  1. Thanks coast2coast, it has been very enlightening. My first career was in the military so I guess I am used to outsiders determining the future of my profession. I had no idea my hypothetical proposal...
  2. Couldn't have said it better myself. "hello ms Pot this is the
  3. Sailornurse: we are obviously talking past each other (rather your talking past and over me) so perhaps it would be better if you don't respond. I would think someone who educated nurses would be able...
  4. found this interesting article which might bare some weight on this topic. editorial: nursing interventions vs interventions delivered by a nurse: similar words, different meanings edit: just finished...
  5. LPN as a Case Management Nurse?

    hello all, my mother works as a case management nurse for a residential and home based habilitation company. she oversees all of the client's medical records and medicines, trains staff how to give...
  6. Sailornurse:I think you have either misread or misinterpreted my posts. Obviously those who currently practice with MSN degrees will be allowed to continue to do so. My proposal is to keep the MSN...
  7. I understand that I just don't see NPs working for DRs preferentially over DNPs. I imagine that most NPs would either get their DNP or would be equally likely to work for a DNP as a DR. From my...
  8. benzos: and the vast majority of pediatricians, internists, podiatrist, psychiatrist all do clinical research and contribute to the knowledge base… right (sarcasm) you don’t need a masters...
  9. No More LPN programs

    Why the Hoosier state of course (i.e.
  10. interesting theory, i just don't see msn nps and dnps taking up arms against each other. assuming dnps were given the same practice rights as physicians (with or without the amas blessing) i would...
  11. first off i would like to thank everyone for their replies. i really wasn't trying to mandate a change to nursing as much as i was trying to flush-out my ideas and get some opinions. the comments...
  12. By salvage I mean save the masters prepared nurse practitioner if and when the DNP becomes the
  13. i am not by any means knowledgeable on med-school and nd/dnp curriculum. surely a curriculum transition could occur that would incorporate the majority of med-school knowledge into a 2 – 2 ½ year...
  14. Your right, it wouldn't happen overnight though. In time the DNP Program could turn into that, they could probably limit their residency requirement too. Consider that unlike physicians who have an...
  15. I think politics will have the biggest effect on how long it takes. I'm not as familiar with Canada ( I am assuming the BC is for British columbia) I am in the US, so depending on how our health care...
  16. I think that is to be expected, again look at the DO model. It took quite a few year and establishing their own hospitals and clinics before they were accepted, even then some MDs see them as second...
  17. Thanks for all the replies thus far and sorry again if I caused any confusion or offense by my post.Personally I agree that a Doctorate shouldn't be necessary for what NPs currently do. However, I am...
  18. easy there, why the hostility? you guessed correctly, i am not a nurse. i work for a firm that analyzes public health policy. i am sorry if i have somehow offended you. the title of my post may have...
  19. I haven't heard any rumors of the adult NP going away. If that were the case is there really that big of a difference an adult NP and a Family
  20. Scope of Practice / Nurse Practice Act

    i have searched high and low for something spelling out the scope of practice for nurses in indiana. the information i find is very vague. interestingly, the scope of practice for pa’s is clearly...
  21. LPN as a Case Management Nurse?

    thanks for your reply. so depending upon the state it could be completely legit. if the board were to say it was beyond her scope i suppose she would be out of a job? or would the company have any...
  22. Well thats just the way of the world some times. If I were you I wouldn't give up, apply to a few more places maybe farther away. Surly you will get hired somewhere by someone who has written bad...
