    And you are involved, why?

  4. 10 Fastest Nurse Practitioner (NP) Programs | 2024

    The hospital based NP's that have the most credibility with patients, hospital staff and medical staff (from what I can see) are the ones that are an integral part of a medical practice with a 'hand in glove' relationship with physicians like a surgi...
  5. EKG order

    Invite the RR team member to write you up and be sure to copy the cardiologist and the medical director of the RR team.
  6. Imposter syndrome

    Not everything needs a name. Insecurity, hesitation and hypervigilance are defense mechanisms when you're new. Acknowledge them, appreciate them to the extent that they keep you from more difficulty than you could potentially have and be aware when t...

    Yeah...no....
  8. 69 Medications Every New ER Nurse Must Master!

    Well...maybe not *master*....never gave protamine a single time in the ER let alone those I may have given once...know what general category they're in? Sure. In the day and age of internet searches, that's plenty.

    Chill out. Med error. If licensing were revoked for that, there'd be no nurses. You caught it right away, self reported and, presumably because you didn't say, there were no serious consequences as a result. Just keep copies of your documentation of ...
  12. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

    So how would 'going on strike' effect that? That's even pretending that NP's as a professional body possessed the ability to leverage a position by a strike. The thing to do would be to demonstrate superior training through superior practice, and if ...
  13. Paths To Critical Care (true story)

    Buyer beware. Although for certain advanced practice degrees and leadership/administration roles, a BSN from Marquette carries more gravitas than a piece meal pathway to entry into practice. After 5-10 years, whatever differences in clinical advantag...
  14. NP to physician... is it possible?

    Best thing to do is speak with docs that are mom's as well. It's also a specialty sensitive answer, ie, a CT surgeon who is a mom (pretty rare IME) would probably give a way different answer than a family practice doc.
