    California or Phoenix??

    klone replied to neurogirl77's topic in General Nursing

    I never lived in Phoenix, but I lived an hour north of Phoenix for 7 years, and nobody could pay me enough to live there. Summers are bloody miserable, and the traffic,

    CNM vs WHNP vs Having Both

    klone replied to JennaSnow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You stated "I could be wrong" and I pointed out that yes, you are wrong. A CNM can indeed manage HRT for a transgender person, if she is comfortable doing

    Delayed TB response to skin test?

    klone replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    How is TB spread? What are the symptoms of ACTIVE TB? If you have a positive Mantoux, what is the next step? What does "messing at it"

    CNM vs WHNP vs Having Both

    klone replied to JennaSnow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yes, you are wrong. As previously mentioned, the scope of WHNP and CNM are exactly the same, except CNM can ALSO deliver babies. There is nothing a WHNP can do that a CNM

    Can you give a lesser dose than prescribed without an order?

    klone replied to Faith1234567's topic in General Nursing

    Jory, you can have this one by attrition, because I've grown bored of debating the issue. Believe what you wish. I'm not confused about anything. I live and breathe TJC regulations. It's part of my...

    Two INCREDIBLE offers!? New grad needing career advice! (ER vs PICU)

    klone replied to forevernurse1211's topic in General Nursing

    Seeing how your ER manager has pretty much guaranteed you a job if you decide to go back, I think you would regret passing up the PICU opportunity. Look at it this way - you do a year or two there,...

    Nurse Entrepreneur

    klone replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I have no need or craving for drama. I was simply commenting on the fact that in the year I've noticed your posts, I've seen you state you want to be a CRNA, then an NP, then own a wellness business....

    How long should you be a nurse before becoming a preceptor?

    klone replied to nurse_kitkat1014's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't consider you to be qualified based on the "minimum 1 year" because IMO, that minimum should be working independently, without a preceptor. So based on their requirements, you shouldn't be...

    Raises?

    klone replied to Stella_Blue's topic in General Nursing

    Everywhere I've ever worked, nurses received an annual performance raise, and then about half the years, a COL adjustment. The only exception is the nurses who had been there for 20+ years typically...

    Gloves for handling misoprostol?

    klone replied to boquiabierta's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right, as you would give ANY oral medication if you were going to be touching it. It does NOT say that it requires "chemo" gloves, gowning, or any special precautions in handling the packaging, as...

    Public schools vs Private schools in Denver

    klone replied to grldisney's topic in General Students

    If you're going to go to school and work in Denver, I HIGHLY recommend you complete a BSN program, not ADN. The Denver new grad market is extremely competitive, and it's quite challenging to get a...

    Gloves for handling misoprostol?

    klone replied to boquiabierta's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Having "oxytocic" actions (and it really doesn't, its mechanism of action is that it's a prostaglandin analogue) doesn't affect a person's future fertility. One would never touch the pills without...

    Where are all the nursing jobs?

    klone replied to neurogirl77's topic in Nursing Career

    Born and raised there. Moved away at age 30. NO desire to return! Winters are brutal, compared to Denver. And then in the summer you have mosquitos. Really, the only times of the year I found...
