  1. What are helpful hesi exit materials?

    mrmedical replied to chariot's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Saunders is pretty much the gold standard. When I took it (scored in the 99th precentile with JUST using Saunders) I felt - and a lot of my peers agreed with me - that it was a mixture of very brain...

  2. Anything in nursing that leans more toward the medical science aspect?

    mrmedical posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've been a floor nurse for 1.5 years graduated with my ADN and currently working on my BSN which should be completed within a year and a half. Several times I've considered stopping the BSN track and...

    For those of you with experience of have matriculated to any of these schools, can anybody remark on any that have great instructors, good science-based course work, and a supportive and educationally...

  5. Need advice Nurse or Doctor

    mrmedical replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in Nursing Career

    I asked myself this same question in college and the advice from my peers and doctors and nurses was the same: if you really want an MD or DO go for it. Don't go through nursing school just to apply...

  6. Any NP schools in FL with good medical science foundation?

    mrmedical replied to mrmedical's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the inspiration. I'm just gonna finish up my BSN strong; since it's mostly been papers I've been able to pull A's all the way through, hopefully get my undergrad GPA to something...

  7. The War On Fat

    mrmedical replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    This has to be a troll or just in denial. Even if you didn't suffer any comorbidities due to obesity, there are millions of others that do. Musculoskeletal damage, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular...

  8. I'm a nurse...for animals?

    mrmedical replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    In the UK, vet techs are called vet nurses. Before I was an RN I was a RVT and when people asked what my job description was I told them I was a nurse for animals because that is what the common...

  10. Lasix IVP IV rate vs PICC rate

    mrmedical posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Just something can jumped into my head today about pushing Lasix; do you change the speed at which it's administered depending on the site of entry ie peripheral IV versus a PICC or central line? For...

  11. Using nursing "jargon" in charts and support plans

    mrmedical replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    Seems kind of foolish to dumb down medical vernacular, I was under the impression that all healthcare employees had some basic Medical Terminology course. That is unless I'm confusing it with nursing...

  12. IV flulids/solutions and WHY??

    mrmedical replied to Tsatalstrana's topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP is asking why patients are getting a variety of normotonic crystalloids; such as why the doctor would prescribe NS versus LR or Normosol. I think a lot has to do with prescriber...

  13. Evidence-Based Practice...your thoughts

    mrmedical replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it is probably the new "buzz" as previous posters had said. I don't have any qualms with it other that it seems a little pretentious. I just hope that it doesn't devovle nursing or...

  14. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    mrmedical replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to be demeaning. But it is a truly vexing situation to me in that it seems like a "do as I say, not as I do" type of care that some are giving. I understand that it is a serious issue...

  15. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    mrmedical replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    What really gets me is we do all this patient teaching and education, assessing indications, and evaluating therapies for all these medications and supposedly work to get these patients to a...

  16. I'm a bad man. Someone help me.

    Have you talked to an

  17. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    mrmedical replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not to digress, but I think it's good that studentdrtobe is on AllNurses... it's not an exclusive membership site. And truth be told, he/she is probably more knowledgeable about medical school and...

  18. Sexual Harrashment towards Men in the nursing profession!

    mrmedical replied to Ev1987's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yes, because that is the patient population that I see most and has the highest incidence of acute hospitalization in which I interact with on a daily basis. It would be erring to misconstrue that...

  19. Sexual Harrashment towards Men in the nursing profession!

    mrmedical replied to Ev1987's topic in Men in Nursing

    I would say, for me, if I heard it maybe one time during my shift and it was all in good nature, I would say most wouldn't even think twice. Eventually, depending on how big the staff is and how long...

  20. Sexual Harrashment towards Men in the nursing profession!

    mrmedical replied to Ev1987's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think, speaking as a man, that it is important to distinguish that there is a line between flirtation (such as endearing talk especially if you see these people every day) in the work place and...

  21. Caught between working as a NP or MDS coordinator

    mrmedical replied to JenDandy's topic in General Nursing

    Why not do MDS until you deliver plus a couple months or years until you get the family matters ironed out, then just apply for your NP certification then? Or is there a time limit you must meet to...

  22. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    mrmedical replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    with all due respect, my listed credentials on this website do not simply invalidate my point. an appeal to accomplishment is a basic logical fallacy. for all you know i may or may not have advanced...

  23. Inappropriate relationship with pt?

    mrmedical replied to DeeDee*'s topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What about after a patient came in for acute illness and was discharged and a length of time later you run in to them in public and things take off from there? Even in a nonromantic manner. Always a...

  24. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    mrmedical replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In my opinion, and this is going to offend more than a few people, but our perceptions and views of advanced nursing education and it's value in a field such where the main objective is managing...

  25. The Mockery of Nursing

    mrmedical replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't have any good examples but someone should make one with the token "moral crusader" student/nurse who takes it upon themselves to get on coworkers/patients
