001's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not to discredit south university but they are a subsidiary (owned) by Education Management Corporation which was just found guilty in federal court using high pressure tactics and illegal...

  19. Advice for a OR nurse wanting to make move to the ED

    twozer0 replied to optimistic92's topic in Emergency

    Its going to be an eye opener for sure! As an OR nurse, your patient responsibility is limited and by that i mean VERY limited. Your job is very specialized though in that you need to know a lot of...

  20. The Fifth Vital Sign

    twozer0 replied to bgxyrnf's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you just didn't read my write-up. Pain is not objective, its subjective. You cannot express pain if you are asleep (you're unconscious). Since pain is a perception and how we treat pain is...
