Hello I'm a male Registered Nurse (RN) and I'm currently in school at University of Hawaii at Manoa for my masters in Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). I love technology. This blog is more of a personal one with some others. Which is to blog about my life, tech related stuff, and health related issues. I will try to be as accurate as I can with the health related issues and be prudent enough to use evidence-based practice.

Making a new website
I'm thinking about making a new website. Not sure if I should disclose it. I want it to be cool for students and professionals. This could be working closely with other big websites. Not copying, but working with them. Just a thought...

Know the why before you stick with the what.
So it's been a while since I last posted. I was very busy earlier on in the summer reading all the chapters required for the class. Toward the end, I realized that many of the information in the book was review with a little more depth into it. The focus is different. Instead of reading about what to expect by the prescribing provider, it was reading about what I would do AS a provider. This was difficult as I haven't been truly into the role yet.
Nonetheless, I've been reading all the required chapters and I feel burnt. Burnt to a crisp in the brain. What also bothers me is that people don't read the chapters, but still get better grades than I do on the weekly quizzes. They just use the powerpoint and their iPhone or what have you, to find the answer and pass the quiz, without gaining a good understanding of why. They know the what, but it doesn't seem to show they're interested in knowing the why.
This goes to the same principal in life. If you just care about the what, then you'll be like a zombie following orders, rules, etc without making the critical thinking and choice for your own. In other words, you'll be doing things without knowing the reason behind such acts.

This seems fair and appropriate to work as a team.
I agree that reform is needed even though it may be uncomfortable for some practitioners.
