  1. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    jilljw posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The tissue labs on civilian side do not have the financial means to support a live tissue lab for trauma. Sure they might do one every now and then, but you are not doing annual training. That would...

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

    Just stating that the educations are not the same. Psych NP is going to get more training than a PA is in psych. Most PA's get way more training in ER than NP. Of course, we all need more training...

  6. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    I agree that PA's get less psych rotations than an NP going into psych. However, NPs likely do not get even close to the amount of ER time that a PA gets, both didactically and clinically. My...

  7. No wonder our profession is messed up

    jilljw replied to NeuroNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Logically, yes for the layman. This probably depends on the rigor of the program you went through to achieve your ANP. I know my stethoscope skills did not lend a huge helping hand. This can be...

    If the DNP could pass all the USMLE Steps and oral boards. With additional residency time. I would welcome them to be called DNP in clinic. Not doctor. It is deceiving your patients who are not...

    jilljw replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, two different professions, yet both practice medicine. So what is the difference? Schooling and training. We both Dx and Tx. We are not so different in our day-to-day jobs in family practice....

    jilljw replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree that over time you can find doctors, NP or PA's that are better or worse compared to their counterparts. However, I am talking about the school and what prepares you the best. During the...

    jilljw replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Learning is not just learning. Otherwise, why would we not put a time threshold on having enough hce and let someone sit for a national exam. Then let them Dx, Tx, Rx, etc. It is not to the same...

    Too easy. My husbands friend is stationed there he will ask if there are NP's outside of psych. Odd that you were allowed to be a civilian student working on military patients. UCMJ is not the same...

    I agree national boards are the standard. I am just wondering if we should make these boards much more challenging. This would assure we are putting out the best product. That would include our...
