  3. Is a blood glucose of 455 ever "normal"?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gatoraims RN's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I like the fact that we use a sensitivity factor to dose novolog instead of a normal sliding scale. The sensitivity scale is based on the weight of the patient in kilograms. This is divided by 3000....

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Lucky724's topic in Agency Nurses

    I have also found GA pay rates very low. I would like to move after I get my np to a state that is not so

  5. Nursing jobs for RN's....still scarce ?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to pat8585's topic in Nursing Career

    Pay is not what it used to be--even for travel. I am concerned that after I get my np I will make less than what I used to make with my marketing

  6. I need one class not offered to graduate!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The class is Advanced adult nursing from adolescents to geriatrics. It has no clinical component. It is a 3 credit hour online course. If I do not get this course I am out of the program and wasted...

  8. How to survive orientation. Any advice?!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to FutureRN_NP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is completely normal. Where I work, they are cutting orientations even shorter. You are expected to funtion immediately. The reason is due to the costs of training new grads. Get some good...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

  10. Nursing shortage ?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    You need to google House Bill 1929. They want to bring in 20,000 nurses from overseas each year. This is because our government believes that a dire shortage exists, yet our own new grads cannot get...

  11. For the love of Pete.....Where are you?!

    gettingbsn2msn replied to APRN.'s topic in General Nursing

    Many of us have to keep complete anonymity. Our facilites do not even want their names mentioned on our facebook pages. Therefore, we cannot have our messages traced to our facilities. If I told...

  12. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One other idea for you younger students is to work in pharma or device sales and marketing. I have noticed that all of them have their BSN's. Also, I believe that the pay will far exceed what you...

  13. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you really believe you are not getting hired d/t a shortage you need to contact you legislature. If you google House Bill 1929 you will understand what I mean. I just do not have time right now...

  14. Seems a bit excessive to me....

    gettingbsn2msn replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    I remember a few years ago I was talking to a maintenance man and he stated he was in the 100k territory and could not afford to work anywhere else. All this guy did was screw in lightbulbs....

  19. NP paid a % of pt seen, whats an appropriate %

    gettingbsn2msn replied to SAM49's topic in Advanced Practice

    Am I missing something here? How can one live on 250.00 per month as a NP? Surely I am not seeing something here. Even if you see 40 patients in one day, I make twice that as an RN. Help me get...
