  1. How to be on an ICU Nurse's good side?

    myoglobin replied to Nkukiller's topic in MICU, SICU

    I agree with much of the above, but prefer that residents not introduce themselves. Then again, I've been at my job for over ten years and don't know the names of many of my coworkers with whom I...

  2. Nurse accused of impregnating women in vegetative state

    myoglobin replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    I believe that one preventative measure would be to institute video monitoring for at risk clients. We had this in several PCU’s and ICU’s where I have worked and I believe that it helps prevent...

  3. It's Official: Workplace Burnout Gets an ICD-11 Code

    myoglobin replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Does this mean that the ANA will change their position and support California ratio laws? Will we be able to get people FMLA for workplace burnout so that they can miss work without fear of job loss?...

  4. University of Southern Indiana (USI) PMHNP - 2019

    myoglobin replied to JENFKB's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not unless you are willing to relocate to the Evansville area. However, they will provide contacts to previous preceptors in your area. I sent personalized letters type written with hand addressed...

  5. Florida FNP

    myoglobin replied to pocovan's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think you are correct, which is why nurses need to support the bill and use their tactic against them in a bit of political Kung

  6. University of Southern Indiana (USI) PMHNP - 2019

    myoglobin replied to JENFKB's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, the practice where you do clinical must see all ages. You could “combine” several sites to achieve this if

  7. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    myoglobin replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that the only solution to evil corporations ( and yes I believe that word is often appropriate) are good ones dedicated to serving others while also staying financially sound. Thus, I...

  8. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    myoglobin replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    There needs to be a database where health care workers can post situations like this. Over time places that were especially horrible "like the one that you work" would find it increasingly more...

  9. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    myoglobin replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Here is my "top ten" solutions to both issues (keeping RN's at bedside and optimizing opportunities for NP's". 1. Expand California ratio and overtime laws. If bedside nursing is less miserable and...

  10. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    myoglobin replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying that it is a panacea (my wife works form home earns 85/hr as a PMHNP and hates her job) but what is? Go to studentdoctor.net and one of the common complaints is "why did I work so hard...

  11. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    myoglobin replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Area of the country matters significantly as well. Thus, in Florida, a Med-Surgical nurse might find themselves with, six, seven or even eight sick patients, no lunch (that they can actually take...

  12. What's your best "podcast" for increasing your knowledge base especially for PMHNP. Here's mine...

    myoglobin posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really like Psychiatry and Psychotherapy with Dr. David Puder https://psychiatrypodcast.com/ because it is both informative and entertaining and also Psychopharmacology and Psychiatry...

  13. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    myoglobin replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I see it a bit differently. Just because I'm becoming an NP (in my case PMHNP) I won't stop being a nurse/RN. Many of the NP's (primarily FNP's) that I know still pick up one or two shifts per month...

  14. What one law would most improve nursing?

    myoglobin posted a topic in General Nursing

    To me it would be more states having the California patient ratio law. Indeed, I was surprised in nursing school (not sure if this has changed" to learn that the ANA didn't explicitly support the...

  15. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    myoglobin replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Also those “high paying” corporate jobs can disappear in a puff of smoke with no guarantees that they can be

  16. What one law would most improve nursing?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    If a staffing bill isn’t mandatory at least at the California levels with significant penalties then it is largely useless as it simply won’t be followed much of the

  17. For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

    myoglobin replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I believe that your post may be at the heart of why NP’s are able to demonstrate such good outcomes in primary care despite relatively less education. There is both a law of diminishing returns with...

  18. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    myoglobin replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    If we all “just resign” every time we are confronted with tyranny, evil or rude behavior who will stand up for us when we are the victims? I’m not saying we should always be heroes, but thank...

  19. What one law would most improve nursing?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    In the same way that I expect Planned Parenthood to be pro choice or the NRA to be pro gun I expect the ANA to be biased heavily towards nursing. Thus, when they are not it causes me to question their...

  20. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    myoglobin replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    The grass isn’t always greener. When we used to own a mortgage company I met many electricians and plumbers who were on “waiting lists” that were sometimes years long because there was an actual...

  21. Does name of school matter?

    myoglobin replied to ToBeMSNNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    New York and New Jersey are relatively restrictive and do not allow many schools. Thus, you may find it necessary to use a more expensive school than would otherwise be the

  22. Nihss stroke scale and float pool need advice

    myoglobin replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    Execute a "google" search for NIHSS test B and you will find many Youtube videos that may be helpful. The most common error is to "over score". Also, I don't know about your hospital, but mine offers...

  23. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    myoglobin replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you should absolutely contact an attorney. Your employer should be advised (if your attorney agrees) that you will vigorously defend your name and reputation against any libel, defamation,...

  24. Going to PA as a nurse

    myoglobin replied to Piano-CelloRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Keep in mind that perhaps the strongest advantage of NP's relative to PA's is the ability to practice independently. Thus, in over 20 states as an NP you can open your own practice, However, only...

  25. Florida Board of Health Suspends Healthcare Licenses Over Student Loan Defaults

    myoglobin replied to Swellz's topic in Nursing News

    I would argue that these license revocation laws may be unconstitutional because of "disparate" impact. That is to say they disproportionately penalize those with low income and minorities. Here's...
