  1. Just finished my first semester, how to strengthen my knowledge

    pro-student replied to nb1104_'s topic in General Nursing

    Was there anything in particular that you struggled with? Fundamentals means a lot if different things. If you problems were with the whole nursing diagnoses, NICs and NOCs then I wouldn't worry too...

  2. CNM or L&D?

    pro-student replied to Jordan1927's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Midwives provide care across settings to well women including gynecological and primary health care, pre-conception, prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care as well as care for normal newborns up...

  3. Young Midwife

    pro-student replied to DreamerMW's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Patients will care more how you conduct yourself. Do you look and act professional? Do you know what you're talking about? Do you have an excellent bedside manner? Patients will often form a first...

  4. CNM, FNP

    pro-student replied to rac1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You don't need any particular experience to be a CNM or FNP. I did a dual program straight out of my undergrad nursing program. The role of an med-surg RN is so different from that of either a CNM or...

  5. Volunteer advice, maybe controversial?

    pro-student replied to medicinewoman33's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    OB units are likely to be more aware and open to full scope of women's health services. They will have cared for women who have terminated a pregnancy and may have cared for rare occasions when...

  6. MS in Midwifery

    pro-student replied to biggolp1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Depending on the DNP program you might apply to, they may want you to complete some additional courses if they don't feel the master's program had equivalents. These would probably be theory,...

  7. Hypothetically, How Would You Handle This?

    pro-student replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Your family member has the right to refuse care from any provider without giving a reason. You certainly can insist that they refuse care from the provider you are concerned about without violating an...

  8. Drug screen refusal at work

    pro-student replied to Sunnyskys12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    These questions would be better addressed to the organizations your inquiring about. They could give you the best, most accurate answers. Refusal to submit to a drug test is generally grounds for...

  9. Compensation for BSN?

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

    It never hurts to ask your manager especially since, from what you say, HR is saying it up to his or her discretion. The worst they will say is no. It doesn't make you look bad to inquire about any...

  10. Opinions... Family DNP vs CRNA

    pro-student replied to 2bnursern220's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Dermatology and Anesthesia are pretty divergent areas of practice. I think you need to do some more in depth consideration of what you want to do with your career. I wouldn't try to rush your decision...

  11. Is it possible to work bedside, clinic and faculty?

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

    Teaching at any level is going to require practice experience at that level and usually begins by teaching in the clinical setting. For undergrad that would involve having a clinical group for one of...

  12. I don't understand bsn to dnp programs

    pro-student replied to direw0lf's topic in School, College Programs

    The url for USF you posted was for residency programs which would be post-certification and is why some are in areas in which there is no APN certification (e.g. - trauma, dermatology, orthopedics,...

  13. MMR didn't take

    pro-student replied to Jen51685's topic in General Nursing

    With any vaccination, a certain subset of the population will not seroconvert even with additional doses. Immunizations cannot provide immunity to every single person which is why we rely on herd...

  14. I don't understand bsn to dnp programs

    pro-student replied to direw0lf's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not sure you're information is accurate. For one, USF does not have a PMHNP program at all. You may also be getting the MSN-DNP and BSN-DNP programs confused. All NP programs must include, at a...

  15. Morphine

    pro-student replied to bear14's topic in Emergency

    Pain also stimulates the sympathetic nervous system which increases heart rate and contractility both driving up myocardial oxygen demand. Decreasing pain decreases the sympathetic stimulation. Along...

  16. Is it very difficult to get a good GPA in an accelerated BSN?

    pro-student replied to Pianoplaya94's topic in General Nursing

    It's definitely possible to earn a strong GPA during an accelerated program but it will require a lot of effort and a really good understanding of the pre-reqs especially A&P. Many accelerated...

  17. Thinking of nursing; have kinesiology degree

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

    Nursing is a wonderful profession where you get to make a real difference in people's lives on a daily basis. It is also a very challenging profession where you are often seeing people at their...

  18. Interested in BSN but discouraged please help (in louisiana area)

    pro-student replied to hopefulnurse2020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try not to stress out too much. You still have a shot at a BSN right away. Learn from you experience as a freshman and you can hopefully improve your grades. Take advantage of resources your school...

  19. Should I try nursing again?

    pro-student replied to Aekju46's topic in General Nursing

    I want to echo the cautions that accelerated BSN programs are both very competitive and very intense. Seeing an academic record with failed nursing courses will likely not earn you a spot. You may...

  20. Moved to New York...trouble with online dnp

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

    Around 2011 NYS implemented rules meant to crack down on diploma mills and disreputable online schools. For any school to conduct any portion of a program in NY (including clinicals) the school must...

  21. Too Many Nurse Practitioners?

    pro-student replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We would be better off considering primary care as a type of healthcare services that can be provided by several different professional: the physician, NP, and PA. The model, however, assumes they are...

  22. Psychosocial diagnsosis for infant?

    pro-student replied to ital91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Risk for impaired attachment since the caregiver(s) might be more hesitant to hold, touch, or otherwise comfort the child for fear of damaging the device or injuring the child. I think this is ideal...

  23. Difference between WHNP and CNM?

    pro-student replied to kfleming44's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    CNMs can catch babies as well as provide care for neonates for the first 28 days of life. Other than those two areas, the scope of practice is identical. It is certainly possible to do both however...

  24. family nurse practitioner without medical experience

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

    You can absolutely do an FNP with only psych experience. Many students graduate FNP programs every year with zero RN experience at all and go on to become successful providers. You psych background...

  25. Argument against full practice authority

    pro-student replied to stickit34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think this article actually makes the most cogent arguments I've ever heard on the issue (which is basically the only cogent argument). True NP autonomy and access to care has not been well studies...
