    Can't get covid at work

    Corey Narry replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How was this stated at the workplace? via an email, an official memo, just a manager talking out of their @#$!... I certainly would not risk my health working for such an employer unless they...

    Which route?

    Corey Narry replied to MomtaRN2B2020's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you may actually fit well in an ED environment. With your background in adult Med-Surg and out-patient primary care of all ages, you will find that some of your skills may translate. ED is not...

    CEU/CME for recertification with ANCC??

    Corey Narry replied to Tony1790's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm not sure if "doubling" the CEU/CME hours to 150 still applies for meeting 2 out of the 7 or 8 renewal categories. ANCC revised the categories in 2016 and added "practice hours" as part of the...

    NP License in California by endorsement question.. Please, please help!

    Corey Narry replied to edome85's topic in Advanced Practice

    You can apply to both RN, NP, and NPF licenses at the same time. California does its own evaluation of credentials and it takes longer than other states. For out of state license endorsement to...

    One third of nurses that die from covid are Filipino

    Corey Narry replied to Tweety's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @herring_RN, I really appreciate your comment. I feel like stereotyping Filipino nurses as subservient goes against the fact that in California where up to 1 in 4 nurses are Filipino (both...

    Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    Corey Narry replied to Morning Glory's topic in General Nursing

    Well, yes and no. There are specific AHA Practice Standards for which patients with cardiac conditions need telemetry monitoring and as in any other standard, indications are classified into "must...

    NP Student, highly wanting to do med school?

    Corey Narry replied to FamNP123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are so many paths and variables involved in choosing between a career as a physician and an NP. Ultimately, it's a personal decision. However, I have a few stray observations based on the...

    Multiple Certification Bodies - how did we get here?

    Corey Narry replied to TheSquire's topic in Advanced Practice

    They also watered down the recertification requirements presumably to allow faculty (some of whom are not in active practice) to recertify without practice

    Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    Corey Narry replied to Morning Glory's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, there is a difference between Progressive Care Unit patients and Med-Surg patients with remote telemetry. The PCU patients have the telemetry monitors in the unit and there is a person...

    One third of nurses that die from covid are Filipino

    Corey Narry replied to Tweety's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As a Filipino-American nursing professional myself, I agree with those assessments. I feel that most importantly, this is a wake up call for more awareness among my community to recognize our own...

    New nurse feeling guilty about first death

    Corey Narry replied to midnighttokens's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like right now, we have to make a distinction between how the pandemic is affecting our abilities to provide a standard of care and how frustrating and guilt-inducing that can be for nurses....

    Is ICU worth the stress?

    Corey Narry replied to commitmentphobe's topic in Critical Care

    I think those are feelings you have to explore on your own. There is always this thought that ICU nurses have bragging rights for being hardcore, and there is a reason for that...but it also requires...

    Does your PACU hold ICU patients?

    Corey Narry replied to DVB's topic in General Nursing

    We do that at our medical center. ICU beds can get tight so some ICU-bound patients do stay in the PACU sometimes until a bed opens up. In those cases, we ICU providers are informed that the patient...

    Overworked and understaffed on COVID unit.

    Corey Narry replied to TaylorJ's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is actually what irks me about these kinds of stories. Operators of these facilities aren't necessarily altruistic in their "voluntary" mission to open a COVID unit and take on every patient....

    Overworked and understaffed on COVID unit.

    Corey Narry replied to TaylorJ's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OP, what you are doing is not humanly sustainable even outside the context of a pandemic which whether we acknowledge it or not, is an added source of stress. By working like that, you are bringing...

    Reading the note wrong and thought MD note was an order

    Corey Narry replied to xmsanta's topic in Patient Medications

    Plus that's how providers (or the hospital) get paid for their services. LOL. @xmsanta, we will all make mistakes in our career. I've made them and anyone who says they haven't ever is lying....

    Multiple Certification Bodies - how did we get here?

    Corey Narry replied to TheSquire's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you want historical perspective, I can only speak for us Acute Care NP's in the adult side. Back in the 1990's, as the Adult Acute Care NP role was stating to be established (an offshoot of the...

    Multiple Certification Bodies - how did we get here?

    Corey Narry replied to TheSquire's topic in Advanced Practice

    I blame free enterprise, a lack of unity, and borderline poor ethical standards. Certification boards are business entities that generate income. I question the fact that ANCC is an arm of ANA....

    Allergies? Nope! Covid

    Corey Narry replied to Ioreth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good point. There has been a few false positives in our experience. Many of us providers and nurses signed up for frequent testing as part of a research on how HCW's get infected and one...

    Dual Role

    Corey Narry replied to Crew2Nursing's topic in Advanced Practice

    I've done CCM since 2005. I still love it. However, the nature of the specialization requires shift rotation. We have explored various ways to minimize the night shift commitment for senior staff...

    DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    Holistic training aside, what I see happening is that as Medicine pushes for more training and specialization among their ranks...the NP field has remained stagnant refusing to keep up with the...

    FNP OR ADULT-GERONTOLOGY NP?

    Corey Narry replied to NurseBarb94's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    FNP will give you more mileage as far as job opportunities in out-patient primary care. If you have your mind set on adults and have a good network of potential references and contacts for a job, I...
