  1. Looking for online Statistics for Health Care course for this Summer - non credit

    Tegridy replied to pnpvirginia's topic in General Students

    Tons of free stuff online and on Youtube. Linked in learning has a good stats course. 29 a month I think to sub to linked in learning. I wouldn’t spend money on a real course. Even try khan

  2. You're in my shoes, what would you do to become an RN?

    Tegridy replied to wknd's topic in General Students

    I’d try for pa or med school if you already have a bachelors. Take the prereqs and study for mcat. Unless you really only want to do nursing. Have you looked into all healthcare related

  3. Lithium and Dehydration

    Tegridy replied to BraveHeartABC's topic in Patient Medications

    It’ll just be more concentrated. The sodium part has something to do with like low sodium causing more of the lithium to stay inside cells. Through some weird ion channel that isn’t one of the...

  4. My Nursing Student cannot afford Laptop

    Tegridy replied to Sam_Rabbit's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    There is an hp laptop on amazon for 219 that would likely work. It’s probably better than my wife had in undergrad as a premed so I would say that she should be able to get some sort of need based...

  5. My Nursing Student cannot afford Laptop

    Tegridy replied to Sam_Rabbit's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Can she take out additional loans for one? I’m not sure on scholarships but she could probably get one for 200-300 that would work. Sometimes amazon has cheap ones that a few year models

  6. Any nurses wished they had become doctors?

    Tegridy replied to Future MSN's topic in Retired Nurses

    Haha I know. I think the OP may have it in her mind that nursing is a step to medical school which seems prevalent in those not acquainted with

  7. Dilute Negative Drug Test

    Tegridy replied to Alyssa's topic in General Nursing

    I drink a lot and usually get these. Have never had an

  8. Why In today’s society do nurses still have to pay for our RN license renewals

    Tegridy replied to Kymmylala's topic in General Nursing

    One of the best business plans is to somehow make your product a

  9. Any nurses wished they had become doctors?

    Tegridy replied to Future MSN's topic in Retired Nurses

    If you want to be a nurse go to nursing school. If you want to be a doctor go to medical school. Different jobs with different roles. Nursing isn’t really a stepping stone to become a doctor....

  10. CRNA to ACNP or FNP repost

    Tegridy replied to CVCRNA1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Essentially unless you want to work with kids Or women’s health I would do ACNP. Specialists even for their outpatient offices prefer this often. I haven’t done CRNA school but I am assuming you...

  11. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    Tegridy replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It is hard. Education gets easier as time goes by since we have more methods to provide it but gets a hundred times more difficult at the same time since there is more knowledge out there and resource...

  12. Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    Tegridy replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Depends if your pH is acidic or

  13. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    Tegridy replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think that would be better. It’s easier now a days with premade or professionally curated videos that are almost always better than individual instructor units. Again it’s not the instructors...

  14. Good Resources for New Cardiology NP

    Tegridy replied to Jeana18's topic in Advanced Practice

    I suppose for a book to have on desk they have like current cardiology but POC apps have taken the place of many books as things change quickly especially blood thinner studies

  15. Good Resources for New Cardiology NP

    Tegridy replied to Jeana18's topic in Advanced Practice

    So mostly follow up for anticoag or antiplt issues, lipids, screening for who needs stress and which stress test or lhc etc. med optimization for chf and probably some anti arrhythmia therapy chronic...

  16. Intimidated by being only male

    Tegridy replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Odds are good my

  17. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    Tegridy replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Like TBL? Maybe. It’s been like 9 years since I was in RN school but anything besides reading from slides we weren’t allowed to

  18. Good Resources for New Cardiology NP

    Tegridy replied to Jeana18's topic in Advanced Practice

    What are they going to be using you for? Notes in hospital? Office follow ups? cardiology secrets would be a good place to start. And the only ekg book you’ll ever need. (Actually name of the...

  19. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    Tegridy replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It sounds like you are doing good legwork Into the issue of students not paying attention. It’s not necessarily faculty’s fault. It can be the fault of the school forcing students to sit in...

  20. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    It doesn’t make sense to me either. Part of me feels like NPs without residency should have severely restricted practice or not be able to practice at all. Before all the NP hate comes in for this...

  21. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    I always see a lot of anti physician posts by nursing on fb groups yet many ask really simple questions everyone should know. TBH they should just let the anti physician nurse type open up a nurse...

  22. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    ICU isn’t a required rotation at most med schools since the bread and butter is everything else. It’s not a fair comparison - day one intern vs 10 year nurse. They have pulm cc fellowships for a...

  23. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    Lawl Harrison’s too much for anyone to remember practically. I liked frameworks as a base. Secrets series was good. Mksap nice. NEJM 360 is good for cases and stuff. Everything else more point of...

  24. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

    Yeah I think it is falling out of favor to have fnp.L in the hospital which is a good thing. I was an fnp in an inpatient role. But I was very rural so they could not recruit acnp for the job....

  25. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Makes me interested to what the data says about generational performance overall may hit this up on my time off and report back. Doubt it will be nursing specific though but probably more analytical...
