    APRNs should only be DNPs!

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Lovanurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree with llg. I think that the DNP can encompass Nurses from a variety of backgrounds and need not be restricted to those of us that are advanced practice providers. It isn't simply about...

    Is the Nursing Licensure Exam effective?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I am confident that computer adaptive testing is sufficiently sophisticated to accurately measure if the candidate meets what has been determined to be the minimum passing criteria. I am not...

    Msn or doctorate to teach?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    In my area one cannot find a teaching position without a PhD or DNP, except to teach CNA courses. Even the community colleges are making their MSN faculty finish a doctorate or they are being demoted...

    NPs practicing as DRs

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know. She feels she got a good education there and has nothing negative to say about it. I can only confirm that she knows her material and skills and is a very good provider. She used to...

    Conservative school for DNP?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to CRF250Xpert's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Caring about poor people, obviously. OP, you are just going to have to wait for Oral Roberts to open a DNP

    NPs practicing as DRs

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel compelled to add that I have a colleague that got her NP from U of P and she is an outstanding NP. I think she was a nurse for a year or two first. Frankly, I don't like her, and we certainly...

    FNP doing procedures

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to ArkansasFan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    KCEG: I always recommend to familiarize yourself with the laws where you want to practice. I do not live in a rural area; we are approaching 1,000,000 residents and are not deemed underserved....

    FNP doing procedures

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to ArkansasFan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Disclaimer, I am an independent practitioner in family practice. I do arthocentesis and intra-articular injections several times a week. I also do a lot of shave and punch biopsies, colposcopy, IUDs,...

    NPs practicing as DRs

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Veridical. Or "word," or "true dat." Whichever taxonomy you prefer. In all seriousness, this is quite true. I have found that only other DNPs really understand the inherent value of the education,...

    NPs practicing as DRs

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This has most assuredly not been my experience. I have had nothing but positive reinforcement and congratulations. I say this not to discount your experience, but to offer a different perspective...

    SCALE DRAMA

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's silly. It isn't as though we looked at them and envied their fit and toned physique, but then saw the number on the scale and said, "oh, 300lbs. Gee, I was wrong. She isn't as thin and trim as...

    How Far Would You Commute for Part-time?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to FocusRN's topic in Nursing Career

    No way would I spend that much time commuting. Life is too short. My drive is less than 5 minutes, and in good weather (9 months out of the year) I usually walk or ride my bike the less than 2...

    Resignation Advice & Help Requested

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to AllieSparksRN's topic in Nursing Career

    FWIW, our minimum lead time on resignations was 6 weeks; anything less and they were not for rehire. That said, IIWY I'd give them whatever the employee handbook requires, plus one week. I think it...

    Benifits for paying more at Duke vs MUSC

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to MonTif's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Even as a distance student you will have a great deal of interaction (more perhaps) with your faculty and I think it is invaluable to meet several of them and be assured that your values and interests...

    NPs practicing as DRs

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I received an outstanding NP education, and I am a completely independent provider. I don't have any feelings of inferiority compared to PAs, or MDs for that matter, lol.

    Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The question is simply too broad. Distance APN education through Duke or Georgetown is clearly not comparable to Phoenix or that ilk, any more than Duke or Georgetown Medical schools are comparable...

    Benifits for paying more at Duke vs MUSC

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to MonTif's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went to Duke, obviously, lol. When I was hired into my first NP job they told me they only reason they took a chance on a new grad NP is because I was a Duke new grad. However, no, I didn't make...

    How many ARNPs get administrative time?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to lizfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work in a primary care family practice environment. Admin time is standard practice in our group. FT means seeing pts 32 hours a week, any 32 hours of my choice. I use Wed and Fri adternoons for...
