  3. Question re: NP and clinical experiences...

    ERNurse752 replied to mskate's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in a brick and mortar program. Our clinicals are arranged for us. The preceptors are not faculty, but are approved by faculty. I believe we can also find our own if we have something specific in...

  4. I am feeling like an idiot. Please explain this to me

    ERNurse752 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    A serum level > 150 ug/ml at 4 hours post ingestion is toxic - don't forget that the time the blood was drawn is everything in determining toxicity. A serum level of 10 ug/ml could be toxic,...

  15. Risk of infection

    ERNurse752 replied to K os's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd choose MRSA since there's a vaccine for Hep B and a way to verify immunity to it. Plus you'd typically get it from a needlestick or bood exposure, and you can get MRSA from

    ERNurse752 replied to luvs2readlotsRN's topic in General Nursing

  19. Any INFP nurses out there?

    ERNurse752 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  20. Any INFP nurses out there?

    ERNurse752 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
