3. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

   mrmedical replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   mrmedical replied to ivyleaf's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I'm kind of in the same spot you are. Been working the floor for a couple seasons now, and it's not enjoyable at all and I never feel at ease or comfortable. I mean I could do nursing in my sleep, but...

   mrmedical replied to Michaela, RN's topic in General Students

   I think MA's have a certifying or diploma to recognize competency. While many of the skills overlap, MA's have been bred to meet specific criteria for doctor's offices. They do some skills that...

8. A question for NP's - What if our school preceptorship isn't so great?

   mrmedical replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Can't you moonlight somewhere as a shadow or in a non-program affiliated fashion. At least you would get the experienc and exposure, and I'd wager that would count for so much more. I'd be time...

    mrmedical replied to dedicate's topic in Patient Medications

    I just got my HepB updated an Tdap in my R and L arms and the lady who did mine was awesome. I made sure my muscles were relaxed, and she darted me and injected the vaccine. Could hardly feel it. Less...

14. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

    mrmedical replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

    Just my opinion, OP, as I feel that I was once in that same boat. Have you considered PA school? It quite more scientifically oriented compared to nursing and is a masters level preparation. Bedside...
