  1. Need help from a palliative care NP

    guest538567 replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In that case you may also want to look at the Carolinas Center for Hospice and End-of-life Care as they may have some other positions in your area. I agree with traumaRUs any experience you can...

  2. Need help from a palliative care NP

    guest538567 replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    CAPC is the Center to Advance Palliative Care and HPNA is the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association. Both have job postings but CAPC is more comprehensive. USA is the University of Southern...

  3. Is the ICU for me?

    guest538567 replied to LillyBud's topic in MICU, SICU

    I was exactly like you as a new grad ICU nurse. It may take a year to start feeling really comfortable and two years until you are feel prepared to handle anything that rolls through the door. When I...

  4. High School Student Wanting To Become An RN?

    guest538567 replied to aliciajessee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend looking into the local community college programs. Find out what prerequisite courses you need to take and how the admission process works. Maybe you can call someone at the local...

  5. Well.. I guess I am going to be canned

    guest538567 replied to Phoenix2541's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree that this was a judgement issue for the nurse. However, I would have no concerns about a lawsuit or settlement. The patient has to prove actual harm and in this case there obviously was no...

  6. Need help from a palliative care NP

    guest538567 replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry to hear of your difficulty. I would have thought with the increasing demand of palliative care programs that job availability should be accessible. I have heard that all accredited cancer...

  7. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    guest538567 replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree. Unrealistic expectations from patients and families is something I frequently see in my practice. I think it likely reflects a culture where medical exposure comes in the form of medical...

  8. Second Interview Requested

    guest538567 replied to reddgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't work in primary care and will defer this answer to another poster. I think 2-4 pt's per hour is likely what would be expected in my area. I have a peer who is a new grad and just accepted a...

  9. FNP vs ANP

    guest538567 replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am an ANP. I have yet to be limited in my job options and I have not known of any ANP peers that have felt limited. That said, I wish that I had chosen the FNP route as if I ever move from this area...

  10. Could someone explain to me what are Typhon logs?

    guest538567 replied to mairead8220's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My NP program used the typhon logs. Essentially its a web-based system to track clinical hours, patients, ICD-9 codes, and procedures. My program had a grant that paid for the software for each...

  11. Honduras healthcare team opportunity

    guest538567 replied to bjtmict's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I went with my university on a medical trip to Honduras. I was a NP student at the time and we ran a small medical clinic in the coastal Limon area. It was an amazing experience. It was a great...

  12. Dating former patient

    guest538567 replied to usnurse11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just attended a conference where a member of the legal team of the BOM lectured on her list of "absolute NOs" in professional practice. On the short list was dating a patient and she made sure to...

  13. Do you think nursing would be more advanced as a profression if...

    guest538567 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I will agree with some posters that nursing would be better off with an increased concentration of males. I do believe this would increase salaries but not for the previously stated reasons. Males are...
