    Women's Health vs Family NP

    Jory replied to khmora's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First of all..is your computer broken or something wrong with your screen? Did I not say from THE BEGINNING that I didn't have a source? Did I not say from THE BEGINNING that I would call the...

    IV Drug incompatibilities

    Jory replied to kerussll's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Never count on your memory..you'll find out quick if you are tired, you'll be more likely to make a mistake. You'll learn the common ones very quickly, the ones you give most every day. Drugs like...

    Horrible Monday, lost job, extremely late to another job interview

    Jory replied to sw1242's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm confused...why were you interviewing at another job when you supposedly already had one? That makes no sense. Also, it was technically your fault for scheduling both on the same

    Obligation to respond: what is your take?

    Jory replied to kRN0512's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, no reason to stop if EMS is around. I wouldn't either. The only things that I have helped with is when there wasn't anyone around to

    Women's Health vs Family NP

    Jory replied to khmora's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Pull up an WHNP program at any graduate school and then an FNP program. WHNP would be a one-year program if one semester of women's health is all that was needed. Functioning similarly is not the...

    Women's Health vs Family NP

    Jory replied to khmora's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I cannot speak for the other specialties, but several professors mentioned that there are new guidelines that are going to take place in 2015 with regards to specialty practice for women's health....

    Misdemeanor purged??? Confused.

    Jory replied to freedom01's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Purged is a layman term. Expunged is the legal term. That is why you cannot get documents on it...b/c once it's expunged, guess what? Not only can nobody else access it...YOU cannot access it...

    Obligation to respond: what is your take?

    Jory replied to kRN0512's topic in General Nursing

    They get sued because they do things they are not trained to do or they make stupid decisions. I don't even know if I live in state that has a Good Samaritan law, because to me, it doesn't matter. Do...

    Obligation to respond: what is your take?

    Jory replied to kRN0512's topic in General Nursing

    I think in this day and age, too many nurses freak out unnecessarily over this issue. Ever wonder how doctors in public, are always willing to help but nurses always claim that it's not a good idea...

    Testing out of A&P

    I agree with this and I would wager that is going to be a course that you won't be permitted to "test out" of

    Contacting current employer?

    Jory replied to kcdunlap's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Speak to anyone in HR and if someone is still working for an employer "No" is the typical response. Inquiries from someone checking dates of employment is a red-flag that you are getting ready to...

    Women's Health vs Family NP

    Jory replied to khmora's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNP in women's health is nowhere near as extensive as the training in a WHNP program. WHNP's are also trained in full prenatal care up to the birth, but they don't actually deliver. The scope of...

    Can a nurse refuse to participate in a code?

    Jory replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    This has always surprised me as well, because I can assure you, if I had a self-directed DNR and someone decided to override it (be it MD, family or anyone else), whether I'm a nurse or not, I am...

    How unfortunate. That surprises me that any patient/family member would agree to

    Do potential employers owe you an explaination?

    Jory replied to Marshall1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'll tell you exactly what I have done in the past that has got an instant response. "Dear Mr. Jones: I want to thank you again for the opportunity to interview for the position at General Hospital....

    BE CAREFUL on social networks

    Jory replied to Chico David's topic in General Nursing

    This, I can tell you, is a false sense of security. If you think that your comments are safe, you are 100%

    I fail Everything!!! How could I ever be a nurse?

    Jory replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    The biggest advice to give a nursing student is this: Nursing classes are not like any other classes you'll have in any other subject. When you take other tests, there is only one "correct"...

    I fail Everything!!! How could I ever be a nurse?

    Jory replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    Are you reading everything or reviewing everything? Are you making notes to where you understand the entire concept? Do you take notes during class..detailed ones? I was often surprised at how many...

    Mad at myself

    Jory replied to duke1158's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How about compassion and understanding that is lacking among humans...some people do this just fine on their own, some people are so dense that they need to have it crammed down their throat. The...

    Can a nurse refuse to participate in a code?

    Jory replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. In my experience, when our unit started allowing parents to stay, they understood very quickly how many people were involved in saving a baby's life and if we brought them back, they found...

    Can a nurse refuse to participate in a code?

    Jory replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly, don't see how your hospice gets around this because written consents for anything can be verbally withdrawn at any time. I would seriously doubt that, "but you signed the form" would hold...

    Would I be able to handle Chem & Psych and get A's while working 25 hours per week?

    Jory replied to nursingstudentsarah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry and Psychology shouldn't be an issue, however, you really, really need to think about your work schedule and start making plans to cut back if you can get accepted into a nursing

    Can a nurse refuse to participate in a code?

    Jory replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    You can refuse to hang blood because of religious reasons because rarely, is it an instant, life or death issue and another nurse can do it. You can refuse to participate in an abortion, for one,...

    Mad at myself

    Jory replied to duke1158's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to go back and re-calculate your grades, seems very strange if you had 97% average, then 5 more assignments that you got 100% on...that a zero on one test brought your grade down to 68%. I...
