    FNP vs PNP

    klone replied to youngnurse22's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I would imagine that an FNP would make you more marketable, because you could care for adults as well as peds. What type of programs are there for you locally? I would not advise doing an...

    Final Capstone paper PASSED!!

    klone replied to klone's topic in Western Governors University

    How did you go about publishing? DId you just submit it to various pertinent journals? Also, did you submit it as is, or did you change anything so it was less WGU-specific, and more

    Overweight

    klone replied to MCNERRA's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Well, I can only speak for myself, but if you previously weighed 120 lbs, then yeah, 50 lbs is pretty significant. She didn't say she was "that fat" but that she is overweight. I used to be in an XS...

    Overweight

    klone replied to MCNERRA's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Good luck to you! I've yo-yo'ed between 135lbs and 180 lbs since I've become a nurse 9+ years ago. Twice in that time I was able to lose 40 lbs in 6 six month period. The first time was from simple...

    post partum hemorrhage medications

    klone replied to LnDPPRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, L&D nurses do not have a greater scope of practice. I have never seen PPH meds as a PRN standing order. If a woman starts to hemorrhage, there is a physician there to assess and order whatever...

    Yes, I remember the tan M&Ms. They were my favorite. I'm sad they're gone. And I also remember the rumor that the red M&Ms cause

    What are the general prerequisites classes for a 4 year BSN degree in the states?

    klone replied to abstractconcept's topic in General Nursing

    If you're doing a 4-year BSN program, the prerequisites are already part of the program. That's what the first 2 years

    It's not a nurse thing. It describes anyone who thinks they're unique and special and deserves special treatment. I first heard the term at parenting websites (used to describe the special snowflakes...

    Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

    klone replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm about two weeks away from completing the MSN. I did it in stages: RN-BSN, then the MSN separate. It took me 18 months to do the BSN, and 26 months to do the MSN. If I had not procrastinated, I...

    Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    Sexual Comment from Boss???

    klone replied to headtotoewounds's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you are probably right. :) Stevia is probably better for you. Although, I'm a fan of agave nectar. I add a little of that to my yeast instead of sugar when I'm proofing yeast for baked
