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

  3. New Nursing Student Questions

    Tegridy replied to Clarinet's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1- you’ll probably meet and experience people that are less than pleasant in school and at clinical. Just try to gravitate toward the ones that are decent. If you like your job as and aid your...

  4. Nurse Practitioner with emphasis in nutrition

    Tegridy replied to MICURN123.'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why even go to NP school, most of those people probably just have personal trainers if they are that high of level of competition. So could do that. As stated above its mostly a free enterprise type...

  5. 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've only seen them sparingly used, usually we use the less invasive methods (though they are less accurate) but I don't think in most cases of general ICU medicine they make that much of a difference...

    Tegridy replied to runner_rn_91's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  7. Pathophysiology - HELP!

    Tegridy replied to jwirth.rn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    according to that website link you posted they really do need to replace Porth with something better in NP

  8. Nurse Practitioner Residencies

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

    Hospital medicine is so broad its insane. I feel a lot of people think if they can do ICU they can do anything, but they forget the ICU is a pretty narrow niche, even if the stakes are higher and...

  9. What should I know before Nursing School?

    Tegridy replied to FutureNurseSL90's topic in General Students

    For sure, nursing textbooks are to make profit for publishers not provide meaningful

  10. Normal Findings List?

    Tegridy replied to kpmadden83's topic in General Students

    8 pages is a lot, can’t even think of how to fill 8 pages worth of normal unless you put without XYZ… seems over the

  11. Pathophysiology - HELP!

    Tegridy replied to jwirth.rn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    at least people finally realizing 2 years of soft work doesn’t = med school and

  12. Forgot to call doc after lab called

    Tegridy replied to Brittney Johnson's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is ours and we do follow up but the nurses are supposed to call it but they barely ever do. yes people do get treated appropriately, but obviously we have too many patients to check blood cultures...

  13. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think, or more than likely we both think, correct me if not so, that MOST people who become NPs probably shouldn't since its not an escape from the bedside and many do it for the wrong reasons. Many...

  14. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

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

    CRNA is a good route, Glad it worked out. Some places can end up ahead in lifetime earnings vs physicians in some

  15. VIP Patient Demanding His Drugs

    Tegridy replied to athey1999's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would not RX anything nor allow a patient to leave after having any type of narcotic and then drive home. If the hospital gave any push back I would quit and report them to the state, and as above...

  16. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Let's be honest right now anyone will hire any warm body off the street for most entry level jobs.. But nonetheless 100k is a good salary but relative to CRNA its not. Primary care for physicians...

  17. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    I wouldn't work as a provider for 100k, not worth the risk nor the time it takes to keep reasonably up to date. I would still do CRNA or NP. I agree the best will usually get hired but most NPs are...

  18. Pathophysiology - HELP!

    Tegridy replied to jwirth.rn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can assure you that your one class did not cover 4 years worth of medical

  19. What should I know before Nursing School?

    Tegridy replied to FutureNurseSL90's topic in General Students

    probably due to the discordance between what's taught in nursing school versus what is actually useful in real life. Like s/s of electrolyte imbalances.... 99% of the time there are none, just random...

  20. Full Practice Authority of Nursing

    Tegridy replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    residencies and fellowships are the only thing that should lead to more scope. Let's be honest, if the consult services didn't have the attending physician we would be downgrading care by pursuing...

  21. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Not much for jobs in my area for NPs, they still need CRNAS though, I mean it was bad enough for me to go back and slug through med school. take it from me its not worth it being an NP at this point....

  22. Forgot to call doc after lab called

    Tegridy replied to Brittney Johnson's topic in First Year After Licensure

    the nurses barely ever call us about positive blood cultures, at least you care enough to let us know. I mean its our responsibility to notice it but hit or miss depending on the floor whether or not...

  23. Considering becoming an APRN

    Tegridy replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze for any advanced practice specialty besides CRNA. If you can deal for a few years the payoff would be much more than NP. CRNA market is much better than...

  24. I Need Help To Improve Writing Skill On Nursing Notes

    Tegridy replied to yx5001's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't sweat it too much, the above reads much better than half the notes from foreign docs and a lot of American ones also
