  1. Nurses Furious As Dentist to Lead Nursing Research Institute

    pro-student replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I think it is ridiculous and unacceptable (even in the interim) to name non-nurses to lead one of the most influential nursing research organizations. But I also think there is a growing danger to...

  2. First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    pro-student replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    Constant med errors and lying to staff are huge problems that suggest the demands of this career are just not a good fit with your personal situation. I can totally empathize with feeling scared and...

  3. BSN to MSW??

    pro-student replied to CFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Most MSW programs are set up for students whose undergrad was something other than social work. There's often an "advanced standing" option for those who have a BSW and truncates the program but the...

  4. CNM vs NP vs dual degree.... Need help finding direction.

    pro-student replied to obnurse406's topic in Advanced Practice

    Based on what you said, it would make the most sense for you to become a CNM. As you know, the scope of practice and training would allow you to provide full scope midwifery care including during...

  5. ICU Research Project

    pro-student replied to kjacks759's topic in Critical Care

    They are NOT the same and tbh it’s a bit scary that you don’t know that. It is possible to have delirium in a patient with a history of dementia (it’s typically call DSD- delirium superimposed...

  6. Acute Care vs FNP, advice needed please

    pro-student replied to kimbalotz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The Consensus Model does not specify setting but rather populations that APNs should be spending the majority of their time caring for. EDs are not considered inpatient either. An FNP can and do work...

  7. Pmhnp programs that dont "emphasize" GPA

    pro-student replied to CP1983's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you should absolutely be proud of your accomplishments and I hope I didn't sound like I was diminishing them in any way. I just urge you to be very thoughtful about your potential for higher...

  8. Disappointment in NP Program

    pro-student replied to naptimeRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm all for advocacy but it will only be effective if done intelligently. Such ignorant comments as calling a petition drive and website "basically a law", claiming to quote policy when only...

  9. MAT program

    pro-student replied to glogirl's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is not true and reflects a gross (although unfortunately not uncommon) misunderstanding of the Consensus Model and NP Scope of Practice which makes the distinction on patient population and not...

  10. Disappointment in NP Program

    pro-student replied to naptimeRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wow! This is one of the most ignorant and uninformed things I have ever read. The “Sawyer Initiative” is one NP’s personal attempt at petitioning the CCNE to change policy regarding clinical...

  11. Pmhnp programs that dont "emphasize" GPA

    pro-student replied to CP1983's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Without improving your GPA, you are not likely to be admitted to a program other than a degree mill. I don’t know of any grad school that “emphasizes” GPA as the sole or primary indicator of an...

  12. Getting my Psychiatric mental health certification.What comes next?

    pro-student replied to auchip2's topic in Advanced Practice

    You should take (and pass) the PMHNP exam to become a PMHNP. Completing the coursework and earning a certificate alone doesn't qualify you to practice as a psych provider. There is also no such thing...

  13. Dilemma: FNP or AGNP -final semester

    pro-student replied to FNPOwlGal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You might as well change. Without a clinical you aren't going to be able to practice at all and without a quality clinical, you're not going to be prepared to provide quality care. Adult-Gero does...

  14. Dilemma choosing schools

    pro-student replied to IThinkICan100's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ask Maryville for an extension. The worst they can say is no. Neither program is known for being competitive (although the PMHNP program at Fronteir is new) and tend to admit whoever meets their...

  15. Is being a pediatric NP easier?

    pro-student replied to Guest1059175's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Haha, that's cute. Kids come with their own set of challenges, usually that means families. You will see all kinds of parenting styles and deal with parents who are extremely difficult to say the...

  16. Most valuable experience

    pro-student replied to Nurse3242's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to answer that question without any context. The best experience will vary depending on what your goals are. There is no objectively best

  17. Fourfold dilemma- Primigravida, domestic violence, substance abuse and refusing assistance

    pro-student replied to Subby317's topic in Advanced Practice

    Spend a little time figuring out what she wants and working from there. She is likely to be resistant to any plan you (or anyone else) tries to impose on here. Investing in building some rapport and...

  18. College selection for doctoral program

    pro-student replied to Saravah's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I second this. I have read morificecripts from PhD students at both the mentioned online for-profit schools and they were laughably inadequate. The level was below what would be acceptable in (real)...

  19. NP role in a code

    pro-student replied to NickB's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    "Under current law, [APRNs] are able to pronounce death, ascertain the cause of death and provide the medical information required by the death certificate, but by Florida law, they are not authorized...

  20. FNP program passing grade

    pro-student replied to Guest1059175's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In graduate schools in general, B (or B- if they use the plus/minus) is usually the minimum passing grade. Also, you are generally required to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA and if your semester GPA...

  21. Advice for changing my major. Leaving nursing?

    pro-student replied to Nursls21's topic in General Nursing

    I would respectfully suggest that if you're only willing to put in as little time as necessary with people you or anyone else views as "less desirable" and if you use the term "undesireable" even if...

  22. Which nursing leadership role the hospital Exec's like?

    pro-student replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not sure what you're asking because unless you are actually a provider billing fee-for-service, you actually cost the hospital money. Since most providers are not actually employees of hospitals,...

  23. Academic adviser says I'm selling myself short by going into nursing.

    pro-student replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    Wait, she thinks you're selling yourself short going into nursing but then cautioning you because it's too hard to get into? Doesn't make any sense. Is she a nurse? Chances are that, unless she is,...

  24. Statistics class

    pro-student replied to kevinbryan14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The basic content is probably very similar but the psych version will likely be more applied. The type of examples they are likely to use in psych stats are probably closer to what we encounter in...

  25. Psych NP & psychotherapy

    pro-student replied to human_nerd's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PMHNPs are expected to be trained and qualified to provide psychotherapy in addition to their other functions however the reality of both education and the job market heavily lean away from...
