  1. BS+RN+??=MSN?

    Boomer MS, RN replied to pistolpete02's topic in General Nursing

    I think these comments are very wise. An advanced practice role is not the same as an RN. Adequate RN experience can only enhance and benefit an NP, CRNA, CNM or CNS. I think more than two years are...

  2. Does where you go for graduate nursing school matter?

    Boomer MS, RN replied to lyndsmar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have to admit this is a passionate topic for me. I feel strongly that all RNs should be prepared at the baccalaureate level. Should every RN have a master's? In a perfect world, maybe, maybe not....

  3. Does where you go for graduate nursing school matter?

    Boomer MS, RN replied to lyndsmar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am probably in the minority here, but I do think it matters on some level where you go to graduate school. Having said that, most of the schools are fine institutions, including Case Western and CU....

  4. No pain meds in ER??

    Boomer MS, RN replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Emergency

    As I "liked" the comment, one size does not fit all. Here is yet another example. We need to be better educated. Physicians too. And I'm married to a

  5. No pain meds in ER??

    Boomer MS, RN replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Emergency

    Esme, I have been reading this site for several years and only joined last December. I have, however, followed your comments for a long time and before you became so ill. It is a relief to hear from...

  6. MSN to NP....how?

    Boomer MS, RN replied to Idahome's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I looked at the Hopkins' curriculum from the link and see that it is a new program that started last fall. I was impressed with the courses. A nurse colleague went to Sonoma State a few years ago for...

  7. MSN to NP....how?

    Boomer MS, RN replied to Idahome's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have been accepted to a very fine academic institution. Congratulations. This sounds like the CNL program from what you describe. As I said above, when one graduates from a CNL program, that...

  8. Drawing up meds

    Boomer MS, RN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    This is how I practiced too. I needed a witness only for a waste or return for peds and adults. The policy at your hospital may be

  9. MSN to NP....how?

    Boomer MS, RN replied to Idahome's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From what I understand what the OP wrote, she/he is applying to a direct entry MSN/MS program, which is designed for those who have a bachelor's in another discipline. There are several types of the...

  10. Would you report possible diversion?

    Boomer MS, RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    LVNs were allowed to carry keys at that facility way back then. I went to see her in the ICU and do not know if she knew it was I who had instigated the investigation. She admitted to management to...

  11. Would you report possible diversion?

    Boomer MS, RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This has been an interesting discussion. Why I decided to post is to offer more support to the OP and to the nurse who may be diverting. I do feel it is the OP's professional responsibility to go to...

  12. BSM/MSN Pre-Specialty Programs

    Boomer MS, RN replied to mrisajne's topic in General Nursing

    I'm new to AN but have been reading on the site for sometime. I saw a question I could answer so joined. Direct entry master's program vary. Based on one previous response, I can add some information...
