  1. Mentorship agreement/articulated plan in Colorado

    I see you RN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just applied for prescriptive authority in Colorado. Would anyone be willing to share a copy of their mentorship agreement and articulated plan with me? After spending a couple of hours sifting...

  2. Conference suggestions?

    I see you RN posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm an AGACNP working in long-term acute care. I found several conferences that looked great and am having a hard time deciding. Anyone have an acute care conference experience they would like to...

  3. Mentorship agreement/articulated plan in Colorado

    I see you RN replied to I see you RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also moved from Texas, and was surprised at the difference between the two regulating bodies. There are advantages and disadvantages to both models, but I couldn't believe that they didn't do a...

  4. Mentorship agreement/articulated plan in Colorado

    I see you RN replied to I see you RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Since there was no response I ended up making my own. I'm uploading it just in case someone else could use it. Please note that I am hospital based, and my attending physician is there all day, every...

  5. Staffing agencies in Dallas?

    I see you RN posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Does anybody have a recommendation about a staffing agency? I'm starting school again and want the flexibility of choosing my own schedule. I have three years of experience, one on an ICU and two in a...

    I see you RN replied to gambron's topic in Post Graduate Students

  7. CCRN

    I see you RN replied to Suri08's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I'm using the Pass CCRn and the Gasparis DVDs. I like them in conjunction because she gives a nice overveiw and tips on what will actually be on the test, then I look through the book to get more in...

  8. Leveling art line to tragus for cpp???

    I see you RN replied to jimmy_hat's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    We're phleb axis people on our NICU. I'll be interested to see what research comes out to support zeroing at the tragus. We also use 3% saline and mannitol; I've never seen a higher concentration of...

  9. Any night shifters split the difference?

    I see you RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    This week I am starting on nights. I'll usually be working three in a row, always on weekends. Rather than try to make the 12 hour flip-flop from days to nights I want to try to stay up until midnight...

  10. Being assertive

    I see you RN replied to cuteinpinkNS's topic in General Nursing

    I have a lot of self-confidence and have spent a lot of time thinking about my professional relationships, but I still find myself in situations where it is hard to speak up. An easy short cut if...

  11. Any night shifters split the difference?

    I see you RN replied to I see you RN's topic in General Nursing

    Last night was my first night trying it. It was a struggle to stay up until midnight, even though I had a nap in the afternoon yesterday. I was trying to sleep for four hours, get up for breakfast,...

  12. Could volunteering affect my license?

    I see you RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a practicing RN in Texas. I would like to volunteer at my son's elementary school to help them out while one of the nurses is doing screenings, but I'm concerned that it would have ramifications...

  13. Mistakes

    I see you RN replied to locust66's topic in General Nursing

    In general they do not, but it depends on the severity of the

  14. Night Shift Schedules...how does yours work?

    I see you RN replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    These shifts sound really hard to work. I'm at Baylor and have decided to go to the two day alternative. I'll be working every Saturday and Sunday night. That's considered a full time schedule there,...

  15. How long until shingles crust? I wanna work!

    I see you RN replied to I see you RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the kick in the bootie. Today is Sunday, my PCP isn't open, but I will make an appointment with him first thing in the morning. Sadly, I just moved across the metroplex so it's going to be...

  16. How long until shingles crust? I wanna work!

    I see you RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, after years of school, living through the NCLEX, and four days of butt-flattening classroom orientation, employee health diagnosed me with shingles on my very first day on the floor. There is a...

  17. How long until shingles crust? I wanna work!

    I see you RN replied to I see you RN's topic in General Nursing

    They didn't start me on an anti-viral. I was seen in employee health, not by my PCP, so perhaps I need to give him a call. I am very lucky that the outbreak is not on my face. Just typing that has...

  18. Do Not Rehire?

    I see you RN replied to Nidgma's topic in General Nursing

    I've gotten to the point now where I'm irritated if the hospital doesn't have a tracking system. It is so easy, and cuts down on time spent on futile

  19. Stumped on a gtt ml/hr math question

    I see you RN posted a topic in General Students

    Usually I can figure out the math questions intuitively but this one got me. If someone with a better brain than I could explain the formulas, I would greatly appreciate it. 1000 mL with 40 mEq KCL...

  20. And I continue my rant of MAs pretending to be nurses..

    I see you RN replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    I'm writing a thesis on MD/RN communication. Several researchers have found that even docs sometimes don't understand the difference between RN, LVN, and NA. Adding yet another level in there makes...

  21. Random Thoughts: From a Nursing Student

    I see you RN replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    Because your instructors want to make very, very sure that everyone in that hospital knows that you are a student, and therefore should not perform surgery, run codes, push metoprolol, etc. etc. Think...

  22. Gift for a preceptor?

    I see you RN replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished a 10 week externship. The hospital has a system in place for recognition - a pin that goes on the name badge, a little extra bonus, and recognition from the management staff. I wrote a...

  23. UTA Second Degree Fast Track Program

    I see you RN replied to shasta12's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm in the regular program at UTA, not the fast track, but I know several people who were in the fast track program. Priority was given to THR employees. You have to work while you are in the program,...

  24. Follow up to application/job search question

    I see you RN replied to beautsbelle's topic in General Nursing

    If they specifically say not to call, I would not call. The best way to get a job is to get to know people. Go to alumni functions, join orghanizations, do what you can to meet someone that's already...

  25. Math and I don't mix, should I consider something else?

    I see you RN replied to LittleJ's topic in General Students

    The purpose of those classes, especially Statistics, is that once you have a BSN you'll be able to read studies and make choices in evidence based practice. You won't be out on the floor every day...
