    myoglobin replied to ToBeMSNNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    myoglobin replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    You say these advanced 'NP degrees are worthless", but you fail to acknowledge that in over 20 states with independent practice that with one of these degrees you can "open your own office" and do it...

  7. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    myoglobin replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    It still think nursing can be a decent job not only for the reasons that I listed, but also because of the 12 hour shifts. How many jobs facilitate three day work weeks? Also, if you are someone who...

  8. Physician Assistants now have FPA

    myoglobin replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are states such as California, Texas, and Florida where adding the impetus of PA to ARNP PAC's might "make the difference" in getting independent practice legislation through. If these states...

  12. ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    myoglobin replied to Anon143's topic in School, College Programs

    Has there ever been a study confirming that those who score over a certain percentage (say 80%) as opposed to those who score less (say 75%) are actually less safe as nurses? I believe that if we are...

  13. ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    myoglobin replied to Anon143's topic in School, College Programs

  15. Clinical Question - What to say if you think a patient is dying?

    myoglobin replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is somewhat of a philosophical question "what is a natural death?" Even advanced cases of severe illness such as metastatic pancreatic or small cell lung cancer will occasionally go into long...

  16. Clinical Question - What to say if you think a patient is dying?

    myoglobin replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  20. University of Southern Indiana (USI) PMHNP - 2019

    myoglobin replied to JENFKB's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry, the class that I felt was extremely difficult was the advanced psychopharmacology. The pharmacology class was quite reasonable. It was the psychopharmacology based upon Stahl's textbook that I...

  21. University of Southern Indiana (USI) PMHNP - 2019

    myoglobin replied to JENFKB's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  22. PMHNP and telepsych

    myoglobin replied to editingeyes's topic in General Nursing
