  1. Little experience as an RN

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

    Your entire statement was condescending from the jump. You "assumed" (and of curse you know what that does) that I have not read the evidence that is out there. Your assumption, of course, would be...

  2. Little experience as an RN

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

    When you can cite several hundred, or even dozens of quantitative, and qualitative studies, then you can bore us with your claims. Until then, you are simply demonstrating anecdotal evidence at best,...

  3. Little experience as an RN

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

    I'm not sure that hospital experience is any more important than experience in general. It looks to me that you have a significant amount of experience on different levels. The MD did not expound on...

  4. Little experience as an RN

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

    If you had read my statement, you would have seen that I said "I think" (which would imply my opinion...duh) that it would be feasible. Now, I would also "think" that in my 23 years as an ER/ICU...

  5. Little experience as an RN

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

    I think is feasible, but you are doing your self an injustice by not having more experience as an RN before entering NP school. I am graduating from NP school in few months. One of my preceptors...

  6. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would certainly hope that a prospective employer would choose an employee based on what THEY have to offer, and not on the assumed reputation of any given university. Your statement makes...

  7. Walden University has new FNP and AGNP Programs

    Mark Hill BSN replied to kenyohunt1's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes there are more (shorter papers) and test during the practicums. the didactic is just as hard or harder, and then you have the clinical hours.....grueling thus

  8. A spouse that just doesn't get it.

    Mark Hill BSN replied to megkat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes we as nursing students fall into this idea that we are the only ones sacrificing for the sake of school. The reality is, that everyone around us is also sacrificing so that we can better...

  9. Walden University - the latest on the FNP program

    Mark Hill BSN replied to msa9179's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can tell you that ALL of my instructors have had impeccable resumes...For example, my Advanced Pharmacology teacher has been a practicing NP at a large teaching hospital in Ohio for 12 years, and a...

  10. Walden University has new FNP and AGNP Programs

    Mark Hill BSN replied to kenyohunt1's topic in School, College Programs

    I am finishing the last of the specialization courses as we speak...I have not found the specialization course to be any harder than the core courses to be honest, but personally don't like theory,...

  11. Stay away from Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to BLACK HAWK's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My experience has been that most family practice MDs will want NPs while surgeons will want PA, but it will really just be a matter of preference. PAs are taught on he medical model and NPs are on...

  12. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here are more examples of academic bigotry at it finest. You both are taking every opportunity to attempt to dismantle any credibility that Walden has....and for what purpose, to make people feel...

  13. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure what the associated deans affiliation with the CCNE has to do with our conversation, other than she would certainly know what the curriculum requirements would need to be to be CCNE...

  14. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We can agree on one thing for sure. Walden like many online universities are not for everyone, in fact I will suggest that they are probably not for the majority. I know from the high attrition rate...

  15. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It doesn't offend me, but I doubt you would be sorry if it did. I suggest, just like I do to everyone with whom I have these types of conversations, if you don't like the way the system is, take it...

  16. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Regardless of the topic, nursing or otherwise, profit as apposed to non-profit wont change. Now we can argue about the quality of education one might receive, but unless we both graduated from one...

  17. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are mistaken I'm not picking on anyone, I am just simply arguing the finer points of profit vs non-profit. You picked the school that we are currently critiquing. I would really have preferred...

  18. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Regardless of anyone's opinion, online, for-profit school are here to stay, and will likely take over education in the future. Just as for-profit hospitals aren't going anywhere, and in many cases do...

  19. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If your recall we never specified what field we were talking about. We just simply spoke of for-profit vs non-profit. Football teams bring in millions of dollars to there prospective schools, does...

  20. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This conversation has resorted to chasing rabbits down badger holes. My original point was to say that the non-profit schools are spending their money somewhere, and that somewhere is obviously on...

  22. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I stand corrected on the top 250 thing, but as far as the cost o living thing goes, it is just one more reason I would never live on the west coast. I have a brother and other family who live there,...

  23. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not begrudging them their salaries, I am simply making the argument that much of this so call "non-profit" money goes to someone's profit, and that the largest expense for a university goes to...

  24. Credibility of Walden University

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was not insinuating that all department chairs make a million dollars.... I stated they are making millions to say that accumulatively they make a lot of money, accounting for much of the bottom...

    Mark Hill BSN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Juan, I originally applied at a university here in Mississippi after taking the GRE and jumping through all of the hoops and was subsequently placed on a reserve list, and would have to wait until...
