  1. What to expect the first semester of nursing school

    Malenurse1235954 replied to KWRN29's topic in General Students

    I studied the power points and made flashcards for pharmacology. In clinicals we were basicly CNAs since our skills repertoire was mostly how to wash our hands. Before long you will be passing meds...

    Malenurse1235954 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Assuming one could get into NP school at 2.5 GPA not just meet the minimum requirements. If this is true I think this is more of a supply demand issue. Schools need to pay instructors etc so they need...

    This is very misleading. Some specilities can go as long as 7 years but these are not areas NP currently practice. If we were compare a FNP to their closest counterpart Family Medicine (FM) we are...

    Malenurse1235954 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From 2005 Does RN experience relate to NP clinical skills? - PubMed - NCBI There are more recent studies showing the same thing if you are intrested. I'm sure this is as hard for experenced RNs going...

    Malenurse1235954 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  10. BSN premium on the table.

    Malenurse1235954 replied to tokmom's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I read some studies that BSN nurses have better outcomes or something to this effect. Assuming I remember the study correct, BSN nurses should earn more and the higher pay should be incentive for ADNs...

    Malenurse1235954 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Malenurse1235954 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Despite you opinion, there is research proving prior experence isnt necessary. It is a relic of NPs beginning back in the 60s when MDs would train experenced RNs on the job. The point of the thred is...

    Malenurse1235954 replied to algnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  21. Is $28,000 worth it becoming a Surgical Tec

    Malenurse1235954 replied to Blue Robin's topic in General Nursing

    Malenurse1235954 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think this is old world thinking. NPs began in the 1960s as on the job training with little to no academic training. In this sense erra, NPs really were less equipped and required physician...

    Malenurse1235954 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
