    panamishe replied to jnf14's topic in Nursing Career

  4. Pursuing nurse practioner degree without RN experience

    panamishe replied to huangsoRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel like a few people in this discussion do not realize that MDs and DOs get literally 1000s of hours of training before they become independent practitioners. It's called residency and it consists...

  5. Why NP instead of MD, DO, or PA?

    panamishe replied to Loux's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I preferred to pursue medicine rather than NP mainly because I wanted more options in what I could do after completing school. It ended up being the best decision for me because I've decided to become...

  7. Pursuing nurse practioner degree without RN experience

    panamishe replied to huangsoRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  8. If you had to do it over again would you?

    panamishe replied to Tally4970's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I would since it was just a stepping stone on my way to medicine. But if I wasn't going to do medicine then no way would I stay in nursing! So many others have stated what I would say now but...

  11. RN/BSN to medical school?

    panamishe replied to jnf14's topic in Nursing Career

    panamishe replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

  17. Feel guilty calling myself a nurse

    panamishe replied to mb1949's topic in General Nursing

    There is still a major nursing shortage in America. The problem is that the big cities don't have as much need since many experienced nurses re-entered the work force when the recession hit. It costs...

  20. RN/BSN to medical school?

    panamishe replied to jnf14's topic in Nursing Career

    No. I basically did the classes separately. I mean, some of our nursing sciences count as pre-med classes...specifically anatomy, physio, and microbiology. But nursing school is hard so it is best to...

  21. Is there any problem being a pre-med nursing student...?

    panamishe replied to TJ_vladin's topic in General Nursing

    I was a pre-med nursing major and so were a few of my other friends. It is definitely possible! The anatomy, physio, and micro required by many nursing programs do count as pre-med classes as well....

    panamishe replied to jnf14's topic in Nursing Career

    panamishe replied to 10yearreunion's topic in General Nursing

    panamishe replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    that is an amazing idea! of course i'm a bit biased because that is almost exactly what i did. i did two years of biology/pre-med before i changed and got my BSN. then, over the next 3 yrs, i worked...
