1. NP Dilemma

   LauRN3367 replied to NPdilema's topic in Professionalism

   Hi NPDilema! Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Do you see yourself far, far away from medicine? Or per diem/part time in medicine? Many NPs I work with took pay cuts when they went from RN to NP because they had been RNs for many years and at th...

2. Boyfriend wants me to stay away

   LauRN3367 replied to LauRN3367's topic in COVID

   Well, everyone who has been following on this adventure, here are some updates: 1) I have officially blocked a handful of members who, despite being warned by Admin, have continued to ping-pong insults and bait me. Save the "that's not how a public f...

   I'm sorry- are you expecting me to respond to you as GrumpyRN, NP? I couldn't care less what anyone's title is- CNA, LPN, RN, BSN, MSN, NP, DNP, PA, MD, RT, DO.

4. Boyfriend wants me to stay away

   LauRN3367 replied to LauRN3367's topic in COVID

   Not “breaching social distancing”. Social distancing is staying 6 feet away from others. Which is what I said I would do. Again, if this is what you preach I hope you haven’t left your house. In addition, the US is doing far more testing than China. ...

   Hi kimandthekinks! Yeah, momma didn't raise me to just lay down and take it ? He loves that I am a nurse (now NP), he has always respected it so much, which is why now I am like well? this is part of the territory. I have talked to him and explaine...

7. Boyfriend wants me to stay away

   LauRN3367 replied to LauRN3367's topic in COVID

   Hi gcupid! Def no trust issue, I know he really does love me and I 100% trust him to tell me if something else was going on. I think that's where I am at now, my eyes are open and waiting for him to make a move to show support in another way if he d...

   LauRN3367 replied to LauRN3367's topic in COVID

   Thank you so much Wuzzie. This is exactly how I am feeling. What I would GIVE to even be under the same roof as one of my loved ones right now. Thank God I have great coworkers. Any ideas how to tell the bf he needs to step it up? Contrary to popula...

9. Help! Advanced patho is kicking my you know what!

   LauRN3367 replied to Gr8fulRN's topic in NP Students

   Hi Gr8fulRN! When I took advanced patho, I found that I did better when I wasn't memorizing, rather working through things. Make sense of the pathways, the body maintains homeostasis rather artistically and eventually makes sense! I implemented this ...

10. How do your patient care techs (CNAs) check pulse rate with vitals?

    LauRN3367 replied to Carrie2244's topic in CCU

    Our unit documents from tele monitors. Not only the situation you explained, but PACs or PVCs may not get conducted all the way down the arm into the finger, which leads to false low readings from a pulse ox! Best.

11. Pregnant new grad

    LauRN3367 replied to emilyrose114's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely let your new manager know about your pregnancy. CONGRATS! Though I did not do it, I think new grad to ICU is manageable. As a new grad, you are very malleable. It is all about your preceptors and how well they are able to teach, as...

12. I quit

    LauRN3367 replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    Luckily I fell into my niche. Would you consider an Urgent Care? They are also busy right now and looking for help. And I believe the hours are flexible as a RN! I have never worked in one but some friends did. Good luck and keep us posted.

    LauRN3367 replied to LauRN3367's topic in COVID

    Let me break it down, because this seems to be confusing to some... I drive to his house. I sit in my car. He stands 6 feet away. We talk. I leave. No touching. No CDC guideline against this. I do not live anywhere that there is currently a lockdown ...
