  1. Stuck in an NP Speciality Role

    Tegridy replied to psych.nurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think psych has better job opportunities if that is the area you want to stay in. Post masters in psych possibly? If no interest in the above just apply for NP jobs that are in the specialty...

  2. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

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

    You get better at doing the thing you do by doing more of the the thing you do. Medicine makes me no better a nurse than the other way around. Does nursing experience hurt? Likely not. But does it...

  3. Health Misinformation: The Online Pandemic of Information That Can Kill

    Tegridy replied to Anne Grello's topic in General Nursing

    Once something gets politicized almost no amount of science can bring it down. Hard to beat emotions with

  4. Can Managers Override Policy and Drs Orders?!?

    Tegridy replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    Somehow I doubt what was said in the OP post is what happened or what the manager meant in real life. Most hospitals have a protocol anyway that we all follow and we have to have a good reason...

  5. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

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

    More RN experience doesn't help, if anything it perpetuates bad habits and nurse lore into practicing

  6. Acute Care NPs - To do a residency or not?

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

    I don’t think any of the ones here have done a fellowship here. But I have not fact checked that statement. I don’t think there is a fellowship anywhere near where I am which may be why. Assuming...

  7. Acute Care NPs - To do a residency or not?

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

    I think most of the good ones go into specialities in my area or work in the ICU. Can’t blame them less social stuff to deal

  8. Low NP Salary for VA

    Tegridy replied to NP_12345's topic in Advanced Practice

    In raw dollars the VA pays most people less. For physicians it can be >100k less. But the benefits are often better and workload often

  9. Acute Care NPs - To do a residency or not?

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

    The only thing bedside nursing helped with is if some random clueless nurse starts a rant about how they think something we are doing is nonsense since then I can pull the I was a nurse card and you...

  10. Case management stress

    Tegridy replied to cawkazn's topic in Case Management

    I don't know how you all do case management its got to be one of the hardest yet most important jobs in the

  11. Nurses Combating the Health Risks of Working Nights

    Tegridy replied to Lindsay Montford's topic in General Nursing

    The above is true. if we sit there and think about how bad it is it just causes anxiety. I used to work nights and a nurse and then an NP. it wasn't too bad. Working nights isn't really an excuse to...

  12. New Grad in Urgent Care

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

    Minor emergencies attack of the

  13. Wilkes University - BEWARE!

    Tegridy replied to jennifer2021's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So do they just collect government dollars basically

  14. My First Code Blue! Still Trying To Process It

    Tegridy replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    I think mine was a dialysis patient too, but this was like 11 years ago. I think the last five I've had were all dialysis patients. Seems to come with the

  15. How to Titrate Levophed?

    Tegridy replied to pi.student's topic in MICU, SICU

    As stated before everyone responds differently. We don't really know how much a med will effect a patient. I wouldn't really fret too much about keep a specific MAP as long as its above the set bottom...

  16. Fired From First NP Job: Struggling Emotionally

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

    Sounds like a crap hole with not great people working there. Be glad you are done with that

  17. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    That makes sense. It all sort of converges on the issue of not getting people trained for his or her specific job early on. It seems pointless to not do specialist type training early on. As long as...

  18. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Yeah we have to do fellowships. move probably forgotten most peds and OB things. At least I hope

  19. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    Def more useful in narrow specialties, general medicine is a lot to know and guidelines change too quickly. It's even a lot to know for a physician and too hard to keep up with everything. Honestly...

  20. Feeling Lost As An NP

    Tegridy replied to plantmom4lyfe's topic in Advanced Practice

    LOL yeah most forums are mostly drunk rants. We mostly all actually get a long at work. Honestly much of the dissent seems to come from FMG doctors, which some are great but honestly I am more...

  21. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    I don't think any of them want his or her license on the line, but medicine in general has a lot of grunt work. It seems appropriate to delegate at least some of it. Whether or not it's appropriate is...

  22. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

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

    I don't think most nursing professionals can tell half the time if a provider is good or not. They usually judge adequacy based on the way they talk to patients and staff, which really doesn't mean he...

  23. Struggling no experience NP need guidance

    Tegridy replied to KRNNP1123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yeah usually navigators are just glorified organ specific triage people. at least the roles I have heard of. but we don't rly have all the info on what this job entails so who

  24. Acute Care NPs - To do a residency or not?

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

    Must be nice to have optional

  25. Struggling no experience NP need guidance

    Tegridy replied to KRNNP1123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Two years off is a lot. Most medical residencies won’t take someone with a two year gap. Skill atrophy. I’m not sure what the role of a spine navigator is. It sounds fairly novel, niche, and like...
