Yikes--what a disaster floor! Unfortunately, weak middle management--facilitated by a lack of leadership by the CNO--allows such nonsense to go on more frequently than one would think in a business where--after all--LIVES are at stake. Don't know i...

I apologize if this already has been discussed elsewhere, but wanted to point out the following: I was in my MD's office for a physical and wanted two vaccines before international travel. The NON-nurse "medical assistant"--UNlicensed in NY--came in...

I've read horror stories here on allnurses.com of NP students dropping out of on-line programs due to the very real inability to locate willing preceptors. True? That's why I LOVE allnurses.com and happily pay to be a PREMIUM member every year--the...

It depends on your state--very few permit this--and when the state does, there are certain restrictions, e.g., the MD must be on the premises.

Rebecca M. Patton, president of the American Nurses Association, called the verdict in a whistle-blowing case "a resounding win on behalf of patient safety." Ms. Patton said, "The message the jury sent is clear: the freedom for nurses to report a phy...

You may discuss this with an employment attorney, who can evaluate the situation and discuss possible legal options that may be available. Good luck and keep us posted. Nurses must be able to advocate for patient safety without fear of retaliation....

Actually, StonyBrook has BOTH an on-line (i.e., Distance Learning) and a traditional, in-person classroom NP program.

From a related thread, I believe the crucial question is now: "Can the graduate of an Adult Health NP Master's apply for the ACUTE Care Certific. Exam (ACNP) of the ANCC?" I have researched AllNurses.com and scoured the ANCC's website: but no appa...

This is a good question for the nurse-attorney who writes a Q-and-A column for "Nurse Spectrum" magazine--I believe her name is Nancy Brent and her column is "Brent's Law." Perhaps you would consider submitting it to her.

I am offering exam prep materials for the Cardiac Medicine Certification subspecialty exam of the American Association of Critical Care Materials. This package is available brand new for $299.48 (including the shipping charge that I paid). As describ...

Yes, I agree with the horrific analysis above; with your 1.5 yrs in StepDown, I highly doubt you'd get an ICU job...not a good time to be entering the NYC job market---sit tight where you are and try to gain some ICU experience there.....

Critical Care vs. Adult NP: Master's Classes/Clinicals & Employer Requirements I'm moving the message to this general discussion to see whether any AllNurses Members have any info. Thanks. Originally Posted by NYCRN16 SUNY Stonybrook has an on...

Thank you.

Thanks Cardiology EP NP for all your good advice; I'm in a similar situation as the original poster and your advice helped tremendously. DO YOU KNOW HOW I COULD LOCATE THAT 12-CREDIT ON-LINE CNS SPECIALIZATION??--IS IS PART OF THE NP UNIVERSITY YOU ...

Actually, I read an article in Advance for NPs that about 9% of NPs work in the ICU, but only half of those have the Acute Care Certification---apparently some states have scope of practice for Adult and Family NPs that encompasses critical-care stag...

I have heard that many Adult Health NPs are in fact hired by hospitals to work in acute and even critical-care settings AND I have RN experience as a critical-care nurse.....I guess this is part of the ongoing difficulty with poorly-defined scope-of-...

Thanks AngelfireRN, I have read some articles indicating that an Adult Health NP MIGHT be practicing outside her scope of practice if working in the acute/critical care setting (perhaps not the case in Alabama). I think I need to ascertain: WHETHE...

Thanks NYCRN16! You provided so much helpful info. I just attended Orientation for SUNY StonyBrook's On-Line Adult Health and asked about the possibility of having my fourth and final NP Clinical (in 2013!) in a Critical Care setting to give me a C...

I saw a story on a NYCity news program re: a home care patient who was continuing to be charged by White Glove for care that she had since cancelled----if that's true and that's how they treat their paying CUSTOMERS, I'm afraid how they would treat t...

Thanks for the warning! I had gotten an offer at the Manhattan VA for a Day position w/rotating shifts....turns out that "rotating shifts" means you could very well end up working the NIGHT shift for weeks/months at a time, depending on the "need".....

You have described it PERFECTLY. And here is what I consider the PERFECT explanation that was posted in another thread on allnurses.com: "Nursing is a very stressful profession and nurses bear maximum responsibility for patients' wellbeing, yet have...

My suggestion: stay in Texas and get a good 2 years experience as an RN under your belt---and if new grads are in great demand down there, you may find a hospital willing to train you in pediatrics. May I ask why you went to Texas for nursing schoo...

thanks for the reference!
