  1. Sitter to escort patient during smoke breaks.

    Rnis replied to cna1234's topic in General Nursing

    That is actually a safety risk for nursing staff. I used to have to do that years ago as a CNA and then policy changed due to the environmental risk to staff being exposed to

  2. Would you stay?

    Rnis replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    A sarcastic person that says I'm needy would not make me think twice. I would just say "I know, right? thank goodness you're here to help" I once was sitting in my office and one of the nurses was...

  3. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    Rnis replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a progressive area and i generally have multiple men in each clinical rotation. I have even had one clinical rotation where men were the majority. I don't have data to back up my...

  4. FNP Made to Work Alone?

    Rnis replied to AnaLong's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't think it is acceptable that you have to use your vacation. I think they will do what they can get away with, since you have accepted taking vacation time or rooming patient's they are going...

  5. FNP Made to Work Alone?

    Rnis replied to AnaLong's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's totally unreasonable and that would be a dealbreaker for me. I honestly don't even know where the vaccines are and have never been in a role to administer them. I sometimes see 20 patients a...

  6. A complaint against an NP

    Rnis replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think that is very fair feedback. I also think talking to the provider to give feedback could be

  7. NP Employment Contract. I WANT TO LEAVE!

    Rnis replied to BlueRN95's topic in Advanced Practice

    That is insane... I wouldn't know how to do

  8. Would you stay?

    Rnis replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would not move on but I would try to make it a workable environment. The probability that a job change will results in a 30 dollar an hour cut should be a powerful motivator to improve the work...

  9. Dilemma! Help please!!

    Rnis replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    Do what you want. It might be hard to leave that specialty if you change your mind in a few years....but most of those nurses seem to want to

  10. FNP in Hospital Setting

    Rnis replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    This was drilled into me when I as in grad school that the FNP is not the appropriate training for the acute care role. It's not that you can't get a job....but if you are sued, the consensus model...

  11. Overturning a grade is it possible?

    Rnis replied to Misscruella's topic in General Students

    It sounds like the instructor that makes the decision with input from the nursing team. Honestly from the brief examples you give......people have been failed for less. Learn from this and become a...

  12. Would you be willing to walk away?

    Rnis replied to Rnis's topic in Advanced Practice

    At least for my certifying body, you only need to work 1000 hours every 5 years and meet the CME requirements

  13. Would you be willing to walk away?

    Rnis posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Hypothetical question. If you were happy in your NP role but were encouraged by a company to apply for a Non-NP position that would compensate similarly but require less hours a week and give more...

  14. PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

    Rnis replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    If you are primarily wanting to teach.....get a PHD. I do think if you specifically a want non-tenure you would have to explain why you don't want a tenure position . The DNP is a practice

  15. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    Rnis replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Hoping this is a joke/troll. I am predicting you make it 6 months with this job before you don't get a full 30 minute break and stomp off the floor. But on the off chance you are being for real and...

  16. Unhappy and stressed as NP- seeking advice.

    Rnis replied to hm0225's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Great advice! It takes more time, but I try to type out the specific signs and symptoms including any worsening symptoms and the time parameter for follow up on both the AVS and the chart. It is...

  17. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    Rnis replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    I also think that once your used to making the decisions it would be really hard to go back to delegated tasks. ( I also think in hindsight the OP may be surprised to find that his perception of the...

  18. Lab Coat Initials

    Rnis replied to OncRN2015's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have never had a choice..

  19. Cert or not to Cert

    Rnis replied to QEOLAdvocate's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't think you need a certification for the hospice NP role.....maybe trial that

  20. Years of RN experience before NP

    Rnis replied to NewOncNurseRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think having a foundation is fine. They never inquired about years of experience just a little overview of areas I had experience

  21. How much in loans do you suggest

    Rnis replied to direw0lf's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I personally didn't take out any loans for my masters, and am not taking any out for my DNP. My jobs have always reimbursed some and I usually pick up a side gig to fund the rest. Nurse...

  22. NP Career advice after staying home with kids

    Rnis replied to RN2030's topic in Advanced Practice

    Also, do you want to be a nurse practitioner? maybe consider teaching or using DNP in another

  23. NP Career advice after staying home with kids

    Rnis replied to RN2030's topic in Advanced Practice

    3 years old degree, with no experience in the role...……..that is tough sell. Get your certification (I think you will have to take a pharmaceutical course again) and then apply for jobs anywhere...

  24. Bullying / Hostile Work Environment

    Rnis replied to jaznia15's topic in Advanced Practice

    So if I am gathering right the prison contracts your services from the hospital and thus they want to make sure they are getting their "full 10 hours" . You are required to go through security so you...

  25. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    Rnis replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    ...............okay you didn't. while unusual, I am guessing that perhaps her references left some questions about where her skills will lie or they recently got burned after relocating a
