1. Nurse Practitioner's prescribing buprenorphine

   fivefeet05NP2B replied to CASTLEGATES's topic in Activism

   I completely agree with your post. All of the political agendas of the AMA and legislators are becoming a barrier to the people who would benefit the most; the patients .

2. Passing cut offs

   fivefeet05NP2B replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

   Well, when I was in nursing school, we actually DID have an instructor who wrote questions for NCLEX (shrugs).

4. No Good Very Bad Nursing Instructor

   fivefeet05NP2B replied to misskitty22's topic in General Students

   Ummm, chip on your shoulder much? All I saw her do was suggest that maybe this was the instructor's issue with her since she obviously does not know. Just because something is not your reality does not mean it does not exist. :-)

5. Students asking for free money

   fivefeet05NP2B replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

   Umm...Why do ya'll care? If there are people who are able and willing to donate money to strangers, education is not a bad reason. I would say before judging so harshly, realize that you never know someone's situation and how hard they actually have ...

6. Scoring High 40s on APEA Q Bank..

   fivefeet05NP2B replied to Gdschild's topic in NP Students

   Me, personally, If I were getting those scores, I would probably study more and push my test back. My university requires us to use APEA Q-bank and pre and post tests and we have to score at least 72% or higher to pass our residency class. I have bee...

7. dont understan DNP

   fivefeet05NP2B replied to Mvillam's topic in NP Students

   You do not have to get your DNP to become a nurse practitioner. There are only recommendations at this time for the entry level for nurse practitioner to be the DNP. In my state, nurse practitioners with a DNP DO NOT make any more than Master's prepa...

8. CNS V. NP

   fivefeet05NP2B replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in NP Students

   I think you may have to sit down and really do some in depth research. The NP role is completely different than the RN role. If you want to continue doing bedside nursing and would just like to become more knowledgeable in critical care, getting you...

11. Should I go to school to become a nurse or PA?

    fivefeet05NP2B replied to debbieprobe's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above poster. But If you absolutely want to change careers completely, you have to take several things into account. First, when you say "decent salary", what exactly does that mean? Making $21-$23 dollars an hour as a new grad ADN i...

    fivefeet05NP2B replied to fivefeet05NP2B's topic in NP Students

    I'm kind of an old soul and honestly have been through alot of things most people older than me have probably not. I get along well with people who are not in my age group (where I work now, I am the youngest there). My worry is that these older nurs...
