   Corey Narry replied to Snursingwith's topic in School Programs

   I'm not familiar with the Johns Hopkins program but I know of Masters Entry graduates from other schools (ie, UC Davis). The program prepares individuals with a Bachelors in another field to become RN's with a Master's degree. You are eligible to tak...

   Psych NPs that Quit Psych

   Corey Narry replied to CuriousConundrum's topic in NP

   I'm not a Psych NP but rather an Adult ACNP who's been in hospital-based practice since 2004. I have precepted students from a variety of schools, all respectable ones from my own Alma Mater (a state university in Michigan) to well known names (Duke,...

   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...

   Can atrial fibrillation cause cardiogenic shock?

   Corey Narry replied to Hacker's topic in CCU

   Agree, I participated in the AACN CMC and CSC practice question pool development and this is an example of a question where you have to look at the details. Yes, long-standing AFib with RVR can lead to cardiomyopathy and in essence, a risk for cardio...

   Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

   Corey Narry replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   CCNE certainly must be taken to task for their apparent failure to enforce their own standards. Per their own 2024 version of the Standards of Accreditation, the document states: I hate to keep making Walden as the example but their NP pr...

   BLS 100% Online?

   Corey Narry replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I've done BLS and ACLS with the didactic material completely online through AHA. Testing of knowledge is all online (including the mega code which in my years of having ACLS always was in-person with an instructor in the past). Once completed, there ...

   Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

   Corey Narry replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   It is more convoluted in the NP world. There is really no existing accrediting body responsible for accrediting just the NP programs. It has been for years that CCNE is the accrediting body for all nursing programs in the US. CCNE grants 10-year accr...

   Case manager to NP school?

   Corey Narry replied to Mcnurse567's topic in NP Students

   Full disclaimer: I graduated from NP school in 2003 and I went to an AGACNP program in a state university that only had a total of 6 students in my batch. I think your chances of acceptance depends on the school and specific program you're apply...

    Stable Vtach

    Corey Narry replied to Matthew89's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with responses. It is also good to think about VT causes. Not knowing much about the cardiac history other than new AFib and a somewhat normal EF, perhaps VT was induced by the acidemia from DKA and other electrolyte imbalance (was the serum po...

    When to use FNP when not in that role

    Corey Narry replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Advanced

    Interesting that 2 of our wound care specialist nurses at work actually use the FNP-BC title in their signatures. I don't know if it will matter. Role confusion might get brought up, but as long as the hospital staff are aware of your actual role whe...

    BSN to PMHNP for better financial stability?

    Corey Narry replied to dln0616's topic in NP Students

    OP won't start at 200K a year even in highest paying hospitals in California as a new grad. UCSF pays the highest in all the UC system and RN's start at $80.76 per hour working 36 hours a week which translates to around $151K annually. RN's do quick...

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Your comment made me Google this cruise. The cost is $2,499 per person excluding international flight. It's on the lower end of the actual cost of a 7-day Costa Rica cruise. Not all slots were full and this one-time event is now done and over with. I...
