  2. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    synaptic replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I read the description pretty thoroughly, they try to play it off as an attempt to save the government money. Discussing the cost of medical residency to our government blah blah. Essentially, if you...

  3. Failed FNP AANP again (4th time) seriously I give up!

    synaptic replied to Wakes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    do lots of practice questions and such and read rationals. until you can pass the practice exams by a long shot you are not ready.

  4. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    synaptic replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Doctor of medical science lol. The coordinator for LMUs pa program actual gave a speech last year saying that PAs did not want to be doctors and all this other worthless stuff. Then the next year they...

  5. Confessions of a Hospital Administrator: I Feel Your Pain...Pill

    synaptic replied to ServantLeader's topic in Emergency

    Back when I worked the hospital, you may slip by once or twice, and get some medication, you know, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt the first time or two. But we kept pretty close tabs...

  6. Are they training me to be a nurse or a doctor?

    synaptic replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Usually nursing classes have NURS in front of them on the registration thing

  7. How far would you drive?

    synaptic replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Usually the distance is correlated with the pay. I like dollars and will do things for more dollars. Dollars talk, listen closely to

  8. The lesser of 2 annoyances

    synaptic replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm with psych guy, once my job is done I prefer my cats, wife, and computer to more people. of course quantitative numbers would be more realistic than great pay or ok pay descriptions. Great pay...

  9. Unhappy Speech Pathologist

    synaptic replied to SLPrnTobe's topic in General Nursing

    It will probably not be any better. the grass is usually not greener on the other end. You will have to deal with a lot more bs as a nurse than a SLP. Nursing is one of the most upsetting professions...

  10. How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    synaptic replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    Man when I was 19 i was playing video games and getting drunk all the time. Good job on keeping serious through the young years thats a hard thing to do. but they are probably just jealous because...

  12. Highest paid NP field?

    synaptic replied to JosephVelder's topic in Advanced Practice

    won't last though, once people catch wind of how simple it is to get an APRN degree wages will probably plummet, even for psych. No barriers to entry, no weed out classes, no having to do well on...

  13. Failing nclex 6 times

    synaptic replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In an ideal world, everybody that wants to be a nurse or doctor or whatever would be able to become one. Kittens also fart perfume and poop rainbows in this ideal world. Last time I cleaned out my...

  14. NP with an MPH?

    synaptic replied to aybanana's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If your only seeing patients then its better off saving your money. Nobody cares if somebody has DNP, MBA, JD, FCA, WWJD, etc behind your name, as long as you have NP, your billing for the same...

  15. Failing nclex 6 times

    synaptic replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    unwarranted praise only works in childhood. Unfortunately as a nurse people's lives are at stake. So lets say i kill a few people, according to china baby, the proper response would be "its okay there...

  16. LMU

    synaptic replied to Jayrose's topic in School, College Programs

    I did their asn, and msn there (harrogate campus). did bsn at knoxville campus. It varies on the teacher. Some are really good, some are not so good. A few are just there to give students a hard time...

  17. How to Find My Passion - Which Specialty is Right for Me?

    synaptic replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This post is too emotional and does not get down to the reality of things. People won't take nursing seriously if all we talk about is "passion" and "your natural gifts." Also, the question askers...

  18. Failing nclex 6 times

    synaptic replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would probably try to improve your english first. I mean, I am far from a great writer, but in order to understand questions you need to be able to read them.... nursing questions are notorious for...

  19. DNP or PhD How did you choose?

    synaptic replied to SarahEAW's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I chose to keep the money in my pocket and do neither, since you will probably never see any ROI. You can only raise the bar so high in nursing. You know those teachers that wrote our old med surg...

  20. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    synaptic replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Its just a big money scheme requiring a DNP. You know all those college are giving kickbacks to our pathetic nursing government body. I had my old school call me personally and ask me to do their DNP...

  21. Do pharma reps target you??

    synaptic replied to alfredlikes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I always found the younger women ones with low cut shirts to be annoying. I am a guy and id rather see a male pharm rep, bc on average they had a better idea what they were talking

  23. How to prepare for clinicals as an FNP student?

    synaptic replied to LKell's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Paying more to learn advanced practice basics? Wow, your school must be awful if you have to pay extra to attend something. If it was advanced practice basics should that not be included in the...

  24. Why DNP and not MD?

    synaptic replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think you've called everybody that disagrees with you on this forum a troll, CNA, wannabe(something). Obviously the world revolves around the great bluebolt who trys to brag about himself in every...

  25. Why DNP and not MD?

    synaptic replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I remember all of my nursing professors wanted to be called doctor, which in the classroom is ok. We had one that got her Dr degree midway through our program, who taught in our labs. She got mad when...
