  1. Weight Loss for Nurses

    Oldmahubbard replied to EmxoRenee's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have lost 10-15 lbs over the last year, and would like to keep up the trend. It has made a difference. I feel better, clothes fit better. Essentially I limit carbs, and only eat enough to stave off...

  2. Second degree / career change

    Oldmahubbard replied to Nutritionturnednurse_tn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Death knell for nursing. Like teaching where there are 100+ applicants for every

  3. New York State RN App Denial

    Oldmahubbard replied to NamasteNurse8's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Your story is sad. It doesn't seem right to me, but unfortunately, your crimes occurred in 2 "tough on crime" southern states. Things would probably be very different if they had happened in NY, or...

  4. How does physician oversight work

    Oldmahubbard replied to riquelle's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The moral of the story is that state laws differ widely and the NP has to know the applicable laws. In my program, 20 years ago, I don't remember it ever being discussed. And there was a collaboration...

  5. One NP with online education

    Oldmahubbard replied to Subee2's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't even finish reading the link, it was making me sick. And yes, there are unscrupulous MD's out there as well. With regards to the NP in the article, I don't think he has a knowledge deficit,...

  6. How does physician oversight work

    Oldmahubbard replied to riquelle's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The requirements in every state are different, but in no state does an NP have to run everything by a physician. It wouldn't be economically feasible. Some states have a protocol book, a standard...

  7. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Oldmahubbard replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Not in favor. Not in favor of grade inflation, degree inflation, and online programs with few admission standards. Not in favor of using a Dr title when you have completed a meaningless (my opinion)...

  8. SRNAs demeaning other DNP specialties

    Oldmahubbard replied to SRNA123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This doesn't surprise me that much. It is rather childish. But the truth is CRNA programs are really tough to get into, and most other APRN programs are not. There is a difference. It is unfortunate...

  9. Questionnaire for Psychiatrist!

    Oldmahubbard replied to Shabnam.Masroor's topic in General Students

    There are some PMHNP's here who might be willing to answer a few of these questions. Some of the questions are poorly

  10. I'm the bad guy for not working off the clock

    Oldmahubbard replied to cwilliams032's topic in General Nursing

    I bet they are getting OT. Yeah, it's bogus. Could be you'll be told you are not a "good fit." The fine art of chatting at work. Yes it builds work friendships and team cohesion. But long...

  11. Feeling lost, need advice

    Oldmahubbard replied to ConfusedNewbie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Truly you were in over your head. Some of us have been there. I doubt nursing was a mistake, but the position was way too intense. The first year is usually awful. I am glad you're ok. I am an NP and...

  12. Maintaining BLS while not currently working

    Oldmahubbard replied to hookemhorns012's topic in General Nursing

    Not a dumb question. If something came up in your home, the neighborhood, or even the grocery store, would you want to be able to

    Oldmahubbard replied to rubyagnes's topic in Gastroenterology

    Good

  14. Will I lose my nursing license for a traffic violation?

    Oldmahubbard replied to karmax1's topic in General Nursing

    If it really is a misdemeanor, it is a crime and an enormously big deal. Get a lawyer. This is not an ordinary traffic offense, if that is the case A friend had a misdemeanor in my state in 1985....

  15. Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    Oldmahubbard replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    Fraud

  16. Full Practice Authority

    Oldmahubbard replied to rkealy's topic in Advanced Practice

    It is up to the APRN to know when they should refer. But it is true in a FPA state, there is no physician

  17. Please help in picking a topic for a research paper!

    Oldmahubbard replied to proudRN's topic in General Students

    From that list, I would choose Health Literacy. There should be a ton of recent articles about it. A couple of those topics make me look for an emesis basin, but I'm

  18. First NP Job

    Oldmahubbard replied to dnpfnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I find it odd that you are not qualified in her eyes to see pts, but you are fine to take call. It is going to be a long time before there is enough volume for 2 providers. Possibly a very long time....

  19. Notanewnurse

    Oldmahubbard replied to OneRN50's topic in General Nursing

    It would help to know specifically what are the

  20. Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Oldmahubbard replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is not in health care, but he had to sign an agreement that he would not post anything negative about the company on social media. Somebody turned him in. Welcome to nursing, I hope that's...

  21. What is your "thing" and how do you deal with it?

    Oldmahubbard replied to Robin Verde's topic in General Nursing

    Patient has been continuously incontinent of urine for weeks and does not allow herself or even the room to be cleaned. This LTC. I cannot enter. I will

  22. Full Practice Authority

    Oldmahubbard replied to rkealy's topic in Advanced Practice

    The group projects were asinine. Do MD students do any moronic group projects? Embarrassing. For shame. I am just fervently praying the whole debacle doesn't hit the front page of the NY Times in the...

  23. Full Practice Authority

    Oldmahubbard replied to rkealy's topic in Advanced Practice

    At the same time the quality of NP education is declining, which I think is indisputable, FPA is increasing. I fear a perfect storm, but I hope to be at least semi-retired by

  24. Full Practice Authority

    Oldmahubbard replied to rkealy's topic in Advanced Practice

    Absolutely. The nominal physician collaboration previously required in my state did nothing at all to protect the public. A chart review months after the fact? And the patient was never seen by the...

  25. No Pain Relief for UTI

    Oldmahubbard replied to ShadowNurse's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Neon orange, if I might add... stains the fingers that touch a pill,
