    Thank you, Joy Behar!

    anh06005 replied to ixchel's topic in Nursing Humor

    Now I have some of the worst humor ever. I don't take offense to much. I love Daniel Tosh and Family Guy for the comedy and horrible (and at times offensive) humor. I didn't feel they were saying it...

    Denied the job of an ER nurse?

    anh06005 replied to Zoe t's topic in General Nursing

    I am 99% sure it will not be an issue. If I do notice scars during a physical that look to be self harm I may address it and ask about them just to make sure issues have resolved that contributed to...

    New nurse

    anh06005 replied to MingaL's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Unfortunately some seem to think that unless you are in ICU or ER you're not really getting the full nursing experience! Some look down on clinic nurses, home health, case managers, etc. thinking it's...

    Collaborative/Practice agreements

    anh06005 replied to skemick's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh but it may vary by state. I am in Arkansas and our agreement basically says he reviews so many of my charts each quarter and is available (in person or by phone) when I am

    Collaborative/Practice agreements

    anh06005 replied to skemick's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work in a clinic with 5 MD's. They all see their own panel of patients and when they have time off they all see each others as needed. I see mostly walk ins from ALL of the doctors. I only have an...

    LPN who does not want to be an RN?

    anh06005 replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It takes all levels to make the healthcare system work! There are healthcare providers on ALL levels that I'd love to take care of me or my family as well as some on ALL levels I wouldn't want to...

    Afib: A question of nursing judgment

    anh06005 replied to crazycat1's topic in General Nursing

    I'd want them evaluated more than I can do in my clinic. If they are a fib and no anticoagulant could have developed a clot. If their rate is bouncing around its only a matter of time before their BP...

    Nurse Practitioner School

    anh06005 replied to sweetnsugar123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would clarify with some of those schools. Some may not require RN hours to apply it get admitted but MIGHT require it before the clinical portion of the program. Just a heads up. And RN experience...

    Getting your own preceptor / shadows

    anh06005 replied to fetchfelix's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Look into local B&M schools. Many of them are mostly online and require only a few class meetings per semester because most realize the students will likely be working as a RN while going through...

    Is anyone a registered nurse?

    anh06005 replied to xc898's topic in General Students

    As PP's have suggested you probably need to get out in your community. There's no way for you to know if our answers are even true online. Ideas of where to find nurses: 1. Local hospital - they...

    anh06005 replied to Curiouss's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm no ortho nurse but aren't joint replacements only good for around 30 years? I have middle aged patients who could use knee replacements but are too young at this time to get them. Also think about...

    Are you expected to work on a unit you haven't oriented to?

    anh06005 replied to lorichka6's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely I've floated somewhere I didn't have orientation! I worked cardiac step down and floated once to hospice, a couple of times to L&D where I got postpartum moms, and once to ortho...

    what to do when your pt has high bp?

    anh06005 replied to AmandaAlldrin's topic in General Nursing

    1. Recheck 2. Ask questions (Did you take your meds this morning? Start anything new? Anything OTC? Consider pain to an extent as well) 3. Get them in with their PCP if at all possible. If symptomatic...

    I agree with Jules. I explain that we do a lot of the same things as doctors but have a different type of schooling and the nursing

    Discovered a boo-boo on Social Media

    anh06005 replied to mmc51264's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I can see where the OP is coming from. If I saw a serious allegation online that was bad enough I just might bring it up to someone to be investigated. It wouldn't mean anybody was getting into...

    BSN, NP, PA, and MD

    anh06005 replied to JePierreB's topic in General Students

    As long as you have the other pre-req's and meet other admission criteria why wouldn't a med school consider you? English and history majors can get into med school if they meet the criteria and...

    Can you apply as a PCA with a BSN degree, but hasn't taken NCLEX yet?

    anh06005 replied to sdgdude's topic in General Nursing

    I assume PCA is like a patient care aide?? If you have your BSN you should apply for RN positions. Many places will put you on orientation as a RN long as you plan on taking NCLEX soon (I started my...

    Could this be discrimination?

    If you're concerned you can bring it up with whoever is over her to discuss the issue. At my hospital there is an administrative person over clinical people including

    Could this be discrimination?

    anh06005 replied to FutureRNKKP's topic in General Students

    If the new manager has only been there 4 months was she the one who hired these new nurses? And she is not saying you cannot have a position...just that you must wait until you pass boards. Perhaps...

    Would you wait for Dr orders?

    anh06005 replied to AcuteCare4Life's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with others that the Lasix would have been a no-no for me. I'd switch over to non-rebreather, further assess the patient, check PRN's for updrafts, anxiety meds, etc. and give if I thought...

    So I mentioned the clinical cards I made in a Facebook group and some people wanted to see them so I uploaded them into Dropbox. Figured I might share here as well because I've gotten SO MUCH info...

    Parents wanting MD

    anh06005 replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think it's more a matter of them not being acquainted with you. As some PP's have said when the patients have ONLY seen that MD of course they want to see who they know. I am in the same boat...

    I think a few days of getting he flow of the unit is fine but as PP's said she needs to jump on in now. The best way to learn is make mistakes. Orientation is the time to make these mistakes and...
