I am starting grad school to become a psychiatric mental health nurse When I am done I will be qualified to sit for my license as both an NP and a CNS. I want to know if anyone out there has started their own practice, how they financed it, if they ...

CONCLUSION: As hypothesized, management of patients who required prolonged mechanical ventilation with tracheostomy had equivalent outcomes with the ACNP team or the fellows team ( Hoffman LA, Miller TH,Zullo TG,Donahoe MP. 2006 ). respir care ______...

I don't know the whole arguement for this but I do know a NP or CNS rather that is head of outpatient general psychiatry.

just wanted to remind people we already DO have "doctor nurses" they have PhD's ... did people forget this or something...

First of all the "just nurses" thing is just totally uncalled for. Nurses don't WANT to be medical doctors. Second.. I have read the AMA's little plans... and they are just that... plans...personally I don't like the DNP I prefer the PhD. However, th...

Well we have to at least consider the money... I don't know when you went through college, but I will owe over 130,000 bucks when I'm done (just for 2 years!). I think that an extra 2-3 years of school at 700-800 dollars per credit is definately som...

get your msn its worth it, there's no way there gonna push this through!

here here!

I am still currently in grad school so I have been exposed to a lot of the speculations pros and cons and have read up on it. I have decided that the DNP is a horrible decision to begin with, not to mention making it required as an entry to practice ...

talk to the people at suffolk community college they have an ADN program and its inexpensive. talk to a live person. there is no reason you shouldn't be able to do it... also there are programs called masters entry programs that you can apply for......

You can do it, it seems like you have lost a lot of confidence in yourself. You have to keep in mind that you've been through an awful lot recently and its simply not possible sometimes to just forget it all. My dad was 50 when he went to nursing s...

what is a nursing entrance exam? is it the GRE? I'm confused cause I never had to take an entrance exam

I was getting in the 70's on sauders and passed with 75 questions! I think they are much harder in that book which is good.

most likely you passed if you felt you did a good job studying. If you failed at 75 questions that means you had to have gotten allot wrong... if you were doing "eh" then it would have kept going to see if you'd do any better before deciding. I'm s...

So what did the doctor say in response. Its sounds legitimate to me that you would not want to continue morphine (at least at that drip rate) if the respirations were 6? I was more curious about the situation... I think the above advice is all good...

Yeah but who said anything about an emergency, maybe some want to work in this area but not most. And as far as needing to work side by side with a physician, that is just simply untrue. some do yes, but many many don't. Most go into community or ...

i saw this book and when i get a chance i want to read it. i am relatively new in the nursing field (i am in a masters entry program). when i found out about nursing i had a very stereotypical "white hat" view of nurses and what they do. i really ...

I wouldn't worry too much about your grades 10 years ago. Do well on your pre reqs (that doesn't mean you need all A's allthough that would be nice!). In addition I think (depending on the essay question of course) you should explain your mothers w...

I did my synthesis at McLeans its an awesome hospital and the role of the nurse there seems very valued. I loved every minute of it. The only downside is the hospital has lower pay than surrounding hospitals... however despite that none of the nurs...

I had a bs in neuroscience (although some of my classmates had bachelors in finance and english) and I am in a masters entry program and received my RN in one year, and will continue on in my second year to be an NP/CNS (its a 2 year masters program)...

go into a masters entry program. BS can go into higher management ranks where as it can be difficult if not impossible with an associates (depends where you live) many positions require at least a bachelors.. If you get your masters and become an ...

....and a black pen on a string (to go around your neck) so no one steals your pen and so you don't lose it at clinical. I learned this after losing many many nice pens.

I would say a nursing diagnosis book. Saunders NCLEX review book (even if she isn't taking the nclex for a while these books help allot with studying for tests) OHHHH a really awesome not too expensive book (or sometimes books if its the two volume e...

Hey paula, no worries. I have a great test plan. get a kaplan book ( buy the 2003 version its cheaper and it doesn't matter). Get a new (or current) saunders NCLEX review book with CD ROM. Get a book called nursing made insanely easy (some places...

since we are talking about sweating, I don't sweat too much, but I always sweat a ton on my face, I feel like I am dripping when it gets slightly warm. I don't know if there are any treatments for that. anyone know... this is why I like fall weathe...
