  1. 2015 DNP

    bsnanat2 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    In this whole debate, I wonder if anyone has run into this problem: I was discussing whether or not to pursue a DNP or MSN for advanced practice and a physcian chimed in that, while MD's in this area...

  2. dual FNP/ACNP certification

    bsnanat2 replied to jedi88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Found a previous thread that is sort of related. Juan delaCruz(?) made a comment therein that seems to indicated that the new consensus model will move ACNP towards adolescents. I buy that and hope...

  3. dual FNP/ACNP certification

    bsnanat2 replied to jedi88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just read the APRN Consensus Model. It uses the term "young adult" in conjunction with adult NP & CNS. Never saw anything that said 18. What does "young adult" mean? ANCC seems to be very...

  4. dual FNP/ACNP certification

    bsnanat2 replied to jedi88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry it took me so long to reply. I realize things may vary by state, but this is from ANCC website, Acute Care NP test outline..........

  5. Unsafe Practices

    bsnanat2 replied to **LaurelRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Unfortunately, there is a whole business model for buying a facility and running it into the ground. I hate it for you because I can sense that you are really a good nurse and I appreciate your...

  6. dual FNP/ACNP certification

    bsnanat2 replied to jedi88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  7. why do you want to pursue graduate studies?

    bsnanat2 replied to gwapo's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you check out the ANCC website www.nursecredentialing.org and look at the test outlines for nurse practitioner roles (family, adult, acute) and compare them to one another and then look at the test...

  8. Samford University FNP Program?

    bsnanat2 replied to nurseabby28's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks robb, The bates text I used in my BSN, so I have

  9. Samford University FNP Program?

    bsnanat2 replied to nurseabby28's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    nurseabby28, I am actually considering adding it to my batch of spring apps. When is the fall deadline (some of the school's web pages were down for updating)? Since they are private, are they...

  10. Samford University FNP Program?

    bsnanat2 replied to nurseabby28's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks robbnp22! Looked at the school's site and the program looks great. Look forward to the other book

  11. Samford University FNP Program?

    bsnanat2 replied to nurseabby28's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Must be a great program to get some of these remarks! Anyone willing to post what books this program used for Patho, Pharm and Health Asses. ?

  12. Can the NP assist in surgery?

    bsnanat2 replied to cassowary's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    CRF250Xpert is a little off base. Medicaid allows all Advance Practice Nurses to file and be paid as First Assist, even if they are not RNFA or ACNP. Remember that the term is "assist." Family...

  13. why do you want to pursue graduate studies?

    bsnanat2 replied to gwapo's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think this is actually a good question. I think many nurses jump on the MSN/NP wagon for the same reason that many of the general public have jumped on the "become an RN" wagon....they think it...

  14. The Nurse Practice Acts and Direct Entry Programs

    bsnanat2 replied to AnaLong's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP, another thought: These programs have to be approved by the state board in whatever state they are in. Part of that approval process is the school laying out how its graduates will qualify for...

  15. The Nurse Practice Acts and Direct Entry Programs

    bsnanat2 replied to AnaLong's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From what I've seen of direct entry Master's programs that have an NP focus, they grant a BSN or MSN after the first year, the student takes the NCLEX and then moves on to the NP portion of study....

  16. The Nurse Practice Acts and Direct Entry Programs

    bsnanat2 replied to AnaLong's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Looking at the quote that you have in bold, nothing in it says that a MSN would not be acceptable. In the quote you show, the AAS/BSN appear to be just examples of the required "earned degree." An MSN...

  17. Gah! So much judgement on all nurses.......

    bsnanat2 replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    op i get your point. i would like to think that this forum should be like a family; here we should be able to be honest with one another and say what needs to be said.......things that those outside...

  18. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    bsnanat2 replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    no, they are not all like that. does that mean that those programs that differ are bad? no. does the fact that most adn programs are not structured the same as pre-licensure bsn programs mean they are...

  19. Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    bsnanat2 replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I wish you had seen this earlier also. Not going to rehash the argument. It is

  20. becoming an NP??

    bsnanat2 replied to daniam25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Your accomplishments so far pretty much tell me that you'll make it happen. LPN to NP student is quite a road you've taken yourself down. I'm sure there've been many doubters along the way, but...

  21. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    bsnanat2 replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nobody said anything about "sub-par". Parapraxis maybe? Yes, we are all RN's in the end. If one never intends to pursue management, research or advanced practice, then, yes, an ADN will do the

  22. 2015 DNP

    bsnanat2 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am all for education. I am all for anyone who gets the DNP. In my own investigation and consideration, it is not worth it for me. In looking at the additional requirements, there seems to be little...

  23. They won't stop calling me!

    bsnanat2 replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I think I understand your point, but here is something else to consider.... When you have a limited number of folks who can do a very necessary and very specialized thing, as management, you have two...

  24. They won't stop calling me!

    bsnanat2 replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, many of these "T e m p o r a r y" situations, turn out to be anything but that. Once you step in to save the day, that becomes what is expected. The OP has her own situation to deal...

  25. They won't stop calling me!

    bsnanat2 replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    G MA RN, When the OP's kids are teens and acting out and complaining that she was "never there for them", I doubt the argument that she was looking after 'the patient's needs' will fly with them....
