    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    BostonFNP replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that sometimes it is just easier to do things yourself. I don't think anyone disagrees that this was: 1. Assessed and triaged correctly as a non-urgent issue by the RN. 2. Was within the...

    Applying for DEA with temporary FNP

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

    You need a state license number to apply. You may also need a state CS number as

    Preceptor Finding service

    BostonFNP replied to kmnc777's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ask your program for help! Using pay-to-play services for securing preceptors isn't good for you in many

    Nursing to Medical School

    BostonFNP replied to doctor2bM97's topic in General Nursing

    You should speak with the premedical adviser at your college and try and get a handle on what you need to be competitive in applying to medical school, as much of it may depend on your undergraduate...

    Shingles

    BostonFNP replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    FWIW there actually is some evidence of nosocomial airborne/droplet spread of localized zoster to varicella-zoster, even in incompetent populations, which is why the CDC still maintains recommendation...

    Argument against full practice authority

    BostonFNP replied to stickit34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think we agree on a number of points, but I do want to point out there are two sides to most of these problems. In the end its strange that the majority of NPs and PA and MDs and DOs have good...

    Argument against full practice authority

    BostonFNP replied to stickit34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is not possible to study every single outcome but there is also no need to study every outcome. Of course the major published studies have evaluated outcomes on hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and...

    Jimmy Kimmel Thanks Nurses Who Saved His Infant Son's Life

    BostonFNP replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Was an awesome monologue. Go nurses. Something we all learn about but probably never see; highlights how important nurses and nursing education

    Farawyn! Have you been wandering? Where have you been? :) See 2 out of 100k or so isn't bad! It's the quality that counts

    Hospital NPs & Lounge Access

    BostonFNP replied to wyld~heart's topic in Advanced Practice

    Our NPs/PAs/CRNAs/CNWs all have access to the provider lounge. The lounge access itself is petty, your issue is a much broader one that needs to be

    ADN or BSN: What's the Big Deal?

    BostonFNP replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    It's much more helpful to consider this trend on a national level rather than an individual level which seems to get very personal for posters. What's behind the national trend what the AN survey...

    ADN or BSN: What's the Big Deal?

    BostonFNP replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    But what if they did? Would it change your impression? In small sample sizes the variance within individuals is clearly greater than between degrees, this is was large studies are built

    I will say for better or worse (and perhaps I am one of those people are happy to see not post as much), I post less because I miss the

    ADN or BSN: What's the Big Deal?

    BostonFNP replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    This should be an interesting discussion :) If we are speculating on the shift mine is that this represents a blend of employer preference in a low-demand market, gentrification, and the exponential...

    Nursing students who want to be NP's

    BostonFNP replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree there should remain stringent standards for advanced practice. I think most of us also probably agree that there should be some more stringent accreditation of NP programs. I also feel we...

    Nursing students who want to be NP's

    BostonFNP replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    It's ok, we all have misfires, context is often difficult on the internet. I do agree with you on the issue of novice NPs working in specialty roles, I posted previously on an experience of referring...

    Nursing students who want to be NP's

    BostonFNP replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think one is more advanced than the other (CNMW, CNP, CRNA, CNS) but the roles are very different. I am not qualified to speak towards CRNA because frankly I know very little about the role...

    Nursing students who want to be NP's

    BostonFNP replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure you understood my point because it sure sounds like after she tried to put you on a super high risk medication you lost faith/trust in her as a provider. Is that not true? I'm not sure...

    Issues with residents

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

    I had a similar situation one time but it was while I was working as an NP. We attend our own patients at a local community hospital that is not a teaching hospital but at times our specialists have...

    Nursing students who want to be NP's

    BostonFNP replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    You feel attacked because others have challenged your opinion which you state you have no interest in and have not done any research on? Rich, E. R. (2005). Does RN experience relate to NP clinical...

    Nursing students who want to be NP's

    BostonFNP replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    That's why we have the internet so we can all have opinions! Opinions are fine but I do think people should always consider whether they have the knowledge/perspective/expertise to share their...
