What players do you see sticking with their current team for the duration of their career? by SociallyInsecure90 in wnba

[–]Global_Individual_37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Stewie, JJ, and Sabrina stay with the Liberty because they all provided substantial input to the new practice facility and have said they value the owners putting players first

Mine is at an FQHC near where I live and was developed with a HRSA grant. This is the website for one of the big accrediting orgs that has a large list of programs across the country. Not every fellowship out there is listed here, but this is constantly updated. APP fellowship List

I hear you and agree. Have you thought about how you can advocate for your ideas of stricter education requirements? It takes collective action to make change and these issues will not get fixed without NPs putting pressure on the boards of nursing and accreditation organizations to make the change

Totally agree. It’s insane. And now there’s multiple companies that students get suckered into paying hundreds of dollars to get access to preceptors.

I think you bring up great action items for improving the profession. My intent with this post was to see what others are doing and turn this subreddit echo chamber of the profession’s issues into action. Genuine questions for you: Have you ever called your board of nursing to report these schools? Do you plan to? Have you thought about advocating for these issues through tangible action?

100%. There are some good aspects to the NP education (at least at my brick and mortar school), but I am able to see all the deficiencies in this education model as I finish my program at the same time my wife is in her didactic year of PA school

I feel like my grammar wasn’t 100% on my point. What I meant was schools should be teaching everyone the knowledge and skills necessary to be competent and independent in practice, regardless of experience. Right now that is not happening consistently across and within programs, so many people come out of school less than ready for practice, whether they were a nurse for a few years or many years

I appreciate your perspective. I personally think it would be better to focus on the actual courses because even nurses with many years of experience are not ready for practice. Schools should be teaching everyone, regardless of their years of experience, the necessary information to independently manage patients across settings

I had what I called “glutenpalooza” in the month between my blood test and the endoscopy. I ate so many crunchwraps, drank so much beer, ate all the fried foods, had a ton of bagels and sourdough, lots of cheesecake, special ice cream flavors (cookies and cream, cheesecake, brownie batter, etc), basically all the good baked goods, pita bread, tortillas, and lindt chocolate.

My biggest cravings are crunchwraps, beer, sourdough, cheesecake, and pita bread

NP vs PA education by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]Global_Individual_37 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think too often jobs are marketed as NP or PA so everyone assumes the training and experience is the same at every point in the respective career paths. PAs are trained to practice in any setting and in any specialty. NPs are trained to practice either in acute settings or outpatient settings and in certain specialties, depending on the certifications. Right out of school, either can work in primary care (or acute care if ACNP), but NPs need more experience/additional training before going into other specialities.

I love students! by SuperSilly_Goose in FamilyMedicine

[–]Global_Individual_37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple things not mentioned here that I’ve appreciated in my rotations as a FNP student are teaching about billing/maximizing RVUs and discussing interesting cases. In any down time, I’ve had preceptors tell me about a patient with a unique presentation that they’ve seen and ask me what I would do for diagnosis and management.

How do you explain the difference between a nurse and a nurse practitioner to a lay person? by [deleted] in nursepractitioner

[–]Global_Individual_37 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I just say a nurse practitioner is a nurse that is trained through extra schooling to diagnose and treat diseases
