Some of you people need to get a life. Its Ativan!!! Its a mild Benzodiazepine for anxiety, as well as other common conditions. Maybe this nurse is going through a tough time right now. Mind your own business. Its not like he or she is stealing ...
A DO and an MD are essentially the same. They both go to medical school and they both have to go through a residency program. A DO actually does a bit more because he or she not only practices medicine, they perform osteopathic manipulations on the...
I have OCD and it does stink so I understand your problem. My OCD waxes and wanes. Sometimes its real bad and other times its just annoying. Right now, its bad. Whether this helps or not, I'm 28 and I'm a Nurse Practitioner. I managed to become a...
Wow!!! Again, who has the right to judge anybody? Who compared Ativan to heroin? This is foolish. There are plenty of nurses and doctors that take drugs like Ativan, Buspar, Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, etc. for a variety of reasons. Benzodiazepines an...
92K!!! That sounds a little fishy. NOT THAT I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!! However, family practice doctors make around 100-150K. Something seems a little odd here. How the heck can an institution afford to pay these rates? It makes no economical sense....

You forgot "PR" Ouch!!! If I'm ever admitted to the hospital and I see a "PR" order in my chart, you better be damn sure that even in my dazed and confused state, that "R" will be turned into an "O" by any writing utensil within my grasp!!! heh, heh,...
Navy Nurse, I agree with you. I wasn't really addressing Ph.D. Nurses in particular because they do tend to be researchers. I also agree that positional respect is a lot easier to earn than what you actually do for patients...but that takes awhile ...
I agree with chili2641. People keep stressing experience...and experience is VERY important. However, education is also a critical factor in educating BSNs and NPs. Yes, experience is crucial to being a good clinician, but one's education is the b...
Hey haji, Here is a thought...it probably takes more effort to actually post a question here and wait for replies than it does simply typing in a key word on a search engine. So your reasoning makes little sence. Ta da, light dawns on Marblehead!!! ...

Wow, I'm honored I've made it into a thread twice!!! (kidding) Anyway, I think nurses should do what everyone else has done...change with the times. You can look professional in anything within reason. What I am against are nurses that wear loads o...
I am not offended, but the fact that this bothers you is pretty weird. Not to mention the fact that if you used your head, you would realize that a lot of people happen to know of obscure sites that others either don't know of or the search engine d...
I have a feeling that some of this RN versus NP stuff has to do with job satisfaction. If your an RN, and love your job, you probably don't have any ill feelings towards NPs (even the NPs that went to bridge programs). However, if your an RN and yo...
