    Michigan HPRP newbie

    Subee2 replied to Bravo-rn47's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Every employer is different. Board only wants you to have a job with no narcotic access until you are further along in the program. Geez, how did I get into boldface that I can't

    Can We Talk About Nurse Suicide?

    Subee2 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Glad the problem is being outed. Over the years I have felt that the rate is rising but had no proof since the CDC doesn't keep these statistics (only for MD's). There is a direct relationship...

    Ultimate Goal is to become a Pediatrics Nurse Practitioner but I don't know how to get there

    Subee2 replied to Nursing3000shots's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    IMHO, pediatric OR wouldn't give you any skills applicable to NP. Your job will be to get the room ready while anesthesia is seeing the patient. You would actually have only see the patient and...

    Internationally-Trained Nurses in NY: The CGFNS is not mandatory

    Subee2 replied to Claire Speaks's topic in International Nursing

    "What!? I don't need the CGFNS for New York?". The answer is NO! You don't! Great news, right? Actually, the answer is yes:) Yes, you don't need the CGFNS. But useful information in your

    What would happen if I just surrendered my license?

    Subee2 replied to tostayaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Have you actually researched your state diversion program. Go to AANA.com and search for the peer assistance program page. You will come up with a list from the programs in each state. In my...

    Question regarding minimum staffing

    Subee2 replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I had that job! But it was 1979 far, far back in time when ICU meant bring out the leeches because we didn't have a hell of a lot else. Can you get any help from your state board since they know...

    What's it like to be an RN in California?

    Subee2 replied to DebbieCakes's topic in General Nursing

    What part of California are you dreaming about? It's a huge state and a variety of climates and cultures. But, no matter where you are, even in the hot valley, housing is expensive...very...

    PAs in Anesthesia

    Subee2 replied to Dodongo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    In the state of Kentucky, non CRNA or MDA providers must be PA's. But neither they, nor AA's can work

    What would happen if I just surrendered my license?

    Subee2 replied to tostayaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OP: Google Association of Nurse Attorneys and see if there is one in your state, unless your present attorney is familiar with BON cases. Your state may be enlightened with a great diversion program...

    Anyone know anything about accelerated nursing programs??

    Subee2 replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To the OP: If you are sure nursing is what you want to do, IMHO, I think you should just get into the nursing program by starting on your pre-reqs and any other general required courses you have...

    The Importance of a Title: Anesthesiologist vs. Nurse Anesthetist

    Subee2 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    And your undergraduate degree in basket-weaving teaches you a whole lot about anesthesia? I just posted about being able to work independently as a new grad and just want to add that I could do that...

    The Importance of a Title: Anesthesiologist vs. Nurse Anesthetist

    Subee2 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    In this case you are correct: Most CRNA's do practice in ACT's. However, you are wrong to equate the ability to work "independently" in only 1/3 or the states. That number have moved up and recent...

    The Importance of a Title: Anesthesiologist vs. Nurse Anesthetist

    Subee2 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    It has been my experience that the majority of RN's have no idea of what we do. A few years back, one of the nurses in the holding area told me she thought that all the intubations were done by the...

    Who Did NOT Do a Year of Med Surg?

    Subee2 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering.....are nurses in California as apathetic about working med surg with having nurse-patient ratios? Would all this antipathy disappear if nurses never had to take care of more than 4...

    Sick Days?

    Subee2 replied to newbienurse97's topic in General Nursing

    Back in the last century I was a DON. If someone called in sick in 3 separate incidents, I'd call them in for a conversation. Perhaps their constitution isn't up to the rigors of floor nursing....

    Miserable New Grad

    New Study Finds Association between Human Error and Surgical Adverse Events

    Subee2 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    It it cleaner, quicker and less traumatic to have the foley done in the OR. Only takes a minute. And you are right about having a consistent team in the room. It's boring for anesthesia but good...

    Just an odd name for a school that is in the middle of the country:) It is an expensive for profit college. It seems to be too new to know if they are adding to the college loan crisis yet, but this...
