    Part-Time NP Programs: Opinions?

    SHGR replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most of us need to keep working while getting an MSN- whether it be to maintain health insurance, get tuition reimbursement, gain experience, keep professional contacts, etc. I don't know of anyone...

    Research Topic for MSN

    SHGR replied to eRiNn88's topic in MICU, SICU

    Are you interested in quantitative or qualitative research? The first of these three ideas would likely be quantitative, the third would be best investigated in a qualitative manner. The CAM project...

    Is there something wrong with me?

    SHGR replied to jlw5's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I absolutely agree with what The Commuter said, but I have to add, if you do it long enough you will really start to believe what you are saying. It will become the truth and no longer be phony. I...

    Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

    SHGR replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One way to change that is to stop repeating it. I don't hear this belief in real life, only from the same posters on these threads. NP education is different than MD education. One is not better...

    OP, you've started several of this type of thread; it becomes the same argument every time. What is your stake in the

    Should ICU get more pay than floor nursing?!?

    SHGR replied to francoml's topic in MICU, SICU

    Interesting. The tables are turned. I guess all those new grads clamoring for ICU in order to get into CRNA school, are willing to work for less pay, and your facility is responding to the supply...

    Can't attend clinical d/t injury, being held back a year

    SHGR replied to mandy-ns's topic in General Students

    Considering all the complaints from students re: their lack of being able to do "skills" in clinicals, this really hardly seems fair. I think you could make a strong case for: care planning, making...

    Father of a nursing student needs advice

    SHGR replied to Keane68's topic in General Nursing

    If there is a new grad residency available to her, she needs to take advantage of that opportunity, just as she took advantage of the opportunities you have given her thus far (I don't mean to imply...

    SHGR replied to ePerfect's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think that is so helpful that you have your PhD/NP aunt who could help you hone in on what you want to do, knowing you and your situation well along with the academic side of things. It sounds like...

    Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    SHGR replied to stephdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    From what I know of diploma programs, the grads were very well prepared to take on the RN role from day one, no "residency" and no "handholding" required. The experience was lost in the BSN programs...

    SHGR replied to melcolbstorm's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Use gravity (hang the patient's hand down); warm it first; use your own hand/fingers to rub the patient's fingers to bring blood down into the tips. Hope those help

    BS+RN=>MSN?

    SHGR replied to Penholder's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, that is true, but I don't know of any that allow direct admission to MSN without a bridge of some kind first. Thanks for

    You have to have a BSN to get into an MSN program. It can't be a BS in another

    SHGR replied to not_it's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Two things come to mind here. It doesn't hurt to dress up a little for class. You never know whom you are going to run into. Also, when it comes time for clinicals and you feel comfortable with...

    Ambulatory Care Nursing

    SHGR replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I'll take a stab at these. I work in a primary care setting and it has changed completely since 2006/2009! LOL indeed! We use a proactive population-based model now (PCMH) rather than a reactive...

    "Also, I understand that by 2015, one will have to go the DNP route in order to have prescriptive privileges and maybe even to work as an APN at all." Nope, not true at all. You can still get an MSN...

    Can FNPs work in case management?

    BSN+MSW sounds like a great mix for CM. You might try posing this question in the Case Management forum for best
