  4. Why DNP and not MD?

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am just stating what I have seen based on my experience working as a nurse... It's confusing to patients since the role of NP vs. MD/DO overlaps so much. The place I work forbid that... People are...

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Google is way off when it comes to physicians' salary... Even MGMA is off since they also use MD/DO who work part time and in academia... Bluebolt is someone who is doing a DNP and think he will be...

  6. How do you explain the DNP?

    AndersRN replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  10. How do you explain the DNP?

    AndersRN replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  11. How do you explain the DNP?

    AndersRN replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Such study is difficult to design in the first place... Claiming that there is equal outcome when HTN, DM are managed by NP vs. MD to imply that MD/DO = NP is ludicrous... You know that as a CRNA......

    AndersRN replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What is the nursing model when it comes to DNP? It's not like an NP would do something different than a physician when he/she diagnoses someone with anemia, UTI

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I stop answering her call because she seems to always want to talk about NP and how hard NP school is ... Another friend of mine that works on the same floor with her told me she does the same thing...

    AndersRN replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees
