  1. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    Tegridy replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    Not completely on topic, but "pain being what the patient says it is" is what lead us to the opioid epidemic. I remember being taught that back in nursing school 10 or so years ago and now we know...

  2. New nurse practitioner here Please help

    Tegridy replied to amc248's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am assuming they are punting their DM1s and DM2s who are either difficult to manage or have lazy PCPs to you as most endo clinics do. Leaving the endocrinologist with the more rare stuff/patients...

  3. New nurse practitioner here Please help

    Tegridy replied to amc248's topic in Advanced Practice

    You say your education was great but then say you can't manage patients on your own I am confused? Pick up an endocrinology book and start reading, for the sake of your patient's

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

    Best thing to do is ask whoever your attending

  6. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    No real need for hate unless there are NPs coming out and saying they are equal to doctors, even then we just shake our head and move on. Nps are an important role in healthcare but I am not worried...

  7. Should I pay for clinical hours for an NP preceptor, and if so, how much is too much to pay?

    Tegridy replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Students are dumb enough to pay to go to programs that do not find preceptors, so why would they provide them? IMO they aren't giving you the full educational experience, but hey, if people are...

  8. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    I always chuckle when new grad mid levels come out and insinuate medical school is unneeded. Back to the topic though, issue with PAs is they are generalists. So technically an independent PA could do...

  9. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Tegridy replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Less money for deadly force but higher salary then? You get what you pay for. Would you rather have a 20k cop protecting your neighborhood or a 60k cop, which job is going to attract a better...

  10. What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    Tegridy replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm not against defunding those or the police. I prefer to keep my tax dollars. Also, there are many on the far left to whom defunding police means to abolish, its actually pretty prevalent. the word...

  11. What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    Tegridy replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Driving drunk leads to an arrest no matter under current law. Mothers against drunk driving worked hard to make it that way. He should have complied with police, but he did not, and paid the price....

  12. What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    Tegridy replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

  13. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Tegridy replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    It’s not even worth the time convincing them with stats. I agree police reform would be great and there is some racism to be stamped out in America but WOW! you can’t just say everything is...

  14. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Tegridy replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    They already have trouble recruiting why do you think less money would help the situation? You get what you pay

  15. What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    Tegridy replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Honestly let’s just let the people that want to defund the police do it. But when they ask for cops back after cities become escape from New York we will say told you

  16. Fear-mongering in nursing school

    Tegridy replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    Some of the good would be hands on work, talking to patients and family, learning medical knowledge, enjoying the work flow of the shift, and seeing patients get better. Nursing is hands on work. Blue...

  17. Fear-mongering in nursing school

    Tegridy replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    Nursing is no more holistic than medicine. Everyone is taught to be holistic now. Nursing absolutely does not have a patent on holistic care. Also, nursing theory and nursing diagnoses are mostly...

  18. Fear-mongering in nursing school

    Tegridy replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    I suggest a simple problem list like doctors use. No need for unnecessary complexity for the sake of trying to make nursing appear more complex than it is. Nursing diagnoses are

  19. Fear-mongering in nursing school

    Tegridy replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    I’m not sure who being in the lead would be better I would have been happier just learning more science and practical hands on skills in nursing school and excluding nursing theory and care plans....

  20. Should I ignore people who say that every career should have a week dedicated to them?

    Tegridy replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Suprised to see this thread this time of year. Usually these pop up day after thanksgiving when everyone decides to pull it out and have a pissing contest. TLDR version- who

  21. First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    Tegridy replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah this is a personal issue. I made a few med errors when I first started. No harm. I took corrective action myself and started following the protocols better and wala no more errors. Yeah I had a...

  22. Fear-mongering in nursing school

    Tegridy replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    I never really found any use in them and neither did my classmates. They should have spent the time teaching nurses when to page and when not to page the provider, what actually constitutes freaking...

  23. I have a hard time "thinking like a nurse"

    Tegridy replied to miniimufin's topic in General Students

    Eh thinking like a nurse isn’t a thing. It’s just thinking and reasoning just as everything else requires.

  24. Fear-mongering in nursing school

    Tegridy replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    People are really good at trying to make it sound like whatever it is their profession is is harder than everything else. I do feel this is more prevalent in nursing though. Probably due to many...
