    How much do nurses make?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to firefly101's topic in General Nursing

    Around here they are making $65,000 and up. All teacher salaries were recently published here. There were a couple of newbies down near 50 but given the big picture...better than nurses. But don't...

    How much do nurses make?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to firefly101's topic in General Nursing

    PA suburb, BSN, certification, 5 years at same hospital....$23/hr. Yeah...not right. And to think our teachers complain about their $65,000+ for a job with all holidays and weekends off, vacation...

    Dizzy during circumcision

    A student got woozy and they aren't cut out for it? Seriously? It can take some people some time to adjust to these things....doesn't mean they aren't cut out for

    Future of nurse practitioners

    IrishIzCPNP replied to TheYouthOfMedicine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, NP programs are competitive. You might not get it. It's a risk...just like PA programs. Massive demand of RN? Where do you love because some people might want to move there. Here new grads...

    Future of nurse practitioners

    IrishIzCPNP replied to TheYouthOfMedicine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your uncle is an NP and owns his own practice? If you want to follow in his footsteps you don't want PA. I can't imagine a day will ever come when a PA has independent practice. You need to...

    Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And according to BFI...informed consent and move on. Nowhere does it say informed consent and harass. People can't blame BFI for poor hospital policies or behaviors. At the same time....having a...

    Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Baby friendly isn't about breast versus formula. It is about informed consent...so we know mom is making an educated decision. Informed consent works for everything else...works here too. Why can't...

    Online BSN.

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had NO clinical.Was it easy? Yes and no. There are some classes that are hard...quite rough but doable. There are some classes that really aren't too bad. The easy part is that they are...

    Online BSN.

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Baby during NP program

    IrishIzCPNP replied to ljrrRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just make sure you have details. An advisor can't change assignments given by an instructor. She can maybe help with spacing out classes...but she can't control a class. So if a class requires...

    Reporting Neglect in Home Health

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Sherriblu's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You can't just take a nap when you have a young child. No, the child can't just roam the house. A 2 year old needs supervision. So if mom wants to nap...she needs to make sure toddler is napping or...

    Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Tibbymc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have a love/hate relationship with it...but I think that's likely typical. There are some people who aren't very good at communicating and that's been an issue. Be prepared to be told you have to...

    I can tell you as a student there...the exam never happened for us. Now mine wasn't supposed to happen until later in the first year...but I heard it didn't happen because of "changes" being made and...

    How do you approach parents who refuse pediatric vaccines?

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

    Work with them? I can't imagine providers saying "you don't agree with me so we are done" on a large number of topics working out well. For example...woman in ICU right now who is intubated. She...
