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

    Tegridy replied to Tana Bao's topic in General Nursing

    For real people try to over complicate things. Just look up what a healthy diet is online and eat a net negative calorie balance. Anything more is complicating something simple. It’s more habit and...

  2. Why does Nursing have to be a passion?

    Tegridy replied to Guest1201734's topic in General Nursing

  4. UTI Coughing

    Tegridy replied to thisnurse123's topic in General Nursing

    That is probably the dumbest test question ever. Even if UTI is meant to be URI. Who writes this

  5. Want to Be a Nurse, But Hesitations

    Tegridy replied to tortellini101's topic in General Nursing

    Too dumb? I doubt it. But I would choose something not healthcare related. Nursing doesn’t pay enough to deal w patients or other

  6. Can RNs in CA give Propofol??

    Tegridy replied to RNlmbhb's topic in Patient Medications

    On epic it usually has which drug requires md presence. Some are limited to anesthesia only I believe at certain hospitals. One places where I worked as an NP we could push it for intubations. The...

  9. DNP vs MSN

    Tegridy replied to RN_BSN_MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Fortunately most hospital credentialing boards think otherwise. Scope is just a snuff term used by nursing but in most cases doesn’t really mean anything. Credentialing determines what you can and...

  10. No NP jobs. What now?

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

    Or people should get a brain and not chase degrees that aren’t worth it. more keep doing it so I can hire like four nps for cheap and sit home all day and

  12. New grad NP in pain management, bad idea?

    Tegridy replied to J&B-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Patients being unprofessional sounds like a good reason to Titrate them off the narcotics they probably do not need

    Tegridy replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I couldn’t imagine paying to get a PHD. Big red

  15. The Failing Preceptor System for Nurse Practitioner Students: A Student's Perspective

    Tegridy replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The worst part is how much authority NPs have with so little training. I won’t be specific but essentially I had a patient recently where a new cardio NP (who apparently had some RN cardio...

  16. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

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

    Nursing leadership in general is one of the reasons I left nursing fairly quickly. Full of ambiguity, nepotism, and checkboxing that doesn’t really add much

  17. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

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

    Guess y’all won’t be hiring me then. Will just knock on the next hospital door down the

  19. Etomidate Vs. Propofol for Standard Inductions of GA

    Tegridy replied to stevesmithSRNA373's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    that would be a hard sell saying that the increased 30 day mortality is due to a one-time slap of

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

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

    Yep. Some of these non medical Jobs’s actually have very difficult exams. I think a lot of professions that do not directly have people’s lives on the line (plumbing, cosmetology . Etc) have...

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

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

    I still think it’s more about difficulty. Our NP Program had mandatory attendance but I can’t say it actually improved the quality. For lectures and stuff to memorize for tests as long as one can...

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

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

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

    I never understood the FNP role. The provider specialty should be as narrow as it can get but broad enough to manage the undifferentiated patient. Even family medicine doesn’t make sense. It’s...

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

    Ever think of making a business consulting docs on which NP to hire? If not might be a good idea. If so let me in on it I got loanz to

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

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

    someone mentioned what should be required for independent practice? Probably at least 2K hours and removal of FNP as a specialty. Separate out adults and peds. Make an ED only specialty. Differentiate...
