  3. Threw out back, what’s next?

    Tegridy replied to Lightning Rose's topic in General Nursing

    IDK I learned plenty of OMM in DO school. Some had data behind it some does not. Actually much of it does not. Same goes for chiros. Subluxation is a myth that if real would show up on MRI. That’s...

  4. Threw out back, what’s next?

    Tegridy replied to Lightning Rose's topic in General Nursing

    some chiro are OK. Until they start imaging your back and giving diagnoses. PT and physicians are better. A lot of chiros are quacks Docs give pills because most back pain is just muscle strains tx by...

  5. I just got hired in a plastic surgery clinic. Are these red flags?

    Tegridy replied to Puppylover0213's topic in General Nursing

    It seems most people are objecting basing it off seeing follow ups. To play devils advocate here: if the surgeon only does a couple surges it’s not hard for an RN to pick up (after being trained) on...

  6. I just got hired in a plastic surgery clinic. Are these red flags?

    Tegridy replied to Puppylover0213's topic in General Nursing

    It’s prob not as bad as it sounds in an online forum post but I wouldn’t do it with no benefits. Also if you want a hospital job in the future the narrow spectrum of this job won’t look good on...

  8. "Freebirth" - Dangerous Movement is Placing Expectant Mothers and Their Babies in Danger

    Tegridy replied to FullGlass's topic in Nursing News

  9. Any ex Premeds?

    Tegridy replied to Premed2hard's topic in General Students

    Back a decade ago most Caribs matched. Now it’s harder bc of DO schools. So now it’s mostly the top ones. Back then carib was a decent deal just not

  10. Any ex Premeds?

    Tegridy replied to Premed2hard's topic in General Students

    More just because step 1 is becoming pass/fail and Caribbean students will have a harder time getting into residency than they already have. Usually now the Caribbean docs who land decent residencies...

  11. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    Tegridy replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Tegridy replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Tegridy replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

  16. Have any of you read any medical textbooks? How did they compare to NP texts?

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

    Most our stuff in med school was ppt. Third and fourth year mix of qbank and books. I think the biggest book I read thru was some of ferris reading up on patients. I couldn’t imagine having good...

  19. Any ex Premeds?

    Tegridy replied to Premed2hard's topic in General Students

    He also seems to be leaving out that most Rn programs have a very high attrition rate. It’s not like you get in and automatically pass. I think mine had a 45% pass rate. Not due to difficulty but...
