  1. Independent Practice vs Scope of Practice

    eglide87 replied to NurseKJ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I disagree. I have a scope of practice that allows me to manage ICU patients as well as perform numerous procedures, but that doesn't put me on the same level as a

  2. Nurses join International push

  5. MSN or DNP?

    eglide87 replied to maxcat's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    DNP is NOT required. It is only a suggestion. Unless you just want to get a doctorate, the MSN will serve fine for a NP. The DNP adds ZERO to your competence as a provider but does add to those who...

  6. Staff meeting

    eglide87 replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We had an intensivist quit when the new medical director demanded that everyone in the PICU address each other by first name!

  7. Terms used to describe APNs - what do people call you?

    eglide87 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We are designated mid level providers. I have no issue with the term. We also have NPs and PAs in our facility. Also, I refer to myself by first name when addressing the patients and families. Its a...

  10. Strike at Children Hospital

    eglide87 replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Great! So now nurses are walking out of a children's hospital over insurance contributions? I thought unions didn't like to strike? You seem very happy about your fellow nurses striking, why is that??...

    eglide87 replied to netglow's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  12. differences between PA and NP?

    eglide87 replied to magichospital's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's another huge debate in itself. I am a NP and can tell you that my nursing experience has little to do with my day-to-day job function. I examine, diagnose, and treat patients and none of my...

  13. differences between PA and NP?

    eglide87 replied to magichospital's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Np's fall under the board of nursing. PA's under the board of Medicine. PA's , in most cases, have significant healthcare experience prior to entering school. Their education is patterned after med...

  14. Hiring for strike

    eglide87 replied to netglow's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Would you like to see my pay stub?? Additionally, you should stick to what you know....there are very few, less than 10 hospitals that are unionized. You have such great information. Where did I say...

  15. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    eglide87 replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    originally posted by llg i'm old enough to remember when it became a requirement for np's to have master's degrees. at first people disagreed, saying that the msn inclusion of research, theory,...

  16. Hiring for strike

    eglide87 replied to netglow's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Do you work in the "South"? If you don't, then please save me the union rhetoric and dispariging comments about nurses from the "South"! Few unions, yes. Low wages, NOT! We, southern nurses, are just...

  17. Patients Are Not Consumers

    eglide87 replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Healthcare is a business and the patients are consumers of the product offered. Mr Krugman wants to take us back to days of old where nurses gave the doctor their chair or brought them a cup of...

  18. TWU in Denton NP Program OR UTA NP Program

    eglide87 replied to missvictoriat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I,too, would suggest whatever is closer but please don't rule out private schools. I practice in Ft Worth and went to a distance program through University of Pennsylvania. It was worth every penny!...

  19. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    eglide87 replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Being a current MSN-NP, I can't imagine that dnp's will be choosen over msn's. There is nothing in their educational framework that lends to them being able to do any more than current NP's can. From...

  21. Right To Work States, hospitals are unionizing

    eglide87 replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    In fairness to the unions, nurses in RTW states who opt to not pay dues should not be afforded union respresentation, period. Dues and union participation should not be mandatory, but those who don't...

  22. Strike nursing

    eglide87 replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I sincerely respect my fellow nurses, but I could never respect a nursing strike. You may think you have the best pay and benefits in the world but I also feel the same way, and there's not a...

    eglide87 replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    THere are several agencies that hire nurses to work strikes. US Nursing is one of them. Just google it! I have a friend who does this and makes incredible money. Unions lost their effectiveness years...

  24. Right To Work States, hospitals are unionizing

    eglide87 replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    RTW states are diff to organize due to no closed shop. Its hard to stay in business when there isn't a captive audience to pay
