InquisitiveAPN

No idea. Nursing did itself a professional disservice in alienating other healthcare disciplines and pushing this mantra of "nursing practice." For years, I've failed to identify what exactly it is that nurses believe to be a body of knowledge all to...

I'm a new APN with the VA. From what I gather thus far they're very leadership driven. By emphasizing your leadership skills and desire to work in an environment of change and enrichment you might boost your resume. With government employment look a...

The only interactions I've had with nurse educators were in renewing _ _ LS classes, giving new hire orientation, and in-service on new supplies. I don't think a theoretical "why patients come to the hospital" is necessary or cost effective at the s...

I'm watching Paw Patrol so I didn't read everything. Let me state, I'm watching Paw Patrol with my kiddo. Lots of nurses take jobs that make school feasible. I only worked as a RN during grad school and (never as a RN to be a RN) and changed jobs ea...

I worked at an organization that hired an administrative assistant to help out the receptionist, lol. Gutless office manager couldn't fire people. The place eventually went out of business, lol. I'm not saying nurses are medical studs but a lot of M...

Just get a second opinion. My wife saw an allergist for years and never got better. Saw a second allergist, added some labs, and the right diagnosis was finally made. Wasn't just allergies, lol. I love going to the dentist and optimetrist but hate s...

I think your survey isn't tailored well. I'm a faculty member part-time. I have another full-time job. While I like getting paid by the university, I took the position to reinvigorate my clinic burnout and boost my CV. So do I think about leaving? Ne...

Are you interested in a master's to leverage a new career? If so, why limit it to something compatible with nursing? Interested in a OTD or DPT? Maybe a PA instead. Anything cyber is big right now. MBAs need experience or a special skills. Floor n...

Kids without mental illness are unpredictable because they're not inhibited and often without remorse. Throwing psychopathology into the mix creates too many variables. I'm not a fan of verbal de-escalation among manic and psychotic peoples, but th...

It's not so much a matter of XYZ drug for ABC disorder. Zyprexa is relatively cheap and generally does a good job of shutting people down in an inpatient environment be it psychosis, mania, aggression. There's also Zyprexa Zydis which is SL administr...

You come off as snarky.

Inpatient work is a dungeon. Much worse, IMO.

You can find jobs that fund malpractice, licensing, and CEUs. I don't see any of that as a problem. I don't let patients leave my presence until I'm finished documenting. Why? Because by 10:00, I wouldn't have a clue what the 8:30 said or did. If yo...

Psychiatry.

Since you ask about the MPH, what's the consensus among MHA grads about MPH trained administrators?

May I ask what your job is now and where you see your career going from there?

Are you looking for handouts for the clients or education? If the latter, get Stahl's books. His prescriber's guide lists approved and off label uses, augmentation strategies, etc. The essentials books does a fun job explaining how most psych meds wo...

Tips: Don't argue these. Do it. My hobby, as it were, used to be personal development and enrichment. Read A LOT of leadership books and development books. Dial up Tim Ferris and study his stuff. Read about economics as this changes many perspecti...

"She been spittin' up collards all evenin.'" "I done had this since______." "I think I got somethin' in my butt." "I'm outta Klonopin." "I know you're not 'sposed to, but I took my friend's medicine." "I've had a [rhymes with donor] all day." "Mother...

Considered it myself! Mostly the "cybersecurity" side as well as computer forensics.

As my fluffy childhood friend would thoughtfully say removing a grape sucker from his mouth, "Welp, I dohno." Well, I don't know. It's a multifactorial probelm shared by lawyers and pharmacists. Too many schools many if which have questionable stan...

Both my account, and a friend who's a trust and estate (i.e. tax) attorney feel like the value of a LLC isn't great. You're still liable for any malpractice and almost anything but very specific, business-oriented liability like not paying phone bil...

I agree. Doctors are cordial. Dentists are too. CRNAs, and very few NPs, party with docs. Going to a meet up with nurses, and most NPs, is like going to a meeting with a bunch of fun-averse nuns or being or a dog who hikes his leg in the wrong yard.

I was walking my dog one night and having had coincidental converations with three different CRNAs I'd never met before for various social and client reasons began wondering about becoming a CRNA as a NP. I made over a half million dollars in three ...

Just become the NP. If you don't like the clinical stuff you can ways quit that and go support bedside nurses somehow. It doesnt - and shouldn't - take a special credential for that. Plus you can go teach at the University on the side for meager but ...
