   Reach out to local Occupational Health Centers. They will likely allow for this as many are trying to recruit good NPs.

   need advice on proposal

   Rbeck911 replied to fish_dealer's topic in Occupational

   Well, this is interesting. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, the pitch will come naturally. Identify all of the requirements from the state and fed that a nurse could positively affect. Identify areas of risk, or a "gap analysis" from which yo...

   Occupational health nursing graduate degree or certificate anyone?

   Rbeck911 replied to fish_dealer's topic in Occupational

   Can you give a bit more information? What type of industry? Are you a nurse yourself? I would be happy to discuss this in more detail with you, as it is what I do for a living.

   Suture Training for Nurses

   Rbeck911 replied to Rbeck911's topic in Emergency

   Haha I like where your head is at. We are an on-site clinic, so there is no reimbursement, but rather cost savings. If anyone has an answer for me, I am still watching the thread. Thanks

   Suture Training for Nurses

   Rbeck911 replied to Rbeck911's topic in Emergency

   Problem is, we are actually an Occupational Health Clinic, so we don't really have a suture rep. Really looking for a workshop or training, but I appreciate your suggestion. I figured if anyone knows about this topic, it is likely rural ER nurses.

   My manager has asked me to seek out a suturing course for RNs. Is anyone here familiar with a good course? Location does not matter, as long as it is in the US. Thanks in advance.

    EXCELSIOR LPN-RN?!

    Rbeck911 replied to Natiigreeneyes's topic in Excelsior

    I am about 3/4 of the way through. I have been very happy with the program so far. You have to be motivated to study, of course, if you are taking the exam route. My advice is just take your time, don't try to rush. The good thing about this prog...

    Passed Health Differences 1

    Rbeck911 posted a topic in Excelsior

    Well, I passed Health Differences 1. I was fully expecting a C, at best, and ended up with a B. I really had this exam built up in my head as something extremely difficult. Similar to advancing from courses like pharm and onto med surge and actual...

    Dude, I ride my Harley Davidson with my scrubs on past construction workers and give them the bird! Bahaha, well, I don't give them the bird, but it doesn't bother me at all. They probably just think your a doctor. Don't worry about it. It doesn'...

    Random Drug Screens

    Rbeck911 replied to Saxynurse's topic in Occupational

    Anyone can sue for anything. It depends on your process really, in how well that protects you. Is the associate ever separated from the sample before it is sent out? If so, his initials mean nothing, technically. Unless he follows that sample all...

    Random Drug Screens

    Rbeck911 replied to Saxynurse's topic in Occupational

    We also test in house. If we have a non-negative drug screen (legally compliant reference) we sent them to an occ health clinic to provide another sample. Sending off the same sample doesn't really do anything for you as far as third party verificat...
