I'm looking, too, with a review book (after the OP of course :)) melsbel16@live.com

I'm glad you replied to this thread. As a PhD holder, what do you see differentiates the DNP from your doctoral degree? As I understand it, both are research and theory based with no additional...

I may be interpreting this wrong, but it seems you are saying online programs let anyone it because of their large class sizes. I disagree. Professors have limits on online class sizes, too. I know...

I am in the distance program at University of Cincinnati, and am graduating this Dec as an FNP, but my background has always been adult critical care. I haven't dealt with pediatrics in over 10 years...

No probs, and your first instinct is usually the correct one, that is if the original poster gives you all the info (shame on me- it wasn't intentional) :uhoh21: . I felt she was a bit lazy, too. But...

Very nice reply. The NP did in fact explain their (rapid strep) was negative. She would then write the script and say if you feel you need it after a couple of days, go ahead and fill it. One reason...

I am a FNP student 8 weeks into my first practicum rotation. I'm mostly in a busy clinic office, but twice I was asked to go to a retail clinic. The clinic is staffed by one NP and a receptionist in...

I have been 'attending' UC online for FNP since Jan 2010, and have one yr to go before graduation. Overall I am pleased with the quality of the education. Each quater is different and depends on the...

I'm in the UC FNP program now. The recruiter told it it has been highly competitive since the economy has been so bad. Perhaps b/c so many people are out of work...why not return to school...?...

Thanks for the reply. Its funny, and by that I mean suspicious, that the stopcocks are manufactured by the makers of propofol. We use alaris pumps too but that is irrelevent with regard to using the...

I recall an unfortunate woman who OD's on tylenol by taking capsules, cough syrup (w/ tyl), and lortabs. She went into liver failure and died waiting for a transplant. Another OD was a prisoner...

Try some charcoal smoothies for a rippin' good time :yeah:

That is where a strong union comes in to play;)

:yeah:

I don't see how a pregnant woman over #500 makes a difference. The fact is that #500 requires specialized equipment. Its a matter of load--even if it is temporary.

Sorry, no. It was essentially an interactive lecture to dispell the belief of what a "normal" seisure looks like. He was promoting Keppra heavily at the time. Personally I think--give em ativan....

Unfair all around! She states the pt displayed no signs of psychosis and was cooperative. Should she have clarified when she read the note?-Yes, however the MD at the ED should not have been so...

Firstly know your drugs and the effect they have on the heart and vasculature. If a pt is on metoprolol and they have a HR of 50 and a SBP of 90-100 that may not be safe to give because the BP may be...

I am in Michigan. Obviously not all areas in Michigan are affected but the major cities are, and this experience is shared all over the nation. Here are some recent related articles for you to read....

It's hard to say. Had a neurosurgeon show me and about 25 other experienced ICU nurses a video of "seisures" and we had to give our opinion as to whether they were real or not. We were shocked at...

Post thought--when we put in the cordis the doc would call for the flush to run until cleared. This amounted to about 20ml or so. Most of the time the doc would eyeball the CVP as the cordis was...

I would hook it up to get a CVP reading if the doc needs it to expidite tx, but if it can wait for confirmation then that's ok too. It really depends on the patients status, why it is needed, and if...

:yeah:BRILLIANT!

Yes, I agree. She knowingly did this! Did she actually think this was safe? If so I'm glad she left--she should have her license revoked and she should face criminal charges up to premeditated murder...

The nursing shortage still exists and will only get worse as baby boomers continue to retire. But one reason new grads are having such a hard time finding work is because the recession has forced...
