WKShadowNP DNP, APRN

In a hospital or other 24/7 care facility, probably not. I was a head nurse in an outpatient facility and I did 4 9s with a half day on Friday for my admin time. I was always on the floor for procedures during my longer days.

Not at all. I don't know that I could have been as gracious.

The religious issue is a red herring, I'm afraid, and creates a fertile and divisive foundation for non sequitur arguments. Various staff have responsibilities, beliefs, and preferences so it is management's responsibility to maintain coverage. Perio...

Mi Vida loca, I have grown fonder and fonder of you because so many of your posts echo my own perspective . This one mirrors mine so closely that I felt compelled to do more than simply like your post. Keep on rockin' it!

I had a small personal thermal device, looked like a small fridge that I used as a home health and hospice nurse. It would warm or cool. But the warmer wasn't that fantastic. My soup, for example, would barely be lukewarm or palatable. The cooling fe...

Happy to see you back, sweetness. Hugs to you!

Vanderbilt has aprn tracks that you can add RNFA to so you could assist in surgery and see patients outside of the or.

Recently I had an ortho need and they had an after hours clinic. My urgent need was met. However, the follow up appt could only be during regular hours. I felt that was a missed opportunity because I'd either have to come up on my day off or miss w...

Recruiters love to send me locums offerings. If I Could, I'd consider the chance to travel and work with such a variety. Good luck. Have fun.

To avoid redundancy call it the PI team. Plus, there's the inside joke that it's irrational. 10 points to all who get it.

Oh deers. This thread is one of the more , ah, shall i say memorable ones.

My ERs prefer FNP to see all ages, but even better love the dual cert with acnp or the newer ENP.

Jules A is a member here from whom you could get answers . Search her posts. Good luck.

Yes. I am moving what I make over what I made as an RN to a savings account with the goal to pay off my house and student loans.

What I rely on daily are: Pocket Medicine, UpToDate, Epocrates, and the Tarascon Hospital Medicine And of course, my colleagues. They are invaluable and each has offered pearls, insights. Some even ask ME for guidance on some things. (which floored m...

High and low? Have you heard of Jules?

I don't usually have bangs but on a particularly difficult case I somehow had a loose piece of hair fall in the way of catherizing a patient who had no ability to flex hips or knees. It was like trying to pry open rusty pliers. I took my clean trauma...

For Frank's sake. In 4th grade I wrenched my neck at school and had torticollis so bad I couldn't hold my head up. My friend said my neck was broken. At age 9 i was smart enough to know better.

Dude.

I thought I couldn't like you more than I already Do, but that's pretty cool.

If you'd like to expand your options, FNP might benefit the most.

I wanted to add another: Qx calculate. Helps with several measures like PERC rule, CHADVASC, Wells score, etc.

As a frequent typo culprit I had a chuckle from this.

And Kylo, RN
