The rule someone taught me was always wait till the patient starts eating to administer short acting because what if they decide not to eat? For every unit of SA insulin it can drop BS by 30pts. So 30x6 is 180. However, when pt is eating their BS can...

I would think blood clot because of potential for PE

I guess I just need advice. I am lost. A little background: I have a year and few months experience in nursing. This is my second career. I use to be a scientist. Decide I had a passion for nursing and went back to school. I completed an ABSN- fished...

That's great. That was not my experience. I think because many of our patients in inpatient child and adolescent psych were very traumatized, had multiple behavioral issues and were in various states of foster care/conservatorship, it really highligh...

The memory care/ dementia patients do hit during sundown. Luckily, many of them (not all) are very slow and not strong. There will be an occassional elderly lady with strong fingers for pinching and jaws for bitting. What I have found to be the most ...

I know this comment is late to the game, but as on Oct 05 2020 NP can practice independently by January 2023 in California

This is capitalism. The big hospitals that legit take in 100s of millions to billions of dollars a year will not budge for nurse Sally to make an extra 2.25 an hour. Strikes will happen, and they are better than socialized medicine.

white is def the worst. I think pink looks silly

I am interested in this program. And would like to hear people's experiences with state licensure and securing a position.

So I have an interesting predicament I am hoping someone can provide some insight on. I have been a nurse for about a year. Prior to nursing I had a first career as a researcher and a scientist. I have a phd in psychology and was a professor/research...

My most recent job I worked often with two providers: An MD and an FNP. They were equally knowledgable, equally experienced, and honestly I could not tell them apart aside from the fact that the NP was slightly older than the MD. Finish NP school and...

I didn't end up getting the position, and it is currently vacant. Who knows what that was about? I agree. Super weird.

I am a relatively new nurse. A little over a year of experience at this point. I am one of those people that needs direction/ needs to work towards a goal. That being said I think I want to become an NP. Not necessarily today or tomorrow, but I would...

you need to talk to a patent attorney

Hi, I am currently working in outpatient and for many reasons, it is not a good fit. I have recently had the chance to interview at an inpatient psych facility. I am a relatively new nurse. I received my license last November. My interview for this n...

I hated a lot about nursing school. I hated putting on the fake smile for the teachers, pretending to care about stuff that I was obviously never going to need to know, getting along with some of the idiots in my class that were super bigoted and mys...

I feel the opposite. I love bedside nursing. I hate administrative work. I am in outpatient right now and I am bored senseless.

I am thinking about NP school. Specifically, PMHNP. I have been a nurse for a year- I've worked in long term care (rehab and memory care) and am currently working in outpatient pediatrics. I am currently not crazy about my job- it's okay, no major is...

I think they have an extremely valid case. Also 180k for nursing education is ridiculous. We want to encourage people to go into nursing, not dissuade them.

I have posted about this before. I don't want to come across as the newish nurse that complains constantly about their job, but I guess I need advice/ need to vent/ feel as if I am at a cross roads at my company. I work for a relatively large non-pro...

I am an RN. My job right now is that I am training so that I can work in multiple departments. My preceptor is not my boss, just someone who is training me. He is the head nurse in one of the departments and only one of three nurses in the department...

So I have been a nurse for a whole 8 months. I know this makes me a newbie to the field. Before I was a nurse, I was a researcher and professor. I got my PhD in biology and taught at various universities for 5 years before I ultimately decided I was ...

Hi! I applied for a California nursing license on April 1 (got my finger prints done and mailed around April 15). All documents etc are in. I am currently waiting. I hold an unencumbered license in Vermont. I'm moving to California in July. I have he...

This is suppose to be a regular, full time job... 40 hrs a week.
