  1. Help! Paper topic?

    BCgradnurse replied to 2010NewRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So, can you think of any situations or circumstances where a conflict can arise? You said it can be hypothetical, so use your imagination and experience to come up with something. Is there anything...

  2. Help me feel better...

    BCgradnurse replied to PediRN913's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I understand where you're coming from. I recently left a not so great job for a better one, but I had wonderful co-workers and I miss them a lot. We were like a family, albeit a dysfunctional...

  3. Stanford Rape

    BCgradnurse replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Rape is not a normal response to an intoxicated, provocatively dressed woman. Rape is not a normal response to any man, woman, or child, no matter what the circumstances are. Rape is not a normal...

  4. Stanford Rape

    BCgradnurse replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    No-I can't see it. You are continually blaming women for getting raped. This is 100% the perpetrators fault. Rape can be prevented if perpetrators don't think it is okay to rape. We, as a society,...

  5. RN-MSN looking to be a NP

    BCgradnurse replied to kinkin92's topic in Advanced Practice

    If your goal is to be a CRNA, then why do a generalist MSN? You might be better off getting your BSN and then working in ICU or PACU and then applying to a graduate program for

  6. RN started affair with pt...led to divorce

    BCgradnurse replied to Whispjes55's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have mixed feelings about this. I think you need to do whatever it takes to have peace in your life. If that means not reporting her, then so be it. However, if she was the instigator, then she...

  7. Please help...breathing Treatments

    BCgradnurse replied to CarlaHawk22's topic in Patient Education

    I generally will wait 10 minutes after a treatment to re-assess. O2 sats and HR have stabilized at that point. Patient will often sound worse after a treatment for the exact reasons Just Beachy...

  8. Going to be fired?

    BCgradnurse replied to Meridian2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP- If this is real, and I'm not convinced it is, you are an unsafe nurse. We all have made mistakes, but the vast majority of us don't make excuses for them and blame others for them. We hold...

  9. How important is the personal goal statement to apply for fnp school?

    BCgradnurse replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My personal statement is what got me into NP school. My grades were good, but not exceptional, I had good, but not wildly exciting work experience, and I had been out of school for a long time. I...

  10. Which offer? ED or URGENT CARE?

    BCgradnurse replied to JCBJLT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm all about what makes my life easier at this stage of the game. I would go for the position that will give you regular hours, good pay and bennies, and that won't consume your life with staying...

  11. Will I become a bad nurse? How should I change?

    BCgradnurse replied to blueus's topic in General Nursing

    OP-It's great that you recognize that your anger could be detrimental to your success as a nurse. I agree with others that you may benefit from some professional help. A good therapist can help you...

  12. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    BCgradnurse replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    I was given the "here to save your a**, not kiss it" T-shirt as a gift. I sleep in it occasionally, but it never leaves the house. I don't feel the need to broadcast what I do, but I prefer to leave...

  13. 5/29 This week, I have learned... One year later!!!

    BCgradnurse replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a recent visitor to this page. I love that this has been going on for a year. I learned that I really missed AN when I took a several months' hiatus. I learned that I really worry and care...

  14. APN Career Options

    BCgradnurse replied to Alwaysreading's topic in Advanced Practice

    I worked in management for years in a previous career, and never, ever, want to do it again. I became an APN to take care of patients. That's all I want to do. I work in a private practice full...

  15. Should I quit if the job doesn't fit??

    BCgradnurse replied to RoadRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why wouldn't a new grad in any profession want to work in a supportive environment? None of us graduate from school as experts, and it's no shame to admit that. OP, if it's not a good fit, then look...

  16. Professional Resume service?

    BCgradnurse replied to rninme's topic in Advanced Practice

    I used one and was really happy with the results. I used resumesplanet.com. It was on-line and was very

    BCgradnurse replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I learned: That it no longer bothers me one bit when a patient refuses to see me and wants the MD instead. I usually end up being thankful I didn't have to deal with said patient. That...

  19. Why did you pick your NP Program?

    BCgradnurse replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  20. 5/7 (on 5/9) WILTW: ixchel is a cornflake girl

    BCgradnurse replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that eosinophilic esophagitis can be devastating for a patient. I saw a teenager who basically lives on white rice and applesauce. Growth has been retarded due to poor diet, eczema is...

  21. Insight on Dilaudid?

    BCgradnurse replied to LifeIsBeachy's topic in Patient Medications

    Not everyone....it makes me barf my brains out. I'd rather have some pain than deal with nausea on top of pain. Morphine doesn't do that to

    BCgradnurse replied to Momma1RN's topic in Emergency

    Heroin, opioids, and

  23. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    BCgradnurse replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

  24. Planned Parenthood NP

    BCgradnurse replied to OCRN3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  25. Balancing Nurse Practitioner School/Career and Motherhood

    BCgradnurse replied to melp4's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did a direct entry program. I work full time. Full time means 4 days a week, approx. 32-36 hours. I love having that extra day off for appointments, or just to relax. A 5 day work week is a deal...
