    DNP by 2015- official retraction?

    SHGR posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, As we all know, there is no mandate for APRN's to have a DNP by 2015 (only the CRNA's even have an official date to transition to the DNP by 2025). I am trying to find an official "proof" that...

    DNP by 2015- official retraction?

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Elkpark, I see your point, but because there is so much information about this thing that was supposed to happen, and no official "well, I guess this never happened" from the AACN, that it seems to...

    Nursing Student Attrition and Retention Strategies: Please share your experiences!

    SHGR replied to Wendy906's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This is a topic of great interest to me as I live in a "majority minority" urban area; yet, our nursing profession is so not representative of the population whom we serve. The ADN program in which I...

    Generalist MSN to Post-Master's Cert possible?

    SHGR replied to gumbi_12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP, you can get the post-masters certificate- you would need to complete whatever coursework is needed for the NP program that is not in your MN/CNL/generalist masters program. For instance, if you...

    Is CNS the way to go?

    SHGR replied to blueindigo79's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I just graduated from an AGCNS program. I met with our CNO and inquired about opportunities in the organization in which I'd been employed for 20+ years. She said "we're hiring CNLs now. Maybe you...

    Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply. These are all great points. I appreciate the variety also (current students, former students, instructors). I am trying to consider both my tone and...

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

    EllieMD, that is great that your program is focusing on DM and its care. In my work with family medicine residents, I was told by many (recent graduates of different medical schools) that their...

    Shocked by MD care of my patients

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

    As far as MD vs NP care of diabetes patients, it is shocking how little instruction MD students get on the topic. From what I have seen, NP students get more training in DM care and are better at...

    Where to begin this? How?

    SHGR replied to betweenus64's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Hi Rose, to answer your original question, CNS is like RN but "more" so you need to know that nursing, and a particular kind of nursing, is for you before starting that journey. There are RN to MSN...

    "Bless Your Heart"

    SHGR replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my experience, "have a blest day" is used sincerely (or sometimes perfunctorily the way white people use "have a nice day"), and "bless your heart" is used more sarcastically. I hear the former...
