  2. Food in the ER

    JeanettePNP replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    After the abdo pain or n/v pt has been checked and hydrated, being able to hold down food is a condition for d/c. But yeah, no food for anyone else they bring

  4. RN Salary Survey 2013: Post here!

    JeanettePNP replied to ItsColduphere's topic in General Nursing

    That's about $5 million per year. So, say his salary was slashed by 90%. Would he have a hard time making ends meet on a mere $500k? Would the hospital

  5. Holding a grudge?

    JeanettePNP replied to AmeliasAunt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, I think your performance review should be tied to YOUR performance, not to what everyone else is doing. It's entirely possible to aim for excellence from ALL staff members and recognize them for...

  6. RN Salary Survey 2013: Post here!

    JeanettePNP replied to ItsColduphere's topic in General Nursing

  7. Keep textbooks after completing classes?

    JeanettePNP replied to MizzMo's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I sold some stuff that I later regretted, and bought it back online -- things like my patho textbook, and some of my old psychology texts. I find that I need to periodically refresh things that I...

  8. Holding a grudge?

    JeanettePNP replied to AmeliasAunt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We say that when we're talking about things that are out of anyone's control. It's not fair that a 16-year old kid gets cancer. It's not fair that someone lost all their possessions in a fire. It's...

  10. About NYU and Columbia's NP Programs?

    JeanettePNP replied to futurenurse628's topic in New York Nursing

    Columbia has a very good PNP program and experience is not required, but it can't hurt. The nnp program was suspended last year, but I'm not sure if its been reinstated. Try to keep your gpa as high...

  12. What if the federal government read allnurses?

    JeanettePNP replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    If the federal government wanted to go after you, they would scour your posts on AN and any other forum for any hint of any kind of wrongdoing. Best to stay away from venting, comiserating, and...

  13. RN Salary Survey 2013: Post here!

    JeanettePNP replied to ItsColduphere's topic in General Nursing

    So, from what I see on this thread, CA nurses are really raking it in, and cost of living is not necessarily higher than other parts of the country with lower nursing wages. Maybe we should all move...

    JeanettePNP replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Nursing

    My dream job was to be a PICU nurse, but I was ready to accept any acute care RN job that would bring me closer to this goal. I did everything I could do to make myself an attractive candidate. I...

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Up to this point I haven't been paying much attention to the reimbursement side of things, but I realize that to support my own professional development I need to become more aware of things like what...

  18. Full Time vs Travel the world?

    JeanettePNP replied to MurseEgen's topic in Nursing Career

    What the previous poster said. You have plenty of time ahead of you to travel and explore the world. (FTR my grandparents started toruing the world in their 70s and I think they hit all 7 continents.)...

  20. One in a million

  23. Bringing new patients into your practice

  24. Bringing new patients into your practice

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks everyone. Good tips here! I think a flyer announcing that the practice is expanding is the way to go. Trauma -- we're a peds specialty practice (asthma/pulmonology). The demand is definitely...

    JeanettePNP replied to iudiva's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    well... it's an interview. It's not a job offer. I hear your reservations but it's still worth it to go to the interview and see what comes of it. If nothing else you'll get some valuable interview...
