  1. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    CraigB-RN replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    you're very right. Just about the time I think I've got something cornered, I find an exception to a rule. :) I just wish I could remember that when it counted.

    CraigB-RN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Your right I did misrepresent the article. And you might just be right about the job satisfaction. But that does play into some of my concerns. We don't have FACTS, just thoughts and suppositions,...

    CraigB-RN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i think it needs to be part of the discusion. i'm qustioning why it's a academic and faulty group that is driving this. a change like this should be driven from the workers or the proffesion itself....

  8. new corporation investigating health care workers

    CraigB-RN replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the fears you have are fears that are nurse job specific. I think that data minning is a social issue that has already reached beyond the point were there is an easy fix. I don't see...

  9. new corporation investigating health care workers

    CraigB-RN replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

  13. Possibly relocating to Denver area

    CraigB-RN replied to Blanco600's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Atually from a management perspective, a new nurse isn't always better than none. There is a high cost of training a new grad and there are only so many available resources. A new grad isn't ready...

  14. Is Emory's Nursing School worth the extremely high tuition??

    CraigB-RN replied to mandee2024's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Don't listen to anyone who says L&D nursing isn't real nursing. It's different than the floor but I wouldn't want to do it. That's one of he great things about nursing, lots of options. Most of...

    CraigB-RN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    CraigB-RN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    CraigB-RN replied to brookorrn's topic in General Nursing

    CraigB-RN replied to KulRN's topic in General Nursing

    I took one module, and then found out that non of the schools I was going to apply to would recognize it. So I didn't do any more. I did the would care module, which was what I was going at the...

    CraigB-RN replied to brookorrn's topic in General Nursing

    This may be a stupid question, but instead of getting people all riled up here, have you called and asked the BON what exactly they want and why? You might actually get an answer, but then again, you...
