    Tinabeanrn replied to whitecat5000's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    WOW, only charting the good vitals aye? Thats interesting. I have not heard of that one before. I have had CNA's get crazy vitals with systolics in the 70s, and never even tell me or not recheck it. I...

  3. What is the quickest way to earning your DNP?

    Tinabeanrn replied to tortorRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  4. What is the quickest way to earning your DNP?

    Tinabeanrn replied to tortorRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Tinabeanrn replied to tortorRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I know a couple of girls that are going the RN to DNP part time option at U of M flint. Im surprised to hear that MSU is not offering that until 2013 bc when I was looking to go there it was offered...

  6. What is the quickest way to earning your DNP?

    Tinabeanrn replied to tortorRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Tinabeanrn posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Tinabeanrn replied to Aviationurse's topic in Agency Nurses

    Tinabeanrn replied to JMEMNRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi OP. I think you can do anything that you want to do and that you put your mind to. The first few classes are really dry and boring and full of busy work (not that the busy work ever ends lol) so...

    Tinabeanrn replied to hope1272's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes Aslingtl, this too shall pass :). It has too. I worked with a RN that is absolutely brilliant. He failed his boards 3 times before finally passing. That was 15 years ago. Now its a funny story he...

    Tinabeanrn replied to hope1272's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Tinabeanrn replied to TX911's topic in General Nursing

    I have been pushed to the same point in the ICU. For years we worked short. There was some unwritten rule that said Tina has to have 3 pts no matter what. Had pts with CVVHD which should be one to...

  20. Barkley vs. Fitzgerald...which is a better review?

    Tinabeanrn replied to MelsvyV's topic in Advanced Practice

    As far as studying for the Boards, Barkley is much more comprehensive than Fitzgerald but I feel that Fitzgerald actually helped me more with the AANP exam. Fitzgerald is sort of short and sweet, went...

  21. Are Nurse Practitioners' in demand?

    Tinabeanrn replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It really depends on where you live...some places are really saturated with NPs and PAs so it is hard to get a job as a new grad. You can certainly find a job if you are willing to relocate. Where I...

  22. Priceless FNP clinical resources

    Tinabeanrn replied to natyloo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with Tarascon's Primary Care pocketbook. Very comprehensive and easy to read. Its about 200 pages, but somehow it touches on every subject I learned in school. Must have :

    Tinabeanrn replied to scabby21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You will be ahead of them since you are in a clinic. That's perfect. I wished I had office/clinic experience when I was a student. I think the best thing you can do is start reading Pharmacology. Get...

    Tinabeanrn replied to itsnowbegun's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know. Thats what my friend said as well. It would be nice to know the reason why they are choosing them over the experienced nurses with 4.0's and excellent essays. My friends essay was absolutely...
