  1. NP's are okay to see if you have a cold, BUT...

    scribblerpnp replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm so glad you said that! I thought I was the only one! And my co-worker MD, tells them to speak to me. (I love it that she backs me up) I also hate when I refer one of my pt's to an ENT, allergist,...

  2. Circ on a 2yr old?

    scribblerpnp replied to Danianne's topic in Pediatric

    I just wanted to say that while I was in PNP school I did an Out Pt rotation with a PNP who specialized in urology. Your little speech brought back a lot of memories! It seemed daily we were having...

  3. NP's are okay to see if you have a cold, BUT...

    scribblerpnp replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You would be surprised at the number of medical professionals who have never seen chicken pox. It doesn't always present as text book, and the rates have decreased since the vaccine came out. Most of...

  4. NP's are okay to see if you have a cold, BUT...

    scribblerpnp replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is SO true! I am blessed to work with a great pediatrician who is wonderful with team work. We both realize each others strengths and weaker areas and will consult one another or send our pts to...

  5. You know you are a PEDS nurse when...

    scribblerpnp replied to HU_nurse's topic in Pediatric

    You incorporate playing games in with your physical assessment! You've sat and played X-box during your break time with a chronically ill 8 year-old who can't sleep and whose parents have finally...

  6. Reporting abuse

    scribblerpnp replied to aka_steven's topic in General Nursing

    You can probably still tell them that. CPS may be able to tell you for sure if you are required to report. I'm figuring you are the only people that know about this abuse since you are positive the...

  7. Reporting abuse

    scribblerpnp replied to aka_steven's topic in General Nursing

    Legally, I'm not usre you are not required to report since this is not a client/nurse relationship. Though I would think that if it ever came out that you knew and did nothing, there would be...

  8. Anyone able to use a nursing degree and another degree?

    scribblerpnp replied to ncriverrat's topic in General Nursing

    I had a friend who was a nurse for Yellow Stone National Forestry for a few summers for a couple of years. Mainly it was first-aid kind of things and every once in a while she would assist...

  9. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    scribblerpnp replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read all the responses, so maybe someone mentioned this before. I think that with with the nursing shortage, there are a lot more openings in other areas that will take new grads that used...

  10. RN-BSN and Grad School easier than undergrad?

    scribblerpnp replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    1) It's usually concentrated on a specialty, so it's easier to focus. 2) You've had experience working as a nurse. 3) You already know how nursing school, care plans, and clinicals work. 4) Enrollment...

  11. Why FAST TRACK is wrong

    scribblerpnp replied to Email4KH's topic in Emergency

    I would like to make my complaint from a primary care provider point of view. I am continually amazed at the amount of our patients who go to fast track in the middle of the night and during our...

  12. Choosing the Right One

    scribblerpnp posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am definately wanting to go the Midwife route with pregnancy (in early stages of "we'll think about getting pregnant, but will actively try not to"). I am a nurse practitioner (peds only...

  13. Acceptance

    scribblerpnp replied to Anesthetist_to_be's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    YAY!!!!! I'm so happy for

  14. Another FNP vs ANP Question

    scribblerpnp replied to abcdefg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If the job market is tight, I would recommend doing the FNP route, UNLESS there is a need for internal med NP's since they almost only see adults. If you live in a very large city, there is a...

  15. should I mention this in an interview?

    scribblerpnp replied to iHeartNICU's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I wouldn't mention your kidney transplant unless you have specific needs such as can only lift so often or so many pounds, etc. There is nothing wrong with saying you were in the hospital...

  16. This is a VENTING Post!

    scribblerpnp posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Disclaimer: This is a venting post only and may very possibly irk/irritate/anger nursing students. Please don't post about how mean and unfair I am or how I don't understand how difficult it is to be...

  17. Giving Multiple Shots

    scribblerpnp replied to AlmostGolden's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a senior in nursing school I was bitten by a dog. The health department was going place the animal under quarentine, but "it ran away" per the owners (which I didn't believe). So I had to...

  18. Best Pediatric Hospital for new grad?

    scribblerpnp replied to royr's topic in General Nursing

    My vote is for Cincinnati Children's Hospital. They are top ten too. I worked there while obtaining my MSN degree straight out of a BSN program and loved it. Lots of choices for a new grad and a good...

  20. Paying For Grad School, Etc.

    scribblerpnp replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you can find hospitals willing to pay off loans if you work for them so long after graduation. I believe the state of KY is willing to pay off a percentage (large) of loans for each year you...

  21. Best reply for medication queries

    scribblerpnp replied to TheU's topic in General Nursing

    With generic drugs, the "active ingredients" are the same, but the "fillers" may be different. This can change dosing at times (Some thyroid medication generic and brand are VERY different in dosing)...

  22. Ugh! This was NO fun!!!

    scribblerpnp replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I got my flu shot (3rd year in a row today). Every other time I've gotten the flu-like symptoms, but they are mild and last less than 24 hours, so I can deal. But for the past three years, I still...

  23. Do you follow orders??

    scribblerpnp replied to Fairlythere's topic in General Nursing

    I was used to the occassional pass-on when I worked as a night shift nurse, especially if the unit was busy (and you could always tell if it had been busy when you came on). And not once did I care to...

  24. What's your Littmann stethescope of choice?

    scribblerpnp replied to dano's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've had both types and prefer the Cardiology III. I found it was less expensive to purchase on line than buying at a store. For me, I needed an stethoscope that worked well for peds/infants/ and...

  25. Quick question?

    scribblerpnp replied to thsnursluvsgeriatric's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This completely made me laugh! I know you that you are talking about your pets, but I immediately thought of something else. Just shows how even occassionally working on a teenage sex offender unit...
