  1. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Does having RN experience even matter for CRNA? I know it's a requirement but in general what does the ICU have to do with the OR besides titrating drips LOL to some preset number. Not a rhetorical...

  2. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    bc at 8-10 years they all ready kNoW

  3. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    To be back on point nursing is the only career that has intermingled with being a provider. Pt or pharm can't get a short cut to RX why can nursing

  4. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Same with medicine. A lot of other fields have more difficult subject matter. Though milage may very per individual. The nursing superiority and even the medicine superiority is nauseating. Seems like...

  5. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Might get some flak for not limping in nursing as an analytical career on a nursing forum haha. But likely the course work for all those things mentioned is probably harder than BSN nursing. So I...

  6. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'd def pay a residency or fellowship trained app more if I was hiring. Probably

  7. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Residency or fellowship requirement or nothing TBH. I've Too many headaches from APP er providers and/or hospital groups with mostly APPs that I can count. and please separate out inpatient...

  8. What happened to all the Walden Haters?

    Tegridy replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Cool. All that should be the minimum standard. Not something to stick a star on the fridge

  9. Metoprolol: A Comprehensive Overview for Nurses

    Tegridy replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Patient Medications

    It is a great overview but thyroid disease is a bit broad of a contraindication to place. Symptomatic hypothyroidism with bradycardia? sure. thyroid disease in general paints it too broad as there are...

  10. Nurse Anesthesiologist Name Change

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

    To level out the hour problem as mentioned above it would be reasonable to consider cases only and also the acuity/difficulty of the cases. Something left out of that 30 year old paper. I would still...

  11. Nurse Anesthesiologist Name Change

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

    LOL what? The only residents I know who might work less than 40 are psych.

  12. Nurse Anesthesiologist Name Change

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

    Useful activities still are around 60 hours. I think it's about the same now. Anesthesia isn't typically one of the specialities though work hour restrictions were put in place. More for surgery and...

  13. Things nurse students complain about

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

    The good ole "this is the way we did it back in my day so it will continue" is a great way to lead to stagnant teaching methods and low classroom

  14. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Pap could be included in the adult med part. I should have specified which specific tasks. I think they are all 1.5 at least, but it's probably reasonable to dispose of the part time...

  15. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm just not a fan of combined adult and ped medicine. Two completely different specialties. Just an opinion

  16. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    Tegridy replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    IDK but something like making all the NP degrees 1.5 full time years plus one year residency would be nice. And remove some of the redundant certs and just have: ped outpatient adult...

  17. Chronicles of a VA APRN Resident

    Tegridy replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced Practice

    Definitely did not mean to make my previous post sound as you may be anti government. Our VA seems to be a bit better in the above areas, though still it lacks in many areas that the private sector...

  18. EMR Rant

    Tegridy posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Something to think about when choosing aa job, the EMR. I am fairly young and have been using computers for >20 years. Having worked in several hospitals in many different roles, I have...

  19. EMR Rant

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

    oh that does sound nice. The VA has some sort of "booster" program which helps with some things, but its one of the only systems without global search functions. We don't work there often, which...

  20. EMR Rant

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

    Some are definitely superior to others. I’ve not heard of Genesis. Or the EMR platform that it is used on. CPRS has a few workarounds for making notes and other things fairly easy, but putting in...

  21. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    Tegridy replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If only it was like many of the trades, trade your labor for some training. The medical field is very weird. I guess that would be residency though. I couldn’t fathom going anywhere were a placement...

  22. EMR Rant

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

    I agree. At least part of the allscripts issue is our university pays for the cheapest version of an already bad emr and I doubt they keep it updated at all. Most of the issues sadly aren’t...

  23. Obesity in the Digital Age: Let's "Scale" Back the Misinformation

    Tegridy replied to Tana Bao's topic in General Nursing

    True. I do low carb in general. Eat a lot of keto labeled stuff but not actually trying for keto. But it’s got a lot of fiber which is nice and little to no carb. Mostly vegetarian based food but...

  24. Obesity in the Digital Age: Let's "Scale" Back the Misinformation

    Tegridy replied to Tana Bao's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly part of me enjoys the slower metabolism. Cost less in food money to maintain some muscle. Used to have to plow shakes and meat all day to get anything. Not so much

  25. Obesity in the Digital Age: Let's "Scale" Back the Misinformation

    Tegridy replied to Tana Bao's topic in General Nursing

    IDK diets diets are fad. Essentially it’s calories in equal calories out. Is it easy? No. I’ve been overweight in the past and it is hard to lose weight. Usually I approach it as keep a diet log...
