  1. FNP in acute inpatient specialty role

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. djmatte, I completely understand and respect the RN role, and yes, I have experience in ICU, although not in this specific type of unit. I have noticed that some RN's will willingly do certain tasks when asked b...
  2. NP being used as an RN

    While you are still at the job is there any way to get training? Can you get training from the other NP? Is he or she an ally? Can he or she provide insight or advice? ((())) Julia
  3. FNP in acute inpatient specialty role

    I am starting as a new NP in a specialized ICU role. I am concerned that many of the nursing staff, having been on this unit for 15-20 years, are more knowledgeable in this specialized area of practice than I will be, yet I know I will be responsible...
  4. US NP to practice in Ontario, Canada

  7. Handling multiple ICU patients in the ER

    I think this may be a case of different locales using different language. Critical patients are quickly determined to be ICU patients in my ED. They are then identified as admit-no-bed ICU's. I have been responsible for these heavy, heavy patients i...
  8. Oh, if you are applying to a competitive post baccalaureate program, do not do WGU
  9. I believe Western Governors was relatively painless and easy (yes, required work and APA style) but I had an awesome mentor who helped me focus on key aspects of successful course completion. Would do again in a heartbeat. My regret is that I should...
  10. Handling multiple ICU patients in the ER

    If you come in to this mess, you need to let CN know right away. You need to say that it is not a safe assignment before beginning, and I would let my manager know, also. When you are maxed you need to tell CN right away, and advise that you are 1:1...
  11. Work ethic of team members

    Can you frame your concerns based on patient care, and patient needs? What compromises in patient care or in team function happen because of these concerns? Julia
  12. New Rule: No work bags allowed in ER

    My ED went through a time when bags were discouraged. However, our nurse manager understood that newer nurses often felt more secure with their educational and other supplies available to them, and was understanding of this need. I would also be un...
  13. Scope of practice in the emergency department

    Our local EDs have hired only NPs. I believe there are regional differences, though. Julia
  14. Emergency/Urgent Care NP Question

    Are all NP and PA charts reviewed, stamped and double billed by MDs?
  15. Emergency/Urgent Care NP Question

    I agree, that we are all professionally responsible to obtain the appropriate continuing education to maintain our licensure, however, the other educational requirements or opportunities our facilities offer, or require may differ from licensure requ...
