  1. Communication - from the other side

    TuxnadoDO posted a topic in Emergency

    ...no not from the OTHER SIDE, I meant from doctors! This is a short podcast done by the folks at EMOverEasy, an educational EM website: Rebroadcast: #NursingCommunication Part 1 – EM OVER Easy...

  2. Shocked by MD attitude

    TuxnadoDO replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Excuse me? I did not criticize. I did ask an additional question, which I find missing from many of the personal work stories posted on here. Over and over I see people posting stories of negative...

  3. Help in passing FNP aanp exam

    TuxnadoDO replied to bunnyrn401's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When you read the explanations for questions you get wrong, are you able to identify why your thinking was incorrect? Are you having trouble recalling factual information while test taking? If...

  4. Shocked by MD attitude

    TuxnadoDO replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If he truly reacted the way you say, then he sounds like a jerk. But...did you ask him how he would have preferred that you handle the situation? Did he want to be consulted before sending a patient...

  5. Non nursing PhD

    TuxnadoDO replied to SDStudent1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Gotcha. If your goal is to go above and beyond with studying, i would study from primary resources first (actual textbooks) - First Aid and books like that are used as review resources. Good luck!

  6. New To ER

    TuxnadoDO replied to iheartnursing91's topic in Emergency

    Omg you are so, so right! I love this forum! It's so amazing to talk to nursing colleagues who really get it! In residency, I absolutely loved critical care. I spent my days off listening to...

  7. New To ER

    TuxnadoDO replied to iheartnursing91's topic in Emergency

    I just graduated residency last summer, so wanted to add my two cents here. Don't allow yourself to be abused by the residents of course (and for the record I never witnessed this because as a...

  8. Novice Providers & Mortality

    TuxnadoDO replied to BostonFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Impossible to generalize. Completely depends on The field of the physician, the field of the NP, their level of experience, individual attitudes, how much they enjoy teaching, general personality,...

  9. Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    TuxnadoDO replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    For whatever reason, this physician was not in the right frame of mind to handle a patient/family like this. Maybe it's burn out. These patients and their family are challenging, because it's very...

  10. Feeling guilt over put unexpected death

    TuxnadoDO replied to regerterb's topic in Emergency

    You should feel no guilt. Sounds like an extremely difficult case. Massive PE is on the differential, sounds like he was in heart failure (cardiogenic shock), may have been critical aortic stenosis....

  11. Equal work for Equal Pay

    TuxnadoDO replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Aside from being incorrect, that's a very dangerous and ignorant attitude. I'm sorry, but you don't know what you don't

  12. Equal work for Equal Pay

    TuxnadoDO replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Absolutely.

  13. Equal work for Equal Pay

    TuxnadoDO replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Two people can paint the same picture, it doesn't mean it's the SAME picture. People complain about getting billed X dollars in the ER for a diagnosis of sprained ankle or concussion "because we...

  14. Returning to School

    TuxnadoDO replied to studentnurse5694's topic in General Students

    I don't have any advice, just wanted to say good luck! I'm sure your life experience is going to be invaluable both in school and when you start

  15. flirting at the workplace

    TuxnadoDO replied to learning247's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    DrNalepo, I'm confused as to what your advice is. Tell everyone what to do, or overlook the situation and move on? To the original poster: we all run into annoying situations. Unless you feel there...

  16. Fellow ship (as in MD kind) good idea?

    TuxnadoDO replied to Tony1790's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that you are mistaken about the nature of the programs you are talking about. Do you have a link to any of these programs? MD/DO fellowships require prior completion of specific ACGME or...

  17. Non nursing PhD

    TuxnadoDO replied to SDStudent1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So, I don't have psych experience beyond med school, but I did at various times consider MD/PhD and did a masters program where I worked with both MDs and MD/PhDs, so I got to see what their careers...

  18. Non nursing PhD

    TuxnadoDO replied to SDStudent1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What do you actually want to do at work every day? Evaluate, diagnose and treat patients? In what setting? Or research? Or

  19. Advice on a situation

    TuxnadoDO replied to Jw305's topic in Emergency

    Hi there :) I'm an ER doc and thought I'd give my POV. You've gotten some GREAT advice already! As long as the doctor you're dealing with isn't a total a-hole, you should be able to approach him/her...

  20. Don't trust my FNP

    TuxnadoDO replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The primary, whether physician or NP, should be able to start an autoimmune workup with ANA, RF, Anti-dsDNA, etc. If all negative, no need for rheumatology. RA typically doesn't present with...
