    Time will tell. Let's look at the research 10 yrs from now. This is an interesting time to be in the healthcare profession for

  2. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But how can puppy mill NP schools produce quality NP's? Sure it's individual. Some NP's that come out of the puppy mill are great. But overall??? No thanks! Midlevels are the capitalists solution to...

  3. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I see the problem as healthcare and capitalism. Its all about the $$$$$ not pt care. That means all care will be delegated to the lowest rung on the pole in order to cut costs. If hospitals could...

  5. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    lol I just brought up surgeons as an example. Same could be said for any specialty as we are in a critical shortage of MD's across the board. If we keep steering students away from MD and into NP/PA...

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Tobra nailed it. My point was to expand your mind. Get you to think outside the box. I mean do you really think puppy mill NP schools are good for the general well being of our society??? Geeezzzz are...

    Crazynut replied to Nurse216's topic in General Nursing

    @suanna LOL! I just had a convo the other day with a fellow nurse. I will not be *that* nurse who can shoot the **** blow smoke up a pt's orifice like no other. But can't nurse myself out of a paper...

    Crazynut replied to Nurse216's topic in General Nursing

    Man I tell you. The joint commission is going over board with this pain mess. If the pt's goal is no pain we have to do everything we can. We have to do some intervention every hr until they meet...

    Crazynut replied to Nurse216's topic in General Nursing

    Bless you! This is what happens when we mix healthcare and capitalism. It just doesn't work! I see a future in advocacy for you. Nursing is not what it should be. And its a shame. But we can change it...

  10. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on the state. But I don't know any state that allows NP to perform surgery. I mean think about. MD has to sign off on midlevels. Can you imagine 1 MD and 100 midlevels? No wonder MD are...

  11. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The MD's I know are not worried about losing money to NP as they are not in private practice. They are genuinely concerned about pt

  12. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How can you not see the problem of having more NP than MD? I mean think about it. Think about scope of practice. NP can't perform surgery. The laws may change. But do you want the person performing...

  14. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know NP's that work with very difficult MD's. They make good money but are not satisfied. One has changed jobs several times only to find the same neg attitude towards NP. That's why I'm saying...

    Crazynut replied to TLSpaz's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Alot of it is politics. Organized labor has bottomed out. Not just nurses. Overall union numbers are down. There have been several court rulings against unions in recent years. Due to lobbyist and...

    Crazynut replied to TLSpaz's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    WVa too! Man i dont know why we cant stand up for ourselves. I like to think of it as psychological war fare. You have no idea the extent to which employers will go to in order to supress workers. I...

  17. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So what I really want to know is for all the NP's on here. Why did you pick NP over MD? If you go the MD route totally free. No loans. Would you do it? Because this is a real problem. And it effects...

  18. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's my point. All of this is based on economics. Its all about that $$$$$! Maybe if hospital admins didn't get paid millions they could afford to offer competitive pay for psych docs. But then...

  19. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I disagree. I think med school have become so strict with admissions that it is driving people away from the profession. Or driving people overseas. We are hammering in the nails in our own coffin....

    A purposeful act or extension of kindness to another is never wasted, for it always resides in the hearts of all involved in a chain of love. Molly

    I'm just jealous that you get to have a union. In the south we can't even say the "u" word. Maybe one day! Pick and choose your

  22. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it all boils down to the infrastructure of health care delivery in the US. It all boils down to the almighty dollar. Yes there's all kinds of research out there. But you have to look at who...

  23. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Crazynut replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Two thumbs up! Nurses are so defensive! Look I said to think twice because that's a wise piece of advice. I tell everyone to think twice before considering a grad school program. You have to look at...

    Crazynut replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You cant prove your argument right just like I cant. Im just presenting my side. Really none of us are right because the best solution is a balance between both sides. But seriously how do you not...
