  1. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yea tell that to the ICU nurses who always talk about how they know everything even though they would probably take 4 hours to write one progress note. I don't think my previous nursing...

  2. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Its quicker in most places. IMGs can graduate much younger than we can most of the time. The American medical school system is sort of a bad deal for Americans (cost and time). But that's a whole...

  3. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    1 year residency because being a hospital RN doesn't have anything to do with outpatient

  4. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree that would be ideal. At most they should instill the idea that everyone has their limitations and gaps in knowledge. Seems like a lot of the NPs come out thinking they know everything. Some...

  5. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Probably cross coverage at some hospital without specialist back up and a tired ED doc as the attending for the floor and the ED. Basically just transferring stuff out then.

  6. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    They probably can I just haven't searched for it. Right now the need is for RNs but im sure this bloat in travel salary won't

  7. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    But if you look at the metrics covered its the simplest of things to manage that yes you do not need an MD to manage and a 4th year med student could probably cover the metrics they studied. I doubt...

  8. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree it is. high 100s is great money, low 100s is eh a level of pay reachable by many other less headache-ish careers. I guess comparing to PCP MD though I think most are offering us like close to...

  9. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

  11. Nurse Anesthesiologist Name Change

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

    But they do an actual 3 year residency similar to an MDA in addition to whichever other training they do. (did not count the prelim MDA year) Nurse anesthetist is a fine title and again its just...

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

    It just really sounds like a way to blur the lines between an anesthesiologist and

  13. Career change at 46.......

    Tegridy replied to KaseyC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    46 is young nowadays. Most of us without too many health concerns living middle class lives should *usually* expect to live to our late 80s or 90s (barring some unlikely thing occurs). I wouldn't...

  14. FNP - to surgery

    Tegridy replied to Sun1's topic in Advanced Practice

    I mostly see PAs on the surgical services but have seen a few NPs. I don't know what they do in the oR (I guess first assist) but they all seem to be used as assistants for rounding on patients. I...

  15. Calls and Weekends

    Tegridy replied to integrativenurse's topic in Advanced Practice

  17. Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    Tegridy replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    What you describe is not exclusive to nursing. Plenty of fields out there with much of the above with less pay. Military, law enforcement, social work, etc. Plenty of other jobs that can...

  18. Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    Tegridy replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I think employers play the guilt card everywhere but I agree probably not to the extent that they do for nurses. Yeah just don’t eat it or stab yourself with the

  21. Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    Tegridy replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Tough question for any field. I do think big cooperations have too much power but basically comes down to what the market will bear, which….. doesn’t always have an answer. Currently seems like...
