  7. is it just me, or has standard of care sunk?

    BrandybunsRN replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of whether she had a work-up the day before, including enzymes, if she presents again the next day with CP she should be getting enzymes. If the physician feels strongly enough to actually...

  8. Checking visitor's vitals

    BrandybunsRN replied to AJPV's topic in General Nursing

    Kind of crazy to get yelled at in this scenario. Much better to head off an issue then to have this man collapse in the middle of a patient's room and code. Also, I would think the liability would...

  9. USA Spring 2012 Admission Letter?

    BrandybunsRN replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I applied to the same track BSN-DNP for acute care at USA. They were late getting the letters out, but I received mine at the very end of September. In fact, the information due back (drug test,...

  10. Disappointed in myself and feel like a failure in nursing.

    BrandybunsRN replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    I think that if you truly like being a nurse, you shouldn't give that up just because of some rude people. You worked a lot of hours and put in a lot of hard work to become a nurse and no one should...

  11. BCLS online renewal

    BrandybunsRN replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    This is key right here! If you're going to spend the money make sure you are meeting the requirement of your employer. I just recently got into NP school where BLS is required, and the one...

    BrandybunsRN replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in General Nursing

    With the economy the way it is right now, any job that gets posted lately has a huge influx of applicants. I recently posted 2 positions for RNs in my clinic, one part time one full time, and I...

    BrandybunsRN replied to Ms. Nikki's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Same here, my letter came last week (BSN-DNP ACNP with CV). I know the wait must be agonozing (it sure was for me!). Let us know what happens and if you got in!!! :)

  14. USA Spring 2011

    BrandybunsRN replied to BrandybunsRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It's such a hard wait! I did the BSN-DNP ACNP route with CV specialty... heard back last week. So excited and happy I got in! There's a lot of work ahead, but I can't wait! :) Good luck to you...

  15. Pay increase after 1st year of experience?

    BrandybunsRN replied to ADPIE2008's topic in General Nursing

    So when you say $.17/hour, are you literally meaning 17 cents per hour more? If so, that may just be a market adjustment. This means that the hospital brought it's hourly rates standard with other...

  16. RN-BSN Chamberlain online (info needed please)

    BrandybunsRN replied to cmo701's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In the RN-BSN program there are no clinical hours required. The school itself may have a minimum number of clinical hours you must have done BEFORE the program (so practicing as a nurse for 12 years...

    BrandybunsRN replied to cmo701's topic in Online Distance Learning

    BrandybunsRN replied to BrandybunsRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Someone else on here called this week also and told me that indeed that are still reviewing and next week is when letters should be sent. I laughed because I told her at least now I KNOW it will not...

  19. University of South Alabama MSN-FNP Program

    BrandybunsRN replied to TjamieRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey there, I also applied for Spring 2012 - although for the ACNP/Cardiology track. (still waiting to hear, it's driving me crazy!). Good luck on getting in and let's chat if we both get in!

  20. How to pay for FNP program and support family?

    BrandybunsRN replied to bophus's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Any way to check into student loans through your local credit union or something? Many will extend student loans to members. Just a

  21. Do you ever get over being squeamish?

    BrandybunsRN replied to willowita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh yeah, you get used to it (well most of them!). I've been a nurse for about 13 years or so now, and I still have a strong aversion to sputum. I had a bad experience with it in my peds rotation and...

  22. Need an online statistics course

    BrandybunsRN replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did my BSN through Chamberlain College of Nursing and our non-nursing classes were all through Devry. And it was on-line. (granted not my favorite course by far LOL) but definitely doable on-line...

    BrandybunsRN replied to vhern246's topic in Nursing Humor

  24. Charting statements...

    BrandybunsRN replied to Poi Dog's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have a physician who dictated wrong once. He had done a PFO closure on a young female patient and instead of the record showing that the patient's PFO was diagnosed by transesophogeal...

  25. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    BrandybunsRN replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    One day (when I used to work in the cath lab), my husband was sure from all my stories that he knew how to "talk like a doctor". So he called me up one day trying to pretend to be a doctor and asked...
