  1. Anyone else applying to PhD programs?

    Bumex replied to saheckler's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Good luck in your quest. I too, am studying LGBTQ+ disparities, only from the educational point of view. I'm currently doing research in my DNP, but I am considering MPH and/or PhD afterwards as I...

  2. A Fib in a young person...

    Bumex replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    I've also read case studies of caffeine abuse being implicated in patients whom were predisposed to tachyarrhythmias as young adults. Those are extreme cases

  3. Out of Practice NP - Which terminal degree?

    Bumex replied to NP1234567's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    May I ask what state you're in? I've never heard the EdD not being at least

  4. Outrageous Complaints

    Bumex replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    Had a patient's wife try to walk into a code (on another patient) and ask her husbands nurse for a refill on water. Got mad at her and myself (charge nurse) when I calmly asked her to wait at the...

  5. Mom Wants Me to Become an RN as Backup... But I Don't

    Bumex replied to RyanThePianist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To elaborate on my previous comment, I'm a faculty member at a large private university and I see students making the decision to go into nursing when they aren't sure what else to do or need a backup...

    Bumex replied to RyanThePianist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is not a fall back profession. End of

  7. Dr makes me feel so incompetent?

    Also had this happen to three different

  9. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

    Bumex replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The studies you are referring to I believe are primary care. It is erroneous to make a general assumption like this based on studies with minimal generalizability for their

  10. FNP Oversaturation

    Bumex replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agreed with Jules, definitely depends on the market. You may not have a problem with rural areas, but the only way to be sure is to

  11. Charge nurse after 1.5 years on unit

    Bumex replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

  12. I'm an NP student - How did you choose your specialty?

    Bumex replied to abc616's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can you furnish some links? Regardless of the outcome, I love to read newer peer-reviewed

  13. Nautoropath ND as a preceptor?

    Bumex replied to MNRN22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think my program would have laughed at the thought of a ND

  14. What happened to all the Walden Haters?

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

    Maybe you should go back and read his post that I quoted. I'm not putting him down, I'm merely saying he did not prove his point. Monetary success does not measure clinical skill. This is how a true...

  15. I'm an NP student - How did you choose your specialty?

    Bumex replied to abc616's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No kidding, your criticism on my post is the exact point I was making to the post I quoted. I'm merely conveying to this student that they were being oxymoronic. Critiquing someone's opinion with no...

  16. I'm an NP student - How did you choose your specialty?

    Bumex replied to abc616's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you have proof that 5 years experience as a RN does not link to better outcomes? Can you prove those new grad NPs that took care of you were inexperienced RNs? Also, PTs and PAs don't have a RN...

  17. where to take advanced physiology and pathophysiology

    Bumex replied to Wenliu's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This makes very little sense. You are in a program that requires you to take clinical this fall but you 1) haven't taken the required three P's and 2) they don't offer it? I feel there are other...

  18. I'm an NP student - How did you choose your specialty?

    Bumex replied to abc616's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To go off what the OP said, these programs are facing huge opposition on many terms. There are two programs in my region alone that have abdandoned these types of programs due to criticism and failure...

  19. Nautoropath ND as a preceptor?

    Bumex replied to MNRN22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Personally I feel like this is a bit strange. I've never heard of this in school before, did they give you a reason why this would be a better choice than a physician or NP? If it is merely out of...

  20. Nursing degree after Biology degree

    Bumex replied to Eboehler's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I teach both applied pathophysiology and med surg 1 at the university level in a nursing program- patho is challenging is the sense of memorizing; med surg 1 mixes patho/pharm/assessment and makes the...

  21. First day of teaching in a class

    Bumex replied to NGYSUN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Avoid death by PowerPoint, students will get bored and ultimately not learn anything. I like to constantly ask them questions, "why would we do his instead of this?" Making sure they maintain some...

  22. what are my chances of getting into a BSN program?

    Bumex replied to Bmike23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your heart isn't in nursing, you'll likely either fail out of nursing school as well, or more likely burn out of the career. More to the point, nursing school is not easy, and if you haven't been...

  24. CNN-NP Exam

    Bumex replied to Bumex's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Right, the cnn-np is the nncc np level cert. it is mentioned on ANNA. I just can't find many who have actually had specific experience with the NP level

  25. Stress level: RN vs. NP

    Bumex replied to NEMurse95's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Today I will see roughly 40 patients at three different LTC. I am a specialist so that number isn't nearly as daunting at face value. However, it will still take me roughly 12-13 hours including...
