  1. Cpr

    glascow replied to nurse051's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a CPR instructor and teach nursing students all the time. They are definitely my favorite students, always prepared and eager to learn. They also over stress about the class. No one fails, it is...

  2. No More Demerol IV Push???

    glascow replied to VickyRN's topic in Emergency

    This is news to me! I work post-op and we give Demerol ALL THE TIME, IV and IM. I did read a couple of research articles yrs ago about why you shouldn't use Demerol, but have not seen a difference in...

  3. The Doctor of Nursing (ND) Degree

    glascow replied to jamaicanRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    We're discussing this topic in the graduate student nurse MSN/FNP/PHD forum https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114252&page=2 There are some good links posted where you can find...

  4. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Programs

    glascow replied to glascow's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Cheri, Thanks, great link! So what's the way to go, DNP or DrNP?? I guess I already know the answer. You have to look at each program and see which one "fits" for you, LOL! I have looked at Rush's...

  5. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Programs

    glascow replied to glascow's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think Columbia & Drexel University are the only 2 schools that offer the DrNP, it is fairly new. I think you must already have your MSN. I have read about so many programs I can't remember for...

  6. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Programs

    glascow replied to glascow's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The more I look into all of these programs, I am beginning to think it might be better to just go for a DNP or DrNP and specialize in critical care. I would rather get a doctorate than a...

  7. graduate school for nurses

    glascow replied to krisssy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I am in a FNP program. It is a total of 9 semesters, I have 2 left to graduate!!!! My first semester, I was nervous about working and school, so took only one class. Since then, I have taken 2-3...

  9. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Programs

    glascow replied to glascow's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for your responses. Those are the two progams I found when doing my own internet search. Are you'll currently enrolled in these programs or know anyone who is?

  10. APA Paper Formatting - Anyone using commercial templates?

    glascow replied to rosendalemj's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have used style ease for the past 2 years, and was pleased with it. After reading gauge 14 post, I downloaded a free trial of end note and found it MUCH easier to use than style ease. I am taking a...

  11. Charting at camp

    glascow replied to BonnieSc's topic in Camp

    Sounds like you did a good job. It is a lot of work, and often the "retired" nurses or even nurses that just come out for a day or two don't realize the liability that could occur, for them, it is...

  12. Charting at camp

    glascow replied to BonnieSc's topic in Camp

    The camp I go to is for kids with disabilities, so our charting is extensive, no computers, and WAAAYYY too much. We do send letters home with each camper informing the parents of how their child's...

  13. Doctoral degrees-Could it be more confusing?

    glascow posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I copied this from another thread: Does any other profession offer so many options to get a doctoral degree? I guess it could be seen as more opportunities, but to me it is just plain CONFUSING!...

  14. Good idea!

    glascow replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Is PNP primary care nurse practitioner? I have also thought about the DNP route and forgetting the post-masters. From what I have seen, FNPs can usually go into any area once they graduate. I guess I...

  15. Is this going to be doable re: work,home,etc.

    glascow replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You should be able to do that. I took path and pharm, worked full-time, commuted 3 hrs one way to school once a week for 7 hrs of lecture. That wa my first 2 semesters. I also have a child. When he...

  16. Good idea!

    glascow replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When I say ANP I am referring to acute nurse practitioner, not adult nurse practitioner. With FNP I am mainly focusing on internal or general practice. I think I may have more opportunities if I had...

  17. Good idea!

    glascow replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Trauma, Each state is different, you will need to see what programs (FNP vs ANP) the other NPs in your area went through, and what kind of positions they are getting. I am also wondering how easy (or...

  18. Good idea!

    glascow replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am in a FNP program, will graduate in May '06. My background is critical care (13 yrs), but there are no ANP programs in my area, and I didn't want to do it online. I do not particularly like...

  19. How to get clinical done? Use PTO or????

    glascow replied to traumaRUs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have found that using my PTO is the best way to fit in my clinicals while working FT. I am also at the 2 + yr point of a 3 yr program. I already have my BSN and am going for NP. The program is 9...

  20. APA Paper Formatting - Anyone using commercial templates?

    glascow replied to rosendalemj's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I use style ease. It does your formatting, and cover page and references. But after 2 yrs in grad school I have found out formatting is the easy part, LOL! You must have the APA book so you can...

  21. NIT!! Who's going?

    glascow replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  23. When do you medicate?

    glascow replied to BonnieSc's topic in Camp

    I think it would depend on the age of the camper. Ask them what they normally do when they get a headache (this will help you see if the parents normally them give them tylenol), and also ask them if...

  24. Who's been to heart camp in the south? Camp Braveheart, Camp Bon Coeur?

    glascow replied to porterwoman's topic in Camp

    I'll answer here so others can get the info. The first time I went I had NO peds experience, only adult ICU, had just been a nurse less than one yr I think. I think I was able to function pretty well,...

    glascow replied to porterwoman's topic in Camp

    I have been to camp bon couer several times as camp nurse, and am planning on going again this summer. It is great! The campers are great, the counselors are great. I have just as much fun as the...
