    Dave ARNP replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    As far as long term issues go, definately need to be thinking about an ARB. Personally, I like Atacand. Would need to know a little more, but from what I'm getting so far PLAVIX PLAVIX PLAVIX

  6. residents in the er

    Dave ARNP replied to RN92's topic in Emergency

    This was started because a ER staff member was seen taking a bathroom break. Rumor has it, that someone even had time to take lunch. Such travisties must not be allowed Dave, who worked ER the other...

  7. Somebody help me, please!

    Dave ARNP replied to ChicagolandRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can honestly say I KNOW what you're going through. It's not been that long since my psychiatrist came off the speed dial If you ever need to talk. I'm here. I would also make sure you keep up...

  8. ALL NP's PLEASE READ THIS!

    Dave ARNP replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

    It is NOT better to become a PA and they are NOT better trained. If the OP has ANY urge to ever step out beyond the confines of a MD supevision, she's sunk as a PA. NP's are able to function as...

  9. just another burning question......

    Dave ARNP replied to MAGIK GIRL's topic in Emergency

    You gotta admit Magik, the ICU has a "special" way of dealing with patients. Instead of "dealing" with patients they simply get a Propofol drip and the services of a vent Now how often would that...

    Dave ARNP replied to KELLYGIRL's topic in General Nursing

    As always Fab, I'm humbled by your ability to gracefully spin the spin. Very well said!

  13. ACNP or FNP?

    Dave ARNP replied to tnsddeveloper's topic in General Nursing

    I am both! I won't swear to it but when my best friend did the NP program at Vandy, they offered a ACNP & FNP program. At the end, you could sit for both boards. I did ACNP first, and then did a...

  14. Ultram cost me my new dream job

    Dave ARNP replied to KELLYGIRL's topic in General Nursing

    Looking at many of the posts here, it appears some have completely lost touch with reality. Her entire reason for taking this medication could have been derrived by asking one simple question. Did...

  15. Why are you a NP rather than an RN?

    Dave ARNP replied to kellilou3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a NP because I wanted to make the orders, not follow them. Once you understand that, you realize that bedside nursing is alot different from advance practice.

  16. Left-handed nurses

    Dave ARNP replied to Wuiteroz's topic in General Nursing

    My best friend and I are both leftys and both NP's. We've made it! So can you!

  17. residents in the er

    Dave ARNP replied to RN92's topic in Emergency

    If I have learned anything working in ER, it is definately that NO resident should be trusted with a sharp object. When they have blank order sheet in front of them... a sharp object also includes a...

  18. ALL NP's PLEASE READ THIS!

    Dave ARNP replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

    You need to also understand that alot of what you make in the $$$ department is up to you. You have to fight for what you want (well, usually). I make more money than any CRNA in our area (I'm a...

    Dave ARNP replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Highest one that ever lived was 106.9 Had one turn into extra crispy before I got a page to the floor stat. He was 108.8. I think I was 109 when I found out he had been this way for almost an hour...

  20. Naproxen and bleeding

    Dave ARNP replied to z's playa's topic in Pain Management

    Cytotec is class X during pregnancy and is classified as an abortifactant. A big, and I mean a BIG nono If nothing else that resident needs to be slapped. Tell me he's not doing his medicine...

  21. Naproxen and bleeding

    Dave ARNP replied to z's playa's topic in Pain Management

    Just hit me that he gave you cytotec. By your post I couldn't tell if you were male or female. So I'll give you the spill just incase you're female. If you plan on taking cytotec and are female, you...

  22. Naproxen and bleeding

    Dave ARNP replied to z's playa's topic in Pain Management

    We prescribe narcotics after we have tried an adquate round of non-narcotic threapy at theraputic doses. As for what this resident told you, it's bullsh*t. Get a second, third or fourth opinion....

    Dave ARNP replied to sharann's topic in Pain Management

    When I'm doing pain management for a admitted user, I get a Addiction Specialist consult STAT! In may cases, Methadone is given to offset the lack of the drug of abuse. Sometimes they get pain releif...

  25. Ultram cost me my new dream job

    Dave ARNP replied to KELLYGIRL's topic in General Nursing

    Athomas, I am in NO WAY excusing what has happened. I would have major issues if it were one of my patients who was passing out their drugs. All I am saying is that we need to be a little more...
