  1. NP bridge programs, regarding ADVANCE article...

    Tim-GNP replied to Chris-FNP's topic in General Nursing

    My hats off to your buddy doing the Ph.D. in nursing theory. I am going for my Ph.D. but it is in Health Science Education. I just couldn't cope with a Ph.D. in nursing. I use nursing theory all...

  2. NP bridge programs, regarding ADVANCE article...

    Tim-GNP replied to Chris-FNP's topic in General Nursing

    Research... no, I have none. Non-RN to NP programs.... I am against them 100%. But please don't take it personally-- I have a great deal against a LOT of things with NP education. I am glad that...

  3. MSN for Non-nurses, your opinion...

    Tim-GNP replied to patty26's topic in General Nursing

    The programs of which you speak are all but extinct. To be eligible for ANCC accreditation [which is required in many states for NP licensure], an MSN is

  4. What Freaks You Out?

    Tim-GNP replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe i'm going to tell these stories, but here goes.... I lost it TWICE in my whole career.... both in nursing school. I HATED ob/gyn & peds [no surprise that I'm a Gerontological...

  5. MSN for Non-nurses, your opinion...

    Tim-GNP replied to patty26's topic in General Nursing

    I agree.... even the narrow focus of my NP role [Gerontological nursing] is overwhelming at times, and I worked for years as an LPN, & RN. 3 year MSN programs are not, by the way, advanced...

  6. BSN or BUST

    Tim-GNP replied to Rex's topic in General Nursing

    Rex, that was a very interesting and profound post. You helped make me think of a few things... After making multiple visits to this site,I fear that the bottom line is that nursing will NEVER be a...

  7. Your observations please

    Tim-GNP replied to Hypoxic Pixel Eyes's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous posters, I am an NP also, and there is little use in getting both an NP and a PA. If you want autonomy- go the NP route, if you want $$$ go the PA route [in many areas of...

  8. Medicare requirements for skin assessment on admission to skilled nursing home

    Tim-GNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    42CFR subsection 483.25© pressure sores: Based on the comprehensive assessment of a resident [they mean, the MDS/RAPS] the facility must enusre that- 1. A resident who enters the facility...

  9. PNP seeks help with GI on site protocols

    Tim-GNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a new GNP, I had to develop my own protocols for my practice agreements. I use the Gerontological version of this book: Management Guidelines for Pediatric Nurse Practitioners. By: Nancy Herban...

  10. What does your state require you to do?

    Tim-GNP replied to emtrn2k1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I know a fun little site to get CHEAP CEU's. It also gives a map of the U.S., and if you click on your state, it tells you how many CEU's are required in each state. I get my HIV course...

  11. Million Nurse March Information

    Tim-GNP replied to rncountry's topic in General Nursing

    There is also a dark side to agency work, though. "We'll call you when we have work available." Which really means, on a Saturday afternoon, they call you at 2:20 p.m. to find out if you could be in...

  13. What does your state require you to do?

    Tim-GNP replied to emtrn2k1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually in New York, we must have a class in HIV and one in identification of child abuse [i maintain my New York licenses as well]. You could get out of the child abuse one if you prove that you...

  14. What does your state require you to do?

    Tim-GNP replied to emtrn2k1's topic in General Nursing

    My state is a joke... there are NO ceu requirements for RN's or LPN's. CRNP's who wish prescriptive privilege [a new development in CRNP law] will have to obtain 16 CEU's in pharmacology biannually....

  15. Ulcerative colitis

    Tim-GNP replied to fergus51's topic in General Nursing

    Which, then, could add to the psychosomatic theory. If nicotine replacement fails to prevent the symtpoms, maybe there is more to the psychophysiologic theories then just a few research pieces....

  16. Ulcerative colitis

    Tim-GNP replied to fergus51's topic in General Nursing

    I like the lippincott manual of nursing practice. I hope this helps: Ulcerative colitis is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease of the mucosa and, less frequently, the submucosa of the colon and...

  17. How much further ahead of we than we were in 1887?

    Tim-GNP replied to rncountry's topic in General Nursing

    The only big difference nowadays is that boys can be nurses and girls can be doctors.... although after taxes, the wage sounds about

  18. BSN minimum requirement

    Tim-GNP replied to Lburns's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, when the discussion comes around as to minimal education for entry into practice, lines get drawn. Despite the 'eat s*** and die' mentality of many of the posters, it still comes down...

    Tim-GNP replied to Lburns's topic in General Nursing

  25. BSN minimum requirement

    Tim-GNP replied to Lburns's topic in General Nursing

    Since spreading strife is my greatest joy... I submit this idea: go to your favorite doctor, and ask him/her how many years they went to school. Ask them what kind of a degree they have. Then go to...
