  1. Are you referring to moi? I've been a nurse for over 25 years. What is it that you're trying to
  2. I think the the confusion that surrounds the CNL scope lies in the word "bedside". The "direct-care" that the CNL is doing is patient teaching. The CNL is not meant to be in the staff mix as a...
  3. CNS vs NP

    I graduated with a CNL, and love all of the growth and momentum that I am seeing in this field. The CNL has a broader scope of practice than that of a bedside expert”. The CNL is an advanced...
  4. To the absent OP: Nursing school is hard. Actual nursing is even harder ~ (in more ways than one), but mostly in the sense that your responsibility to be accountable for your actions become...
  5. AGACNP to FNP

    Thank you Commuter- I am encumbered with limitations from the mobile AN App. Could not look up
  6. AGACNP to FNP

    Where are you located? Curious about use of FNP's within the inpatient
  7. Virtual ARNP out of state?

    Provocative idea. This is currently being done via telemedicine through the Kaiser Permanente call center. You have to be a member of their insurance group (Kaiser), however, you can be out of...
  8. I'm currently working on my FNP, after having earned my MSN/CNL. Although FNP's do not function in the hospital setting in California like the Acute Care NP's, the FNP's still see patients in the ER...
  9. Nclex RN the dangerous word

    Sorry, my crystal ball is still broken from overuse during the 1.5 billion lotto ticket craze. Who Knows when it will be up and running again after that hot mess..... In the meantime, I guess your...
  10. Hi Psychcns. Thank you for your response. I would like to see patients in the inpatient setting (in California), but I also want to be able to see all age groups. I want to have more range than an...
  11. Pre-Employment Nicotine Test

    YAY!!!!! 14 days!!!! All I can think of is KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! :) 14 days can turn into 14 weeks, and then 14 months. I know this doesn't answer the question that you asked, but I just had...
  12. Unpaid Mandatory Meetings?

    Nurses have so much power that goes un-utilized. If the nurses on your unit decided that NONE of you were going to go to this huddle until management changed it to after report, it would be kind of...
  13. Struggling :(

    Start with an outline of your paper; a rough draft of what you will have. Do you have a rubric for your paper? Use that to break it into bite sized
  14. You could also look at Masters Entry RN programs in your area. Just a thought, as you might not have known to consider this

  16. Questions for Nurse Recruiters/Managers

    My hospital allowed some RN to MSN employees the courtesy of "BSN" recognition in their pay rates when they reached a certain point in their education. One thing to note: at MAGNET hospitals, they...
  17. MSN

    As a CNL myself, I would recommend the CNL focus for your MSN degree. The CNL is not forced into a specialization, such as "Cardiology", for example. With your MSN, CNL, you are able to take your...
  18. I'm beginning to understand more of a clear picture of how events unfolded, based on your written exchange with other posters
  19. Case management MSN

    I would recommend the MSN - CNL role. When you think of role-specification, when compared to the other MSN degrees: NP, CNS, CM, CRNA, Educator, and on, the CNL role is more like a broad spectrum...
  20. CLEP credits-too much?

    I've CLEP'd classes before, and they are
  21. 1 month new ICU job. I want to run

    I would insist upon a second opinion. Get a different preceptor. A good nurse, does not always, a good preceptor
  22. Master's degree

    Went back to school for my Masters last year and graduated with a MSN/CNL this year. Very glad I did it, because I like having options for the last 20 years of my career. After 25+ years as the...
  23. Just so you know ~ a lot of folks just scroll past a thread in the "what's new" section. That's what I did to wind up here. I certainly don't go to the students section and hang out. I saw the...

  25. lasix not given..

    What is the patients kidney function like? What are the daily weights? What kind of trend have you seen in the past two weeks? What is the I/O? Does the patient get winded with baseline activity?...
