Except that the private world lives and dies by Press Ganey. Press Ganey Has a lot to do with the Opioid crisis and MRSA. How manipulative is videoing this event without the Dr permission?

Here is the link to the study: Capability Beliefs to Access and Implement Research-Based Knowledge into Practice in Emergency Department RNs Who Provide Direct Patient Care: A Two-Group RCT Hello! Invitation to Participate My name is Ivy McKinney, AP...

Hello Colleagues, I spoke too soon about closing my study. When I looked at the reports, there were fewer usable surveys than I expected. Would you please consider clicking on the link and being a participant in my 2 group study? Here is the link to ...

Today is the last day to participate. If you have already, thank you. If you have not, please consider participating . Please help if you can. Thanks

I have seen more nurses lose their jobs over schedule conflicts than anything else. You want to go to church, the other wants to be with her family, that one has small children. The list goes on and on. Scheduling is not easy. You cannot make everyon...

I think your license is safe and you are doing the right thing to leave an unsafe situation that you are powerless to improve. You will most likely be a no rehire but I doubt you would want to go back anyway, if they are still in business. Do not put...

Nurses are the last line of defense for the patient. They are the last one to touch the patient before he medication is given, before the procedure is done, before the operation begins. Nurses have the power to save lives. Many nurses rely on what t...

AbstractAccording to the Institute of Medicine, as many as 98,000 patient deaths occur each year in U.S. health facilities. One primary limitation of current research of nurses' use of research-based knowledge in practice is that the vast majority of...

What bothers me about this line of thinking (bypassing specialists or any other recommended discipline) is that the ER does not take the place of a specialist. It will not take care of a chronic problem. A complaint like this one will likely be triag...

There is a lot going on here. First, your husband has a DVT and a torn meniscus. He also has arthritis. These are separate issues with different treatments. Your husband is also a bricklayer so may have some occupational issues (look up carpenter's k...

I think most times it is a customer service thing than anything else. The patients want it, it makes them feel like we are doing something, and we live and die by Press Ganey these days

PLease keep in touch Vickie! I just got accepted into PhD program. Excited but scared!

So sorry for the position you are in. Have you thought about moving or traveling? I had to do that for a yesr. Can't say it was the most pleasent of experiences but it was a job.

I would say procedures- suturing, intubation, CPAP, I&D Radiology- (This was 100% OTC for me) Psych- meds, emergency holds

I would certainly try it. It is very challenging right now in the job market.I think there is a glut of NP ( at least in my area) and PAs seem to be preferred.

rlianne- good post! I think this is a phenomena that plagues nursing in general not just NPs. I have been an NP for 5 years but in nursing school they chipped out my diploma on a stone tablet! In the old days a "good nurse" was one who could get all ...

Finding a job is very challenging especially in the present climate. There is a lot of competition from PAs (Drs tend to prefer them in my area- long story...) Anyway, a good place to start is to look at the website for NPs in your area- here it is H...

Another reason is pay. In many instances, RN and NP pay in some parts of California are not much different. NP's who practice in salaried office settings and work long hours actually end up making less than RN's who work 3 twelve hours shifts. Sad b...

Jeweles- You are right! Sorry all- I meant to quote the "NOONE DID NOTHING" comment. Sorry RN- dude!

Oh dear Rndude. Are you really an RN? Did you take English in College?

I don't know why Romney has not yet released his taxes. I do not, however believe we should judge Romney or anyone else for their actions. Honestly, I don't think anyone should be forced to release their taxes because it is thier personal buisness an...
