  1. I was in the same situation when I completed my MSN in education- I was working 07-1530 M-F plus taking a lot of call. I made the decision that the best way for me to proceed would be to utilize my...

    Recipe Swap

    What's your favorite recipe? I recently discovered the joys of pressure cooking and would love to see some more pressure cooker specific recipes, but still wanna see your faves regardless of cooking...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    One of the first questions patients are asked in admitting (not emergent situations obviously) is their preferred name. This then is displayed both in the patient info header in the EMR and printed on...

    Too Large for OR Scrubs??

    First, find out if observing a c section is a requirement. If it is, you may not have an option. For the scrubs, find out if larger sizes are stocked in the men’s locker room. For one of the...

    Should I go to endoscopy?

    I would go into the interview with an open mind, and ask any questions you have before making a decision. Sometimes, going in with a preconceived idea can interfere with objectivity. Think about the...

    New Charge Nurse

    Don’t be afraid to make surgeons talk to each other. I need extra fingers and toes to count the times I had one surgeon insisting he not wait his turn in line to start an after hours case. I took...

    Was my unsatisfactory in clinical unfair?

    Instructors do not do it for the money. Academic pay is far less than pay anywhere else in nursing. Calculating it out by hours spent in the classroom, in clinical, grading, and everything else, it...

    Explain Medical Asepsis Vs Surgical Asepsis

    Literally the first Google result is from Wikipedia and has a sentence that pretty much sums it up right in the preview. Reduction vs complete elimination of
  12. Truly, the only way to fix this is to add staff, get ratios, and get ancillary staff. Just like Jedrnurse said, it's like trying to get something without doing the required

    Employer Paying for School?

    Specific to CRNA school, my facility is outside the norm. They will provide a stipend during clinicals so that you have money for expenses without having to work, pay 100% of tuition, and we even have...

    Documenting an in/out implant

    If it's the current surgery and the patient doesn't leave the OR with it in place, we document it as wasted. There's a comment box we can use for why (trial pin, incorrect size, etc.) If it's from a...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    OP visited the site 2 hours ago, but hasn't responded to this thread since 2/5. I'm guessing we won't get follow up, most likely because OP wasn't told what she wanted to hear, here or by the

    Least Physically demanding?

    Many of those positions require experience to go along with it, and teaching usually requires an MSN at a minimum. OP, have you visited the disability forum? You may find some helpful information...

    Trapezium bar.

    It’s not the questions from students, it’s the lack of effort they put in. Some come and verbatim copy and paste the question then sit back and expect the work to be done for them. However, this...

    Would this be considered abandonment?

    I was not responding to the OP specifically, but to the question of who says to report. And while some may choose to resign rather than be terminated, there is at least one state that does indeed...

  23. You need to complete a masters or doctorate in nursing with a focus in PMHNP to become a psych NP. A masters in psychology does not meet the criteria for an advanced practice nursing role. Some...
  24. Folks, be sure you read the terms of use with any review program you buy and what you're allowed to do with it. I've seen several posts lately with members offering their purchased programs for...
  25. I find it to be more generational than location. The new surgeons coming in? First name (still Dr. Z with patients). The surgeon who's been operating for 40 years? Dr. X would probably have a coronary...
