   From Kevin MD For hospitals to thrive, they need to value nurses

4. What annoys you most in your daily tasks?

   Theloneyoni1 replied to mangi's topic in General Nursing

   Charting in a non-nurse friendly computer system, looking for stuff, multiple phone calls for one thing. Basically, anything that is a time suck. These are the most aggravating parts of my day. There's no amount of planning that can compensate for co...

5. Anion Gap Acidosis

   Theloneyoni1 replied to cassmorin's topic in Critical

   Keep asking questions. We all do not grasp everything simply by reading the research. That's why we need people who can teach. Glad that you got the answer that you needed.... Here's a link - I love this website for breaking down complex issues ...

6. Although Women Dominate the Nursing Profession, Do Men Make More Money?

   Theloneyoni1 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

   I have given this subject some thought (as I am sure most of you have). One realization that I had was that as a person, I was a terrible negotiator. As a matter of fact, I would take what the HR person was offering. I remember being sooooo grateful ...

8. 2 PIV's if no central line?

   Theloneyoni1 replied to Theloneyoni1's topic in Critical

   @Pheebz777 That's my point. But - I want it to be an actual policy so I am trolling for info....

9. 2 PIV's if no central line?

   Theloneyoni1 replied to Theloneyoni1's topic in Critical

   Could you share a copy of the policy with me? - removing anything that would indicate that it's from your hospital. This would really help me with the leverage I need to get this made a policy. Thanks for replying K

10. Moving into ICU, but don't intend to stay

    Theloneyoni1 replied to crckt's topic in Critical

    Is there a teaching hospital nearby? In my experience, they are more receptive to nurses who plan to stay for 1-3 years. Also, I have seen a definite culture change in critical care - by that I mean that there is a mix of nurses. Those looking to ...

11. 2 PIV's if no central line?

    Theloneyoni1 posted a topic in Critical

    I am looking for some EBP on having more than 1 PIV (2) for patients in the critical care setting. I've searched around and have yet to come up with anything. I am gathering evidence for a policy we hope to implement in our unit. Thanks in advance,...

12. What to expect?? ACNP program at UTHSC Houston

    Theloneyoni1 replied to roman1006's topic in NP Students

    I am in the program now and I began the summer of '15. All in all, it's OK. I've been disappointed in the quality and caliber of material, especially in patho and pharmacology - two of the classes I thought I'd love most. I was accepted at TT as w...

13. Shadowing/observing a NP before applying to NP school

    Theloneyoni1 replied to vitiana's topic in NP Students

    Yes! And, I highly recommend it. I was having a difficult time deciding whether I was going to do FNP or ACNP. I shadowed a one NP in clinic at the hospital (She is a primary care NP) and I shadowed an acute care NP who worked for the same physici...

14. RN to BSN

    Theloneyoni1 replied to xhsx's topic in Massachusetts

    I completed my BSN online through University of Texas at Arlington - it was a grueling (mind numbing, for me) process that I found more difficult than my ADN. This was related directly to the subject matter: nursing leadership, research, health asse...
