    DNP seems like a waste...

    wtbcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think it just shows the true opinion of that physician towards nurses/NPs. I think as the DNP/DNAP becomes more common it will be less of an

    Nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    wtbcrna replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No suggesting that the ones the author chose to review and not fully invesigate only meet his personal beliefs and do not correlate with findings of the CDC, WHO, AMA, or ANA. Basing EBP on one study...

    Nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    wtbcrna replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe I am an arrogant jerk but one that believes in protecting my patients by the use of advanced education and EBP. One article by one person doesn't have a lot of meaning when you are basically...

    Nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    wtbcrna replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I keep reading posts, but opinions without proof are nothing but opinions. I have provided massive amounts of research and refuted all sorts of popular myths. I have probably already refuted any study...

    Nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    wtbcrna replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No one is forcing you to get the vaccine, but if you want to work for the hospital then you will be vaccinated. You have the right to not get the vaccine and the hospital has the right not to continue...

    Nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    wtbcrna replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Everyone has a right to refuse vaccinations, but your employer also has the right to terminate your employment d/t your refusal. By the way I would be more than happy to dispute and debate any...

    DNP seems like a waste...

    wtbcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think a lot of depends on who is doing the hiring, if you are being hired by physician and there isn't a lot of DNPs/DNAPs in the area then they may see you as some kind of threat and not hire just...

    "Should Doctors Fire Their Anti-Vaccine Patients?"

    wtbcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Should Doctors Fire Their Anti-Vaccine Patients?"

    wtbcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I absolutely do not believe a parent has a right to not vaccinate their children unless they will never set foot in public for the rest of their lives. Someone's right to liberty ends when it...

    DNP-Prepared Generalist APRNs

    wtbcrna replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hi nomad. I was referring not to current/past training of APNs, but the future training model using Consensus standard. The new model places all APNs in the same pharm, phys, patho, health assessment...

    wtbcrna replied to Robb911's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good luck with everything! I read through your original post and it looks like you have done your homework on what it takes to be a CRNA. I did the long route to become a CRNA (CNA, LVN, BSN,...

    General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

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

    The problem right now is what other choice do we have. These children need surgery and we don't have an alternate method to anesthesia, yet. Hopefully, in the future we will find out the cause(s) of...

    Just finished my first semester. Ask me anything.

    wtbcrna replied to MeTheRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The funny thing after finishing school you will probably spend at least two months thinking there is something you should be doing every time you have a free minute. It's hard to get out of that...

    Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    wtbcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What about patient safety and protecting patients? Isn't it our job to protect patients (Do no harm). A surgical mask is only minimally effective and the majority of people don't wear them right or...

    Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    wtbcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And all that means is that an RCT has not been done. You are stating nothing more than conspiracy theory myth with absolutely no proof. At least provide some scientific evidence if you are going to...

    Secretary of the VAs response to Congress about CRNAs and proposed changes

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

    I don't think the ASA wants to do away with CRNAs, but I do think they want to completely control CRNA practice the way the do with AAs. The VA is trying to have some consistency by developing this...

    wtbcrna replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Everyone has the right not to not get the flu shot, but you do not have the right to employment. Every job has requirements and she knew this requirement for several years. By the way it has not gone...
