    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    zoidberg replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    thank you lindarn, I cannot believe i have not thought of that. Especially since the only thing more broken than health care is public

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    zoidberg replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    and here i thought we could have a nice conversation without election

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    zoidberg replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You know, when i was young and dumb, I was extremely politically conservative. I would still consider myself somewhat conservative. That said, here is the predicament: We HAVE to pick: We can do...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    zoidberg replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    on a side note, I think gouvernement programs need to be as nit-picky as private insurance, when i worked in a pharmacy, it would take hours to get some expensive name brands covered by BCBS, but when...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    zoidberg replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    when we talk about these things, since not everyone has the same religion (which is what most religious people base their beliefs on) we have to find a logical base for our arguments. Our society's...

    Working on non-nursing bachelors while taking pre-reqs

    zoidberg replied to SarahmRuiz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    this is for vanderbilt: If you are currently enrolled in a BA or BS program, you must be in the final year of your program and have successfully completed or plan to complete prior to enrollment the...

    Change from BSN to DDS

    zoidberg replied to lyanne's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    you need to have a good story as to when your change of heart happened, or they may fear you will bail on dental school as well. volunteer at free dental clinics, shadow dentists (SO easy to do this,...

    going to nursing school

    zoidberg replied to zoidberg's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I know... one of the reasons I would rather be an NP. the areas I am most interested in are easier billed/practiced as an NP in my state. I really like psych as well, and there is only a handful of...

    going to nursing school

    zoidberg posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    So after getting in to nursing school and PA school, i have opted for nursing. Some people think i am crazy for making that choice, but i have several good reasons. Scope of NP's vs PA's in my state...

    Name and scope of NP/PA's

    zoidberg posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With all the talk of PA's wanting a new name and both parties wanting to practice their full scope in all states, I think it should be discussed together. I realize the nuances between the two groups,...

    DEA license

    zoidberg replied to charlie1234's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    its no biggie. when i worked in the pharmacy the pharmacists had their DEA's and they would ALL be popping anxiety meds all day. They didnt break any rules, but its frightening how many providers...

    Name and scope of NP/PA's

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

    A lot of urgent care centers here in SC have NO APRN's on staff. I think due to the supervision of PA's malpractice is next to nothing. The supervision is a little different for the two. PA's have to...

    I don't think I want to do FNP anymore?

    zoidberg replied to Jmallard's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    also, do not stress about not knowing every diagnosis that walks in the door. A MD i shadowed for a month who was the BEST pediatrician in the state still had to go pull out some books to check on a...

    Name and scope of NP/PA's

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

    Yeah perhaps the PA education is too general. What about PA's being allowed to be independent with a few years experience + only allowing independence in the primary care specialties? Then PA's can do...

    MUSC Accelerated BSN

    zoidberg replied to Annaiya's topic in General Nursing

    i am not sure, but i think if you are out of state it may be harder, i know the med school only has a few slots for out of state people, but im not sure about nursing. Im not reapplying this time...
  16. zoidberg

    Name and scope of NP/PA's

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

    I agree. If anything PA's need to find a way to separate from the AMA (not likely, i know) so they and NP's can do better at working together. The current state of things makes cooperation difficult...

    What makes a strong DNP candidate when applying to a PMHNP program?

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

    for grad programs in general, they want to know these things: 1)You know what you are getting in to. This can be accomplished by working in a department that uses PMH NP's, and getting to know a...

    RN to BSN. Does it matter WHERE I get it? End goal=CRNA

    zoidberg replied to call me murse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    lots of schools do not care if it is a BSN or a BS in a basic science, so if you already need to take organic 1 and 2, biochem, etc, maybe you could do a BS in Bio or chem or something and use your...

    Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    zoidberg replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Good for you, I admire your restraint. No one wants to merge PA's and NP's. Maybe streamline how they both operate, and bring their scope up to full in areas where one is noticeably more free to...

    Crna and Pa simultaneously?

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

    no prob. I dont think there would be an issue with holding both licences, since they have fairly difference scopes, (unlike the issues an NP working as an RN can face) it would just be a big pain to...

    RN-BSN or RN-MSN?

    zoidberg replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    if being an NP is your goal, as long as you are able to take the NP certification test, you will be okay. The BSN material is not essential for you especially since you will be putting on your NP hat....

    Crna and Pa simultaneously?

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

    for what I am guessing you want to do, you would be better off with a more common(but still not common) combo of the ACNP CRNA. If you have your heart set on it that would be more cost and time...

    A male Nurse Practitioner: What are your thoughts?

    zoidberg replied to indomie23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    another consideration is how well you did if you have a undergrad degree already. My experience was that PA school has harder to get into than osteopathic (D.O.) schools, so even if you have a Biology...

    Name and scope of NP/PA's

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

    yeah that seems like malpractice waiting to happen, treating psych disorders in kids as an adult psych provider,... .In SC if you are trained in child psych you have to have a child psychiatrist...
