    Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    zenman replied to EGspirit's topic in Nursing

    Because your body is shot after a few years of lifting patients, walking miles down long hallways, etc., etc.

    I'm glad I have never rx'd xanax

    zenman replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in Advanced

    This is pretty much it. Maybe the shooter needed a higher dose, but I suspect meds are not responsible for the planning and carrying out of this deed.

    Get him to ask his buddies what life is like when you mess with a woman's dream.

    Call his wife and ask her if she has any suggestions for how he is treating you. Or if you start talking "hostile workplace" to management he may be gone fast.

    Where do you work as an NP?

    zenman replied to kaylom9's topic in NP

    I work for the Army cause there's nothing I like better than getting up early every morning and hoping I made the ISIS hit list.

    Mid Level practitioner best for surgery.

    zenman replied to apjacobs's topic in NP

    You can work in Kroger meat market and do all kinds of surgery. Don't have to worry about malpractice either.

    Can Psych NPs wear suits to work?

    zenman replied to kj954's topic in NP

    Your upscale client might be a different matter, but in my extensive career, 40 + years, I've never seen anyone wear a white coat on a psych unit. It's actually dangerous. Hope you don't also wear a tie.

    Can Psych NPs wear suits to work?

    zenman replied to kj954's topic in NP

    Are you kidding me? Donald Trump wears a suit. Psych people, even those with an MBA like me would never think of wearing a suit. That's about as bad as wearing a white coat on an inpatient unit. I mostly wear camping pants with a button up shirt with a front pocket to put my CAC in. On Fridays I wear blue jeans. This reminds me of the idiot manager who wanted staff to wear suits in an inner city community mentor health center. Yea, dress up and make patients feel more like losers….

    Question about meds

    zenman replied to russianbear's topic in NP

    It's not so much trial and error as to which one to use as it is how will the patient and drug get along.

    My I'm going to medical school

    You think he needs to take an IQ test first?

    As a former Level 1 trauma, nurse, helicopter flight nurse, ICU, etc., etc., I can say that psych beats them all. Opening the airway and stopping up leaking holes is nothing compared to the human psyche. Everyday is so interesting I can hardly stand it. Oh, did I mention the boring 6 months I spent in the OR with Denton Cooley?

    I'll bet you don't have a max of 12 patients a day either which is what I'm busting $200k on

    I think you mean that you don't do therapy but I use E&M plus psychotherapy codes for billing which may explain why I bring in double my revenue goals. But then, I am ZENMAN!

    What ever happened to these posters

    zenman replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced

    Oh, be quiet...
