   Been in ICU bedside for almost 7 years, never thought I’d see the day I say that. May not be a lot compared to others but for my young of 27, it feels like forever! I start AGACNP school this fall. I don’t start clinical until Summer 2021. The thi...

3. PA vs. ACNP

   Bump LOL.

4. Nurse to Physician

   QuestionableTimes replied to QuestionableTimes's topic in NP Students

   That is my biggest fear. I’m all for treating the patient as opposed to the disease, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t learn the disease in depth and understand the correlations between the pathophysiology, the symptoms, the treatments, and so forth...

   QuestionableTimes replied to Snowchild's topic in General Nursing

   Time to take some time for yourself. Take unemployment if you can. Use that cushion if you have. If you MUST work then do part time if you can manage it. Take care of you right now. Allow yourself to grieve the passing of you father. I am terribly...

9. What’s with “researching” patients before clocking in?! Is this a standard?

   QuestionableTimes replied to NurseOrBust13's topic in General Nursing

   How has she survived nursing becoming anxious when things don’t go as planned? Thats like all of healthcare? Even outpatient. Like, things happen. In fact, this is the world in general. I’m guessing she’s just learned to cope.

10. How would you improve the nursing profession? (beyond better staffing, higher pay, etc)

    QuestionableTimes replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    We should also try to reduce all the psychosocial jargon and APA paper pumping done in nursing curriculum. Seriously. Just stop! I know the nursing profession wants to DESPERATELY be taken seriously but making students pump out papers about holistic ...

    Just FYI ophthalmology is a medical specialty... I don’t think it’s a doctor of ophthalmology, but a doctor of medicine that is board certified in ophthalmology.

12. Nurse to Physician

    QuestionableTimes posted a topic in NP Students

    Has anyone here made the transition from RN or NP to MD/DO? I’m sure this topic has been touched on before, and I do realize that this is a NURSING site but I would like everyone to remain a level of honest objectivity. I’m 27 going on 28. I’m a R...
