anyone who has AANP membership can check for me how much the uptodate discount is? any other way to get uptodate cheaper for a student? thanks

thank you for all the advices. No, the clinical does not need to be done in a hospital, but I love hospital work and the I know that the hospitalist that agrees to precept me is a very good teacher, that's why I have worked so hard for this opportuni...

This is my first semester and I've learned my lesson. I was told that I need an ok from the executive administrator, she oversees all doctors and hirings, obviously clinical placement. The problem is that she is so busy that it's hard to reach her. C...

I'm enrolled part-time and is taking 6-7 credits per semester. I have a 10 weeks old and a three year old and works full time. I find it very manageable with theory classes only, not sure about clinical though. I guess it depends on your support syst...

I had a baby in July. 2 weeks ago I filled the draft schedule to go back to work after 11 weeks off but now I'd like to take full 12 weeks off (just not ready), just emailed my boss and will call later. The new schedule is supposed to be out end of d...

I am taking 12 weeks maternity leave in a couple of weeks, 6 weeks paid and 6 weeks unpaid. I'll use some PTO to cover insurance costs during the leave. The policy at our facility is that my current unit can hold me for 90 days. I'd like not to delay...

I have worked at my hospital for five years now and will graduate with my FNP in 2.5 years (part-time). I have applied for ICU in the adjacent university hospital but was told to work in their step down first. I also just found out that I am 6 weeks ...

It seems that you need to find a job that staff/MD are more supportive. Needy pts and rude MD are everywhere. Maybe a different type of nursing job? best luck.

It seems that this happens a lot recently. I work 7a to 730p, At 715-725 during shift change report, dr here to discharge pt, new admission got here, bed placement found a bed for transfer. I know if I'm the incoming nurse, I'll not expect the previo...

just wondering if Dopamine is infiltrated, how long it takes for the site to appear necrotic? It has been 7 hours, the site is not discolored and pt has no pain, but I heard it takes 24 hours. just worried. the site is bruised, but bruise did present...

I started my new RN job at a small community hospital since Jan 2015. I'm a new RN but has worked as a LPN in the same hospital for over three years. My training was short three weeks but the transition was easy because the only tasks I did not do as...

I'm a new grad. I need to make a decision regarding a job offer this Friday, I have been holding off the offer for two weeks. It's a tele floor in a small hospital where I worked for the past three years. It's a good floor to work on. The reason I ke...

I tend to forget if things are piled up. My advice is call right away, don't wait.

I live near the border of PA and WV and I'm an RN in PA. I did not apply for WV license. My question is will my resume be stopped in HR before reaching the unit hiring manager coz I don't have WV license? thank you!

I'm working on Saunders' book and came upon this question, a patient receiving NG tube feeding is experiencing stress and you suspect that she aspirated the feeding content. The answer is to suction. Just wonder how you suction this patient...my brai...

Thanks for the explanation. My question is how to ensure the suction tubing goes into the trachea instead of the esophageal? I know that when inserting a NG tube, you ask the pt to sip water to close the glottis. Can you explain the use of trumpet to...

I agree with others, ask for an orientation extension and hang on there for a few more months. Jobs are hard to find these days esp. for a new grad

I am 10 weeks pregnant and trying to wait till 2nd trimester to announce my pregnancy. I continue to take care of pts with MRSA VRE C-diff, I seldom refuse to help to pull a patient unless they are very obese. I try my best not to be treated differen...

I would call and consult a lawyer. Things like this happens a lot. To be honest, the easiest thing is to find another job.

I don't understand how I am asking too much. I never refused pts with MRSA,VRE, C-diff, never avoided lifting pts because I am familiar with these types of limitations. When it comes to iffy issues such as TB, radiation, would you risk your baby when...

I am indecisive regarding to which will be a better option for me (resource pool vs. a specific floor) and any input will be greatly appreciated. Resource pool Pro: great boss who is down to earth and pleasant to work with; no drama and politics; exp...

I worked 7a to 7p yesterday and three of my five patients are discharged. The ED usually hold their patients till shift change time so they don't need to get new patients, it happens all the time. Two of my three new admissions all came in at 7:15pm ...

CNA definitely

It is almost impossible to always equally distribute new admissions among nurses. Suppose the hall way is 200 ft, is it reasonable to expect a nurse at the end of the hall to admit a new patient in room 1 just to equally divide the new admissions? Ag...

So I may perceive the reasons wrong but it is true that a lot of our admissions on med-surg come on shift change time. Second, med-surg floor is such a fast paced floor where patient turn over is one or two days. I do not understand why it is justif...
