  1. FNP Program

    My advanced patho course was completely proctored exam based. There was an in depth covering of patho utilizing organic and biochem as foundation. We did zero papers for the class.
  2. Not today!!

    Perfect.
  3. Not today!!

    Always transfer person after administering epi. I think it's around 1/5 of the time a second dose is required or further intervention. edit: from the AAAAI: "The child's physician should provide guidance for when and how much epinephrine to use if ar...
  4. So disappointed with on-line program

    I could have chosen a lesser quality education, but I quit my job and found a schedule that works around my uni's.
  5. So disappointed with on-line program

    I attend lab hours every week for insight into real world practice and scenarios. There is so much that needs to be learned that we need baseline knowledge prior to utilizing the expansive resources available online or through mobile devices.
  6. So disappointed with on-line program

    My patho course was extremely difficult, taught by a phd in physio who is well-respected in the field from ivy uni, proctored exams, and there was a heavy emphasis on organic and biochemistry throughout.
  7. 911 call

    Why do we shine lights in the eyes of conscious patients after head injury? | The BMJ
  8. SOOOOO

    Well-done. Situations like this occur once in a while, and they tend to go unnoticed.
  9. What would you have done?

    Seems fine. She is not altered, nor is she unstable. If parent requests for 911, then it is a different story. Focus on interventions to provide a safe school environment from this point forward.
  10. Ugh- helicopter/tiger mom!

    I had a parent who would do something similar daily. Parent eventually felt confident in my ability, and stopped coming.
  11. Student Body Odor

    Smart move! In the past, I have addressed the issue myself. Assessed student to determine factors r/t to foul odor (ie. refuse to shower, not wearing deodorant, parent refusing to wash clothes, etc.). Then, I notified the parent. It ends up with eit...
  12. IEP/504 Help!

    Your role in a IEP vs 504 is completely different. It requires more training than what is posted online. Seriously, though, advocate for yourself and acquire the necessary training. You've been given good advice in this thread.
  13. Type 1 diabetics, help!

    The responses in this thread are terrifying. Follow physician orders. Not all students require carb coverage. If you have any concerns or input you should consult provider assuming you have a release.
  14. Help with diabetic students

    Independent management orders exist and they're typically completed after demonstrated competence.
  15. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    I think the take home message is that not all NP programs are made the same. Some want you to succeed, and some pump out degrees.
  16. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    I do not stand anywhere near your experience, as I am a student in a FNP program. However, I will say the first day of clinical as a student RN I encountered a resident medication error. I cannot attest to anything else you've written. If you want to...
  17. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    We have physical examination testing by faculty, and diagnostics skills testing.
  18. Summer sports clearance HS

    Acquire overtime pay for certain days you show up to clear students.
  19. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    My courses are conducted via the internet and require me to attend synchronous online classes at specific times. The classes are instructed by top professor from around the nation (upenn, hopkins, columbia). Online is the future, to an extent. Look a...
  20. High School Nurses how do you....

    Assess the student. Is there a physiologic reason for the student being tired? Consider medication side effects or recent illness. Is the student being bullied? Is the student feeling depressed and looking for a private chat? Rule out everything else...
  21. Direct Entry NP Programs

    Yeah, that program I linked is not direct NP route. It mentions in regards to acquiring post-masters FNP: "Post-Masters Family Nurse Practitioner Option WesternU College of Graduate Nursing graduates will be given first consideration when applying to...
  22. FNP working in acute care setting in Nevada

    Useful links. I am definitely considering doing post-grad agacnp
  23. Direct Entry NP Programs

    It depends on your location. In California, here's a school for you: Competitive Candidate - Master of Science in Nursing - Entry (MSN)
  24. Just how busy is an online NP master program?

    I am attending a top uni in the US, and it is demanding. I resigned from my previous job to work part-time elsewhere to have a more flexible schedule. It is demanding, because how much you put into the program is what you get out of it. We have exams...
