  1. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Bumex replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to what research? You mean the debunked Andrew Wakefield? There is no one against flu shots that believes in real science, with the exception of certain religious individuals. The flu...

  2. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Bumex replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    DO is not on par with ND. DO is based in actual science, not pseudoscientific

  3. Need Advice, No Longer Able To Be A Nurse

    Bumex replied to Just Peachy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is very wrong to do. As someone who does admissions for a RN program, we’ve caught several applicants trying to pull this over just to find a RN or LPN course or reference to transcript from...

  4. CNN-NP Exam

    Bumex posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone have experience with this certification exam? I found minimal information outside of the certifying body, I would greatly appreciate any

  5. CNN-NP Exam

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

    Some people I talked to said ANNA was helpful, others have said not so much. I didn't use it myself. I think it depends on your learning

  6. CNN-NP Exam

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

    I took mine and passed too recently. I found the online prep exam somewhat helpful, but there were large categories of knowledge on the exam not remotely covered on the practice test. I would still...

  7. CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    Bumex replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Probably got booted off for being misinformed and spreading misinformation. Their threads were similar to this garbage from OP. Total misinterpretation of facts and lacking any basic understanding of...

  8. CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    Bumex replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yup, looks like they are gone. We have a duty to stop people like this sharing junk science. 'Alternative opinions' on facts like this have no place in areas of science. Make the rest of us look...

    Bumex replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree. SDN moderators would immediately remove stuff like this person is posting/misleading

  10. FNP or AGACNP?

    Bumex replied to aka640's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Probably depends on area. In my area, most jobs are either ICU 100% or entire hospital

  11. FNP or AGACNP?

    Bumex replied to aka640's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    AGACNP 100%. Aside from the issues with FNPs working outside their scope with inpatients according to the consensus model, this is the entire point of

  12. CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    Bumex replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Why on earth is this necessary to say? This sounds incredibly smug for someone who seems keen on

  13. Any advantage that AGNP has over FNP?

    Bumex replied to alexamasan's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think nephrology clinic nursing might also be a consideration. That way you can learn bread and butter CKD cases and management. HD patients are complex as well, but I feel that management is fairly...

  14. What is your view using PhDc after you pass comprehensive examinations?

    Bumex replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have discussed the same topic with colleagues over both PhD(c) and DNP(c) use. My opinion of not using this has been shared by the majority. A former professor of mine had a PhD in physiology...

  15. Walden U PMHNP

    Bumex replied to hannahbe's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are plenty of online programs that are not Walden. Online is not synonymous with

  16. Walden U PMHNP

    Bumex replied to hannahbe's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Many facilities, including my own, will not hire grads from Walden, u of Phoenix, etc. There are good candidates that come from these places, but many more bad than the average program. NP school most...

  17. I can't believe this - wearing a mask during the test?

    Bumex replied to guest1059427's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If a mask can derail you on NCLEX, I have bigger concerns about you as a

  18. Shortest NP program

    Bumex replied to parla's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you’re concerned about short length and affordable, find a different career

  19. CNN-NP Exam

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

    Resurrecting- PenNpaper- did you do the practice

  20. Walden University FNP Program 2019

    Bumex replied to meltominoire's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The three Walden grads I hired to my clinic were absolutely useless. They could not do any clinical decision making without referencing algorithms, poor history taking skills, and did not know...

  21. DNP vs EdD

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

    This is not totally correct. Some universities run it as a research degree and some solely practice. Many EdD programs I have come across have full dissertation requirements. This is actually the...

    Bumex replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever they drank, it is obviously affecting the

  23. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Bumex replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Either this is a satirical joke, or we have a sheep here listening to one crazy debunked nutcase. This ‘book’ from Neil z. Miller is filled with mislogic and medical inaccuracies. By the way, the...

  24. Sign prescription for MD?

    Bumex replied to TXERRN84's topic in General Nursing

    I think it may even be considered a federal offense to sign the mds scripts. You’d likely get in more trouble than they

  25. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Bumex replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    No kidding it helps protect the person vaccinated, but that is the small picture. The larger picture is herd immunity. The few that cannot get vaccinated are then at lower risk. Furthermore, the...
