  1. To those who like their nursing job....

    Dranger replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on my run and the day. I go up and down with a like/hate feel. One thing is for sure...I can't do bedside

  2. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

    Dranger replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So basically you are saying NPs are just as good as MDs right? I guess docs take those classes for fun and giggles right? I mean since gross anatomy or histology adds nothing to being a

  3. Work a hard job as a PCT, or stay at my cushy jobs?

    Dranger replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in General Students

    At first glance I would say no to aide because contrary to what people say here not being an aide in school sets you back maybe a month of experience in real life with regard to changing linens and...

  4. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

    Dranger replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    By that rationale I should read a few journals and buy a few books off Amazon then slap a provider label on my business cards. The whole point of the critics here is that this type of education you...

  5. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

    Dranger replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sure there are 3 hard science classes but riddle me this. Where is histology, embryology, toxicology, gross anatomy with cadaver dissection, cell biology etc etc that every med school has? We get it,...

  6. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

    Dranger replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    More science pre reqs would weed people out from the NP lemming procession and we can't be having that. Even classes I took in undergrad like Zoology have helped me in the healthcare field and I don't...

  7. How will a "General Discharge" from the military affect my chances of employment?

    Dranger replied to NationalGuardNurse's topic in Government, Military

    I agree with what you are saying but Rua does have a point. Somewhere along the guaranteed paychecks, delusional dependents, slacking service members, entitlement and mega-posts there is a sense of...

  8. Is nursing worth it?

    Dranger replied to 2016New's topic in General Students

  9. Why your local physician group is wary of hiring a new graduate nurse practitioner

    Dranger replied to chillnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Voice of reason!

  10. NP in the Military

    Dranger replied to OCRN3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In the Army not much (some clinic work/there aren't many slots) but they use PAs at all levels A LOT. PAs are essentially used as doctors overseas and PCPs stateside referring only complicated cases...

  12. Part-Time NP Programs: Opinions?

    Dranger replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can you go to PA or med school part time or online? There is your answer. If other provider education circles aren't doing it then I think that fact alone is very

  13. Nurse practitioner Salary

    Dranger replied to chillnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know a few PAs hitting close to 200k (many 150k with normal hours). Out in my area PAs make a bit more because they staff specialized areas while NPs dominate primary

  14. ACNP Question

    Dranger replied to WitnessRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Umm the ER or ICU nurses in my hospital don't intubate or put in chest tubes. That is a very rare skill for an

  16. Can we discuss Nursing caps and Hairstyles?

    Dranger replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    Caps? As a male I wouldn't even show up to graduation if I had to wear

  17. Not to beat a dead horse... But KAPLAN?

    Dranger replied to cassi_future_RN's topic in General Students

    I thought it was useful if you have difficulty taking standardized tests. I found it also helpful for the

  18. Online Chemistry

    Dranger replied to 1soon2brn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the chemistry. Real inorganic or o-chem meant for pre-med? No way in hell. Even so I caution anyone taking online chem, physics or A and P. Maybe general

  19. Signing a contract with a hospital to pay for tuition

    Dranger replied to Swanie D's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lol good luck finding that kind of deal anymore. New grads are lucky to even find a job let alone a hospital job that pays for their entire

  20. Army Nurse Corps FY2014

    Dranger replied to jdubu22's topic in Government, Military

    Optional? Man after my 5 year path to commissioning I was so excited and proud to take my oath. Ugh....AMEDD... No it's not optional....I am not trying to disparage you, but I wish there was either a...

  21. Can permanent residents join the Army Nurse Corps as an officer?

    Dranger replied to JasonKa's topic in Government, Military

    I can assure you in today's climate they will only look at you if you are a citizen, much less red tape for a clearance. So in short you need to be a citizen. Same with BSN even though it says ADN or...

  22. Diagnosed ADHD before nursing school. Will this disqualify me from joining the USAF?

    Dranger replied to tag14's topic in Government, Military

  25. First Clinicals; what to bring?!

    Dranger replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

    Lol I am a critical care nurse and I don't even bring half that crap to work. Pulse ox and hemostats in LTC? Really? Bring a pen light, stethoscope and a pen/notebook. You don't need anything
