    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Again please give me proof and not just opinion. Also, here at allnurses we like to avoid stooping to the level of name calling. So please gain some

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I have asked several times for proof about statements. I have almost no replies to my comments. I give up. We are supposed to bow down because they said so while any and every study we show is...

    They were designed to be physician extenders? Where is that statement of fact written? Just

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Where did I say she did colonoscopies? I didn't. Ever. So I'm not sure what your point is or what is funny. When they need a test...there is a doctor who can do it. No

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    So you support true collaboration...that's fine. I think we should all collaborate. An MD shouldn't hesitate to collaborate with another MD or even an NP and an NP should be willing to do the same....

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    That broad education is an issue though. You have family practice physicians thinking they can treat a mom with gestation diabetes...and I've seen them not know when to let go. Every single mom who...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. I'm a have. I see many NPs. My mom has a pediatrician who follows her whenever she changes jobs. I would out the ped in the haves as well. If it hasn't already happened...why would it...

    Failure is an Option: A New Grad Story

    IrishIzCPNP replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    Oh so I'm not allowed to make sure the person questioning me understood? You are the police now? Major issue...sorry you can't see it that

    any recommendations on a good stethoscope?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Nursebetty2007's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I actually prefer an ultrascope. I recent bought an mdf and I'm impressed with that as well. Littmann...I think they are

    Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    How is a PICC line respiratory? It is that simple for me. Will they start IVs? Why not? How about because it isn't their field. So....reps doing lines doesn't make sense to me at

    Failure is an Option: A New Grad Story

    IrishIzCPNP replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    We know that the OP stated "no injury". So if after the fact it can't be seen there was an injury that is concerning. I'm okay with a nurse who makes a mistake, admits it and fixes the cause or...

    Failure is an Option: A New Grad Story

    IrishIzCPNP replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    The OP stated neither mom nor baby injured. Wrong. Not recognizing that they were injured/harmed is an issue. If the OP wants I come along and act like something was learned...it is important to...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    So those arguing independence shouldn't happen...can you show a study or something factual that proves bad outcomes? The nurses here have provided studies showing positive outcomes and all we get...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    Ah not a nurse...when you are a nurse you will understand the importance of recognizing harm

    Failure is an Option: A New Grad Story

    IrishIzCPNP replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    You missed the point. The OP stated there was no harm from the mistake. That statement is wrong. There was harm. I was pointing out that the OP needs to see that there was harm...causing major...

    Failure is an Option: A New Grad Story

    IrishIzCPNP replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    Great story but I have one issue... You said nobody was harmed when you hung the insulin. Wrong. Mom and baby were harmed. They had a significant drop in blood glucose and mom had a c-section because...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no I don't want to see how they did on a similar exam...same exam. Similar...not close enough for me actually. Also, is there data showing that passing the exam means excellent provider? Oh...

    Best Cell Phone for Practitioners

    IrishIzCPNP replied to lemur87's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How old is your actual phone? An original 4 will be slow. If you upgrade to a new iPhone you will see a huge difference. I'm partial to apple. I love my iPad mini, air, mini, iPhone. I love how...

    UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that you delivered something doesn't make you top of the ladder. Good lord. It's great you have a nice salary but it is just proof of how little society values nurses. You aren't saving...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Those who are concerned about full independence and autonomy...I'm guessing they aren't aware of what a typical "collaboration" looks

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I find it tacky to post quotes from one message board to another. Whatever...they are just upset that their jobs are being challenged after all the money they spent. I wonder how they feel...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    The attitude and behavior of some is enough to make me move my my providers to NPs. They may not want to see NPs...some of the comments there make me not want to see them. I'm not worried about...
