    It's That Time of Year Again: Preparing for Influenza Season

    Corey Narry replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Get the vaccine. I work at a tertiary facility and each year, we receive outside hospital transfers on a number of flu cases who go into full blown respiratory failure leading to ECMO cannulation and...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Corey Narry replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and I've met some of them too. I know one who expresses political beliefs openly on a blog and on twitter while practicing in a state known for leaning the opposite direction. I guess if done...

    Starting 2020 NO MORE LOCUMS IN CALIFORNIA

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

    Interesting, definitely an example of a law meant to protect a segment of the workforce but ended up limiting the prospects for another group. So I wonder what other groups are saying...there are...

    PhD horror stories- Thoughts?

    Corey Narry replied to lyndsay1985's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think that's what would scare me about getting a PhD from the for profit institutions. They're just typically not upfront with who is on their faculty line up and what their expertise are. I am...

    Thready Pulse in Cardiac Arrest

    Corey Narry replied to CCU_RN_2's topic in General Nursing

    ACLS is also rhythm focused so you would have to know what the rhythm is to determine what your next step is. You could be getting a thready pulse with no BP because the pt is in V

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Corey Narry replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're right. While I'm more familiar with doxxing stories where someone was trying to seek revenge for someone they didn't like and went through lengths to expose the victim of doxxing, this...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Corey Narry replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Correct, and doxxing can take a highly sophisticated process of deciphering your identity even in this website where the members can use an alias and post anonymously. We should be careful with what...

    Male RN's with Long hair - Job Interviews

    Corey Narry replied to Catalin's topic in Men in Nursing

    What's the environment like where you're seeking employment? I work in a place where male nurses with visible tattoos, piercings, man-buns, full beards, dreadlocks, are working at the bedside. It...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Corey Narry replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    the bolded words in the statement quoted and work anywhere is plainly untrue on any level. No one can claim to have the qualifications to work anywhere. It could be that the writer of the original...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Corey Narry replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    There are administrators, physicians, nursing leaders, and staff nurses who identify their employers and are active on twitter and other social media sites. They do not post statements that negatively...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Corey Narry replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse who reported the post did the act with a malicious intent in my opinion. There was nothing to be gained there other than an attempt to get someone else in trouble and it worked...it's a game...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Corey Narry replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    1. Yes, with a good dose of common sense. Neutral topics and stuff that you can openly discuss without negative repercussions from management, peers, and patients are OK. If you can't tell the...

    Seeking advice for possible position change

    Corey Narry replied to TokenMurse's topic in General Nursing

    1. I experienced the kind of unit you have when I was a new nurse and yes, it was a revolving door for new RN's and I can't recall anyone who was there for 13 years. It was "normal" working conditions...

    Probable HIPAA violation. How to proceed?

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

    I would start by bringing the concern to the individual with a preface statement that the issue should also be brought up to the larger health system's privacy office because the information was mined...

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

    Corey Narry replied to RNjuice's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that this should be handled in a multi-disciplinary approach and I'm actually surprised that it has not been addressed by your rehab team yet (MD, RN, Neuropsych, SW, etc). Is it possible that...

    Full time vs per diem pay difference

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

    I work as a per diem (On Call NP) at another hospital and my hourly pay there is approximately 20% more than what I would have gotten paid if I were working there full time. Their rates are based on a...

    Nurse Practitioner Called a Drug-Dealer at Sentencing

    Corey Narry replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Why drag this case along the issue of independent practice for NP's? The whole argument against independent practice for NP's from physician's standpoint revolve around the discrepancy in the breadth...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Corey Narry replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I find it rare that nurses have the certification credentials in their actual badge and I'm assuming hospital policy dictates that only letters such as RN, NP, MD, PA-C and degrees such as PhD or PsyD...

    Well that is pushing ethical boundaries

    Corey Narry replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of exogenous progesterone supplementation during the implantation? I agree that it's almost miraculous that she went through the pregnancy without apparent issues. I feel that this is...

    ACNP - Will I be missing out?

    Corey Narry replied to Apple2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    Specific to the OP's question about ACNP's in the ED, I would agree with @ghillbert. You are taking a bit of a gamble with a training that does not cover all ages. There are certainly adult-only or...

    Translating at Work

    Corey Narry replied to nursingmeow's topic in General Nursing

    In our hospital, we tend to favor matching a patient's preferred language to a nurse who has some command or fluency in that particular language because it does make it easier to provide care that...

    Some Critical Care Transport programs actually employ ACNP's such as the one at Cleveland Clinic: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/departments/critical-care. I met a colleague who works for them at a...

    I disagree that the customers of this business are at the same risk as they are while shopping or walking down the street. They are after all, receiving intravenous agents that could easily cause an...

    Corey Narry replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I've only met @traumaRUs and @tnbutterfly at NTI this year. Years ago back when I lived in the Midwest, I was logged in on allnurses when a co-worker walked past me and said "aha, you're juan de la...
