1. Surgical NP, is this a thing?

   Cllaws889 replied to JKperiop's topic in NP Students

   This is a debate in my hospital where I work. They are currently not allowing uncredentialed RNFA NP's to assist in surgery due to insurance liability, but will assist/pay for RNFA training (Which is completely ridiculous because you are not billing ...

2. EKG Resources

   Cllaws889 replied to MJC2118's topic in NP

   OP I would recommend looking into a CE course near you. A lot of people that I know speak highly of them (my facility incorporates several Rapid Response RN positions and many have done a variety of 2 day courses. They all talk highly about them in t...

3. Hospitalist NP Certification ever be likely?

   Cllaws889 replied to Bumashes's topic in NP

   I would say just get a post masters in acute care setting, it's not that long or expensive. Then if you're really worried after awhile down the road you can always get Fellow of Hospital designation for a resume. Membership – Fellow Criteria | Societ...

4. Which route? ? FNP or AGPCNP

   Cllaws889 replied to David Offenbaker's topic in NP Students

   I would definitely say FNP is the most marketable. Even if it is a primary care track depending on your prior experience with acute care you shouldn't have any trouble landing an inpatient job or something along those lines. At least in my state (IN)...

5. I am a new nurse trying to figure out how to get a doctor to stop bullying me at work.

   Cllaws889 replied to Mississippideer's topic in Relations

   OP: This sounds like an advocacy issue. Remember as a RN you have an innate TALENT to advocate for the safety of the patient. The surgeon sounds like a real egotistical jerk. Peer to peer violence in the workplace is a recognized issue by numerous he...

9. Tricky/Unfair Nursing professor..HELP

   Cllaws889 replied to futurefotorn's topic in General Students

   I would say that if the Dean reviews the course and finds no reason to revamp the class then there shouldn't be any reason to revamp the class. At my college I've heard of this situation coming up with a few of the instructors that used to teach the ...

10. was reported by a nurse... what's going to happen?

    Cllaws889 replied to Priaz's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure if you got the Charge Nurses okay and the Nurses "okay" and your instructors okay the incident becomes nullified because you had direct communication with a higher staff member, the nurse herself and your instructor...hand hygiene is ...

    Cllaws889 replied to Elkay's topic in General Students

    My school allows summer coursework in Nursing classes. right now I'm taking Psych Nursing and Med/Surg I. I don't recommend taking summer course loads UNLESS you know how a summer schedule routine works and are confident you can keep up. You have 10 ...

    I would strongly suggest that you invest your money in a diagnostic book of clinical microbacteria of some sort, I can't recall which one I used for my labwork but I do know that most micro labs require you to identify an unknown culture and correctl...

    Cllaws889 replied to funtimes's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I cannot begin to explain to you how important it is for you to have a microbiology, chemistry and physics base in order to understand and grasp fully what is going on in the body for the physiology portion of your coursework. There are so many thing...

15. Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    Cllaws889 replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Students

    I don't think you understand the role of the nurse completely. To care for a person in their time of need requires you to put ALL personal thoughts, likes/dislikes, and bias aside to focus fully on keeping a persons "ticking" if you object to somethi...
