Hi, looking into Wayne States acute care NP program. anyone have any experience, good or bad with them. Would appreciate any input greatly!! Also looking for online MSN programs.
One of the more painful issues I have noticed is with my own family. They expect you to know why everything is done the way it is. I am an ICU nurse, therefore my expertise lies with the very sick patients. I am not an expert on ortho, L &D, onco...
We do have some interpreters in the hospital you can call for consents etc. However when all you want to do is say "I am going to listen to you lungs, or are you having pain, i think the basics will be fine. We are in the SICU, and have many on the v...

I disagree with the only using gloves if MRSA is in urine. How many times have you taken care of a patient for several days and the very next day or even during your shift they get placed in isolation for MRSA. I think if its in the urine it could al...
Our contingent RNs make 20% more then PT and FT employees and do not earn Vac time or sick time. They are only guaranteed 16 weekend hours per month. I was contingent for a couple years and if you dont need benefits its the way to go. Make more, work...
