    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...

    The following is a case involving a young male who presents with fever associated with respiratory symptoms. This is based on a real case. The events leading to his hospitalization and his course in...

    ICU issues

    agree...we have patients who already have CGM (like the Freestyle Libre) and we still do POCT glucose on

    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...

    Can NPs working in a speciality be a 103NP?

    Corey Narry replied to Shadow7767's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One of the NP's in an in-patient specialty is applying...I posted a similar question in another thread and didn't get a response. I'll update once I hear from this

    Can NPs working in a speciality be a 103NP?

    Corey Narry replied to Shadow7767's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We have been discussing this in our institution (we have a separate APP advisory board independent of physicians). NP's in specialties can apply for 103 status. All this affords us is the ability to...

    I work as an NP at a university hospital that is part of a larger health sciences campus with Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Dentistry programs all at the graduate level. Within the medical center...

    Coworker starting out making more per hr as a new nurse than me. Should I be angry?

    Corey Narry replied to Dialysis RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I think that's unfortunately not unheard of in non-union settings. In such cases, one would hope a manager would care enough about all employees to not allow this. Unfortunately this non-transparency...

    Advanced Practice - Struggling to find where I fit in

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

    Could you talk to PMHNP program directors and ask if you can be a candidate to their program? Just as an anecdote, I'm an ACNP with over 20 years of experience in Critical Care and now in Cardiology...

    Going for MSN-NP

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

    If you trust that PMHNP, ask what areas you could improve on to be a good candidate for the program. From what I'm reading and with the caveat that I'm not a PMHNP (I'm an ACNP), you seem like a good...

    How do you pick a nursing specialty?

    Corey Narry replied to Ts2906's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My undergrad degree allowed me to be exposed to various areas of nursing from community health to adult in-patient, pediatrics, maternity, and nursery, and OR. It allowed me to get a sense of which...

    Should I quit NP school?

    Corey Narry replied to Nurse7995's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If your heart is not in it, don't force yourself to continue. It is a big commitment to go through the program, prepare for boards, and look for a job that will be a good fit for you. Plenty of...

    4th Year Nurse - Should I delete my tiktok content?

    I work in a liberal-minded city in a work environment that embraces points of view that sometimes challenges societal norms. I've seen nurses with unusual hair styles and dyes, piercings and visible...

    Obtaining NP License in a Different State

    Corey Narry replied to Hopefulstudent333's topic in Advanced Practice

    You likely will be asked to also have an RN license in that state. The RN compact license rules do not extend to advanced practice and states require an active in-state RN license as a condtition for...

    Private School Recommendations in Los Angeles

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

    SoCal is a rather large area, do you have a geographical limitation? as far as private schools, there are many: Azusa Pacific, Biola, Loma Linda, Mount St Mary's. These are private schools (religious...

    Women's Health Nurse Practitioner School

    Corey Narry replied to xxLISAx2xx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    WHNP is a narrowly focused NP specialty. As such, just a few programs exist if you want to stay in California. Of all the accredited programs here, only the CSU campuses in Fullerton and Long Beach...

    National Practitioner Data Bank (NPBD) report

    Corey Narry replied to NurseKat1972's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry this happened to you. We're probably the same age and length of NP career though I have been in Acute Care the whole time. It is just frustrating how the "customer service" focus of healthcare...
