    Why I'm Leaving the Nursing field and Nursing School

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to sweetcaroline101's topic in General Nursing

    I have always said, and taught my kids, do what you love and forget about money. I think you have to listen to your gut and do what is right for you. There is no sense spending 20-40 hours a week...

    Which graduate degree should I pursue?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to nfdfiremedic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'd suggest both because of your stated goals, but the MSN would be a minimum. Depending upon the size of the organization, you may need a doctorate for that

    I don't know, but I am aghast that your credentialing department didn't notice! Call the BON and ask. They'll tell

    Help ! Urine test came back diluted!

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to samantha120.'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this is happening to you, but I don't think getting lawyer is a smart move. You can't force them to hire you, and getting adversarial is just going to make them think they are dodging a...

    Is Mandatory DNP by 2015 a Done Deal?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to SandBetweenMyToes's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Almost every single aspect of Vidablue's post is dead wrong. S/he has not idea what they are talking about, in addition to some obvious (misinformed) bias. Take it with a grain of salt. Vida, I am a...

    FNPs in Urgent Care

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to alfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One of my closet friends is an urgent care doc. He loves to refer all the PITA patients to me by telling them "that is a chronic problem, go see a PCP. Here's a referral to a good one I know........

    Cattiness an issue as a NP??

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to raindrop's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is none in my workplace. I observed it among my female colleagues when I was staff nursing, but wasn't ever really a participant or victim. We don't have too much to gossip about, except for...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wanted to add, this is the current policy in all three major health systems in this city(1 for profit, 1 not for profit, and one major university), which collectively serve about 1 million people....

    ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It happens here all the time. EDs routinely refuse to treat any chronic issues at all naturally (as well they should) and for about the past year they wont treat non-emergent acute issues either. For...

    I agree with most of what you have said here. I am sorry you have had a hard time finding work, but if it is any consolation, you have the very best screen name on

    ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My state has welcomed the ACA. Open enrollment is going to be interesting and we are counting down! My company estimates we will get as many as 18,000 new primary care patients. Medicaid...

    FNPs! What area were you in when you were a nurse?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to whomiskim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    20 years as a RN: med-surg, critical care, trauma ED, flight nursing, admin, education. The majority in critical care/flight/trauma. Now FNP in a family practice clinic, light years away from all of...

    Nurses How Do You Deal With Biased Patient Assignments?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a job like this once. There were two of us doing this sort of thing, along with some infusions, but no one liked the other nurse. She was unpleasant, abrupt, missed a lot of sticks and people...

    Medical marijuana, role of the nurse, professional organization

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to hotflashion's topic in Patient Medications

    I have a lot of patients that use MM and even more that lack a qualifying diagnosis and therefore use the non-medicinal variety, lol. I don't have a problem with it, frankly. I do have one problem...

    Evidence-based Justification for <40hr/week & Per Diem Scheduling?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to mountainandsurf's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is anything wring with wanting to work less than 1.0FTE. I think one is looking through rose colored glasses if they are expecting full time benefits for part-time work. I am not...

    Advancements and Pay?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Ryguy115's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't say what part of the country you live in; that makes a big difference. You will get to your six figure goal a lot faster in California than you will in Alabama. Generally speaking, "down...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to RNGuy12's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    No, one can not logically argue HIPAA. Well they couldn't but they would be completely wrong. As the other NP is the practice owner, he is the Respondeat Superior, and has an implied duty to review...

    I don't know what "dunned" means. You were dunned for a large bill? I don't understand that expression. In any event, you said you don't really care about that, but I agree with the previous posters...
