  1. Finding a preceptor for FNP

    So this has been a long journey and I'm half way through my FNP program with UTA. Even though my advisor told me that it was too early to look for preceptors and that we should start 6 months prior to our first clinical I took the plunge and started ...
  2. ENP Network

    I bit the bullet and paid for the membership. I contacted pretty much everyone on my area that was listed. 3 replied that they were full til 2020 and one to come in for a chat. I messaged her back to arrange that but it's been 2 days and no reply. Sh...
  3. Walden online University

    I have many colleagues that went there and they still can't find a job and not only that but they did not learn anything. Go to a local university that has hospital affiliations if possible.
  4. Experience for PMHNP

    I have worked in a inpatient intensive psych unit and what you see in ICU is nothing compared to what you will see. In ICU you might see someone with a drug overdose and drug induced psychosis or someone with a hx of schizophrenia that might have tri...

    I highly doubt there was an adverse reaction. Its just 1mg of Xanax.
  7. Written Up

    Yikes. I hate it when the Docs write confusing orders or write a mix of PRNs of the same med for different reasons. Yes you should never give both the PRN together with the scheduled med. Wait at least an hr. 0.5mg of Xanax is a tini little dose. In ...

  10. How many of you hate your job?

    I agree with some of the posts above. My first job after graduating was on MedSurg-Telemetry and I enter the job so optimistic to find out myself in a very hostile work environment. I loved the being a nurse part and taking care of my patients. Didn'...
  11. Credit checking for a job?..im in trouble :(

    I passed the RN test and most of my questions were priorization. What I did was: Always the less stable patient first. Remember the ABCs. Always see the patient with low respirations and such. It depend on the question. If there is no arway or breath...
