  1. Can someone please help me answer this question?

    Lilith replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    The only justification for B I could think of would be that the other three options were designed to tempt you out of your scope of practice: i.e. don't diagnose and practice medicine. This is the...

  3. What a terrible way to start off the new year

    Lilith replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    You may need to take a break for a year. Take a job in something completely unrelated. Breathe. Have some fun. Make new friends. You may be surprised to find that this might re-affirm your committment...

    Lilith posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would like advice on how to handle RN's who challenge a new Nurse Practitioner. My nursing background is as an ER RN, and I have just started a new job as an ER NP. I'm finding the role transition...

  6. Myers-Briggs Type

    Lilith replied to piscesguy's topic in General Nursing

    INTP - ER nurse.. Three INTP's in a relatively small sample, curious since we are something like less than 1% of the population and females even rarer (facts from memery, may be alittle off). I would...

  8. New to Agency Nursing

    Lilith replied to infoseeker's topic in Agency Nurses

    Hi, i have occasionally worked for an agency, but I'm in Massachusetts and do critical care. The paperwork is usually little more than standard HIPA and precaution stuff, and a self appraisal of your...

    Lilith replied to notquiteanurse's topic in Emergency

  11. Boneheaded Nursing: A Cautionary Tale

    Lilith replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Again, thanks for sharing.... In today's nursing, more and more, the system sets us up to fail. I know that orienting a new employee, or hosting a student nurse is HARD WORK. Some of the scariest...

    Lilith replied to Lilith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    lalaxton, Good point about already working "holistically and efficiently" as I am one of the "faster" RN's in the ER. at this point, it looks like it would be the physician's group who would hire me,...

  16. i have a chance to triage...

    Lilith replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Emergency
