  1. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    Dranger replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So one program out of hundreds? I have tons of PA/med school friends and not ONE of them had to set up their own clinicals or preceptors. Everything was rigidly laid out in structured clerkship...

  2. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    Dranger replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    That's the thing, no one wants to do the scut work. You have all these eager pre-nursing/nursing students who want to be RNs and as soon as they get their toes wet (1-2 years experience) many try to...

  4. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    Dranger replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am just amazed at the excuses everyone makes for lackluster NP programs out there that do a disservice to the profession. Just think if med schools (or PA programs to an extant) made students find...

  5. new grad NP passed ANCC, & just learned program did not receive accreditation

    Dranger replied to mag2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    I get the guinea pig part but why would anyone pony up the cash to be trial subjects for accreditation then cry foul when they graduate and pass boards. There a a bazillion NP programs out there, the...

  7. Army Nursing & ROTC Questions!!

    Dranger replied to B11A797R's topic in Government, Military

    ROTC is totally doable with nursing, however there are a few stigmas with nursing students in ROTC. Many of the other cadets look down on the nurses because many simply are not up to par with Army...

  8. Staffing Issues. (rant)

    Dranger replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, same with my hospital. The worst part is management tries to construe it like our staffing grid is better and makes statements like "nurses prefer total care nursing rather than having a CNA or...

  11. NP vs PA vs CNS

    Dranger replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

  12. Off the wall question about NPs

    Dranger replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would avoid SDN like the plague but there are sometimes some legitimate posts regarding NP/PAs (mostly from crossover posters that frequent the PA forums) I sometimes visit the physician assistant...

  13. So much doubt...

    Dranger replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A bachelors in general studies is completely useless and I have no idea why you went that route. Go for nursing if that's what you truly want because the BA in Gen studies won't get you anywhere. Just...

    Dranger replied to daetor2012's topic in General Nursing

    Dranger replied to daetor2012's topic in General Nursing

    "My only wish is to help other people in their time of need, I don't particularly care about the money or job opportunities." I give you two weeks on the job with that mindset..... I enjoy the pay and...

  18. What is a Calling to be a nurse?

    Dranger replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

    Calling is in and of itself a joke. Nursing profs have usually been out of the game for some long they start to believe the calling mumbo jumbo from their research into nursing academia and theory....
