Yes, you can get accepted into a college with a nursing program after high school graduation. The amount of time you spend in college depends on which school and degree program you choose. For example, my mom went to a 2 year community college, got a degree in nursing, and became a registered nurse. If you have the time and money, you can go to a 4 year university and get a BSN. That is a bachelor of science degree in nursing. The demand for nurse is high, so you will have plenty of career option either way. You are still a registered nurse after you complete the exams, regardless of which path you choose.
Is it true that the master's of science in nursing MSN will be replaced by the DNP?
Yes, there is an indication of this as follows.
The AACN requires that all entry-level nurse practitioner educational programs be transitioned from the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree to the DNP degree by the year 2015. The American Association of Nurse Anesthetists has followed suit, requiring the DNP (or DNAP-Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice) degree for entry-level nurse anesthetist programs by the year 2025. Nurse practitioners and nurse anesthetists currently practicing with an MSN will not be required to obtain the DNP. (Wikipedia)

If a patient has a bulging eardrum what does it indicate to the nurse?
There are a couple things it could be, in a young baby it may just be fluid from a cold, or even from being fed while lying flat. The distance between the back of the throat - sinus - ears is very short, making babies very susceptible to fluid and even infection behind the membrane.
The other likely cause is air travel, everyone is susceptible but in someone with a cold "barotrauma" is almost guaranteed. It is the most common medical problem reported by air travelers. It is much more likely to happen to people who have colds, allergies or infections when they are flying. It is common in children because their Eustachian tubes are narrower than those of adults and become blocked more easily.
If the bulge and pressure from fluid is causing severe pain and is not responding to decongestants the doctor may have to put a small hole in the membrane to allow it to drain. The fluid can cause dizzy spells, visual disturbance and hearing loss. A need to "pop" your ears by swallowing, yawning or chewing gum
Barotrauma can also be seen in divers, it will most likely cause the same symptoms and can cause severe pain on subsequent dives until it heals.

How are nursing theories accepted?
My first reaction would be that a nursing theory would be accepted once it has been seen to work where it matters. Nurses tend to be very practical people and something really helpful and effective would be welcomed. I trained in 1978 and the advent of highly technical machinery has changed a lot of nursing practice.
This new technology may give rise to crises of conscience. Ever tinier prem babies can be resuscitated and helped to survive in special care units, but is intervention always wise? Is it ethical and moral to put someone on the Liverpool Pathway?
Nurses are real people, and are at the sharp end of life and death. That is where nursing theory needs to be readily translatable to real life with all of its complex issues.
I would be very interested to read other nurses thoughts on this, and I hope nobody will take this answer as definitive.
