I agree with the other two posters and never just answer an interview question with one sentence! Tell them you would first speak with the person involved in the confrontation, how you would speak...

(I understand this is a little off the original topic, but everytime I see a post about bullying I wonder about this) I'm curious and I am wondering if their are any NP's on here who could answer...

There are tuition reimbursement options for NP's working in areas that have need! So you could have your cake and eat it too! When you have kids their is never a "best" time to persue an education,...

What info is needed from the nurse? The kid complained of SOA, he had to be treated. If she could not give him his inhaler, then she should have called 911.

We really don't need any more info than was provided. The child complained of SOA (whether he was faking it or not is no matter), he had a prescribed inhaler but according to school policy the...

Just about all of our sophmore class had job offers before they even took the nclex, and we are an ADN program. We are a small town and have several nursing programs in our area so this is good...

And a doctor (or atleast most) wouldn't take heed of your opinion not because it was invalid, but because they have superiority issues.

I was referring mainly to the issue of washing hands....I didn't realize I had to be a graduated RN with five years of experience to understand basic hygiene issues and how they relate to transfer of...

And my next favorite pet peeve...when someone can't adequately dispute my reasoning (or that of any other student) then they pull the "your not a real nurse yet card, so you can't possibly have an...

There is so much wrong with this I couldn't pass on it...!

You will love it, there is so much more autonomy than with floor nursing. It's more exciting than the ER and the comradery is way better among your co-workers.

grey-collar refers to the balance of employed people not classified as white- or blue collar. although grey-collar is sometimes used to describe those who work beyond the age of retirement,[1][2] it...

The pt should have taken the responsibility to ask what the appt was for, if it was going to be such an issue. If someone calls me up and says when need to set you up for an appt, I don't care if I...

Hero's, the lot of ya, I tip my hat :bowingpur

All hospitals should have this policy. I have seen most doctors not even introduce themselves at all, and it is a simple line. It will clear up a lot of confusion on the part of the pt's, who may...

Wow, some of the things I read on here...I just don't know how I am going to handle these situations if they happen to me. I have gotten old and cranky and I just will not...cannot for very long...

It could be a souce of infection and will cause the hole to remain partially open. The top may scab over but the hole itself will not heal until the remaining suture is removed. Are they...

[QUOTE=redhead_NURSE98!;6499474]I guess I could say I'm a doctor inasmuch as I am performing my job duties with a view towards avoiding liability to the hospital, thus using my doctorly doctorate....

That's why I wrote "dr/practitioner", and an ANP does treat a pt just as a dr/physician would. And, come on, best you could come up with was "douchy"? And why would the title be a liablity?...

But redhead you will not be treating the pt's condition as a dr/practitioner so what does your doctorate matter in this case?

My GPA has fallen from a 4.0 to a 3.58, and I have been getting B's in my nursing courses and A's in my one extra class I take each semester (2 semesters). I am hoping it doesn't fall much more lol...

That would probably be something like where a person posts thing on Facebook or otherwise puts info out there against you that you can show the judge in court. You can't just say, "Hey, so and so...

What do you mean by who pays you? Are they refusing to pay you for the day you worked? And you said that you did not forget the vitals yet you did not record them? Still, it is crazy that you...

So many people plead guilty because they think it will make things easier, but it doesn't. If what you said was true, that you were on the side of the road, you should have fought it. They may have...

Do nothing! Relax and enjoy your summer because when school starts you will be studying like you never have before, so enjoy your quite time while you can. Congrats!
