  1. Who says nurses can't be scholars?

    divobari replied to Neuro Guy NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just have to say that any non-prescriber healthcare professional with any advanced degree, i.e. Nurse educator, Nurse administrator, Hospital CEO(Typically with MBA or MPH), Nurse Anesthetist(non...

  2. Overweight RN talked about

    divobari replied to VegGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is called poor workplace culture. Based on your encounter, it sounds like it leaves one wanting. I can only imagine how these types of nurses treat their clients and the kinds of biases and...

  3. Who says nurses can't be scholars?

    divobari replied to Neuro Guy NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am currently pursuing a DNP and am pleased with the skill that I have gained this far. There is clearly a divide in nursing. There are those who want it to be a labor intensive profession and...

  4. Why is our salary so low?

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

    Im not concerned. The negative, uninformed comments reflect on the person - not the profession. Some clearly have resentment for whatever reason... :-) Great

  5. Why is our salary so low?

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

    In my area, major hospital systems start NPs at $125k-140k, depending on experience... I spoke to a recruiter who was trying to persuade me to not become an AGNP and he said he got a psych NP $130k -...

  6. Why is our salary so low?

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

    Sounds a bit acrimonious, but I'll accept the warm wish... Thanks!

  7. Why is our salary so low?

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

    This is draining my energy. LOL! Ok. What is the point here? NP education - along with ANY education one receives - is what the individual makes of it. It also continues as a professional. We can...

  8. Why is our salary so low?

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

    yes, and in many major hospitals, you are calling an NP/PA at 02:00. also, have you ever worked with residents or fellows or attendings? Maybe it is because I am at an academic center, I see what...

  9. Why is our salary so low?

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

    Again, with all do respect, we do it to ourselves... Firstly, even if you have earned a doctorate in circus arts, you are a "DR." It is an academic title - not a physician copyrighted title....

  10. Why is our salary so low?

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

    I think that most people, even in other careers, generally don't know how to negotiate salary package. Think about all of the craziness that we put up with. I mean, look at the above comments about...

  11. Overseas Work...In Germany?

    divobari replied to Gu44mby's topic in International Nursing

    My wife and I lived in Germany for a few years. She tried to find work as a nurse through the military. They proved to be flakes. They will give priority to service members and their spouses, and...

  13. racist patients

    divobari replied to Rn 1979's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm african-american, Ivy-league educated, and lived in other countries(and it has nothing to do with the US military.) I speak 3 languages, and was born in Bronx, NY - the ghetto. I say that only...

  14. Lowest stress (still great pay) nursing specialties?

    divobari replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe try being a flu clinic. Yes, we should all strive for a great work-life balance. I do NOT believe that nursing is a calling, but you have to be committed to going above and beyond protocol....

    divobari replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    Sorry, I'm on vacation, so I'm avoiding my computer. You are on campus from roughly 9-5 and on fridays from 9-1. Clinical is on weds and thurs, from 7-3ish. The program is a little modified, so I'm...

  19. Would you recommend going strait to DNP after BSN program

    divobari replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Have you considered moving to another state for a year or two and work as an RN? There are so many areas of the country where you will be welcomed, with open arms.

  20. Columbia ETP 2016

    divobari replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    I hate talking about the job situation. As a new grad RN, it is hard to find a job, because of the "new-grad" issue. There is an abundance of new grads in NYC. Plus, people from all over the...

  21. Columbia ETP 2016

    divobari replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    My pleasure. I'm sorry about the delayed response. I was finishing up a paper that I had to hand in. Then, Christmas came... :-) I think that that program is quite intense, as is expected in an...

  22. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    divobari replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I hear you. My comment about the evidence may have been misinterpreted. Sorry for that. I am never interested in adding fuel to anyone's flame... There needs to be more interest in studying the...

  23. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    divobari replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    OK... 1/"1000's"(by the way, the link is empty). I never said that I didn't believe the evidence. Also, I know and believe in the available literature regarding comparable care. Remember, I am on...

  24. Columbia ETP 2016

    divobari replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey, I recently completed the ETP and thought I'd offer support to those waiting to hear back. I am also willing to debunk any myths about the program. Happy Holidays and try to forget that you...

  25. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    divobari replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    We can talk about what the evidence says, which I frankly don't believe that there is enough of. However, I certainly respect what IS available. The DNP is a personal choice that depends on what...
