  1. As a Nurse, is it normal to be pushed around doing different jobs at the place you work?

    Guest1144461 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    We live literally wipe butt, but folding laundry is beneath us? Cmon.... Adapt and overcome. Being versatile and flexible is admired and will serve this person well in life. This is not necessarily...

  2. Graduating With A DNP Without Prior Nursing Experience. Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Guest1144461 replied to scribe1290's topic in General Students

    Possible, yes. Bad idea for 95% of candidates though. It's setting you up to fail. I have worked with direct entry students and many didn't have a clue. It was actually kind of scary. I was an...

  3. Future NP

    Guest1144461 replied to Stardustknight's topic in General Nursing

    Its a long story, but I was a nurse for around 5-6 years before I considered NP school. Focus on your 25 meter target for now which is RN

  4. Future NP

    Guest1144461 replied to Stardustknight's topic in General Nursing

    You answered your own question, it also seems that you do not know what you want to do. Experience in healthcare as a RN will shape that. There are exceptions I can see for people going straight to NP...

  5. Future NP

    Guest1144461 replied to Stardustknight's topic in General Nursing

    Based on your response and question, I HIGHLY recommend you work a few years as a RN before considering NP

  6. Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania

    Guest1144461 replied to Malvo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Karen steals all the coffee and donuts from the break room in the morning. C'mon this is ridiculously specific. The chance a neuro ICU ACNP from HUP is browsing here is next to

  7. Future NP

    Guest1144461 replied to Stardustknight's topic in General Nursing

    Wearing a white coat should be the last thing on your mind when it comes to being a NP. For what its worth, I don't wear one. I don't want to single you out, but this type of question is a succinct...

  8. Does Hospital Leadership and Policy Promote Working When Sick?

    Guest1144461 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    From working as a RN and now as a NP, the discrepancy between the two professions regarding sick calls is huge. RNs have a laughably low threshold for calling out, I remember most of the times nurses...

  9. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Guest1144461 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Loaded question, but I think patronizing or offering up every excuse in the book is not the answer. In general this breeds a milieu which lacks accountability and does not enable to black community to...

  10. Doctor Denies Giving Lortab Order, Nurse Facing Discipline

    Guest1144461 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Inconsistent story, but as the provider I would usually do the nurse a solid and back them up on this. 1 Hydrocodone isn't going to rustle my jimmies. This protocol is is rife for issues

  11. Prescription "cookbooks?"

    Guest1144461 replied to NurseKnope's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Epocrates for me. I usually use it for dosing instructions (renal

  12. As an NP student, how many clinical rotation hours do you do weekly?

    Guest1144461 replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did a year long 4000 hour MD-supervised/structured fellowship immediately post-grad. Try again. I can walk the walk to get better, can

  13. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    Guest1144461 replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Huh, have you ever studied with a hard lined opinionated professor in academia? You could quote whatever the hell you want and it won't matter. Peer reviewed means nothing if the commentary doesn't...

  14. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Guest1144461 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of reasons for crimes. I am sure socioeconomic reasons drive some, but I am also pretty sure socioeconomic reasons do not drive purely someone to rape and murder. I take a SPLC opinion article...

  15. FNP MSN vs DNP school help

    Guest1144461 replied to stephadler82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Besides having to do a dissertation, it's literally the same ol same ol advanced nursing

  16. Should I pay for clinical hours for an NP preceptor, and if so, how much is too much to pay?

    Guest1144461 replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Even the big-name schools do this; it's sad. I would like to see the data on what % of programs actually provide preceptors. It has to be below

  17. Vanity Plates?

    Guest1144461 replied to mrcleanscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't decided if the hats are worse than plates LOL. For WW2 and Korean War vets I make an exception, they can do whatever they

  18. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Guest1144461 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Literally WHY I framed the question that way (which was as a reply to the poster asking loaded questions), to conjure an image which is what people do in these situations. One can frame the person as...

  19. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Guest1144461 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing you posted as anything to do with topic at hand in any context. Appeals to emotions and strawmans will not detract from the facts even if they make you uncomfortable. The fact in 2020 you can...

  20. Attending MD complained to my supervisors about me...am I a bad nurse?

    Guest1144461 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Yup this, when I return a page and ask the nurse what is seeing or thinking and they respond without an answer or just defer to me I feel like they are devaluing nursing. I am obviously valuing their...

  21. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    Guest1144461 replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Didn't read the rest of the commentary but this is literally modern day "higher "education. I have advanced education in the humanities and its no different. You need to tow the party line to do well....

  22. Attending MD complained to my supervisors about me...am I a bad nurse?

    Guest1144461 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I'd brush it off. I get annoyed with too many pages but it sounds like she was bit unclear and you are new. All MDs are different personality wise, kinda like anyone really. Take the criticism with a...

  23. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Guest1144461 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yes, yes retreat to the echo chamber or bat cave. Whatever you want to call it. "There’s pretty good evidence that we generally don’t truly want good information—but rather information that...

  24. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Guest1144461 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Closing your eyes and plugging your ears when hearing inconvenient data does not change the fact that it exists. Sorry about that. Not everyone is lemming who can be emotionally railroaded to bend the...

  25. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Guest1144461 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Sooo you don't have a source or answer. Pretty sure the crimes of physical assault with a deadly WEAPON, MURDER and RAPE are going to command a police presence wherever. Instead of just parroting...
