  2. Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    LisaDNP replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm totally confused and this is not my first rodeo, so to speak! I applied for a post-masters program since I'm already a NP and also have my DNP. I applied to UAB because I could start (I thought)...

    LisaDNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    If anyone is willing to move, the Memphis VA is having a job fair 10-23-10. They are looking to hire RNs ONLY in many different specialty areas. In the advertizing, there is no mention of experience...

    LisaDNP replied to SashaO's topic in General Nursing

    OP, Be careful!! Don't burn any bridges! Write the letter you want to write but don't send it until someone objective as a chance to look it over for

    The University of South Alabama has a distance PMHNP program. What's going on in Florida?

  8. I'm allergic to.....(laundry list)!

    LisaDNP replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Kerry, While an ACE cough is not an allergy it is a very annoying side effect some patients have from taking ACE-I. Another class of medication should be prescribed for HTN if an ACE causes a...

  9. PMHNP in Private Practice

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

    I'm a FNP and the longer I practice, the more I realize that everything comes down to psych. Any physical illness can cause mental stress and vice versa. My FNP program was sorely lacking in psych...

  10. Can you work under temporary permit as NP? (pending cert exam)

    LisaDNP replied to Blessedx3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it depends on the state you're practicing in. Some allow a new NP to practice for a specific time frame while getting certified. Other states require certification before you can practice as a...

  11. MD, DO, NP, DC, OD -- Who deserves the title Physician?

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

    Should the PhD prepared nursed take an exam to prove him or herself? I took a certification exam and passed it. I'm not a physician. I'm a nurse practitioner. When I complete my DNP, I can be...

  12. what will happened to MSN NPprograms in 2015

    LisaDNP replied to greatgirl123's topic in Post Graduate Students

    ->>>>>Also- just saying that it will happen doesn't make it so. It's a similar issue with the push to phase out ADN programs. States have tried it on occasion (and failed), but it is up...

  13. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    LisaDNP replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Another nurse/pilot couple here. I'm a NP and my husband makes about 3x what I make. He also works less hours than I

  14. Should I renew my licence now?

    LisaDNP replied to zakuro's topic in General Nursing

    NEVER EVER let your license expire even if you have to pick up aluminum cans to pay the renewal

  15. Night shift my only choice as a new hire?

    LisaDNP replied to swayman2202's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to be rude, but usually seniority rules...and you have none.

  16. Knowledge or Information Hoarding

    LisaDNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm interested in hearing any of your experiences with nurses or other medical personnel deliberately not sharing important information that could or did have an effect on patient care. I know I've...

  17. Knowledge or Information Hoarding

    LisaDNP replied to LisaDNP's topic in General Nursing

    right, and of course that is not what i was referring to at all. i can't tell you how many times a week i tell my son to "look it up" instead of giving him the answers! i'm looking for incidents more...

  18. Knowledge or Information Hoarding

    LisaDNP replied to LisaDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Some examples of what I'm referring to are not giving complete information in order to make the other nurse look incompetent. Or knowing someone is going to do a procedure or give a medication...

  19. NP attire

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

    Thanks for the information! I've never heard that students should wear the shorter lab coat before. I wonder if it's a regional thing or if I'm just

  20. NP attire

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

    It's a faux pas to wear a long lab coat? I had no

  21. The VA's CPRS

    LisaDNP replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I agree with Missbecky that CPRS is great! It can do just about everything you may want or desire. I've also worked with Cerner in the past and the two systems are very comparable. Actually, I heard...

  22. Tripler Medical Center- New Grads?

    LisaDNP replied to JillyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You have a great attitude! I treasure the 3 1/2 years I had there. It was a hard transition but well worth it. I learned so much about many things. Living there is a great

  23. VA benefits, must have had my head in the sand.

    No matter how much you have or you make, a vet can be treated for any condition that is service connected at any

  24. Tripler Medical Center- New Grads?

    LisaDNP replied to JillyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck to you on getting a RN job in Hawaii! It was a totally different situation when I was there. Basically, a RN could write his or her own ticket. Just don't get discouraged and don't give up....

  25. Tripler Medical Center- New Grads?

    LisaDNP replied to JillyRN's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter at all where you take the NCLEX. If you want to take it in Hawaii to be with your husband, then do so. Don't work as a CNA for three years while you're in Hawaii. If you do this,...
