1. Discrimination Against ER Nurses?

   47yomalestudent replied to DaveBSN's topic in Job Hunt

   Hi Dave, out of curiosity, did you elevate your concern about breach of contract before you resigned? Perhaps there was a sound reason for the actions the hospital made? Maybe it was a temporary action due to a circumstance you were not aware of ? In...

   #520- I would think a strep test would be in order whenever someone shows up with those symptoms.

5. Nurses are Not Doctors

   47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   I think the jest of this topic has evolved into a debate over the educational differences between a MD and NP and should NPs be allowed to practice autonomously? I am of the opinion they already do in many different environments. Sure, most have cons...

6. Nurses are Not Doctors

   47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   #488- I agree that not all programs are created equally. A person should research the school they are considering attending to be sure it offers a quality education. As for a NP researching a diagnosis online, I don't have an issue with that at all. ...

   C'mon folks, his (or her) screen name is Gluteus... So it should be of no shock value to learn that even they consider themselves to be an ***.

9. Nurses are Not Doctors

   47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   MDs seem to trust NPs, do they not? NPs are not only working in Family HC clinics, you can find them in hospitals making rounds, ordering tests, prescriptions, making diagnosis, and sometimes administering immediate life saving emergency care. I unde...

10. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    Our lab instructor banned food or drink in the lab for health reasons.

11. Let's hear from the over 40 students

    47yomalestudent replied to 47yomalestudent's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My cumulative is 3.1 but I have all A's in my math and sciences. I do still have A&P2 to take, and like you, need to study for the entrance exam. It seems like most areas have waiting lists, but our school recently only started accepting resident...

12. Let's hear from the over 40 students

    47yomalestudent replied to 47yomalestudent's topic in Pre-Nursing

    All great posts. I'm hoping to maintain a job through this journey so I'm eyeballing the LPN to RN path. The local college has a nights and weekends program. However, there is a nights and weekends RN class in a neighboring state. I have one Pre-Req ...

13. Nurses are Not Doctors

    47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Go to see your Family Practitioner these days, chances are your going to see a NP. Sure, maybe a Physician will glance over their charts every few months, but the patients care was entrusted to the NP by the overseeing Physician. If that Physician wa...

14. Job offer rescinded? What did I do wrong?

    47yomalestudent replied to Pandora6212's topic in LPN/LVN

    Most places will at least have a probation period. I've never even heard of anything like you described. I know it's probably not worth the effort, but I'd be tempted to call and request compensation for the hours I worked. You did have expenses just...

15. Nurses are Not Doctors

    47yomalestudent replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    The Princess Bride- I don't disagree with the basis of your post; a doctor goes to school longer and receives more clinical hours. I don't think anyone is suggesting NPs will ever replace the need for MDs. The argument is, "are they educated and co...
