    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    Corey Narry replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Does that have to be the only barometer? I feel like this topic needs another thread of its own because we can go on and on about years of LGBTQ people being denied the same rights and privileges as...

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    Corey Narry replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There are no reasonable similarities? I agree that they are two separate issues but the murder of countless gays and transgender people because of their sexual orientation and gender identity by...

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    Corey Narry replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are you talking about the whole state or California's cities? California is one of the most diverse states in the US both demographically and politically. You could be in ultra-liberal "commie" San...

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    Corey Narry replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just giving my two cents here but the issue I see based on the OP's post is not a mere friendly disagreement with one's "lifestyle". For the record being gay is not a "lifestyle". A comment was made...

    COVID and Winter coats

    Corey Narry replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've seen less expensive packable down coats at UNIQLO...again this is a store that's popular in California so the materials may not be suited for the real Winter weather....

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    Corey Narry replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have no idea where Norwalk, CA is aside from it being in LA County but as someone who made a move from the Midwest to the SF Bay Area, I would have to say, I've never been in such a work environment...

    What is your favorite shift to work?

    Corey Narry replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I did 3-11 shifts when I was in my 20's and that was a good fit from a physiologic stand-point...never felt sleep deprived and my alertness and energy levels were stable. However, it sucked for my...

    Doctors not assessing COVID patients?

    Corey Narry replied to orchidflower's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What setting is this? (ICU, floor?) In our medical center, at the start of the pandemic, we made a decision to limit provider, nursing, and ancillary support contact in COVID-19 rooms. Our...

    COVID and Winter coats

    Corey Narry replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh just get fabric OR caps, there are many CNA's and nurses at work that sew them. Our hospital started using washable fabric gowns. They are of a shiny nylon material that seem thick enough to...

    COVID and Winter coats

    Corey Narry replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Those are tough questions and I don't know that there are specific evidence-based answers unfortunately. I think a lot of common sense precautions would be your go to knowing that what's been driving...

    Deprofessionalization of nurses?

    Corey Narry replied to twinmommy+2's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I only read the abstract of the article posted but what I got was the authors advocating for a more common sense approach to a nursing practice framework that creates the "science of caring" by...

    Came in contact urine from ESBL patient

    Corey Narry replied to sjsingh's topic in General Nursing

    That's good advice up there. But just as an FYI, ESBL (extended spectrum beta lactamase) are enzymes that can inactivate beta lactam antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins, and aztreonam) leading...

    CCRN EXAM

    Corey Narry replied to SueRN's topic in General Nursing

    Let me preface by saying that I took this test over 10 years ago. I found that years of working in the ICU is enough to have a good understanding of the concepts on the test, however, doing multiple...

    ANCC Frustrations

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

    @APike that's tough. Unfortunately, there are schools that do not offer the post-Master's NP option at all for certain NP tracks so that may be the case with you. I do agree that as an FNP you could...

    ANCC Frustrations

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

    We get that, but NP's who want to add another certification (ie, FNP then PMHNP in your case) must either graduate from a post-Master's PMHNP certificate program or a PMHNP DNP program for ANCC to...

    ANCC Frustrations

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

    Could your school make an exception and re-classify you as a post-Master's graduate of a PMHNP program? ANCC really just needs a final transcript which you don't

    DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    Corey Narry replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My program from many years back offered the Pathophysiology course in the university's School of Medicine. The faculty were physicians but the frustrating part was that many of the lecturers would...

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

    Corey Narry replied to edome85's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's a highly regulated state riddled with tons of beaurocratic red tape. Most other states have the prescriptive authority built in to the NP license but not California where we have an NP license...

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

    Corey Narry replied to edome85's topic in Advanced Practice

    You don't need the controlled substance course to get a Furnishing License. However, for the Furnishing License to enable to you to also prescribe controlled substances, you have to show proof that...

    Acute v Primary v FNP _NYC area

    Corey Narry replied to emtrn13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would say that if your interest lies in Cardiology (in-patient or out-patient), AGACNP would be the best preparation because there is a heavy focus on cardiovascular physiology in the program and...

    How often should healthcare workers be tested for COVID?

    Corey Narry replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not surprised...even though soccer is not as huge as American football, we're talking atheletes who can command celebrity level salaries. The owner of the sports teams consider them...

    Nursing and being a youtuber

    Corey Narry replied to xlightx's topic in General Nursing

    It's not really social media that's the problem. Nurses can use social media to their advantage and have been doing so for a while now. There are nurses active on Twitter and Youtube just like there...

    NP’s in Los Angeles

    Corey Narry replied to kepd's topic in Advanced Practice

    Los Angeles as compared to the rest of California? Gov Newsom signed AB 890 which removes the requirement for "standardized procedures" - California's term for NP-physician collaborative agreement...

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

    Corey Narry replied to edome85's topic in Advanced Practice

    The official AANP form would suffice. I personally don't even know if ANCC filled out the California form I sent them other than the fact that the postal service communication occurred between the BRN...

    Renewal still pending

    Corey Narry replied to Sorianorb's topic in General Nursing

    That's a bit worrisome. Back in August, I renewed my RN, NP, and NPF online and had a response in 1 week. Could you call the BRN? I noticed though that there were more questions in the renewal...
