    I am a student in an FNP program and I need to interview an FNP for a paper. It is a short questionnaire that could be completed by email. Would anyone be willing to help me out? Thanks in

  3. Ever do a flu shot clinic?

    RN4NICU replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    The flu shot is an intramuscular injection and goes into the deltoid

  6. Three 12's vs. 7 on/off

    RN4NICU replied to ADNgrad2006's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the OP was talking about doing 7 12's on - it looked like she was talking about 7 8's (56 hours) and getting paid for 72 hours - with 7 days off. I can't really imagine a hospital...

  7. Why is AACN developing new role " Clinical Nurse Leader"????

    RN4NICU replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe its in response to the NCSBN pushing to get rid of the CNS

  8. please vote--change career mid life?

    RN4NICU replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to go into nursing for this reason alone, my advice would be DON'T. Also, your schedule will likely not be as flexible as a nurse as it is now (at least not as a new grad). You will miss...

  9. Nurse manager email - Opinions?

    RN4NICU replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I think this NM failed "Tact and Professionalism 101". I find it very common among NM that they would rather direct their frustrations to everyone rather than actually confront and deal with...

  10. department versus school

    RN4NICU replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's just how the University system is set up. Department of Nursing is usually within another college or school, such as the school of health sciences, or something similar. School/College of Nursing...

  11. Would you or wouldn't you?

    RN4NICU replied to White Shoes's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is the same as a good samaritan. Good samaritan laws really only cover rendering aid in emergencies or first-aid situations. A B-12 shot is neither. Besides, I'm not fully sure that...

  12. how many break(s) in your 12 hrs. shift?

    RN4NICU replied to Sammi15's topic in General Nursing

    We get a 30 minute lunch and three 15 minute breaks for 12 hour shifts (8 hour shifts get two 15 minute breaks instead of three). I usually work 8 hours and take two 30 minute breaks. I agree with...

  13. Do I have to take off my clothes?

    RN4NICU replied to Yossy's topic in General Students

    I've heard this argument before and it sounds just as ridiculous now as it did the first time I heard it. Nurses are not stupid. They do not need to go through these experiences to understand them....

  14. Would you or wouldn't you?

    RN4NICU replied to White Shoes's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't give the shot to the neighbors grandma and I wouldn't do this either as it has the possibility to get just as ugly. If anything happens: "well my neighbor is a nurse and she taught me how...

  15. OMG! Allnurses withdrawal!

    RN4NICU replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Some people are unable to do premium memberships for their own reasons, others just don't want to for their own reasons. Whatever the reason, it is up to each individual and perhaps some should...

  16. OMG! Allnurses withdrawal!

    RN4NICU replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Woohoo!! Glad to see Allnurses up and running

  17. BEST/WORST/least__ __online NP pgms?

    RN4NICU replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That sounds nice. All our general courses are together. We won't be with just our specialty until we start the specialty course track (after general courses - theory, research, etc. are already...

    RN4NICU replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm pretty sure they are ALL going to have useless writing

  20. Main Problem In The Nursing Field?

    RN4NICU replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    Dare to care Dare to feel Dare to cry That somehow doesn't scream "professionalism" to me. I think that it actually feeds into the stereotype that all nurses are is compassionate hand-holders. Our...

  21. Main Problem In The Nursing Field?

    RN4NICU replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    Uh, NO Marie. That is NOT the point. The point IS that the staff nurse is not at the level of practice that the PT and OT is and that a more fair comparison (if we must compare nursing to the...

  22. Main Problem In The Nursing Field?

    RN4NICU replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    More food for thought: PTs and OTs are Master's prepared, moving toward the Doctorate for their entry levels. Master's prepared advanced practice nurses also have more

  23. Make up...?

    RN4NICU replied to ails's topic in General Nursing

    Oh good grief. We aren't there to "brighten their day", we aren't flowers in the room for goodness sake. We are there to keep them from getting sicker than they already are or dying. That is why...

  24. Nursing Jobs that allow you to work from home

    RN4NICU replied to junebug96's topic in General Nursing

    The training is a certificate program you can do from home, BUT it doesn't guarantee you a work-from-home position upon completion. Many places require you to have in-house transcription experience...

  25. Nicotine patches while smoking

    RN4NICU replied to Nascar nurse's topic in General Nursing

    There IS increased danger. I personally know two people who DIED (acute MI in both cases) from smoking while using the patch. "Studies that show no increased danger" did not do them any good, now...
