RN-DC BSN

I am in year 2 of 3 BSN-DNP program that does not award a master's after completing all core competencies. We are finished with the core competencies, clinical requirements, and I have passed the boards! However, I have 1 year before I can practice, ...

I am in my second of three years of a BSN-DNP program and I'll be eligible to sit for the AANP sometime late May (of this year) or later, as I'll have completed all clinicals and all core didactic classes for the MSN part of the program. I don't know...

Thank you for this, unfortunately I don't qualify for that, as I won't have a master's degree. I've checked several of these fellowships, and all have to be licensed NPs

I have been accepted for a preceptorship at a Minute Clinic for my first FNP Family Practicum. I'm grateful that I have this, but am also considering holding out to see what my school can find in terms of an Urgent Care preceptorship (the school plac...

Thank you! I think I will take it 🙂

It's long, I apologize in advance Went to do a SOC today and the patient's house was not only a home that was tough to walk in due to the hoarding (which doesn't bother me. I've been in several hoarders homes), and realized within a minute that the p...

I know this is an old post, but it came up on my search. I am in the same boat you were in 2013. I really want the dual MPH/FNP degree as I want to work for the same companies, or at least in the types of areas these companies work in. However, it ap...

Does anyone have any info on UAPs assisting with clean intermittent caths in schools? I am a school nurse, but am only part time for a school that includes children with medical and special needs. We have a child with spina bifida who requires a CIC ...

What if there isn't an HHA or CNA. Are you allowed to train teachers?

I am looking to find what procedures can be done by an RN in Maryland. I've browsed MD's practice act, but it is understandably massive. How do I find what procedures an aesthetic RN can do in MD? I've looked for an email contact at the board of nurs...

Hi, how much autonomy do you have in your school? Do you have someone you answer to other than administration? Do you have a medical director or nurse manager? If not, who do you go to for medical related questions? Thanks in advance.

Is there any chance you can send me a blank form of your check off list?

I should add, I keep a copy of my state's Nurse practice act, and have gone through it thoroughly to make sure I'm within my scope of practice for interventions I do, however the NPA is pretty vague for early intervention/preschool.

So I am the school nurse for a daycare/preschool. I answer to administration, but don't have a medical point of contact. I do keep documentation on kids I see (not for every temp I take or diaper rash I look at, but for more major medical issues) and...

Thanks for the info! What is all included in your monthly reports that you turn in?

I am in Excelsior's RN-BSN program and am struggling on which course to take. General statistics (mat 201) or Statistics for health care professionals (mat 215). I have limited math experience - algebra many years ago and am nervous about this course...

Just started. I'm in informatics right now. Good advice on the masters level writing. I was just about to register for the 15 week writing for professionals, but I was also thinking 15 weeks is going to feel like it's dragging on. I'll check into the...

Thank you!!

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

This sounds horrible Maura. I'm so sorry you've been through all of that. Thanks to all of you for your comments, suggestions, and opinions. Update on the original situation: I had a change of heart over night after reading some of the comments and ...

That is a strong statement to make not knowing much about me nor my work. As I stated above, the agency wasn't able to get ANY other nurse to take it once they heard of the conditions of the home. Nurses who have done this for years refused the case.

I am PRN. I can refuse any case I want. I'm not worried about that at all.

I agree. That is why I'm so bothered by it. I know he needs it, and he was so grateful. I have just never felt so uncomfortable in someones house. It's not just the bugs, there are other factors that go into me being uncomfortable in this house, but ...

Caliotter3, I'm sorry to hear you live in infested housing. That is horrible. This pt however owns his home, so there is no landlord to contact.
