    phil1968 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As programs shift to DNP this high bar will hopefully stem the tide of grad mills. I am a bit worried....I am in a fnp program and the thoughts of finding a preceptor much less a job have given me...

    What do you think about TV nursing comedy/drama like Nurse Jackie?

    phil1968 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I agree. It is strictly entertainment. My teacher wife loves medical show, while I never bother. Why do I want to see work after I just left it?; even as it is fantasy. Besides, the only thing about...

    phil1968 replied to LaNorteBellaRN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a knee-jerk reaction from the hospital in response to the tradgedy. I wonder if anyone has seen a "code H", and how it went? I bet it will only take a few trivial responses to render...
