  1. From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

    nikkijay posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all! I'm still caught in a heavy debate with myself over going into nursing. I do want to be a medical practitioner, but I would also like to be a medical researcher. To be more specific, I'm very...

  2. From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for responding. Yes, this sub-speciality within nursing is small indeed. BSN programs do not allow this focus, but graduate level programs do allow for this type of training (such as UPenn, UW,...

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can we start off with the understanding that people unfamiliar with biomedical/biological research in nursing shouldn't have bothered to respond? I didn't actually ask for a suggestion, and given...

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The advice given doesn't appear to come from a place that is knowledgeable about what I'm trying to do. So, I can take the advice of the people on this board or the people I've spoken with...I'm going...

  6. From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for responding. I should back up and explain myself. When I refer to nursing as medicine, I am referring to advanced practice (nurse practitioner). In that role, one does indeed practice...

  7. From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for responding. I lumped nurses into medicine because I think it is an extremely valuable and irreplaceable aspect of medicine, not because I think less of it. I don't believe doctors would be...

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. I disagree with you, but then, I know more about myself and my goals than I've taken the time to share here. I'm not worried about time, as I'm well aware of the...

  9. From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for taking the time to respond :) Yes, most nursing research is geared to improving patient outcomes, community health/prevention, etc, which isn't exactly what I'm looking for...interesting,...

  10. From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Was so excited to find the Journal of Biological Research for Nursing (http://www.sagepub.com/upm-data/2678_1BRN00_.pdf). I'm feeling infinitely more hopeful now that I know that there are biological...

    I appreciate that you all took the time to respond; I think the information that I'm looking for is best provided by advanced practitioners and researchers in the field. I realize that what I'm trying...

  13. From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is medicine...I'm not really sure where you were going with that statement. I'm quite aware of the hard road ahead of me, so I don't really need to be spoken to like a child off on a wild...

  14. From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for responding. I've got quite a bit of searching to do yet. So far, I'm not quite finding what I'm looking for...there was a poster here that stated that one of her nursing professors worked...

    nikkijay replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for your response. My comment referred specifically to nurses that are PIs. Of the few that I've been able to find, all were leading research, but it wasn't their own work. A person can be the...

    nikkijay replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just turned 30 this year, and I'm hoping to start pre-reqs in the spring/fall 2014. My goal is to my NP, and I most likely won't finish that until I'm almost 40. I was a bit discouraged about how...

    nikkijay posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sooo...I've recently made the decision to go into Nursing from Counseling. I'm hoping to go to a local community college for my pre-reqs; luckily enough, I only need A&P I&II and Microbio,...
