jeepgirl LPN, NP

Hello! I am interested in completing my DNP or my PhD (I am actually leaning towards the PhD, as I want it to teach). Anyway, does anyone have any advice on this? Programs I can complete from a distance are probably good. I have kids and a family, an...

Anyone go to any of their programs for grad school - NP? Was it worth the cost to you or would a state school have sufficed? Thanks in advance!

HI! We are running up against some issues were administration is becoming very - focused on collections and revenue. I work in a government type setting. As a NP, I see anywhere from 14 (slow days) to approximately 20 patients per day (sometimes mor...

Hello! I am trying to look online for reputable info on nurse practitioner salary info, but I am not finding any! Some of it is saying that, for instance, an NP is going to start out at like 95k and I know that I have not seen ANY entry level NP jobs...

um, have you seen anyones 401k or 403b's lately anyone who was within ten years of retirement - is now screwed. so... they will have to continue working even if they had planned on retiring the minute of retirement age. so, no - i dont think that re...

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the friction and breakdown of the latex proteins.

and that is for a new graduate?

Don't double glove - it weakens the integrity of the glove...

this is true. it can cause a worsening of the asthmatic state as well... pretty much try not to give asthmatics nsaids if you can help it.

if i was sure that was what was happening - i would have came out and told her - YOU WILL DIE and i would have told her the patho behind that.

thats overkill! i agree, wash them on hot with soap - run then with a prewash if you want - and dry on hot.

**** - are you kidding? no way i wouldn't have done my NP program if they made us do that... they hired people at our university to do our pelvic "experience". i heard they got paid like 250 bucks for the 2 hours it took... we did it after hours at a...

i did both my nursing education and my np at the same time. it was only 12 extra hours to do the nursing ed on top of the np. hope this helps...

Go to Lane Bryant. They have good bras there and can fit you professionally.

i had an improperly given ventrogluteal injection last january in a physicians office - i won't let anyone in that office ever touch me there again. i wasn't paying attention has i have had tons of ventrogluteal injections before... if i had, i would...

you give it in the ventrogluteal or dorsogluteal but never the deltoid - and you always aspirate!

some antibiotics need to run in at a certain rate to reach a theraputic concentration in the blood stream / body. i would run at the recommended rates unless your supervising provider says otherwise OR someone who has authority and who is supervising...

if you decide not to wear a bra you should at least wear an undershirt... but when i first read this i thought - its none of their business!! lol! but i always wear at least an undershirt (with a bra!) because when you bend over you always give a sho...

i had a patient allergic to "meat". yes, meat. he actually went to an allergist - and they had us put on his chart "allergic to meat".

I totally agree with you! I went to my graduate school graduation this past May, and all the new grads - even the graduation speaker for the undergrads - talked about how they could "go anywhere and get jobs." Ha! Well, where I am, we just laid off ...

i also took zofran "off label" from the chemo association. i took it for hyperemesis during my pregnancy. it worked wonderfully, but it was very expensive. finally i got an override from my insurance company, because they only allowed 8-10 pills a mo...

Phenergan is black boxed, not zofran. We gave it in peds all the time.

what the heck - what job is this that the nurses are making 55 bucks an hour staff? i looked at jobs for travel and most topped out at 40 an hour... GEEZ?!?!

that is STUPID! OMG! i would have said "i'll go pick some up later, but is it critical right now? so and so has been waiting for three hours." she may have felt that you tried to "one up" her by telling her she was wrong in front of a patient. oh we...
