  1. Urgent care training for new grad.. is there one ?

    Myruby replied to LordFarquad's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worked at an IM/UC setting before going U/C. It would be difficult to learn to suture, remove a toenail, abcsess, splint on your own. There are workshops that are very helpful. I asked that every...

    Myruby replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worked as a Sub-Investigator for 7 years. I didn't really work for one pharmaceutical company, but for the Research Center, and we did studies for many pharmaceutical companies. I was burned out...

  3. Medical Emergencies in Public

    Myruby replied to nurse4321's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've helped three times. The first was post seizure and the crowd was trying to get him to sit up and drink water. (Why do they always do this) I told them to stop and put him in the recovery...

  5. Backsliding in new specialty

    Myruby replied to AngelRay's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, sometimes THEY can be wrong. Why didn't they help you with specific "faults" I was told in my first year as an RN at a teaching hospital by my preceptor that "I would have a difficult time"...

  6. Misdemeanor battery from when I was 18?

    Myruby replied to Ruby Borroto's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I do not know about clinicals and jobs in your case but I will tell you about mine. When I was 19 I was stopped for hitchhiking and they found 2 pills. Now, it sounds like a story, but it really...

  7. New Grad Medsurg to ER?

    Myruby replied to DreamChas's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think your choice to finish the year is excellent, and good work! I started in MedSurg, and it gave me such an excellent background. I think learning a new job is difficult on a PRN basis. I...

  8. Impersonating a nurse

    Myruby replied to Elleveein's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  10. Nurse Abuse While on Assignment

    Myruby replied to K2K's topic in Travel

  11. How do you remain polite and professional with people who don't believe in the Covid vaccine who come to your clinic wanting treatment?

    Myruby posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I see mostly unvaccinated individuals who come to our monoclonal antibody clinic after becoming covid +, with symptoms. Some of these I send away straight to the ER, others we treat. Many tell me that...

  13. They should be force to retire

    Myruby replied to apnurserock's topic in Retired Nurses

    Hi there, I don't think that either of us can generalize our personal experiences to everyone. I do enjoy my work and hope that you found that retirement was the right decision for you. The world is...

  14. They should be force to retire

    Myruby replied to apnurserock's topic in Retired Nurses

    Please don't call me a crusty old bat. I have been an RN for 46 years and an NP for 27. The last 8 years I have done Locum Tenens. I am 70. There is no difference in my performance and those younger...

  15. Lost and Anxious

    Myruby replied to Kayleigh272's topic in Nursing Career

    I've heard this a lot from new grads, in fact I work with one who is one of the best nurses that I've ever worked with. She recently left a job where the charge nurse said she was "too slow" when she...

    Myruby replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

  17. Are You Working Past Retirement Age?

    Myruby replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently 70 and collect both a paycheck and social security, and no, it doesn't affect my SS. It was easy for me as I've worked locum tenens the past seven years. I work when I want and don't...

  18. What can I do with my MSN-FNP that doesn't require much patient contact

    Myruby replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worked many jobs that required following patients until I decided that I really didn't want to follow a patient's chronic problems anymore. Some options are Student Health, Occupational Health,...

  19. Did you feel ready to practice upon graduation?

    Myruby replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a FNP. I was afraid. My first job was at a men's homeless clinic, pretty basic stuff, then, terrified me, decided that I would specialize so there was less to focus on so I did Infertility. I...

  20. Scary Paranoid Thought

    Myruby replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    DEAs are not available online to my knowledge, at least never in the states that I have worked

  21. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Myruby replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wanted to add that with current inflation, my pay rate usually starts at $80/ hour, in addition, a free new car is included in the assignment, and I get many offers a week, so I'm pretty happy. The...

  22. Am I too old to become a nurse?

    Myruby replied to TbistheMc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on your health and the job that you want. I am 70 and a locum's NP. I would never go back to floor nursing as an RN. I do work 2 12hour shifts and one 6 hour and the 12s back-to-back do take...

  23. A Little Rant And Some Failures

    Myruby replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not an ICU NP, but I find myself much, much, shorter with patients. I glare at people in the supermarket who wear their masks below their noses, just want to be alone a lot after shifts. I have...

  24. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Myruby replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I currently make $90/hour running a monoclonal antibody clinic in the Northeast. I was a floor nurse/telemetry/stepdown at major hospitals there for 11 years and hated every minute of it. As an NP I...
