  1. What Type of Setting Do You Work In?

    i looked through the first several pages w/ no finds. i will look further. thanks.
  2. What Type of Setting Do You Work In?

    Hi, I hope no one minds that I am not a nurse practitioner. I am just very interested and I thought this is the place to find you :) Where do you work? Doc's Office, ED, clinic? I wonder how everyone likes their current position? Have you been able ...
  3. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner...please help

    i really doubt that. i think it would be a positive thing that you have specialized in psych for a long span of time. My psych professor in college was a psychiatric NP and she did not do "staff" nursing. Psych all the way. I would consult a program ...
  4. Can you work as a staff nurse as an NP?

    oh thank you both so much!! extremely helpful answers. I tried to find the NJ BON laws on this, but I thought maybe they didn't have any. Now I know that they must and I will contact them if I can't find it online. That's an exciting possibility. An...
  5. Alright, sorry if this is dumb but I have googled and searched many times w/ no definitive results. I am dying to go to grad school because I loved it and did very well for undergrad- but I can't pick a major! On my cardiac floor I constantly read t...
  6. Pretty bad at starting IV's

    is it finding the vein that's the problem, or physically starting the IV? maybe we can give you some advice
  7. Is Anyone PCCN Certified?

    hello again to everybody on here. I just want to say that I took it today and I passed w/ 86 correct. I used david woodruff's cds which were shockingly close to the test format. I also did a practice test on the aacn website, which was expensive ($50...
  8. Is anyone in the navy reserve?

    Thank you both so much !! Very good info. I am gathering my paperwork to see if I am eligible due to a migraine history and I am going to proceed from there. Thanks for your time and thank you for your service !
  9. This is really interesting. I'm a BSN nurse, but I work w/ mostly ADN nurses. And they are great! They have to learn the same things that we do and take the same NCLEX. I think it's just a preference of learning styles, in my opinion. and theprincess...
  10. Prolonged QT Interval

    Thank you so much. You're right I have seen it on 12-leads. I'm going to look up more about it. Thanks !
  11. Prolonged QT Interval

    Just keep in mind the QT varies w the rate. I always use this formula. R to R divided by 2. That value must be less than or equal to the QT. I'm not familiar w QTc- what's that one ? A ratio? Thanks :)
  12. Tell me all you can about Navy Reserve nursing!

    @BorgQueen1701 I've been looking into this a lot lately. Here is your answer: http://www.ocs.navy.mil/pt.asp GoNavy up there describes DCO school. and this is the website for it. Includes- 60 minutes of PT daily, weighing in on arrival, passing some...
  13. Military Nursing Questions Answered

    This is an amazing post. I skimmed through all of it just now. But navyman7, I noticed that you had said that RNs in the navy reserve are deployed more often than active-duty nurses. I am more interested in the reserves b/c I assumed they were deploy...
  14. Is anyone in the navy reserve?

    Hi Navy Nurses :) Would anyone be willing to take a few minutes to tell me about their experience as a nurse in the navy reserve? I have been interested in joining the navy for a few years, and I still feel the call. Now I think the reserve may suit ...
  15. if she knew it was on for ten minutes she could have done something about it. she could have asked anyone for help. especially if there were onlookers while she was rude to you. i have never made my PCTs feel that way, in fact im often throwing the s...
