    NP Specialty Programs

    Corey Narry replied to DarlineRN's topic in General Specialties

    New NP grad RN-NP

    Corey Narry replied to CitySoul's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    Documentation when a medication was missed

    Corey Narry replied to Elven_RN's topic in Patient 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....

    Corey Narry replied to Hacker's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    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...

    Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

    Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

    Corey Narry replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    Case manager to NP school?

    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...

    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...

    When to use FNP when not in that role

    Corey Narry replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Advanced Practice

    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...
