  1. NPs working with chiropractors

    mystcnurse posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am wondering if there are any NPs who are working with chiropractors - and what your experiences have been like. Do you feel that you are respected? Do you get the training that you need? What...

  2. A New Consideration for Vaccine Mandates?

    mystcnurse replied to Cclm's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Hypocrisy? No.....

  3. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    mystcnurse replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Open VAERS takes the data from VAERS and makes it understandable to people who can't do the research themselves. They are saying that you can extract the same data, yourself, if you want to take the...

  4. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    mystcnurse replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't have a bias. Just curiosity. You don't find it at all strange? That is a pretty big jump from where I stand? You don't think so? Do YOU have a

  6. Witchcraft Resurgence

    mystcnurse replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Steroid use can increase fungal infections, as well as bacterial and viral infections, and yet they are given for EVERYTHING including bacterial and viral infections. Ciprofloxacin is not a go to for...

  7. Nurse Sick and FIRED: Exploring Nursing Absenteeism

    mystcnurse replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I have not been sick once, in the past five years, since I started taking Vitamin D3, 5000 units daily. Prior, I definitely was a practitioner of presentism. Now, I take wellness

  8. Getting yelled at by a doctor for the first time....

    mystcnurse replied to NewbieNurse93's topic in General Nursing

    Not to mention, keeping this patient another night could constitute WASTE - as in "Fraud, waste and abuse". Unfortunately, it is a nurse's job to advocate for not only the patient, but also the...

  9. Telemedicine for NPs-DME?

    mystcnurse replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I doubt it. You can look up the law/policy on the CMS website. For a while, an MD had to sign that they witnessed the NP or a PA, but now, it just has to be the NP or PA OR an MD/DO. If I were you, I...

  10. Telemedicine for NPs-DME?

    mystcnurse replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A provider is required to have a face to face encounter with a patient when prescribing DME. There is a LOT of money in DME and it is probably the most common area for fraud to occur. NPs are likely...

  11. Should I report the person who scheduled me to a patient I should not have been sitting?

    mystcnurse replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Nurses are expected to have very good, if not excellent critical thinking abilities. This means that they can think ahead, and in the abstract. The OP is a patient care attendant, and possibly a very...

  12. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    3000 to 49,000. Seems very scientific to me!

  13. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    There ARE no epidemiological reports. There is plenty of evidence that there is no real evidence. Look for yourself. Estimates are as useful as anecdotal evidence. The bottom line is: the...

  14. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    The numbers of deaths from flu and hospitalizations from flu and "flu related illnesses" are all, basically anecdotal as well. There is as much lack of science in the influenza vaccine research,...

  15. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    mystcnurse replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, assessment is not within the scope of an LPN practice, except in collaboration with a registered nurse or physician, although I will admit, LPNs are often put in a position to assess. LPNs...

  16. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    mystcnurse replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hate the term "passing meds" that is often used by nurses, and in my experience, very often by LPNs and their instructors. Medications are not "passed", at least not by registered nurse , they are...

  17. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    mystcnurse replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I have a feeling she went to a proprietary school, probably online. Not all are bad, and not all are outrageous. But that is outrageous, if she borrowed that money for tuition and supplies. These...

  18. Being called an idiot

    mystcnurse replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  19. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    You are so freaking

  20. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    I would love to see you prove that it can keep others safe. And of course, I am not "self diagnosing". You might need to take a research course. And yes, my father had the original "swine flu"...

  21. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    I am not unemployed, and I don't get the shot. There are plenty of "major citations" in the Medscape Article: [h=1]Flu Vaccine for All: A Critical Look at the Evidence[/h] by Eric A. Biondi, MD,...

  22. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    I love how people try and "guilt" others into getting this vaccine EVERY YEAR, with absolutely NO REAL EVIDENCE of its value, efficacy or safety. And if you have ever had a serious reaction, or...

  23. How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    mystcnurse replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    Just a thought: A good nurse will listen to a patient's plights, even if they are very different from their own. Drugs and alcohol: big problem for many, familial often, concurrent mental health...

  24. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    mystcnurse replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    I could be wrong, but I don't think you are supposed to IV push Pantoprazole. It is irritating to the veins... I suppose it depends on the dosage, but I have always seen it mixed in a bag of saline....

  25. One Liner to Diffuse Escalating Situation With Patient

    mystcnurse replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Jadelpn, excellent responses. IM or IV Ketorolac can work wonders, as long as you can assure that the patient can tolerate it with regards to renal function. I am very careful using NSAIDs, as the OTC...
