    Yeah the lecture part is fine online but still had a lot of labs. I never went to class unless it was a lab. Still have to pass all the tests. Whether or not lectures are in person doesn’t matter....

    Tegridy replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    Those are good points. Some consults are hospital protocol. They make us consult neuro at some point during stay to tell us to use dapt for 21 days and start a statin. Something to do with stroke...

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

    Its funny how those who have not done are the most eager to say other people's jobs are easy and don't require some level of expertise. Does not make sense how people who do a 160 hour rotation in,...

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

    IDK it is a bit odd that some in nursing think 500 is enough hours but those “green first year residents” can’t do anything right according to the nursing mantra, even though they have well over...

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

    I mean even in med school it’s a brief overview of the sciences compared to for say specialized PhD programs. I would say a PhD in for say biochem would equate to knowing the inner workings of a...

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

    Varies a lot as above some hospitals admit inpatient hospice under palliative/hospice and some say on hospitalist census but are listed as inpatient hospice. I honestly don’t know why hospital...

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

    Sorry LOL. In general for profit wouldn’t be as bad if free government money wasn’t tossed everywhere. May be better to let places charge what they want based on future job income. Go to...

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

    Balance is an innate ability that only requires a bit of honing to be able to perform. The practice of medicine is not, nor are most careers based on the sciences. By this logic why not...

    Tegridy replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    Diagnosing specific dementias during an acute illness. Great idea ? part of it is when the spouse with dementia his/herself wants a workup for dementia inpatient. Just have to have the...

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

    The way critical thinking is thrown around on this forum makes it sound as those who possess it can logically reason through processes they have no understanding of. Skills in one area are poorly...

    Tegridy replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    Somewhere in the middle is probably the right place. The worst I see are usually consults for outpatient problems.

  22. Talk To Me About Being An Inpatient NP

    Tegridy replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    Hospitals get paid by diagnosis code though. For inpatient problems it costs more to bring in more consultants. At least for the hospital, Unless said consultant is needed for a procedure or may...

    Tegridy replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

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