    RaDonda Vaught Update - State Health Officials Reverse Decision and File Medical Disciplinary Charges

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I do find it odd that facilities are responding to the Vaught case with drastic changes in their ADC protocols and missing the point on the root cause of the medication error: (1) a false emergency...

    RaDonda Vaught Update - State Health Officials Reverse Decision and File Medical Disciplinary Charges

    Corey Narry replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    What's interesting to me is that the TN BON used the exact words in the CMS report. It leads me to think that they did a cursory investigation the first time around and now had to deal with public...

    Jury Duty

    Corey Narry replied to lizsmith1990's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked in a place that doesn't have a jury duty policy from HR. I've been called almost every year when I lived in the "big city" but only went as far as the jury selection phase and was...

    Liability issues

    Corey Narry replied to nursetim's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm still unclear about any "blanket statement" you are referring to. You quote my post and yet you did not clearly understand the spirit in which the post was intended. I did not state an opinion on...

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Corey Narry replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    True, of all the Ivy's with nursing programs (Penn, Yale, Columbia), Penn is the only one still offering a BSN, the rest start their program with a Master's. Some extend the Ivy designation to other...

    Nebraska FNP Hospitalist in RURAL setting

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

    Sounds like a well-thought out program. I think for us in CA, the closest to getting training in rural medicine for FNP's would be UC Davis...their FNP program allows in-patient electives in emergency...

    Nebraska FNP Hospitalist in RURAL setting

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

    Yes, I know that the Contra Costa FP residency is only for MD's. I only made a reference to it to illuminate that it seems as though physicians make sure that there is training for their family...

    Nebraska FNP Hospitalist in RURAL setting

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

    Personally, I feel that rural health care is an entirely different ball game with its own separate "rules". There are many FNP's working in deeply rural areas doing everything from ED to full range...

    FNP in Hospital Setting

    Corey Narry replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Then I'm not sure why you started a thread. If your question is whether you can get liability coverage, you have to start by applying and honestly answering the application questions about your...

    FNP in Hospital Setting

    Corey Narry replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    In the end, I think you just have to be honest with yourself. You picked a job that offered the best benefits and pay but does it have a cost to your own liability risk? You will be practicing in a...

    Liability issues

    Corey Narry replied to nursetim's topic in Advanced Practice

    The statement that you are held to the standard as an NP even when you are working as an RN comes directly from NSO, a provider of personal liability insurance for all levels of nurses. See FAQ's #7:...

    new nurse- NP or PA school?

    Corey Narry replied to Reaz's topic in General Nursing

    Few things to consider: NP route - you'll get in most programs but there is potential to be viewed negatively by nursing peers for taking the short route to an NP career with little experience. You...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Corey Narry replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I turned 50 this year and I recall a time before the age of online forums and social media platforms when co-workers, friends, and neighbors could openly discuss political issues, talk about...

    Step-Down Unit Acuity

    Corey Narry replied to Claire825's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Where I work, patients with PA catheters are not admitted outside of the ICU's. Remodulin and other cardiac drips that no longer require hour to hour titration are admitted to Cardiac Step Down only....

    How does physician oversight work

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

    California requires NP's to establish "Standardized Procedures" mutually agreed upon with a physician. Standardized Procedures is a document that delineates the NP's specific roles such as evaluation...

    Ethical Dilemma: Is it ever ok to mislead a patient?

    Corey Narry replied to RNjuice's topic in General Nursing

    I have to give my hats off to you as a new nurse for asking the questions and starting a conversation. I've been in nursing for a while and I've seen some nurses dismiss similar issues after their...

    One NP with online education

    Corey Narry replied to Subee2's topic in General Nursing

    As a practicing ACNP, I have to agree that the relative ease in getting admitted to a nurse practitioner program sets our profession up for individuals like Mr. Morgan who are able to gain licensure...

    Nurses Furious As Dentist to Lead Nursing Research Institute

    "NIH conducted a nationwide search that unfortunately failed to identify a suitable person to fill this important role"...I call BS on that statement. Only a nurse should ever fill the NINR director...

    ACNP - best programs in your opinion?

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

    The only online program that I have some knowledge of as I've precepted a student from there is UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham). I've seen this student's online lectures and it was pretty...

    ACNP - best programs in your opinion?

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

    I don't know if there will ever be a reliable best ACNP program for everyone. There are certainly those places where "reputation" and "name recognition" allow them to stand out. For me, I would say a...

    Starting 2020 NO MORE LOCUMS IN CALIFORNIA

    Corey Narry replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know that it will have an impact. Those companies that hire NP's for Medicare home assessments deduct W2 taxes. Unless there are others that

    Starting 2020 NO MORE LOCUMS IN CALIFORNIA

    Corey Narry replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ...and that is exactly why the wages will go down because the NP's would simply fall into the same category as travel nurses. Travel nurses work for the staffing agency who deducts W2 unlike NP's who...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Corey Narry replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing
