  1. New protocol - No report from ER to floor...

    CardiacRNLA replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    I could have not said it better. Some of the worst report I received or charting I have seen is from the ED. They didn't know crap about the patient they supposedly were "treating." The only concern...

  2. How to Get Accepted to NP Fellowships?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I realize that NP Fellowships are few, far between and competitive. I wanted to know if anyone who has been accepted to this fellowships, what set your application apart? What recommendations for...

  3. ANCC Cardiac Vascular Certification Exam

    CardiacRNLA replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    Really??? Only six hours total study time? Damn, maybe this is all in my head LOL. I worked inpatient interventional cardiology and outpatient cardiodiagnostics. I will say I feel like the Mometrix...

  4. AdventHealth University (AHU) MSN-FNP

    CardiacRNLA replied to RR123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I applied in April and finished the process in May. Still haven’t heard back. The admissions counselor told me the decisions would be sent out by 6/30 at the latest. I’m kinda put off by the lack...

  5. AdventHealth University (AHU) MSN-FNP

    CardiacRNLA replied to RR123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah, I wonder about the acceptance process. I could finish up my program at University of South Alabama. But I don’t think I could go through the pain of trying to find preceptors. It’s just way...

  6. AdventHealth University (AHU) MSN-FNP

    CardiacRNLA replied to RR123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I applied for the Fall. I’m hoping to find out more. Looks like they are in process of accreditation by the CCNE. So we shall see. The admissions coordinator told me they place students with...

  7. What happened to all the Walden Haters?

    CardiacRNLA replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yassss...speak that truth

  8. What’s with “researching” patients before clocking in?! Is this a standard?

    CardiacRNLA replied to NurseOrBust13's topic in General Nursing

    At the end of the day who cares. Not all nurses are created equal. Whatever one has to go to make his or her shift go well, I say for it. On my first day, I’d come in 30 min early. After that I did...

  9. ICU for EP Lab?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Cardiac

    Hello all, I’m a nurse who has two years of experience with EP/Cath post recovery. We took STEMIs, drips, etc. We were a PCU level Cardiac Intervention Unit. For the past year, I’ve been working...

  10. Case Manager to NP? Can I get accepted?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi all, I have been a nurse overall for 5 1/2 years. I spent 3 years in acute care, one in a cardiology clinic and now the past 6 months as an RN Case Manager. I just wanted to know if anyone else...

  11. I Was Fired...for Being Abrasive and Having Attitude

    CardiacRNLA replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    In a perfect world, those meetings would be not fault finding missions. In high performing organizations they are used for the purpose you mention. However, I’ve been around enough to see otherwise....

  12. I Was Fired...for Being Abrasive and Having Attitude

    CardiacRNLA replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Fine. When your manager or risk wonders why you didn’t speak up? Is that better? I think you missed my main point by nitpicking. Because I have been in meetings where exactly what I have said has...

  13. I Was Fired...for Being Abrasive and Having Attitude

    CardiacRNLA replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I will just assume you do not include instances that impact patient safety. Because if so, new grad or not, you better address ANY nurse. I would not risk having to explain to the BON or anyone else...

  14. I Was Fired...for Being Abrasive and Having Attitude

    CardiacRNLA replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    ^^^^this!!!! Lol! Im from LA originally but lived in NY for many years. It’s still a big struggle for me lol! I’m trying to learn and

  15. I Was Fired...for Being Abrasive and Having Attitude

    CardiacRNLA replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    In nursing, having a “big personality” puts a big target on your back. I think people confuse a “big personality” for being rude. Different cultures express themselves differently. I have been...

  16. Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

    CardiacRNLA replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Even at “Magnet” and so-called “highly rated” organizations. I interviewed and took a job at this type of an organization at their cardiac clinic. Stupid me. I was star stuck because of the...

  17. You know what grinds my gears?

    CardiacRNLA replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    “Can I have Duh-lada, Duh-laudee, Duh-la-la?” “You mean Dilaudis?” “Yes, that’s it!”

  18. Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

    CardiacRNLA replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    As far as number three is concerned, I think you need a bit of education on what case management does. Firstly, while you have five patients, case managers can have between 20-40 on their case loads....

  19. Not being paid anything for overtime hours worked during orientation. Is this legal?

    CardiacRNLA replied to GbabyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I’m trying to figure out if this is a troll response or

  20. Breaking New Grad Contract

    CardiacRNLA replied to Nursenursexoxo's topic in General Nursing

    This must be Florida Hospital because I had the same awful contract. I never paid them back. They tried to collect and never got anything from me. Hell, they even wanted to rehire me. Don’t walk,...

  21. Can I get Fired?

    CardiacRNLA replied to Minniegirl0604's topic in General Nursing

    Precisely. I’m not saying the OP didn’t do something incorrect. But my word, accusing him/her of embezzlement and not meeting the standards of professional nursing? Over someone starting an IV on...

  22. Can I get Fired?

    CardiacRNLA replied to Minniegirl0604's topic in General Nursing

    It’s amazing how self-righteous people are in this

  23. Living paycheck to paycheck

    CardiacRNLA replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any reason why you’re working only 32 hours a week? Could you do per diem elsewhere? Nursing pays well depending on which state obviously. In CA, I get paid “very well” but with the...

  24. My IV Skills are Terrible!!!

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! And yes, I agree! In RN school, we are not allowed to practice IV skills, except on a manikin. Not even on each other. And then you’re expected to do it on the floor like magic. I...

  25. My IV Skills are Terrible!!!

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much! Seriously! It’s like some of these nurses have some juju or vein conjuring skills that I’m missing! Lol! Some of them will literally go in the same spot I was in and voila! It...
