1. Skating on thin ice?(at my job)

   nursep2b replied to nursep2b's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, I was a little insulted at the assumption I can't see the bigger picture. As a matter of fact, I have worked as a part of administration in a small LTC facility but left because I felt guilty taking a paycheck. Double and triple checking yourse...

2. Skating on thin ice?(at my job)

   nursep2b replied to nursep2b's topic in General Nursing

   It's especially frustrating when you're trying to pass morning meds and therapy whisks your patient away, sometimes for the whole morning. We nurses do not have time to chase patients down when they are not on the hall. It's also hard for everyone no...

   Please elaborate. Also, share how you've not made any medication errors and how you are certain you have not made any.

4. Skating on thin ice?(at my job)

   nursep2b replied to nursep2b's topic in General Nursing

   The bottom line is that I wonder if I should be looking for another job. I always try to be consciencious about signing the records, but they also apparently are going behind us counting meds.. I also know from experience it is a lot easier to point ...

5. Skating on thin ice?(at my job)

   nursep2b posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'll try to get to the point but this is a little complicated for me. I'm a BSN and am actually halfway through a nurse practitioner program. It became necessary to find a job a few months ago and I began working at a very large nursing home. I've wo...

6. NPs/Saturated Markets

   nursep2b replied to loriann's topic in NP

   I have heard there are a lot of opportunities in the midwest. I would imagine that areas where np schools are nearby would be pretty saturated.

7. Online Adult NP Programs

   nursep2b replied to ReeseW's topic in NP

   No one seems to think that going with anything other than FNP is a good idea. I'm in an online adult np program because I was told that was the only program I qualified for because of my lack of pediatric experience. If the "specialty" programs are n...

8. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

   nursep2b replied to kittyw's topic in NP

   I agree with baburton. Our family MD leads anything but a glamorous life. He has a small rural clinic, gets up early to make hospital rounds, sees the same old thing in his office every day, listens to the same old complaints, and gets up the next da...

9. Family vs. Adult NP=which is better?

   nursep2b replied to ReeseW's topic in NP

   I'm going into the third semester of an Adult/Geron NP program. I believe I would have been better off in the FNP track but this particular school was very picky about having certain types of experience for different tracks and I was told I only qual...

10. Best Oto/Ophthalmoscope?

    nursep2b posted a topic in NP

    I'm in nurse practitioner school and will start clinicals this fall. The specialty I am studying for is Adult/Geron NP (primary care). It's not a requirement but the school is suggesting we buy our own otoscope/ophthalmoscope. They sent a list and th...
