  1. I need guidance

    Nursing is not for everyone, it's good that you are starting to question your choice early on, it means you're not willing to be stuck on a wrong choice and be miserable, although my advice would be wait till you get a year in nursing then make a cho...
  2. Patient Care Coordinator in ED

    It's so far from a bedside nurse where I work, they are off bed side, I would assume care coordination, speaking to families, patients and doctors and all the team, make sure patient will get care even if at home or make sure they get discharge to an...
  3. Patient Care Coordinator in ED

    Never been a PCC but I am interviewing for one, what does do job really entail, I mean I can google that but I want to hear from people that have first hand experience with it. I'm an acute care nurse and I want to make sure it's a fit for me.
  4. Logical flow....yes you started talking about BSN then certifications, your response is not “BSN specifically”. My response to you was purely about certifications, for you to bring up BSN vs ADN then expect me to follow your disorganize thoughts is ...
  5. Very well said.
  6. I have a pccn cmc and csc and let me tell you they are not geared towards management AT ALL. I don’t know what type of certifications the people that you spoke with have as certifications.
  7. If ur a nurse, common sense dictates u display related nursing stuff only and fyi when you do pass the certifications you are granted credentials, like ccrn, pccn cmc, the list goes on and on which can be list after the RN title. Also, Doctors do di...
  8. Is this a Med Error?

    Technically It is not but, think about it this way, if you get an order for Oxy 10 TID PRN, are you going to give every hour x 3 just because the order says TID PRN? I guess you won't. Orders like this needs to be clarified unless you have a hospital...
  9. I made up my mind, I WILL put them on my ID, not everything but some that really helped. I think the studying process led me to learn things I would not have learned without studying for the certifications, it help me understand the why's and how's a...
  10. Depression and Nursing

    I've been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder... I thought I was just tired from NOC shift and just stressed from my unit, I have no motivation to get out of bed, everything was just gray and hopeless, the final straw that made me seek help is t...
  11. I get what you mean but I always find answering a question with a question annoying. ?
  12. I've been a nurse for more than 15 years, a lot of nurses have that capacity to tear down each other and they do, a lot of people tear down younger nurses instead of helping and mentoring them, Seriously some nurses are jealous and bitter and they su...
  13. But education and experience can go hand in hand. Just because you have an extra credential does not mean you are less experienced and vice versa..
  14. Not where I work at, It's the highest degree that one earned therefore it ends in your badge, John Doe Ph.D NP etc. It is within his right if he has the doctor's degree to back it up regardless of what it is. It does not actually delineate whether or...
  15. Yeah the original topic is about displaying credentials like CCRN,PCCN, CSC etc. on badges as a nurse. The Ph.D. has earned him the right to be called Doctor, he is a doctor of philosophy, after all, doctorates are not limited to MD or DO. Although ...
