    How do you explain the DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So what you are saying is that you still can't find any scientific evidence to support your view

    How do you explain the DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Then provide some objective data and explain why the most well funded medical PACs have been unable to fund or find one study that shows better outcomes when delivered by

    How do you explain the DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am saying what I have always stated that no matter the defined criteria that APRNs show equatable outcomes to their physician counterparts in similar situations, and with all the resources available...

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Texas Christain University NA program offers the first couple of semesters, which are all non-clinical, online to allow their SRNAs continue to work. I think with the mandatory DNP and mandatory 36...

    How do you explain the DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I know that physician and physician wannabes have been using that argument ever since they could not come up with any study to validate their own "superiority". What I know as a CRNA is that I have...

    How do you explain the DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Trying to compare costs between APRN school and medical school will never be a fair comparison since medical school and residency are highly subsidized, physicians in general make more than most...

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    How do you explain the DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Medical and physician residency is highly subsidized by federal and states monies. Little of APRN education in comparison is paid for out of state and federal monies. It takes about 1 million to train...

    How often do you do nerve blocks and PA Cath insertions?

    wtbcrna replied to Bluebolt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    CVLs, especially at smaller places, are still placed quite often for IV access d/t difficult IV stick. Also, just because the "sickest" patients are transfered doesn't mean there still isn't a small...

    How do you explain the DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    AndersRN, what exactly is your background? I am having difficulty believing that you are even an RN. Every post that you have made is denigrating the DNP and APRNs in general. Since you profess not...

    How often do you do nerve blocks and PA Cath insertions?

    wtbcrna replied to Bluebolt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One of my favorite books Resource for Nurse Anesthesia Educators: 9780970027962: Amazon.com: Books discusses how a technical skill like regional anesthesia takes 15 on average to become competent and...

    How do you explain the DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    An APRN is already a proven safe and effective provider with outcomes on par with our physician colleagues. The DNP validates the amount of credit hours that APRNs are already having to have, and the...

    How do you explain the DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    1. Anesthesia is a whole different animal than any other APRN profession. Nurse anesthetists have been around almost 100 years longer than any other APRN and in that time period nurse anesthetists...

    How often do you do nerve blocks and PA Cath insertions?

    wtbcrna replied to Bluebolt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sauce NP, just because your facility works this way does not make it representative of all anesthesia practices with CRNAs in them. All SRNAs are required to learn how to do CVLs, but some anesthesia...

    How often do you do nerve blocks and PA Cath insertions?

    wtbcrna replied to Bluebolt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There are a lot of CRNAs that do PNBs and CVLs as part their routine practice. PA catheters are generally left to whoever is in the CV OR often times it is an MDA but sometimes it is a CRNA. It comes...

    wtbcrna replied to psu_213's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I guess if you don't understand basic science at all then you could believe what she is saying. Vaccines are the number 1 health advance that medicine has ever had. There is no other medication that...

    Why DNP and not MD?

    wtbcrna replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Actually, that isn't true. NPs per research spend more time educating their patients and making sure they understand their diagnosis, how to manage their diagnosis (diet/exercise/proper hygiene etc),...

    Are any of you CRNAs concerned about the potential for automated Anesthesia?

    wtbcrna replied to atxslug's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Those machines are for light to moderate sedation. A CRNA's job encompasses so much more than that that isn't really worth worrying about unless you want to work your entire career doing GI clinic...

    Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    wtbcrna replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just your use of that term "mid-level provider" shows you don't know what you are talking about. APRNs aren't mid-level providers and they have never been mid-level providers. Do you even know who...

    DNP vs MD

    wtbcrna replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It isn't about trying to make comparisons between medical school and APRN school. Where it matters the most is comparing patient outcomes between physicians and APRNs, because if medical school was...

    DNP vs MD

    wtbcrna replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    JulesA that is your opinion. There are obvious differences in physician and APRN education, but my education was not APN deficient. I would say to anyone that thinks are education is deficient then...

    Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    wtbcrna replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You have no actual experience as an APRN you don't have a DNP, but from your vast experience as X you have determined that the DNP is a worthless degree?. Does that about sum it up? APRNs aren't...

    Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    wtbcrna replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So as a nurse you are against nurses using their terminal academic title, because only physicians, dentists, psycholologists, podiatrists, and optometrists should be allowed to use their academic...
