  10. Hospital NPs & Lounge Access

    The hospitals in my area have open access to NPs and PAs. I can't imagine what is so "special" that your facility has blocked this. Wonder whose ego has been tromped! You may want to do a "survey"...
  11. Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    First off ***HUGS***. If the family had no clue that their mother had brain cancer...it is a shock! I am sure the daughter is distraught and is fighting out because she can't yell at mom for not...
  17. MSN - Nursing Informatics

    One of reasons why there is drive for the DNP degree be for ARNPs as it is difficult to separate the ARNP/APRN from an APN. As Pixie, RN points out...generally the title of ARNP/APRN is reserved for...

    A DNP, just like a MSN, is a DEGREE, not a LICENSE. There is no REQUIREMENT for a nurse practitioner to have a DNP over a MSN. Pay is the same because you are paid by your license. You can choose...
