    Thanks, guys. THat was kind of my opinion, but I wanted to know if others felt the same. I'm trying to get to the next step in my career, but opportunities are limited in women's health. A recruiter...

    I really hate when facilities put just anyone in the role of preceptor. Just because you may be an experienced nurse does NOT mean you're a good

    Where will I have the least amount of contact with men?

    klone replied to nightflower's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not all of us were "falling over backwards" to come up with a reason. Some of us are equally confused, regardless of the OP's gender. The profile page uses the pronoun "he" so I assume the OP...

    The capstone no longer requires IRB approval. But regardless, you can't start the IRB process without a fully formed research proposal. So,

    Why DNP and not MD?

    klone replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you want to be a physician, go to medical school. If "stature" is that important to you, then by all means, you absolutely should become a physician, rather than stay a lowly nurse. G-d forbid. But...

    klone replied to takkatak's topic in General Nursing

    My apologies to anyone from Texas whom I offended with my comment. I do know that not everyone who lives there has bass-ackwards opinions, and that bass-ackwards opinions can be found in all other...

    Administering pt supplied mess from OPEN multi-dose vials. Opinions?

    klone replied to IncognitoRN2013's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I think you can't use the PM function until you have more posts. Not sure if the minimum is 10 or 15? So you need to get posting! My email address, both home and work, give my full first and last...

    Why DNP and not MD?

    klone replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Nurses who get their DNPs do so because they want a terminal NURSING degree, not to become a physician. Most nurses who get their DNPs have already been nurses for several years. It's not like it's an...

    Per our facility policy, we are NOT allowed to administer meds brought from home that are already open, for the concerns you mentioned. If you PM me your email address, I would be happy to scan and...

    What a effing ignorant thing to say. I was about to say "Go back to Texas" on a hunch. And then I looked at where you are from. Lo and behold! If you want to debate our immigration policy or the...
