    Working in FNP School

    BostonFNP replied to Bsnmsntobegb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a big believer in the fact that the first year or two of practice as an RN is a steep learning curve and you owe it to yourself, your patients, and maybe your employer to focus on learning your...

    Nursing judgement in the community setting

    BostonFNP replied to yinit9278's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    My caveat on this is to let the PCP know especially if it is an ongoing issue! For learning purposes, I not too long ago had one of our local VNAs holding one of my patient's lactulose every day...

    Dr Death

    BostonFNP replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    Just finished this series. I thought it was very well done. But I've also seen hospitals here quietly remove surgeons after poor quality care and let them move on to the next stop down the road. It's...

    Do you use the title "Dr."?

    BostonFNP replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Physicians seem particularly concerned about this with nurses but not any other professions, which is interesting if their main argument is that patients might get confused. I don't think I've heard...

    bsn waste without license?

    BostonFNP replied to burtonmarg's topic in General Students

    I agree with others; even if you don't plan to work in a traditional nursing role, you should take the exam and get your RN license, even if you never plan to use it. It makes you a much more...

    Preceptor conflict

    BostonFNP replied to 10yearnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This isn't a good situation for you and I don't think there is much you can do about it other than to wait for the academic review. Is there any validity to these claims? It seems like an abrupt-face...

    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    BostonFNP replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    "To purchase a bag of Flamin' Hots is to dance with the devil, to throw one's fears of an inflamed brown eye to the wind in favor of the spectacular, mouth-searing present." I just love this

    Worried sick that I may have caught MRSA?

    BostonFNP replied to 8Lovenursing8's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean 'what .. does that have to do with the topic'? It's literally the basis for your whole post that you are concerned you have MRSA from indirect contact with a patient you (incorrectly)...

    BostonFNP replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Nursing

    The main issue isn't the "late waste" (as the waste never occurred) its the willful falsification of documentation. You are in some trouble here, hope you can get a lawyer. Your colleague is also in...

    BostonFNP replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think the doctors get the free parking and no one else does? They aren't unionized so it isn't the union picketing for them to get free parking and I haven't seen them on the corner holding...
