    Corey Narry replied to Snursingwith's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not familiar with the Johns Hopkins program but I know of Masters Entry graduates from other schools (ie, UC Davis). The program prepares individuals with a Bachelors in another field to become...

    Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    I'm not a Psych NP but rather an Adult ACNP who's been in hospital-based practice since 2004. I have precepted students from a variety of schools, all respectable ones from my own Alma Mater (a state...

    2 Midnights / risks

    Corey Narry replied to Kmrn65's topic in Case Management

    Hmmm, that's actually part of the core admission orders in our Epic order set...it asks specifically that the provider certifies that this is an admission that will include at least 2 midnights,...

    Can atrial fibrillation cause cardiogenic shock?

    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

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

    CCNE certainly must be taken to task for their apparent failure to enforce their own standards. Per their own 2024 version of the Standards of Accreditation, the document states: I hate to...

    BLS 100% Online?

    Corey Narry replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I've done BLS and ACLS with the didactic material completely online through AHA. Testing of knowledge is all online (including the mega code which in my years of having ACLS always was in-person with...

    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?

    Corey Narry replied to Mcnurse567's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

    BSN to PMHNP for better financial stability?

    Corey Narry replied to dln0616's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP won't start at 200K a year even in highest paying hospitals in California as a new grad. UCSF pays the highest in all the UC system and RN's start at $80.76 per hour working 36 hours a week which...

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Your comment made me Google this cruise. The cost is $2,499 per person excluding international flight. It's on the lower end of the actual cost of a 7-day Costa Rica cruise. Not all slots were full...

    Was this a HIPAA issue?

    Corey Narry replied to IreneTouTheou's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't think this is a HIPAA violation. When I think of HIPAA, I think of PHI which is protected health information. Any mention of patients' identifying information (name, etc) and their health...

    FNP transition to health/fitness

    Corey Narry replied to priorityhealthFNP's topic in Nursing Career

    This is a very interesting question and one that I'm sure many of us providers contemplate. Day in and day out we see patients with medical diagnoses that could have been prevented early on with a...

    Recommendations for 2024 NP PROGRAMS

    Corey Narry replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For California, I am familiar with UCSF and have been a preceptor to their AGACNP students. The students in that program are well selected and perform really well in clinicals. The lectures the...

    Is it still worth it becoming an APRN in 2024?

    Corey Narry replied to guestnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I graduated from my NP Program in 2003. I attended a regionally respected state university with an affordable tuition and even got a HRSA grant along the way that cut the cost of my education by half....

    FNP working casual as RN?

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

    As far as supplemental NP gigs (not as an RN) I know of Medicare visits that you can do as a Per Diem. I did it for a short period of time but did not like having to drive to Medicare benficiaries'...

    NP/PA Call Room Expecations

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

    Good question. When I worked in Critical Care Medicine, all the NP's who work nights have access to a call room with a twin bed and a desktop computer. Some have a bathroom but not all. Some you have...

    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how much she charges. I don't know if she is still doing speaking engagements for that matter. I'm sure Ms Vaught has cornered that market at this point. Personally, I don't really know...

    Corey Narry replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    That seems to be happening since an update in the allnurses system. I actually knew you were not referring to me based on your response but just wanted to clarify. No apologies
