  2. Are Entry Level FNP Programs worth it?

    Anonymous1257 replied to octopus510's topic in General Nursing

    Anonymous1257 replied to SpssSpss's topic in General Students

    Glad to help! If you're worried about worsening acute renal failure, or want to establish a trend in renal function, then I'd say repeating a creatinine clearance often is reasonable, hard to say...

  4. GFR vs. eGFR

    Anonymous1257 replied to SpssSpss's topic in General Students

    GFR is not currently a measurable value, so it's estimated, hence the "e" in eGFR. This is most often done using creatinine clearance because the majority of research into GFR was done using this...

  5. Reconsidering Nursing

    Anonymous1257 replied to mestiza98's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. PMHNP or FNP ?

    Anonymous1257 replied to Chocolate_RN85's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If psyche is what you enjoy, then go for the PMHNP. An FNP can't perform psychotherapy legally, at least in my state. Even if this differs in your area, your going to be a generalist attempting to...

  9. Who should run a psych unit?

    Anonymous1257 replied to Kungfuzed's topic in Psychiatric

    The simple answer is patient care. An ADN RN receives far more training in taking care of a psych patient's needs than someone with a bachelors in psychology. Psychology bachelors do not prepare...

  11. Thoughts on Accelerated Nurse Practitioner Programs for Non-nurses

    Anonymous1257 replied to speechie123's topic in General Students

    Do you have any healthcare provider experience? Direct entry NP programs are great for individuals who know what they're getting into, but are a major commitment. I encourage you to find an NP, PA,...

  12. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    Anonymous1257 replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  14. MSN vs DNP

    Anonymous1257 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it'll be unlikely that companies will start requiring MSN prepared APRNs to go back and get their DNP. A few big reasons I can think of off the top of my head are... 1) a DNP won't be able to...

  20. Straight to the MSN, skip the BSN postlicensure?

    Anonymous1257 replied to 777RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not familiar with those programs, but if you can get a BSN en route to the MSN and it takes the same amount of time, that sounds reasonable. Expense is always a big factor, all other factors held...
