Oh it hurts, some freak called Climbingpanther doesn't like me. My life is ruined. Get life dip shit. Keep digging, assmonkey

:lmao: Nothing to do with our relationship dipshit. Read the Koran. Your an infidel and deserve to die. Can somebody tell me why this fuck-stick hasnt been banned yet? Seahawk is the only surviving species of non-climbing butt fungus from the Mt. Hood spore release that still infects our site. I would guess he casts his spores far and wide across the web, gracing many otherwise perfectly functional websites with the signature scent of illiterate ass cheese. An inability to feel embarrassment or shame is usually diagnosed at sociopathy, although in his case it may simply be due to having so few functioning neurons that none may be spared for anything other than vital organ function and the motor skills required for typing. Unfortunately, and somewhat inexplicably, considering his homo habilis level of brain function, he has already managed to convince a woman (and we can only imagine how bright a bulb she is on the marquee) to procreate with him. We can only hope that his children will be permanently incarcerated at an early enough age to stem the infestation in the long term. ahhh. The Endangered Species Act. Im sure an exception could be made for this jackass.

Is this another Republican ploy to divert attention away from the war, gonzales, teh ghey senator, teh economy......

I would consider unfounded accusations of pedophilia to be grounds for banninating...or at least a public ass kicking. Look what it did to r kelly oh wait, hes still making bank.

Ice tools, two please

One time, when I was climbing at exit 38...

Theres one going in next to rudys on Pine. Still under construction. They also invaded bend, under the surname of Thump. Damn good coffee, so I guess I shouldnt complain too much.

BMW bike with an Aprilla engine Had one. Wasnt impressed.

Nice report I was up there as well with a party of four travelling south. We ran into two parties of two going S to N, not sure if either of you were these guys. We had one weather day, got backed off Spider/formidable, but otherwise the weather and conditions were beautiful. The extra miles on either end werent too much trouble, but the schwack down bachelor was the least fun we had. The route is in. Get up there yo!

Should've :pagetop:'ed

Maybe not, nevermind

Here it comes

So did I

:pagetop:'ed too soon

Ahhh...unfortunately, my time is far from free. Why so short? You've got a lot of pent up angst, chica.

Yeah, thanks! I'm thinking of applying to PA school next year...... Everyone I talk to about it speaks very highly of the field, and I know that you can make a pretty penny at it too. I dated a girl who was a PA. Had been for about 5 years, worked in Vancouver, WA and made about $14.50 an hour. What do you consider a “pretty penny"? Uhm, yeah, right. Thats odd, considering that the national MEDIAN salary for PA's working at least 32 hours per week is around $81,000 per year, and for new graduates in a first time job, around $70,000 per year. The top 10% of all PA's in the United States make more than $100,000 per year, and the lowest 10% make less than $50,000 per year. Overall, from the statistics I've read, it looks like I could continue my current "lets play as much as possible" philosophy as a PA, and still provide a service to society while eliminating financial anxiety. As for graduate nurse practitioner programs, it looks like I would still have to go through the steps of first being established as an RN, then work on the Masters of Science. I don't know, seems like too much to do considering I've just spent the past five years earning my bachelors degree in something thats NOT an RN program........ UW offers a fast track (3 years) Masters in Nursing program that requires no medical or nursing experience; entry requirement is any Bachelors degree with the usual prerequisites -- courses which a PT grad has already taken. Also, your PT education might be adequately favorable for the subjective part of the entrance evaluation. The rest would be GPA on relevant courses and your enthusiasm for delivering health care. UW website states the first five quarters are intensive -- up to 7 days per week of classroom time and clinical rotations that clear the way for completion of the Masters and make you eligible to sit for the state NCLEX exam for an RN license. It will cost you, but completion of the Masters in Nursing would qualify you to sit for an ARNP license. As of a couple years ago, NPs in Washington have medication prescriptive authority and can practice independently within the scope of their licensure. Job listings for the same position often seek either a PA or an NP. Pay may be about the same, as may be demand for either profession in rural areas. Yeah, I just got done looking at that website...... Looks interesting. The nursing philosophy is different to that of PA's (I think) which are trained extremely similar to the ways MD's are trained to think...... Thanks. Trained to think? Sounds more like you are looking for the prestiege of the MD, without having to wade through med school. I think you will find that the MD approach to healthcare is a big part of what is fundamentally wrong with our system today. On the other hand, the nursing approach takess more of a holistic treatment/prevention angle. When heads are pulled from asses, you will see healthcare move toward this prevention model, as it is offered at a fraction of the price.

Job listings for the same position often seek either a PA or an NP. Pay may be about the same, as is demand for the profession in rural areas. The Masters entry program is a good way to go, and would, in many cases, require but three years of school. That is unless you were looking to move into the only ARNP focal area worth getting into, which is the FNP. The FNP is now a Doctoral degree at the UW, or clinical Doctorate (DNP), and would likely take an additional three years after your NCLEX. If you want to practice rural medicine, you have to shoot for the lifespan practitioner, the FNP. The rest are really a waste of time.

ILS, One thing to consider. It sounds to me like you are looking for independent practice. If this is the case (as arch mentioned), you can work in rural communities as a PA, but in WA state, you are still required to work under a MD/DO, and from talking to friends and collegues, this can be a difficult arrangement to obtain and maintain. The title may concern you, but NPs can work independently here in Wa, and have recently earned the right to independently prescribe meds without MD/DO support. Im a RN working on an MPH, and will likely go the NP route when Im ready to settle down and practice. The money and flexibility is too good in nursing right now. The UW has a new but respected condensed RN/NP program, the Masters Entry Program, that is ideal for those without nursing backgrounds.

Alright. Everyone who has posted to this thread is a fag...Uh, nevermind.

The UW is a cert program and does require a good bit of experience. OHSU and Pacific down in OR have masters programs that dont have the rigorous requirements as far as experience goes, but you do have to be quite competative. Not sure its a field you can just wake up one day and decide to throw in for.
