  1. Why is our salary so low?

    AndersRN replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    @JellyDonut... NP are expert in what? Because you work in a specialty, that does not mean you are an expert in that particular specialty. You guys play with words like they don't mean anything......

    AndersRN replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am all for foreign docs to do NP here... I welcome that so these diploma mills can disappear when people who graduate from them can't get no jobs... The whole NP stuff has become a scam for the most...

  8. Medical Board Nursing Board Whats up?

    AndersRN replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How come studies show NP outcomes on B/P, DM and hyperlipidemia are equal or better than physicians? That clearly indicates NP know more than physicians

  9. Do You get Upset When you are Called a Physican Extender

    AndersRN replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone who has a doctorate should introduce themselves as doctor in hospital setting, period! PT/OT/PharmD/DNP/AuD--you guys/gals have earned your degree. Who cares if patients get

  10. NP vs CRNA vs CNM

    AndersRN replied to Mpompo838's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not using my RN license does not mean that I am out of the healthcare industry, and don't interact with healthcare professionals etc... I do on regular basis--even with employers. What say you when...

  11. NP vs CRNA vs CNM

    AndersRN replied to Mpompo838's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't post any negative comments about NP... I just stated facts about what could have been a good profession, but failed leadership has driven it to the ground. Nothing personal! I have many...

  12. NP vs CRNA vs CNM

    AndersRN replied to Mpompo838's topic in Post Graduate Students

  13. NP vs CRNA vs CNM

    AndersRN replied to Mpompo838's topic in Post Graduate Students

    AndersRN replied to Mpompo838's topic in Post Graduate Students

    DMV has fewer spots, but is not as competitive as MD... Let's face it: They don't have to take the MCAT. They only have to take the GRE. Modern IQ ranges for various

  16. NP vs CRNA vs CNM

    AndersRN replied to Mpompo838's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree with many things you said in your post, but it is what is it right now... Admission to NP school on 'average' is very lax. Of course there are VERY good NP schools... However, NP school has...

  17. Do You get Upset When you are Called a Physican Extender

    AndersRN replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you want someone with a doctorate in sociology to introduce him/herself as Dr So and So in hospital setting? PharmD and JD don't have an inferiority complex; that might be the reason they don't do...

  18. DNP Fluff

    AndersRN replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    AndersRN replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree that it might be hard to validate my latter statement, but when a selection process is more rigorous, you are more likely to recruit 'smarter'

  22. DNP Fluff

    AndersRN replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees
