   Is it worth becoming an NP at 45 years of age?

   TonyaMarie replied to Sage1's topic in NP

   No, 45 is not too old at all! You are still young and the 20 years of experience will payoff as you enter school and begin your practice. I finished my masters at age 48. Go for it!

   Management Criticism: "We see you care a great deal…"

   TonyaMarie replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Professionalism

   I bet you would do well as a leader. Yes you'd probably be frustrated having to juggle different moods, attitudes, and requests. I've been a manager before and the most difficult part was trying to balance numerous staff requests with the needs and r...

   I dare anyone with courage to go into leadership, see how dumb they are and come back here and let us know your experience. It's a different point of view from the top. 💯

   The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

   TonyaMarie replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

   I'm noticing it too as a case manager. Not only is there a nursing shortage but the older docs are retiring and the number of medical school enrollees has declined. APRNs are overworked. PCPs are booked for months because none of the medical students...

   Did I fail my patient?

   TonyaMarie replied to thenursebabe25's topic in General Nursing

   I do not think you failed the resident. Being a caregiver (whether paid or not) is backbreaking work.

    EMR Passwords

    TonyaMarie replied to Advocatenursemama's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was illegal to alter medical records? Plus, if there are incomplete records the person responsible for entering the data should be made aware and make the corrections. As for the user names and passwords, IT has access to everyo...

    TonyaMarie replied to CC Wisconsin's topic in Job Hunt

    Say, "Setting healthy boundaries." Always works. Leadership appreciates hard workers but wants employees to set healthy boundaries regarding how often they skip lunch to eat at their desk while still working, work from home up to 10-12 hours a day, e...

    Fired. How To Get Over It.

    TonyaMarie replied to rninformatics's topic in Career Support

    I do not know the employers side, but I believe the employer went overboard with reporting the matter to the state board. The boards have enough to deal with and this appeared to be more of a control issue than patient safety. If a nurse has not comp...

    2022 National Case Management Week Giveaway

    TonyaMarie replied to CCMC's topic in Announcements

    What are some things you do to give yourself time to think and breathe? I have learned to work with the information in front of me, not read into the situation attempting to solve the “what ifs” that never happen. I force myself to take a walk a...

    Media: Where are the Nurses?

    TonyaMarie replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in Professionalism

    It took a pandemic to make the world see our presence and appreciate our work. But our moment of glory was short lived. Unfortunately, the entertainment business continues to see us as second to MDs even with the rise in the number of nurses with a d...

    That's interesting. Has this method worked? Perhaps it's too soon to tell. That's interesting. Has this method worked? Perhaps it's too soon to tell.
