   New NP grad RN-NP

   Corey Narry replied to CitySoul's topic in NP

   "I've listed rotations from school clinicals, but what else can I do?" That's really all you can do. The advantage of pursuing a field that is closely aligned with your RN specialty is that you have an existing network of contacts and leads to w...

   New grad job dilemma

   Corey Narry replied to Sunnyking12's topic in NP

   What's the hospitalist position schedule? Agree that you may need an orientation period and some mentoring for this role as an FNP grad. Our hospital have now specifically been requiring only certifications with ACNP-BC or AGACNP-BC or ACNPC-AG for t...

   I worked briefly as an RN in an acute in-pt rehab unit and it was during the time I was also considering NP school. I was working at a very toxic Med-Surg unit in a hospital that was known for poor management and less than ideal employment practices....

   Documentation when a medication was missed

   Corey Narry replied to Elven_RN's topic in Medications

   I am old enough to remember paper MAR's in the hospital. Back then, the MAR has a legend that tells you how to document if a med is given, not given, or given at a time later than what was scheduled. I remember having to circle the time with my initi...

   I would shadow the nurses... do they seem happy in the unit they work at? is the staff turn over rate problematic? does the unit leadership team seem supportive? is it a Level 1 trauma center? is the ICU a mixed Med-Surg or s...

    2 Midnights / risks

    Corey Narry replied to Kmrn65's topic in Case Management

    Hmmm, that's actually part of the core admission orders in our Epic order set...it asks specifically that the provider certifies that this is an admission that will include at least 2 midnights, otherwise, we could say no and make the assessment that...
