    yrmajesty3 replied to francoml's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I just started my PICC insertion orientation. Yesterday I saw my first four as I was only scheduled to observe at first. I do have a few questions for you experienced gals. First...I saw the nurse use...

  2. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    yrmajesty3 replied to dixiesnurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    My understanding is NO, you do not have to take the test. Many practice without it. You do need to show that you have been trained though. Keep your curriculum materials to prove that you have this...

  3. PICC Insertion pointers

    yrmajesty3 replied to AmyEkstrand's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Hello Amy, I am just beginning my PICC training. I'll be visiting often to read responses to your question as I expect to be running into the same type of problems when I finally make my first...

  4. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    yrmajesty3 replied to dixiesnurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I dont believe the lurkers are other nurses. My experience with other foot care nurses has been nothing but positive. In fact, all of us have willingly shared our business models, policy and...

  5. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    yrmajesty3 replied to dixiesnurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi Bizi, You may not be hearing from some owners because there have been podiatric lurkers who have used these forums to initiate investigations on some independent foot care nurses( approximately 5...

  6. What type of shoes do you buy?

    yrmajesty3 replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    After starting a new job in a busy GI Lab, I was told by staff that Danskos were the way to go. Fast forward 9 months later...I am now being treated for plantar fasciitus my podiatrist thinks was...

  7. Anything new in the foot care business? Updates on your business?

    yrmajesty3 replied to NC29mom's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi NC29mom, I used LEGALZOOM to set up my LLC. They take care if everything including the naming and licensing. It was fast and cheap. There is no reason to employ a lawyer because this is not a...

  8. Duquesne Accelerated BSN Program...

    yrmajesty3 replied to amnesiac678's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hello Oye, My daughter and I attended the open house and we were quite impressed. You may be interested to know that the new Dean is from Drexel and is wonderful ( per a friend who is a Drexel nursing...

  9. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    yrmajesty3 replied to dixiesnurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    When I first researched this business idea, I assumed that I would have to register or notify the Dept. Of Health about my foot care practice. It turns out that I did not. Apparently, the fact that I...

  10. help understanding non rebreather masks

    yrmajesty3 replied to Whts_Ur_Emergency?'s topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I'll echo the above statements....not a stupid question. I actually worked almost exclusively with vent kids. I never needed to use the non-rebreather mask (even though I was a "pulmonary" nurse)...

    yrmajesty3 replied to Race Mom's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

  12. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    yrmajesty3 replied to dixiesnurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi stepnurse01, I am not pursuing relationships with podiatrists. Sadly, the Board of Podiatry does not seem to be open to coordinated care with nurses. They seem more suspicious than anything else....

  13. Foot Care Nurse

    yrmajesty3 replied to Race Mom's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hello Dawnma, Too much info to share in one short response. I am happy to have a chat with you about what we did and are still working on. It is definitely a work in progress. If you haven't already...

  16. Foot Care Nurse

    yrmajesty3 replied to Race Mom's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hope you're out there Bizi. I'd love to know how your marketing is going. Mine is very slow. I will be doing a health fair this week. If it goes well, I'm planning to create a better brochure and...

  17. Leaving the emergency room for endoscopy

    yrmajesty3 replied to cadency's topic in Gastroenterology

    Thanks for the encouraging words brownbrook. I agree with you that we must never misrepresent our skills. I never have trouble asking for help or letting staff know to keep an eye on me. My worry lies...

  18. Leaving the emergency room for endoscopy

    yrmajesty3 replied to cadency's topic in Gastroenterology

    Hi Brownbrook, I wont be helping in the procedure room. Apparently, our hospital wants only ACLS/Endo Cert nurses back there. Im not qualified for that. I asked about meds because I have NOT really...

  19. Leaving the emergency room for endoscopy

    yrmajesty3 replied to cadency's topic in Gastroenterology

    Unfortunately, I will only be in the pre and post procedure rooms. I think that's why some may think it will be boring.....I don't think so though. If I become at all bored, I would request to work in...

  20. Leaving the emergency room for endoscopy

    yrmajesty3 replied to cadency's topic in Gastroenterology

    Hi Cadency, I just started in a GI lab as well. I have heard similar comments by a NP. She knew that I came from a rather stressful pediatric vent unit and thought I would be bored. Frankly, I am...

    yrmajesty3 replied to dixiesnurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    For all of you with your own foot care business.... Please share your most successful marketing strategies. I am having great difficulty finding seniors who are NOT under the care of a podiatrist. I...

  22. Returning after 17 years out of nursing

    yrmajesty3 replied to LisaMR's topic in Retired Nurses

    Hi There. I have been there. After a 14 year hiatus to raise 3 daughters, I did a refresher program. I did NOT do the clinical aspect because it was adult med-sur centered. I was a NICU nurse. In...

  23. To any and all footcare nurse business owners

    yrmajesty3 replied to dixiesnurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hello Dixienurse, It's true that some podiatrists will be suspicious thinking you are after their patients. It may mean educating them about what a foot care nurse is and does. We actually need to...

  24. Foot Care Nurse

    yrmajesty3 replied to Race Mom's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    EXCELLENT!!!! Care to share any of the sticky info that was covered? I understand that the exam is becoming more detailed every year. Woogy, when you are in the mood to answer a few business...

  25. I can't stop dreaming about the NICU!~

    yrmajesty3 replied to babyCNP's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Sounds like a simple case of mild job anxiety...normal response when so much is at stake (even if you love your job and are mostly comfortable in that environment). I worked Level 3 NICU for many...
