    instructor says nursing is not for me..

    zoidberg replied to Orlette's topic in General Students

    being an INTJ does not make you unable to be compassionate and unable to be anything but logical. Just like someone who tests more on the feeling side of things is not unable to use logic. Don't put...

    instructor says nursing is not for me..

    zoidberg replied to Orlette's topic in General Students

    i just read a great book on how introverts (me) work, and you say you don't like "small talk", which could mean pointless conversation to pass time. If you are an introvert, and you are not the life...

    Ketamine for Depression

    zoidberg replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    that is really cool. maybe a combination of said rapid onset and long term medication can be developed that can be started at the same time with minimal interaction to minimize the lag time that...

    Columbia's ETP Program for CRNA: Only allows time for 1 year ICU work. Enough time?

    zoidberg replied to futurecrna16's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    good point. if the younger batch of CRNA's is trained to work under MDA's and not alone, it will negatively effect the profession in the future. I am looking for a school that trains and fosters...

    Retail Clinic salaries

    zoidberg replied to aggie313's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    psychonaut: i have heard this as well... to the point that an NP was chewed out for doing what any good clinician would do as a treatment--because it went against the protocol for such symtoms. I get...

    Disrespectful

    zoidberg replied to lovelyb26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I wish i was able to hold in the mounds of sarcastic debauchery and say something like this with a smug look when responding to people's life

    CRNA Schools No Experience Required

    zoidberg replied to utahskiier's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    i agree. being rude now is better than unsafe anesthesia being administered

    CRNA Schools No Experience Required

    zoidberg replied to utahskiier's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There is a reason the Anesthesiology Assistants programs do not require experience, AA's require MDA supervision, and they do not make as much

    APRN degree question

    zoidberg replied to mattheha's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    you will need a BSN in most cases. Vanderbilts online programs are respected. look into that. You can do your RN-BSN in two semesters, and your FNP masters in 3 semesters. They have part time as well....

    Does Nursing change your personality and etc.

    zoidberg replied to futuremale-rn's topic in Men in Nursing

    being a good nurse and making your patients feel comfortable does not mean one must be a emotional touchy feely pushover-it just means you provide support when they need it. Being a nurse may change...

    Retail Clinic salaries

    zoidberg replied to aggie313's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    in NC minute clinic type places pay a litte less than the two previous posts. I know FNP's and PA's who work in that setting and they do not get 60/hr... it is most likely because they are younger and...

    Best route to NP?

    zoidberg replied to MIRN923's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    in many states PA's and NP's have very similar scopes of practice and autonomy. When you say "autonomy" I am assuming you do not want to own your own practice, but want to be able to see patients,...

    zoidberg replied to Dapacks3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    cadet, you have an insightful view as a chiropractor. but i think rather than having a hand tied around their backs, nurses have both hands, plus extra sharp hearing and eyes all over the place. My...

    Is NC considering expanding NP autonomy

    zoidberg replied to mbj6's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    not sure if you know but supervising MD in NC can be "collaborating". When I was in college, (a small school) student health was run by an FNP, she worked without an MD, but had an MD available by...

    2015 DNP

    zoidberg replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think the DNP issue is part of a large group of issues facing NP's and nursing, and IMO the DNP is the least urgent. who cares what the degree is, it just needs to be standardized. Here is what...
