    thanks for the input. would working in the ER in a non-psych capacity as well as on a psych floor both part time be a good idea? Or should i just jump in full time psych then go back to ER when i go...

    Advice on Psych NP vs. Psychiatry MD/DO

    zoidberg replied to kris_10's topic in Psychiatric

    no words anyone can tell you will replace shadowing. find some local md's and do's, np's working in psych, (or pa's, they provide insight as well) and be observant. be grateful, write a thank you...

    Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    zoidberg replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    zoidberg replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    well... since nursing "government" has decided that the dnp should be the entry for practice... the dnp is being pushed. the actual government does not care or get involved. PA's will not require a...

    zoidberg replied to fnpL's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    dont worry. you wont have a problem sitting for your fnp exam, and employers will most likely not care if you have just the msn. it will take a while for the dnp to become a

    Future role of MD/DO in relation to APNs/PAs.

    zoidberg replied to sramsay's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    this is not about the dnp. that is a degree. NP's have a license. the NP depends on this. I believe and sincerely hope physicians stay in primary care. my primary care MD is one of the smartest, most...

    NPs practicing as DRs

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

    NPs practicing as DRs

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

    NPs practicing as DRs

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

    i like the idea of the DCC, but the only way all DNP educated NP's would be able to take it is if all DNP programs included a beefed up FNP curriculum with a lot of clinical hours, then finished up...
