  2. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I could be wrong, please don't tear into me if you disagree. A simple "I disagree because...." will do :) Unfortunately, we have established (the hard way), that personal attacks based on alternate...

  3. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, NPs were not formally prepared in the beginning, but were chosen by physicians for their "experience", and "clinical expertise", and then trained under that...

  6. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Due to my interest in in this subject, I spoke to one of my instructors about it. --------has been a nurse for 30 years, and a DNP for 20 years, she has also been an NP instructor since 1999. She...

  7. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As I said before, it is a unintended consequence of the inexperienced provider. I have also seen it happen with residents, and brand new MDs. Part of having experience will be learning how to handle...

  8. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Its funny how when arrogance, and assumed superiority get called out the only response is "crickets", and Have a nice day. Just for the record, LUCK is a fallback strategy for the unprepared, which I...

  9. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I suggest that you stop insinuating that NO ONE EVER knows as much about anything as YOU! You have no idea where I have been, and what I know! Your statement is ridiculous, and your assumed sense of...

  10. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Regardless of how you feel, this scenario plays out all of the time. It is one of the unintended consequences of NPs coming out of school with little or no real world experience, then giving orders to...

  11. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While working in a small 17 bed ER 2 years ago, I had the misfortune of working with 2 providers who had no previous clinical experience. they were both "deer lost in headlights". They would...

  12. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    For every anecdotal response you give I can give another, and the realities of the discussion will not change. You believe that (essentially) a new graduate, can enter NP school, graduate, start...

  13. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Critical thinking skills are (for the most part) not taught in nursing school, or graduate school. I would be interested to know how having extensive RN experience will "hinder" an NP in their day to...

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ok....Will only working in a clinic setting before NP school give you adequate venipuncture kills, teach you to place a catheter in both male and female patients, place an NG tube, start an IV,...

  15. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Which is why I stated that I felt like a nurse with limited experience could thrive, "but" In my "opinion" one will be doing "themselves" an injustice by not having more experience. I have never...

  16. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also believe that where the APN works, to some extent, will have a great deal to do with how much their experience will help them. For example, a great deal of hospital experience may not be as...

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for sharing your "opinion". and you may be right, research may supersede my opinion, but as it stands right no, at this juncture, there is not enough evidence to change my mind. As far as...

  18. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your right, I'm fully invested now, but I didn't start any of this. By the way , I took the time to browse a few research samples to refresh my memory. Although most do not say that RN experience is...

  20. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have read some studies, but I already stated that I don't agree with the finding of the limited research based on my own experiences. Should I just disregard 23 years of nursing experience because...

    "You are entitled to your opinion on the topic. You continue to call me names rather than address the content. If you wish to address the content, great. If you would rather call names and talk about...

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also have no doubt it will lead you astray along the way. Overconfidence in advanced practice is dangerous. This seems like a very assumptive statement to me....Just

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    2. If you have read them then why not share your critical review of them? Because the limited evidence I read does not line up with my own experiences, and I was expressing my opinion about my "own"...

  24. Little experience as an RN

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you will try and remember, I stated, I think, and my opinion is, that a nurse will be doing themselves an injustice. It was not meant to be an evidence based, learning tool. I did not realize...

    Mark Hill BSN replied to trein's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As you should know, through all of you "extensive" research on the matter, if a subject does not have enough evidence base research, it requires more research! A definitive explanation of a...
