    Case Study: An OB Catastrophe

    Corey Narry replied to Corey Narry's topic in Critical Care

    Just wanted to say that I encourage free discussion here and there should be no judgement on what people give as answers. Part of practicing the "healing arts" is making inferences based on the data...

    CA NPs. have you seen bill text for AB890?

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

    It seem like this is going to create more regulation that is still up in the air at the moment. Basically, the BRN is supposed to create a Nurse Practitioner Advisory Committee (composed of 4 NP's...

    CCRN 2020 help

    Corey Narry replied to cticurn2020's topic in Critical Care

    I will say that you not passing CCRN is by no means a reflection of your skill as an ICU nurse. What areas in the exam did you not fare as well? That's a good way to start. CCRN is a general exam...

    CA NPs. have you seen bill text for AB890?

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

    There are two separate hoops foreign nurses must jump to work in the US. One is licensure and the other is legal authorization to work in the US. Foreign trained nurses must meet US licensure...

    Should I take this job at a community college?

    Corey Narry replied to Skips's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It doesn't look good nor does it seem appropriate that a faculty member with no experience in a particular clinical setting is being assigned to teach nursing students there. From a legal...

    Holding diuretics, beta-blockers, and nitrate when there are no parameters

    Corey Narry replied to JJBookman's topic in General Nursing

    @JKL33, agreed. There are nuances to the OP's concern. The setting is a SNF where patients are technically stable enough that they are no longer in an acute care setting but not quite stable to be...

    Holding diuretics, beta-blockers, and nitrate when there are no parameters

    Corey Narry replied to JJBookman's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you're in a tough situation and your concern is legitimate. Unfortunately, I think a lot of staff education must happen in your setting. Typically, the residents in your SNF has had at least a...
