    What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

    turnforthenurse replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Based ONLY on information given, I would give the Lasix

    Why have you decided to become a NP and not a Doctor?

    turnforthenurse replied to Lightning90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A couple of things...the biggest thing is that as a future NP, I still get to be a nurse, and I enjoy being a nurse. Med school is LONG and hard...I didn't want to be in school for 8 years +...

    Advanced Pharmacology

    turnforthenurse replied to Bea Bea's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I found my advanced pharm class to be very difficult compared to my advanced patho class. I suggest forming a study group with no more than maybe 4-5 students, and make sure they are committed to...

    FNP preceptors in the Houston/South Houston area

    turnforthenurse replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thankfully, I received a call from a coordinator and I have a preceptor in the works. My school helps us find preceptors but only as a last resort. We have GNE but it will only last until sometime...

    FNP vs. AGNP??

    turnforthenurse replied to aya_inoue's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What do you want to do as an NP? I think FNP has more options, honestly. If you want to work in an urgent care or ER, FNP is really the way to go. There are ERs that don't really see kids - like...

    Finding a FNP clinical preceptor

    turnforthenurse replied to shell1983's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As others have mentioned, sometimes cold calling is all you can do! If you have local places in mind, the other thing I can suggest is to dress like you're going for an interview, bring copies of...

    Help with clinical goals

    turnforthenurse replied to Roseyposey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can anybody give me some ideas on clinical goals? I FINALLY found a clinical site for this upcoming semester - I'll be doing women's health/OB-GYN as my first clinical! I can't really think of...

    FNP pharm case study

    turnforthenurse posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was wondering if there are any NP students out there that can look at and critique my case study answers. I was never provided the correct answers for this case study despite reaching out to my...

    FNP pharm case study

    turnforthenurse replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree - but I can only work with the information I was given. And i'm surprised that PO works faster than IV, I thought it was the other way around! IV has 100% bioavailability and doesn't have to...

    FNP pharm case study

    turnforthenurse replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Cardioversion is an option, but this is my pharmacology course and the focus is pharmacological treatment vs. other interventions. When we were talking about treatment for VF, she focuses solely on...

    Calling report to the floor.

    turnforthenurse replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I'm appalled at the amount of shade I get whenever I try to call report to the floor. I used to work on the floor so I know what it's like to get that admission, especially when you're behind or when...

    Should I contact HR?

    turnforthenurse replied to turnforthenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your replies! Turns out there were some computer system issues so they were waiting to verify stuff. It still would have been nice of them to give me an update instead of me having to...

    turnforthenurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone, I recently interviewed for a job and was contacted by HR on Friday telling me that they were going to extend an offer but they needed to work on the "official" one. They asked for my...

    Need the real truth. Are all EDs like this?

    turnforthenurse replied to JR81's topic in Emergency

    I will say that some EDs are like this and others are not; some have a mix of these issues that you are describing. The ratios where I have worked have always been 1:4 except for where I currently...

    Triage Protocols

    turnforthenurse replied to ERRN4's topic in Emergency

    Our protocols are pretty basic. XRs for any obvious deformities/chest pain/SOB, CT w/o for AMS or suspected CVA and then of course the appropriate labs that come with those protocols, along with IV...

    We were doing this at a hospital I used to work at and it didn't last long. Then they only started doing it if someone really needed to go to the back like RIGHT
