    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    murseman24 replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    So FullGlass, the MSN that you graduate with from Hopkins is a clinical NP? Like an FNP or acute care

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    murseman24 replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    FullGlass, I believe you are correct. An Ivy League education is a gold star on any resume. I think the question is does it really make enough of a difference to pursue for a nursing degree? As you...

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    murseman24 replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    Not worth it for basic nursing

    Masters vs DNP?

    murseman24 replied to sicurnccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I really don't think the MSN vs DNP job competition will ever be a thing for CRNAs. To be extra competitive in the job market as a CRNA means you are capable of practicing independently, are...

    Masters vs DNP?

    murseman24 replied to sicurnccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If an MDA ever trolled allnurses.com that would be one helluva pitiful MDA. Much better places to troll

    Masters vs DNP?

    murseman24 replied to sicurnccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would go MSN all the way. A lot of DNP programs will allow you to work while completing the DNP portion upfront, so it makes it more palatable. But I don't think you're missing out on any job...

    Standing orders

    murseman24 replied to PSYCHGIRL's topic in Patient Medications

    Yeah, they just signed the order without paying attention to it and are now throwing the nurse under the bus to save their own

    Breaking New Grad Contract

    murseman24 replied to Nursenursexoxo's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm.... I wonder which of the two major hospital systems in Orlando, FL changed the name of their subsidiary hospital group to reflect the name of their holding

    Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    murseman24 replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's just a very old and outdated hierarchical system that brings one profession up at the expense of the rest. Most of ya'll sound like you've drank the Koolaid and are suffering from Stockholm...

    Nursing instructor question

    murseman24 replied to SummerOlaf's topic in General Students

    You won't be paid well as a nursing instructor and you would be doing your students a disservice. Please don't. an NP and PA don't do as much "bedside" care, you can always move on to something like...

    Bedside / ICU Surgery (Decompressive Laparotomies)

    murseman24 replied to ctsurgeryscrubrn's topic in Operating Room

    When I did rapid response we didn't have your role, and most of the patients were medical not complex surgical. I would let the ICU nurses handle the stabilization/ACLS interventions and busy...

    Why?

    Do you think nurses aren’t taught enough about general emergencies/basic info about emergency medicine?

    murseman24 replied to stacylethani's topic in General Nursing

    I once had a GI doc ask me what MAP meant (mean arterial pressure). You can't know everything. Maybe an emergency med doc has the most training for any general issues you might come across on the...

    Do you think nurses aren’t taught enough about general emergencies/basic info about emergency medicine?

    murseman24 replied to stacylethani's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the same exact position as you and had the SAME response. You just stop breathing or have a heart attack and I got you babe. Take your cough and achy tummy somewhere

    Cardiac meds

    murseman24 replied to teddy2009's topic in Patient Medications

    It can cause atropine-resistant bradycardia and hypotension as it has non-competitive alpha and beta adrenergic antagonism. This patient has been on it for a while it sounds and this is just a...

    Cardiac meds

    murseman24 replied to teddy2009's topic in Patient Medications

    I would ask for parameters next time. Things you can do if you don't have them: Look at past vitals before the med was given, and look to see how he tolerated it then. General guidelines if you...

    One NP with online education

    murseman24 replied to Subee2's topic in General Nursing

    The student CRNAs want to work in the rooms with younger CRNAs because they are easier to get along with. Many of the "seasoned" CRNAs haven't read an anesthesia article or book in years and are set...

    Experienced RN in Austin Area cannot find a non-bedside job

    Thready Pulse in Cardiac Arrest

    murseman24 replied to CCU_RN_2's topic in General Nursing

    Calcium, more pressors, fluid, trendelenburg to perfuse the brain, whatever to get the BP up. You may be providing the pt with a better BP with compressions than when you stop doing them, but you...

    Calling MD for possible Antibiotic Rash

    murseman24 replied to mrbobfisher's topic in Patient Medications

    You didn't do anything wrong, I'm sure it's in the protocol somewhere to call for an allergic reaction. Not life threatening but wouldn't beat yourself up too much about

    What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

    murseman24 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good response. I get tired of people treating doctors like gods all of the time. Honestly some of them suck, lets just say it. Some nurses and NPs and CRNAs are awesome and some of them suck as...

    What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

    murseman24 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Willing to train you to do rhizotomies under fluoroscopy? A 3 year "fellowship training"? This sounds quite unique to say the least. I would just be very hesitant, as the adage goes, "if it sounds...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    murseman24 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    As long as it doesn't look like alphabet soup. Maybe ONE certification after you HIGHEST degree earned. ex: BSN, CCRN. Not BSN, ADN, RN-BC CCRN-CMC, ACLS, ABCDEFGH,
