RNs giving patient lab results.

LilPeanut replied to Dperez201's topic in General Nursing

Wow, I'm glad some of you weren't my nurses when I was in the hospital. My nurses would print out my labs in the morning for me to look at. That is absolutely not true. You do not have to act on...
Trump's 'religious conscience'

LilPeanut replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

To perform ACLS on a pregnant woman, you must evacuate the uterus, no matter the gestation or the capability for that hospital to care for the baby. You cannot give chest compressions on a gravid...
Trump's 'religious conscience'

LilPeanut replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying LOL But I'm of the opinion it shouldn't matter, to refuse care of a patient like that means you don't deserve to work in health care. Arguably, you don't...
Epic Provider Tips and Tricks

LilPeanut replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

I'm a superuser and "physician builder". For my personal dotphrases that I need frequently, I often will start it with an odd letter, so it doesn't conflict with anything but it is the fewest number...
Options for Family Nurse Practitioners?

LilPeanut replied to nurse_bri's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

Not all of them are, but some are, and where they are the most utilized is often in critical care
Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

LilPeanut replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

You don't use inorganic chemistry in clinical practice. At all. That's part of the problem with medicine too - requiring classes that aren't actually needed for the knowledge and clinical work. If I...
Options for Family Nurse Practitioners?

LilPeanut replied to nurse_bri's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

But FNPs are being increasingly limited in hospitals, because they are not critical care focused and their education is too broad. I think the better choice is to figure out which specialty you would...
Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

LilPeanut replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

Not true. There are major public universities that do it. I went to Ohio State, they found each and every preceptor I had. Again, major public universities are going to require the GRE. I needed to...
Trump's 'religious conscience'

LilPeanut replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

Super late on the reply: the medical term for miscarriage is abortion. She had an incomplete abortion since the uterine contents were not expelled, and so needed a D&C to complete the abortion....
Does your employer charge you for PTO?

LilPeanut replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

I'm not qualified to know what the area or going rates are. But she requested the information, they misled her and didn't provide it. Now, she should have never taken the job, never mind starting...
Trump's 'religious conscience'

LilPeanut replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

It absolutely is an abortion, medically speaking, and it is abhorrent that you would even consider that the second sentence should have ever come into play. That nurse should have been fired, jailed...
Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

LilPeanut replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

Ideally, yes, but sometimes it can't. That's why relationships end. That's why my partner left. I couldn't have a baby. He couldn't see any other path. He left. I will be alone for the rest of my life...
Does your employer charge you for PTO?

LilPeanut replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

Not if she was offered a full time job with the higher rate. If it comes later that the rate isn't real, only if she declines benefits, that is shady af. That is bait and switch at the very least....
Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

LilPeanut replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

What I'm trying to communicate with you is that you need to look at other ways you can be happy and achieve a dream without needing to be in Hawaii full time. It doesn't matter what could be in...
Does your employer charge you for PTO?

LilPeanut replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

I don't think it's ok. If I'm being offered a full time benefitted position, not a PRN, then benefits are included. If you want me to agree to work every week a certain number of hours and we're...
Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

LilPeanut replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

Except my quality of life is way better in SF - so while my rent is sky high, so is my pay and I can afford to live there. And there are RNs who make more than me so I take a the stories of nurses...
Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

LilPeanut replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

This is a very unrealistic goal. You are essentially saying you want to make over 300k *extra* in 5 years? Again, you've never answered my question about what either of you are really getting from the...
New Grad RN-Accepted Position, Just Found Out Pregnancy (High Risk)

LilPeanut replied to JennaSnow's topic in General Nursing

I don't want to be a negative nelly, but when deciding jobs and you are very early in pregnancy, I wouldn't necessarily base decisions on the results of the pregnancy. I wouldn't wish anything to...
Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

LilPeanut replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

I see warning signs on both sides of this relationship. You still haven't said why you stay. Is it because you think you'll look bad because you left? I understand that. But you're not helping...

LilPeanut replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

CA state income tax isn't that bad. In Ohio I had to pay RITA and some other taxes, and CA gives you a lot for your money. I understand this - but as someone who lost their dream (not like this, but...
Wastefulness in healthcare

LilPeanut replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

End of life care is a lot of the costs. I also really advocate for decreasing the number of lab draws and other procedures that can really add up but don't always contribute meaningfully to the care....
Women's Right to Choose

This is an old article showing about maternal mortality in the different types of abortions, and how the number of women dying went down in an absolute sense....
Women's Right to Choose

LilPeanut replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

No, that's not the question, because they've shown that making it illegal doesn't make it happen any less, it just becomes more dangerous for the woman. Anything about making it illegal is simply...
Afraid I gave someone a bloodborne disease

LilPeanut replied to RN8903's topic in General Nursing

How could it have been contaminated without visible blood/tissue? That's where focusing on the logic of the situation can help you recognize it is an abnormal thought and redirect your
