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

   Just to add some icing, by your logic, if I dropped out of school now and went back to work as an NP, my ability to provide patient care would be better than if I decided to do family medicine. I mean...

2. Stop the preceptor madness!

   Aromatic replied to Rocknurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Elk, i think you, jules, many others and I are on the same train. We all love NPs but the lack of regulation is killing us. The people who tout NP=MD are scary folk.... to think they can handle...

   Aromatic replied to Jules A's topic in Advanced Practice

   I am not sure about you but I have a callous on my forehead trying to prove my point. NP education is too lax. Those who do not believe it are delusional and base their case of 15 year old studies....

   Never said less education is better, just that people without degrees can be ultra successful, even though most that do not have them are not. You are correct in saying that you can learn everything...

   Solid anatomy class, physiology class, basic cell bio/genetics, pathology class, then system based review. physical exam class and a standalone pharm class with pharm integrated into the above 1500...

6. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

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

   I spent an hour probing for these studies, they are all out dated. Which they were probably not wrong back in the day before standards dive bombed. But it takes an inherent belief that nurses are...

   Aromatic replied to Jules A's topic in Advanced Practice

   We cant judge peoples intelligence just by their level of degree. Plenty of people do amazing without degrees and one could say us degree people required collegiate handholding to succeed. College is...

8. Stop the preceptor madness!

   Aromatic replied to Rocknurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Med students have core rotations which are assigned to you, then we can do electives which arent that hard to find at most places. I mean once I start clinicals I doubt I could get a rotation at MGH,...

   internet or distance education itself is fine, but many of these schools dont have proctored tests. some do via testing centers or webcam monitoring but many do not. How can you evaluate somebody if...

    Aromatic replied to Rocknurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    lol best movie ever. I mean best prophecy ever. Back to what jules said. The only way I feel we can get anything done is expose to the public how weak np education standards are, and incit a backlash...

    Aromatic replied to Jules A's topic in Advanced Practice

    No doubt, I wouldnt have gone to college at all, Woulda stayed in my parents basement and done something computer related until I could monitize it. Unfortunately I took the weak route through nursing...

12. Best Specialty for an RN before becoming an FNP?

    Aromatic replied to Nimrodel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you are dead set on being an np (i agree with jules PA would be better if you dont want to be a nurse at all) I would work in the ER, pick up a good graduate level clinical anatomy book, read up on...

    Aromatic replied to Rocknurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I literally have no idea what this myoglobin person is ranting about. Usually trail off around the 3rd or 4th line, but I did read one of the posts and it was enough to make me not want to read the...
