  1. Trouble graduating

    scribblerpnp replied to julieGN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to say, vut Elkpark has it right. I am a faculty member, and though it totally stinks that no one got back to you, it was still your responsibility to ensure the credits would transfer prior to...

  2. Job offer-why are they so cheap?

    scribblerpnp replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes! an RN shortage makes the RN pay higher, but here in my area, there is NO NP shortage. Jobs are competitive, and so NP salaries can be lower and those for an RN. Especially for RN's who have been...

  3. Parent Pet Peeves

    scribblerpnp replied to ICRN2008's topic in Pediatric

    I think you work at my

  4. The dreadful money question

    scribblerpnp replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As previous people mentioned, depending on the the area where you work, productivity may not be very beneficial especially if you are going to depend on it. If you are working somewhere where you...

  5. Job offer-why are they so cheap?

    scribblerpnp replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Right now, I would expect a lot on RN to NP's very well take a cut in pay due to the nursing shortage. It is pretty common where I live. From what you have said about the contract, here is what I see...

  6. Is this wrong? Death and Dying

    scribblerpnp replied to Karynica, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nursing instructor as well and teach growth and development. One of my lectures covers death and dying too. You were not in the wrong describing your loss and feelings attached to it so long as...

  7. NP's calling themselves MD's

    scribblerpnp replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nurse practitioner and work in a private office. Whenever the staff makes an appointment with a pt for me they usually say, "Would you like to see our nurse practitioner, Xsss?" When I...

  8. Most outrageous thing your hospital has expected you to do.

    scribblerpnp replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    At my first job as a nurse practitioner, I was told by my boss, who was the owner of the practice AND an MD, that if the patient had insurance and implied that they wanted abx (even if it wasn't...

  9. Students with No Teachers

    scribblerpnp replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I haven't read the article, but surely there is someone out there who finds this a little strange. Is it in the best interest of the students to have physicians teaching nursing courses? I'm fine if...

  10. If you weren't a nurse what other job would you like to do?

    scribblerpnp replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Ooop! I just now noticed the OP wanted other opportunities in health care. Well, I would be a child life specialist. I don't know if they pay is any good, but the CLS's I worked with seeme dto have an...

  11. Nurse Practioners, what are your hours/schedules like?

    scribblerpnp replied to gbarrera2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The university where I received my master's had a BSN to PhD program. I am really kicking myself in the butt over not doing that now! But at the time I never thought I would be in teaching. The only...

  12. Insults to the midlevel professions

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

    Reading about these other horrendous doctors makes me realize even more how lucky I am. My collaborationg doc is great! Leaves me alone and lets me do my job, but is there when I need the help. We...

  13. Nurse Practioners, what are your hours/schedules like?

    scribblerpnp replied to gbarrera2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a part time PNP and a full time nurse instructor. I teach in a four year BSN program. At my college, I can not teach at the MSN level because I would need a doctorate to do that. I do guest...

  14. forced vaccines

    scribblerpnp replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with other posters. This is not legal;. I bet the NM was bluffing and trying to scare people into getting the vaccine. I doubt the legal department is involved yet. It is probably something...

  15. If you weren't a nurse what other job would you like to do?

    scribblerpnp replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    If money were not an issue and a successfull career would be a given I would be either: A. A children's librarian B. A children's book author What I would really like to do is stay at home all day and...

  16. Which types of patients should I not take care of while pregnant?

    scribblerpnp replied to RN 4 U's topic in General Nursing

    It might be a good idea to go to the doctor or health department and have your MMR and chicken pox titers drawn to see if you are adequately protected. That is not harmful to the baby, though it isn't...

  17. The Dark Side

    scribblerpnp posted a topic in Gastroenterology

    My mother is having an ERCP tomorrow afternoon to determine if the jaundice she started with over the weekend is the result of a poorly placed gallstone OR the 1 inch "thickening of the pancreas" the...

  18. Liquids to thin mucus

    scribblerpnp replied to michael79's topic in General Nursing

    I know that tea and coffee have a small amount of theophylline, which is a bronchodilator. I remember my med surg teacher telling us that it could help COPD patients a little- i.e. better than nothing...

  19. Policy on leaving AMA w/baby?

    scribblerpnp replied to cherokeesummer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my post I stated, "If there IS an issue," Meaning the health of the baby or safety of the baby was a concern. If the child/mom was healthy (as in the case of the OP), an AMA or d/c is OK, and...

  20. Policy on leaving AMA w/baby?

    scribblerpnp replied to cherokeesummer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If there IS an issue, and the doctor (pediatrician or whom ever is the primary for the baby) believed the infant (or child) was in danger, CPS can be notified, in which case the infant would stay...

  21. Help with pediatric clinic

    scribblerpnp replied to Cinthyaisabel's topic in General Nursing

    In my office, most of the drug reps that come in have meds that are covered by Medicaid (so the pts don't pay a penny). Actually, it is more difficult for the rep if their meds aren't covered by...

  22. NNP vs PNP vs FNP..which one is for me???

    scribblerpnp replied to FL NICU RN's topic in General Nursing

    For the PNP certification, I received mine for http://www.pncb.org. I looked on the website, and they didn't have anything about FNP to PNP that I could find, so maybe they won't do the FNP to PNP...

  23. Help with pediatric clinic

    scribblerpnp replied to Cinthyaisabel's topic in General Nursing

    I'll address the drug rep question. To get a drug rep to visit, the primary care provider has to be willing to spend time with them. Also, you have to notify the drug company that you want them to...

  24. NNP vs PNP vs FNP..which one is for me???

    scribblerpnp replied to FL NICU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I also forgot to mention: I also managed the care of our patients when they were admitted to the hospital and managed care of newborns in the hospital from the time they were delivered until they were...

  25. NNP vs PNP vs FNP..which one is for me???

    scribblerpnp replied to FL NICU RN's topic in General Nursing

    What is best for you is how much you want to limit yourself age-wise. I am a PNP, this means that BASICALLY (and there are extending circumstances) I am capable of managing it-patient and out patient...
