  1. Advanced Patho Vs. Pharm

    Teacher First replied to nightnurse279's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I took Advanced Assessment and Pharm at the same time. I think if I had added Patho at the same time I would have caved. I was working full-time

  4. Need advice from any university of Houston-Victoria second degree BSN students

    Teacher First replied to carrie380's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't want to get into a long explanation (and I do not teach for UH), but the BON can make visits to schools for many reasons. Sometimes the school can ask for the visit as well. I am sure that the...

  6. Any insight on Centura?

    Teacher First replied to Liz520's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Argo, are you currently working in Vail? I have often dreamed of working there....would love to work there in the summer! Do you know if they have "seasonal"

  7. Asking for Opinion/Advice from TEXAS

    Teacher First replied to JUDERN-BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously you should all invoke safe harbor. Safe harbor protects your license from sanction during the time the issue is undergoing peer review, but it does not protect you from civil liability. When...

  8. How long was your NP program?

    Teacher First replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Mine was a post master's program.....started in August 2007 and finished in May 2009 while working full-time. I got so little sleep that I think I really hurt my brain! Took about a year to "recover."...

  10. Is APN realistic at my age?

    Teacher First replied to Mudwoman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went back to school in 2007 at 53 for a post-master's FNP. I finished last year and passed certification just after my 57th birthday. I think I have a lengthy career ahead of me, so I say "Go for...

  11. AANP Certfication Exam ( I failed it)

    Teacher First replied to ERandAestheticFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Please don't feel like a failure, it is a tough test. I have been a nurse full-time for 33 years and have worked in critical ICUs and almost 20 years in the ER, as well as having taught for over 26...

  12. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    Teacher First replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    I am more disturbed by the OP's reaction than I am to the patient calling him. I think you need to get a grip, and learn to manage your own emotional response to such situations. I would not want you...

  13. Does Anyone Know Anything About Nix Hospital In San Anotonio?

    Teacher First replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just a chuckle,...I was born there 56+ years ago. I didn't know it was still there! Good luck! There are many nice places to live, just ask around. As noted before, there are many nice parks, shopping...

  14. Friedman Assessment Model (anyone have the long form)

    Teacher First replied to bambam1288's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I hated this assignment!! Our teachers did not help at all with this, I had to search like crazy to find it. I have been a teacher for 27 years and I have never left a student "hanging" to find a...

  15. help me with answers to test

    Teacher First replied to RobynL's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that if we give you the answers you will be less likely to read the rationale that goes along with gaining the knowledge. Looking up the information not only will garner the answer but also...

  16. TWU Houston NP Program

    Teacher First replied to hunnybaby24's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My Master's degree was a pilot project that they did back in 1988 in Family with education track, no advanced practice for me at that time (it was available, I just didn't think I would ever use it,...

  17. TWU Houston NP Program

    Teacher First replied to hunnybaby24's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I completed a post master's program for FNP from TWU, and thought I was well prepared. Of course, I am the type who works myself silly to do well wherever I am. I think that most of the time one takes...

  20. I work with a DUMB nurse!

    Teacher First replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I am not as concerned about the person's crazy stories as I am about the unsafe care she gives, and the perceived incompetence. Document as was noted by someone else on here, and follow the chain of...

  21. Any ideas how to pass medsurg?

    Teacher First replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    Try to read and study for overall comprehension, then work on application of knowledge to scenarios. Check to see what kind of computer programs your college has to help you as well as online services...

  22. Teaching to Nursing

    Teacher First replied to HeyNow1986's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should investigate the possibilities. You said that the teaching shortage is a sham, and I will tell you that many nurses will tell you that the nursing shortage is a sham. However, I...

  25. I bet they thought they hushed everything up.

    Teacher First replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I think the most serious point is to reiterate the importance of not discussing patient care issues in public (or anywhere for that matter!) It doesn't say, but patient names might have been revealed,...
