  1. I Have a Bad Feeling About This Student - Am I Over-reacting?

    LisaDNP replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard of a situation similar to this where the School Nurse had to go to the School Board before any action was taken. I think you have a duty to keep advocating for this child or to find someone...

  2. No job and license renewal comes up?

    LisaDNP replied to RNman09's topic in General Nursing

    Please please please do not let your license lapse....even if you have to pick up aluminum cans to pay for the renewal...do not let your license

  3. Unprofessional School Orientation

    LisaDNP replied to Dakovich's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really? I had no idea things were that bad. My husband works for a one of the large freight carriers and although they have had a cut in their hours, things are still fairly static for us. He's a...

  4. Unprofessional School Orientation

    LisaDNP replied to Dakovich's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Totally OT but I have to ask why "professional airline pilot" is in RN school. I'm a FNP working full time. My husband is a pilot and he makes 3x what I make! Going from being a pilot to a RN makes...

  5. Dismissed from Nursing school

    LisaDNP replied to cristinb4's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think it's impossible to judge when we obviously do not have the whole

  6. So very mad!!!

    LisaDNP replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    I answered B for all too. I didn't think the questions were all that hard, but I haven't been studying a book that acknowledged some of the other

  7. If No Luck Trying to Straight Cath, Obtain Urine Sample from the Wet Pad?

    LisaDNP replied to Zen123's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, now I have truly heard it

  8. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    LisaDNP replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    Elkpark, you're right. I forgot the CNM in my original post. I think the CNL is a generalist type masters and not considered an advanced practice nurse. Sorry for the

  9. What does an NP do when they move

    LisaDNP replied to tee67's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Pretty much, it's no big deal. Most BONs just want $$$ to change your license to their state, but remember that each state is different and the things you could do in one state may be against the...

  10. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    LisaDNP replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't understand what's confusing or scary. Perhaps you can elaborate. NP/CNS/CRNA/CNL require a MSN (as far as I know). If you do some research, you'll see that any NP/CRNA programs require more...

  11. An Average Day for a Psychiatric NP

    LisaDNP replied to luckylady5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Smitty, I see you're a FNP and a PMHNP. Which did you do first? If you were a FNP first, how long did it take to get your PMHNP?

  12. Fall 2009 Graduate school roll call!!!

    LisaDNP replied to love-d-OR's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My turn! 1) Chatham University 2) DNP 3) Continuing to work full time 4) I'm classified as a part time student 5) Hoping to finish by May

  13. Can a nurse be on a pot card?

    LisaDNP replied to Shallow Water's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    OP, I hope you're still reading. First, let me say welcome home and thank you for your service to our country. Now, sit down. Bottom line, you are self-medicating. PTSD is not a problem you should...

  14. A personal NP vs PA debate

    LisaDNP replied to Renny03's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Read the article in this month's Clinician Reviews on Hospitalists. Clinician Reviews is a peer-reviewed journal for both NPs and PAs, so there should be no bias.

  15. Any CNL program grads out there?

    LisaDNP replied to Jaysie1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm uncertain...Are you a nurse or in nursing

  16. Petite Nurses

    LisaDNP replied to Littlemisslizzie's topic in General Nursing

    Petite nurses are usually awesome at kneeling on the pts bed while doing CPR. When I worked in CVICU and we had a pt go bad and had to go back to the OR, our tiniest nurse would be the one to do...

  17. OMG...AANP Certification Sample Questions are horrible

    LisaDNP replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you took the GRE and made it through NP school successfully, I think you'll find the certification exam very anticlimactic. No one from my cohort failed. Don't worry,

  18. DNP at Chatham ?

    LisaDNP replied to akoster's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Please, if anyone knows of a DNP program that is "accredited," post it here. I haven't seen any program that uses that terminology in their descriptions. Accreditation is critical to be eligible for...

  19. DNP at Chatham ?

    LisaDNP replied to akoster's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I know the university is accredited but I'm not sure is any DNP program is accedited yet. I was accepted at several programs, even one that is local, but Chatham looked like the most realistic of the...

  21. My Name is BlueHenRN and I Almost Ate my Young Today

    LisaDNP replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    Stop, take a deep breath and remember that the new interns will be out on July 1st. They are much more fun to chomp

  22. Where Do People Dream This Stuff Up?

    LisaDNP replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "No, I'm not a diabetic." " I have naturally high blood sugar." "Those lab numbers don't apply to me." Or how about this... "I control my blood sugar by drinking water." "It flushes out the extra...

  23. Distance learning-DNP

    LisaDNP posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm accepted into a DNP program starting in the fall 2009. I've never done distance learning, only a few telecourses (dating myself!) while getting my BSN. I know some of you are passionate about your...

  24. Distance learning-DNP

    LisaDNP replied to LisaDNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm so sorry you feel that way! I've never had a bad experience with any of my classmates- diploma, RN to BSN, MSN-FNP. My classmates enhanced my learning, especially in the BSN and MSN portions. We...

  25. Distance learning-DNP

    LisaDNP replied to LisaDNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Do you get to know your "classmates" when you're in distance learning? Having strong relationships with my cohorts has always affected my ability to see things more clearly and from other points of...
