    Do I need to keep RN license active?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not where I am. NP is a license...the specific type would be the certification. There is an NP

    Prayer in the Workforce

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Schoolrat's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You aren't even a nurse. You have no clue. This was a very insulting comment. I know many nurses who aren't religious and are amazing. I know religious nurses who I would never let near me or my...

    Vaccinations/Immunizations/Flu

    IrishIzCPNP replied to 3**835Y's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As long as you have a true medical reason for not being able to receive the vaccines...you should be fine. If your reason is questionable...you will be

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    On the catholic note...the church actually addressed this issue and states that vaccination is okay. So in reality the aborted fetal tissue and religion doesn't work if you are catholic. You can say...

    PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    IrishIzCPNP replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Curious which state gives a PA more autonomy.... PAs would have no hope winning even if they fought...they are controlled by the docs. NPs...the docs try to control but don't have

    Laptops for online school

    IrishIzCPNP replied to OBigdog26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's going to be hard to inquire for many schools. Every student I know goes into the program's not knowing where clinicals would be. Some don't know where they are going until weeks before. So...

    Laptops for online school

    IrishIzCPNP replied to OBigdog26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And I was pointing out more specifically what I have seen with the variety of sites I've been at and the variety of EHRs. You spoke to one...so I felt it was reasonable to point out what I have...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This conversation isn't even a reasonable one because it is clear you either believe in vaccines for all or you went to a crappy nursing school and got a crap education. So it's insult after insult...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have taken statistics. Thanks for trying to attempt to insult. Didn't work. Levels are still low...yes we are having an outbreak and the likely cause already discussed. It's still a relatively...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My children are vaccinated...just to clear the air. That being said...I do believe that nobody owes anyone anything. I think each individual family can be selfish...it is their family first and I'm...

    Laptops for online school

    IrishIzCPNP replied to OBigdog26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've never been expected to use my own computer for clinicals. So many are license based and installed on the machines...I can't imagine too many places wanting to spend the license fee or take the...

    PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    IrishIzCPNP replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm sure but not liking the NP curriculum because you are tired of nursing courses isn't always the best option when the PA curriculum is going to have crap courses too. But also keep in mind which...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And you are willing to accept any vaccine the government wants you to have? You are comfortable giving up your ability to make a choice? Whether I believe vaccines are the best choice or not...

    PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    IrishIzCPNP replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Which is nothing compared to the hours many NPs have! And while you may not be impressed by curriculum...doesn't mean a PA is more prepared or better educated. It's interesting when NPs are preferred...

    PA vs NP and Recommended Texts for the Latter

    IrishIzCPNP replied to ChronicSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's funny you feel the PA education is better. I know many who don't feel that way. I know an office that won't hire a PA because they have been unimpressed with their education and have given up on...

    Quit Nursing?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to tayabee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    But those orders allow for randomly picking an abx? Also, URI is usually viral so why would you have a standing order for that? Something is not good

    Quit Nursing?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to tayabee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So the DON, who is an RN, gave you a verbal order for an abx? Illegal. You acted on that order. Illegal. You might be best served by quitting and filing a report with the
