1. Why do Doctors think they are................God!!

   JDPBSN replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

   i agree with the person who posted; use that as a teaching moment. if a patient is in crf- maybe 125cc/hr is due to the lack of perfusion of systemic blood to the kidneys. maybe the patients gfr/bun was increased and they wanted to increase absorpti...

   JDPBSN replied to Guest505077's topic in Ambulatory

   Hi there, I am an RN in OMFS. A couple of things I could share with you. My background before the RN was in dental and OMFS—so, I feel at home working with the head and neck having years of experience. You would have to check with your states BON ...

   JDPBSN replied to guest_57352's topic in NP Students

   Hi there I’m and Acute Care/ Critical Care NP student. Here are some answers to your questions. After looking at your last comment, the reality is this… Your comment on “95% of what comes in” bothers me. I don’t think most MD’s can diagnose 95% of wh...

4. What does a male nurse practioner do?

   JDPBSN replied to Daniel Floyd's topic in Men

   Male NP student here. To answer your question, as others have said--there is an APRN thread on here. There are plenty of male NP students. I am in a MSN class of 50. 15/50 are men, which is a pretty nice representation. 4 are acute/ critical care,...

5. Using BSN when you have not earned it

   JDPBSN replied to sportsmom84's topic in General Nursing

   This is misrepresentation to the community. I am not sure the legal standing on this, but like it was stated in a previous post—if the granting institution were to find out, the would be some ramification. On CV’s you can write for exp. BSN ©, C ...

6. Impersonating a nurse

   JDPBSN replied to Elleveein's topic in Professionalism

   yeah, i hear this too. i work on a surgical service and i am the only rn- all ancillary staff are ma's. although i have not directly heard a ma refer to themselves as a nurse- the md's do to patients. legally, the rn is a protected title and credent...

   Joel- are you all on that side of the world going to a DNP education? What's the consensus over there?

9. MSN/Nurse Practitioner - how to become one?

   JDPBSN replied to boogsmom's topic in General Nursing

   believe me. i know it can be overwhelming! the good thing is you do have options, right! i would do some shadowing of different np's to truly find out what type of np role you want to fulfill. the acnp is designed for hospitals. so, if you want to be...

10. MSN/Nurse Practitioner - how to become one?

    JDPBSN replied to boogsmom's topic in General Nursing

    btw, i am curious about your accelerated msn plan? there are programs that are offered for those that have a ba/bs in other fields to get a msn, by passing the bsn that is at the generalist level. i could be wrong, but to my knowledge- there are no n...

    JDPBSN replied to boogsmom's topic in General Nursing

    hi there. i'm in an acnp program. here are some answers: if you have an adn and a ba, you may need to get a bsn. most programs (3 in my city) will not consider an undergrad degree other than the bsn. you may want to look into an accelerated bsn progr...

13. Young female patients

    JDPBSN replied to corbinRN's topic in Male Students

    Male ACNP student here. I do not perform any procedures on young women, unless an emergency. If I have a female patient, a female is in the room and I speak outloud every step I am taking during procedures, so there is no confusion or misinterpretati...

14. Sticky suggestion for the NP forum

    JDPBSN replied to BabyLady's topic in NP

    whether or not the dnp will be "mandated"; it looks as if the governing boards and heading in that direction. the biggest move that i am seeing (4 np programs in my city) is that all the universities are in the process of dropping the msn for aprns- ...

15. This site a gift and a curse

    JDPBSN replied to Nicole74's topic in General Nursing

    don't be discouraged... new grad here, i'm employed in 2 rn positions. graduated in 2010, all of my classmates are gainfully employed. employers like those who are persistent and go-getters; you have to do your footwork. i don't post on the site much...
