Depends, we have to run Levophed through peripheral IV's all the time. It's just reality.

Going to bump this thread guys. Anyone hear any news yet? Anyone have any idea as well on the acceptance rate? ICU RN of 3 years year is a cGPA of aproximately 3.3-3.4.

Just to add to the thread consider this: an MD/DO who just does their intern year and becomes boarded as a GP. GP=General Practicioner, he is a physician, a Nurse Practicioner is not, if you removed nurse and just left practicioner would be extreme...

I loled.

"And I take offense at your "at the very least a GED". My dear, I have a GED which has allowed me the great opportunity to persue two degrees (one of which I am almost finished, the other I graduated from with honors) and in the future I also plan to...

I work nights, 7 on 7 off. My schedule: roll in at 1830, finish report by 1900 at latest, do my assessments, and check charts/orders and attend to anything that needs immediate attention. At that point (2000-2100) I like to have this hour aside, las...

You didnt really cry for days right?....

You called a doctor for an order to reinsert an NG tube? Do you call a doctor every time an IV goes bad for an order to put another one in?

Patient on bedrest for NSTEMI scheduled for a cath in the morning is screaming "I want to drink naturally, so I can pee naturally and poop naturally" I was lolling in my head hard, she didnt mutter another word the rest of the night and was very comp...

I actually looked and there was only 1 state i found that woulf recognize that degree(could be a few more), but essentially a useless degree...graduates at the best carib schools (SGU, SABA, Ross, AUC) often have issues obtaining a residency consider...

There are not many...n=1 here, not in the us and not accredited in likely 40% of our states...their match list likely terrible.

Yeah you are right, im guilty of thread hijack.Dont think start another thread an continue to beat the dead horse haha.

Lol this is your example....handful of states that do not accept online education CA, TX, NY, Conn, GA, Ark, ND, Oregon, KA, FL. An i am sure there is more. When i say they dont accept this education, means you cant practice/licensed in these state...

You have not worked with any residents that did medical school in the US online. You may work with those who chose not to go to lecture, but view it recorded via their school. Its pretty common knowledge that lecture attendance isnt required for lo...

not sure why this is every persons arguement you can not always count years as an rn clinical experience. reason being there are nursing students who are perputual with their education and do not intend to work until they are finished with their np....

In the past when I was doing clinicals in the ED a very famous celebrity/person came through massive MI failed resuscitation...I did CPR on him etc. Now approximately 2 years later I am writing a paper about historical markers and I plan to incl...

There is not enough information to identify this individual. Again I understand HIPAA, but thank you for your self-righteous remarks and pearls of wisdom. Why did this turn into a bashing thread? This was a legitimate grey area for me.

I didnt bother disclosing this to you guys, but this person's cause of death and hospital he went to were public knowledge. "but even asking this question exemplifies your need for more better practice"

What ive spoken has been misinterpreted then. I did speak with some collegues as well and im just not going to mess with the issue.

It's a history class, huge historical figure and this issue prompted me to research/read on this person's accomplishments. If it would be a violation in any sense....I would just remove it from the paper.....because I am listing as one of the "histor...

I work in a jack of all trades ICU for them most part....somewhat small town with our own CV surgeon, as well our ICU takes all neuro etc everything CRRP etc. An how I titled this thread, at what point with you patient assignments etc has everything ...

Yeah i definitely wish things at my job were the way they are supposed to be. In general once things get this crazy I just go into survival mode, stop giving a crap about paperwork, keep my patients alive and make sure they get the necessary medicat...

Im kicking back already, was a hellish rotation, bud light in my free hand. We are severely understaffed, and if I didn't need more ICU exp to make a lateral move to another hospital I would leave. I stay on my manager's butt all the time about thi...

Tele floors are notoriously fast and furious, congrats on on your new gig!
