  1. NP resume

    kanzi monkey posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi everyone, I think I am ready to start the search for a new job. I have been practicing as an NP for 2.5 years, and I have only have had one position. I am hoping to transition from a hospital...

  2. Legal Question

    kanzi monkey replied to mammac5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are there not safety parameters for these follow up calls? Like, if blood sugars reported 400 call so-and-so doctor or seek emergency treatment? Anyone making the calls could follow these instructions...

  4. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    kanzi monkey replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    i don't really think that because i question the act of taking bodies from "the indigent ward" and practicing non life-saving nursing skills on them that i am turning this into a "class struggle". i...

  5. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    kanzi monkey replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    i don't have a problem with cadaver or organ donation. i really strongly support both as they serve to educate medical professionals and save lives. i do have a problem with the fact that your...

  7. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    kanzi monkey replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    I guess because medical students did this too that it's alright then? Let me ask you this as I see from another post that you have been a nurse for a number of years--does this medical center continue...

  8. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    kanzi monkey replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    This may be one of the most horrifying things I've ever read on this site. Give me a novice nurse who has taken an ethics class with no phlebotomy/IV skills to poke at my arm any day rather than one...

  9. If you think you need to call the MD, CALL THE MD!!!!

    kanzi monkey replied to wooh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You called. She ordered an xray. She responded within a few minutes. Diagnosis within an hour. Horrific disease with rapid onset, devastating course and tragic outcome. The case is later used as an...

  10. Why is it the highest paid among us...

    kanzi monkey replied to notjustanurse's topic in General Nursing

    yes. well done reading between the lines.

  11. Why is it the highest paid among us...

    kanzi monkey replied to notjustanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't condescending. There has not been an instance in my experience where a nurse relays a finding to me that was based on his/her exam with a stethoscope that reveals to me new information about...

    kanzi monkey replied to notjustanurse's topic in General Nursing

    i work on a team of many residents who round on the patients in the morning. then i round by myself in the afternoon evaluating around 25-30 patients. if there is some reason to listen to a chest, i...

    kanzi monkey replied to notjustanurse's topic in General Nursing

    lol, i am nursing staff. i'm an np, and i used to be a floor nurse. i've lent my stethoscope of 5 years many times, in both roles. when i finally lost it, it just seemed inevitable (based on the...

  14. Why is it the highest paid among us...

    kanzi monkey replied to notjustanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Based on the general tone of this thread, I gather that in general nurses get irritated when they ask to have their stethoscope borrowed. I will therefore try harder to find mine or save up to replace...

  15. Why is it the highest paid among us...

    kanzi monkey replied to notjustanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Usually when I'm borrowing a stethoscope I'm evaluating a patient a nurse has called me to see. They are not telling me to buy my own, they are worried about a patient. I come to work prepared to...

  16. Why is it the highest paid among us...

    kanzi monkey replied to notjustanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think you could probably get away without one for awhile. And yes, I know I don't have one (that's what I said in my post). I lost it. It was expensive. I'm still hoping it turns up. I'm not made of...

    kanzi monkey replied to notjustanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Offering a different perspective--I'm the H.O. covering a busy surgical service. I have patients in 3 different buildings, the pacu, occasionally the ED. I have a coat with pockets that's full of my...

    kanzi monkey replied to serenie222's topic in General Nursing

    If a patient is in respiratory distress I give oxygen until they are at least slightly more comfortable (regardless of diagnosis. Unless they have a lit cigarette hanging from their mouth, they get...

  21. Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

    kanzi monkey replied to LPNTO's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I mostly agree with this. However, rather than saying "it is all about your patients" I would add that it is MOST important to protect yourself. The OP's situation--with a young kid unknowingly asking...

  24. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    kanzi monkey replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. It seems like she's a new nurse with loads of skills from a previous career who needs some assistance w/ writing a decent resume to get started in her new profession. She needs a friend or a...

  25. nursing model vs. medical model

    kanzi monkey replied to reflect's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
