About koreanjohn32

koreanjohn32 specializes in Emergency.

I'm a product designer/artist turned RN. I am currently working in the ED and love what I do. I would eventually like to become a FNP. Though I come from a family of doctors, I think nursing care is much more holistic in its approach to the patient. The medical model tends to look at patients at something to be "fixed." Whereas nursing approaches the whole person. I would like to imbue my nursing practice with this philosophy and eventually become a provider that also does this with my patients.

  1. Why DNP and not MD?

    koreanjohn32 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral

    AndersRN, its not dissimilar to essentially, practicing medicine after an 18 month ADN. It's surprising how much autonomy you're given as a new nurse. The question is, whether the NP is sufficiently prepared with the time given or the MD is perhaps ...

  2. Why DNP and not MD?

    koreanjohn32 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral

    Invitale, I'm no troll. If you read my profile, you'll see my stated goal....FNP. Starting in healthcare at 45, I feel the passage of time just a bit too acutely. When FNP was a Master's program (and still is), it felt reachable. Though I already...

    Thanks all. Moving on.

    Sailornurse, LOL. If someone puts their views on an online discussion board, it's called a discussion for good reason.

    Onon2RN, I'm speaking about this particular conversation. What may or may not happen elsewhere is besides the point.

  6. Why DNP and not MD?

    koreanjohn32 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral

    Bluebolt, that's exactly my issue....from what I've found, it doesn't do much to enhance the MNP. If it did, I wouldn't balk at the prospect.

    koreanjohn32 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral

    It's interesting....up til now, I've refrained from posting on allnurses precisely because I've seen the level of diatribe between "professionals." But seriously, I've appreciated the input from most of you. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I...

    To all you haters, rather than being demeaning and rude for an honest question, for which I still haven't come to a decision about which path to choose, you fit the stereotype of nurses who "eat their young." Stop living the stereotype.

    Invitale, why so hateful? It's relative effort vs. Outcome.

  10. Why DNP and not MD?

    Goldenfox, thank you for your comment. I understand the competitive nature of medical school...I come from a family of doctors. My grandfather was one of the first western educated MDs in Korea under the Japanese occupation. My current GPA is 3.9....

  11. Why DNP and not MD?

    koreanjohn32 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral

    Radiantforce, I'm very happy to be an RN. After a successful yet not fulfilling career in industrial design, I became an RN at 45. I LOVE what I do. But, I'm realistic about perception. Loving and valuing yourself is one thing, however realistic pub...

    Thanks for the thoughtful reply. That actually really helps me

  13. Why DNP and not MD?

    koreanjohn32 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral

    I understand. I actually want to be an NP as well, but just not spend more than what is currently required by law, to essentially get more education for something that doesn't further my scope of practice. If you're already an NP, then it makes sens...

  14. Why DNP and not MD?

    koreanjohn32 replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral

    Why is it illogical? I'm an RN trying to decide if I want to go for an advanced degree that allows me to become a provider. But if I have to spend just about as much time doing it, why stop short of being an MD, with, sorry, a lot more stature and ...

  15. Why DNP and not MD?

    koreanjohn32 posted a topic in Doctoral

    I'm really curious about why the AACN wants all NPs to become DNPs. I understand the notion of "advancing nursing practice" but I think that there's going be a backlash towards this because (1)if you get the additional education, it doesn't mean you...
