    International MD wants to become a nurse

    Corey Narry replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    The NP route is a good recommendation. Just be aware that in California, MEPN programs (UCLA, UCI, UC Davis) have been restructured to graduate Master's prepared nurses that are eligible for RN...

    International MD wants to become a nurse

    Corey Narry replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Your ENT specialty is nowhere near similar to what most nurses do at the bedside. You have to get accepted to a nursing program, graduate, pass the NCLEX, and get registered with the BRN, then you can...

    Bay Area circulating

    Corey Narry replied to Nurse_man_89's topic in Operating Room

    I work in one of those hospitals you mentioned. If I remember right, because this was years ago, I was moonlighting with the Cardiac Surgery service and there are dedicated Cardiac Surgery first...

    No ICU doctor at night

    Corey Narry replied to blistersonmyfingers's topic in Nursing Career

    It is not uncommon in community hospitals. You have to clarify the statement - "They get the extra night shift pay to stay in house, but go home at night" - physicians are typically salaried. They...

    Anyone work 7days on/off?

    Corey Narry replied to rn3052's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know of a Critical Care Medicine PA that did something similar at our hospital. Most of the in-patient APPs work 3 12-hr shifts a week. Anything over 40 hrs a week becomes overtime (per union...

    Do you think AI will replace Nurses one day?

    Corey Narry replied to Pinkterton1234's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We actually casually speak about this at work, sure AI can process objective information (VS, labs, test results) but can't do a physical exam. It can probably do a good job reading imaging studies...

    Supervising NP students

    Corey Narry replied to Dr Khader's topic in Psychiatric

    If you sign up with an NP preceptor service. If you're active in healthcare social media (LinkedIn for instance), they aggressively pursue preceptors for desperate NP students. I am not familiar with...

    Male nurse and midwifery

    Corey Narry replied to birthbabiesandbeyond's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You should pursue it, I'm sure there are other male midwives. In San Francisco, I know of one...SFGH Midwife This is a commentary written by an Australian male midwife: Men in

    Education between school and job

    Corey Narry replied to SBE's topic in Nursing Career

    I would recommend listening to podcasts. What is your specialty? there are many Family Practice related podcasts that discuss specific cases, treatments, recent evidence, etc. There are ones for...

    Do you think AI will replace Nurses one day?

    Corey Narry replied to Pinkterton1234's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Many institutions are using AI Scribes now. It does not replace the provider, rather, the AI program with the patient's consent, transcribes the entire provider-patient interaction and creates a...

    California nursing pay

    Corey Narry replied to kraft Wek's topic in General Nursing

    San Francisco NP here. Nurses in union-represented hospitals are paid well but that is because the cost of living is high. So to answer your question whether it's a fair pay, I would say it is...

    NP Education/Activism

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

    Thanks for that link for reference. There is still a lot of contention since that was released. Even though AACN adopted those as standards of accreditation, Standard II (Institutional Commitment...

    NP Education/Activism

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

    About a year ago, an experienced NP in Texas who works in Emergency Medicine made waves by attempting to publish a statement on the need for change in NP education. As one would expect, he made a lot...

    Case Study: Solve A Neurologic Mystery

    Corey Narry posted a topic in Critical Care

    There are no reliable sources who witnessed the events leading to patient presentation making it more difficult to ascertain the etiology of her condition. The author hopes to elicit a discussion of...

    Case Study: Solve A Neurologic Mystery

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

    I wrote this case in 2013 as I found it interesting and I'm glad it is still getting some attention. I have now transitioned into an NP role in Cardiology and have thought about future CV case studies...

    Bridge Program from PhD in Nursing to DNP Degree

    Corey Narry replied to J. E. Darby's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    States have not required a DNP to be certified as an NP. What is happening is that schools of nursing have been phasing out MS or MSN programs and making the DNP the only degree offered leading to NP...

    Critical care case management

    Corey Narry replied to pixielated's topic in General Nursing

    Not a case manager here. One way our CMs help in the ICU is when a patient who is in the ICU in our tertiary referral center needs to be transferred back to the referring hospital still requiring ICU...

    Bridge Program from PhD in Nursing to DNP Degree

    Corey Narry replied to J. E. Darby's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Out of curiosity, what would be the benefit of a PhD to DNP program? other than a nurse with a PhD who is not an APN but wanting to gain the ability to practice as an NP by going through a DNP...

    Reciprocity/Licensure question

    Corey Narry replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    That seems odd. Majority of states (except perhaps less than a handful) require national certification to practice so being nationally-certified makes it easy to endorse to another state. In a lot of...

    Head straight into NP program as soon after graduating with BSN or wait?

    Corey Narry replied to Kade Chatelain's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you like the OR, you can be a first assist (RNFA) without having to be an NP. If you want to work as an NP who also functions as an RNFA then it's a good idea to do both. I think you can start now...
