  1. Why is our salary so low?

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

    Exactly! Online nursing degrees are a joke and it is a widely talked about joke. I would be embarrassed if a patient asked me where I got my degree and I told them xzy online school. How could I gain...

  2. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    HBrnGirl replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I almost peed my pants reading this. And some people on AN think that NP=MD.

  3. Hate my FNP job

    HBrnGirl replied to FNPCA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And your point is??? NP's need to understand, you are not queen bee of the medical community. Check the diva attitude at the door. You have significantly less education than an MD. Meaning you don't...

  4. Nurse practitioner vs Medicine turf war?

    HBrnGirl replied to Infofreak411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wait a minute here. You claim that NP's aren't trying to force MD's out of medicine. Yet there is an AN thread advocating for all NP's in primary care. Because an MD is not necessary in primary...

  5. Pulonary nodules--help!

    HBrnGirl replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is this real? And you wonder why I'm against independent practice. This is

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

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

    I never said your statement was correct. I know the research well and I also know the research is very skewed. I put a great deal of thought into grad school before I made a final

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

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

    I have already successfully completed PA but thanks for the advice! I fully understand the impact of my statements. My co workers are glad that I commented on this thread. We were actually talking...

  8. Hate my FNP job

    HBrnGirl replied to FNPCA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you think some use NP's as cheap labor? Why do you think there is such a push for independent practice? Why pay an MD to do the same job? Because NP outcomes are equivalent right. NP, PA, MD it's...

  9. Hate my FNP job

    HBrnGirl replied to FNPCA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Honestly, a 1-2 year residency is a very reasonable compromise. After that they can have independent practice. It's crazy to me this push for independent practice from day one. Because if you think...

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

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

    Are you sure you want me to post the thread? You participated in that thread from 2015. I'd really hate to make you eat

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

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

    And I just have to say, I love the thread where NP's whine about not getting paid as much as physicians. LOL well you have half the education. So it's only fair you get paid less! That's

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

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

    I have already read the research on it. I just wanted you to research it more thoroughly. I never said NP's are not intelligent people. I just don't see how NP's can fully practice independently with...

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

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

    Nailed it! I chose PA school over NP school for this reason. I prefer the traditional medical model. I don't feel online education and discussion boards are appropriate teaching methods for higher...

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

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

    If NP outcomes are equivalent, why does it matter? NP, PA, MD it's all the same

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

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

    There are definitely several threads on allnurses where NP's claim the education is

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

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

    Please cite your sources for these outcomes. Which medical school do you work with? I don't think they will be too please to see you posting on a public forum that an experienced NP can run circles...

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

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

    Wait so you're an NP and you refuse to see midlevels for yourself/family? Seriously? I

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

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

    Are you so sure about that? Research the requirements for medical school. Research medical school education. I have a friend in med school right now. He does way more clinical hours than I ever did....

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

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

    Bam! Nailed

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

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

    Yes! And some med schools and PA schools are requiring a certain amount of healthcare hours for admission. They want people coming in with medical experience. I know someone with a Masters in...

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

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

    So you can really run circles around a cardiologist with 15 years of experience? As if nursing experience and physician experience are the same. Don't think so. Nursing experience is totally...

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

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

    Actually, I did! That didn't go over too well with the Chancellor and I received a nasty certified letter from the university attorney. But for real tho. I deserve my money

  23. California "travel" RN

    HBrnGirl replied to firemedic12's topic in Travel

    I heard of people doing this. It's basically a per diem position directly through the hospital. The hospital will require a certain amount of shifts per month. They fly in do there shifts in a row and...

  24. Already make $42/hr. Is travel nursing worth it?

    HBrnGirl replied to Elbajista's topic in Travel

    If it were me, I would not travel. With travel you can make $40-$50hr blended. But remember with that money you have to duplicate expenses and pay for two homes. To me it's not worth it. But I live in...

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

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

    Exactly! I think every NP should be required to audit medical school classes. There is absolutely no way NP education is equivalent to medical school education. If that's what people think, then they...
