Hello Everyone, I am a new grad and have interviewed with a Dialysis outpatient center. I am concerned about the liability issues in Dialysis. The facility where I interviewed allow PCT's to place patients on and off the machines, perform assessments...

Hello All, I am looking to become a NP. Are NP schools ranked. I live in MA but would be willing to relocate to any state to become an NP. My goal is to just get into a program.Is there a list that ranks NP schools? What school would be the easiest t...

I live in MA and would love to move to Virgina. I hear amazing things about this state. I would like to live by the water and Norfolk and Virgina Beach were suggested to me. I have never been to Virgina, have no family or friends there but would love...

My goal is to become a NP. I will graduate with my ADN in May with a grade point average of 3.3/3.4. However my undergradate GPA where I recieved my BA in Biology is a 2.6. I am going to give myself at least 6 months to study for GRE's because I kno...

Thank you for all the positive advice.

Psychaprn, An NP is a NURSE and has nursing experience. Please don't exclude an NP from having "nursing experience." I was saying it does not make sense for me to get my BSN when I will have an RN and a Bachelor's degree if NP programs accept this a...

Thanks for all the advice. I have my Bachelor's in biology and will have my RN so I really did not want to pay for a BSN because some NP schools will admit you with your RN with a Bachelor's in something else. However, if it makes me more competitive...

Okay Guys, that time of year has come again. What are your new year's resolution and did you keep your resolution from last year? I'll start: To spend more time with friends and family

I believe this topic is state dependent. From the research, I found that you do not have the duty to act buy the duty to report (ie. calling the police). As a nurse, I would be very leary to render services if i drove by and saw a car accident. I sa...

Thank you so much for you guys... I think I get it and then I realize I don't. However, I am much further along than I was and I feel like I have a good grasp on it. Thanks for everyone's help.

Let's say during your shift you find that the wrong IV bag was hanged 3/4 hours into your shift. It is potassium the IV fluid ordered was NS. You are at fault for missing it during your inital assessment and the previous nurse was at fault for hangin...

Thank you guys! I never had this happen before and I wasn't sure what I did was right. I did not place blame or name individuals in the chart, did an incident report, called md- which ordered labs, I just did'nt know if there was more i should do.

Hello All, I am currently a student at a local community college in spfld ma obtaining my ADN in 2007. I have a BA in Biology. I have a strong desire, no passion, to become a NP. I am terrifed about not being accepted into a school. My concern is tha...

Sorry for the confusion. Thank you for the encouragement.

That was a misunderstanding. I was saying it in the fact that even more than desire, I have a passion. I have desire but more than that passion. I used the word desire first then decided that I have more than desire, I have passion. I was trying to c...
