  1. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Tegridy replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    People realizing there are better jobs out there in non healthcare sectors. Most healthcare jobs are just a protracted and expensive education to do something less than glamorous for a mostly...

  2. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Tegridy replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well to bring it back on topic. Personally I would do traveling as it pays more than being an NP at least right now. By a lot at most places. I doubt traveling money will last but there seems to be a...

  3. Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    Tegridy replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    The more legit safety concerns are usually promoted by insurance companies. If something is wrong and something happens they have to pay out. Unfortunately insurance companies (not medical insurance...

  4. Nursing School Essentials

    Tegridy replied to ToshaAnn4's topic in General Students

    Personally I feel like for most things the 20-30 dollar stethoscopes work just as well as the expensive ones, excluding electronic ones which seem to be good, but honestly not worth to get one even...

  5. Horror Stories: Rethinking Nursing School

    Tegridy replied to ks__102's topic in General Students

    Yeah I never understood the mentally unfit part. If they are unable to function as a human being they should be in a long term psych facility. deinstitutionalization may not have been the best idea...

  6. Horror Stories: Rethinking Nursing School

    Tegridy replied to ks__102's topic in General Students

    Eh, unless you absolutely have to be a nurse there are plenty of other good professions out there. Personally if I ever got hit while in nursing school id milk that for everything I could and change...

  8. Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    Tegridy replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    2021 where it takes comedy for people to realize what’s been truth for a while. many one with half of a brain knows half of the clip board policies are either pointless or not backed by

  10. Possible HIPAA issue?

    Tegridy replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Email has to be encrypted but if the question is the wife unit asking for info it can be a violation if she not work for the company. Does

  11. Anyone prescribing Ivermectin or Hydroxychloriquine?

    Tegridy replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, not sure why it caught on as a treatment for covid. Obviously if during future and current studies if it shows benefit then we could but currently its just not guideline based treatment. I...

  12. Skills Testing

    Tegridy replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    No since its the only way to determine competence. Maybe if you have a terrible instructor who grades using subjective

  13. Nursing School Essentials

    Tegridy replied to ToshaAnn4's topic in General Students

    Mostly its things that are easy to understand but hard to do. 1. app blockers for phones, to prevent urge for social media (like this). 2. read one of the excellent reads on memory...

  14. Do you work with PA lines often? Are they really a thing of the past?

    Tegridy replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in Critical Care

    I am on a cardiac anesthesia rotation and saw probably the second one since I started residency. Only certain ct surgeons even use them

  15. APC Mentorship

    Tegridy replied to ShaynaP's topic in Advanced Practice

    What type of position are you taking? There are usually digestible texts for pretty much anything in

  16. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Tegridy replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you don't think that not getting a job right out of school will hurt you, you could always travel for another year or two then get a job. A lot of outpatient specialties are still hit from all the...

  17. CRNA Job Alternatives?

    Tegridy replied to Ketofol's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This person is probably doing fine and just stressing. The heroic gunners are the ones to worry

  18. Travel RNs Making $$ - Would you go back to it?

    Tegridy replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Depends on the job more than the role. And the size of the census to round

  19. Travel RNs Making $$ - Would you go back to it?

    Tegridy replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    why would someone want to work as a provider making 100k when you can make 250k with less liability? even if it was at a dump hole id rather make more money for that brief time period. esp at those...

  20. CRNA Job Alternatives?

    Tegridy replied to Ketofol's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would be more worried about those who do not know their limitations than those who do even if they might be having areas of struggle. You have another year and no-one is "perfect" at their role...

  21. Poor MD Problem Solving With GI Problems

    Tegridy replied to londonflo's topic in General Nursing

    Probably has more to do with the ease of getting a CT nowadays than having someone with you. Back then they had to pull the radiologists leg to get a CT, now its easier. Even then volvulus can be...

  22. Heart Rate Bouncing Up and Down

    Tegridy replied to halsey's topic in General Nursing

  25. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Completely agree, people tend to also forget that sicker doesn't mean more difficult and that if some one can "ICU" they can do anything. But I guess to get back on topic people shouldn't be a...
