  1. Best critical care book

    Dodongo replied to abidingpanda's topic in MICU, SICU

    I bought the Guyton and Hall Pocket Companion and read that. It distills the material down into the high yield "need-to-know" information. Very manageable. Then get the Pocket Companion to Robbins...

  2. DEA, should employer pay?

    Dodongo replied to lovely07's topic in Advanced Practice

    Everything for me is reimbursed. DEA, NP license recertifications, cell phone bill (although only a portion),

  3. Who will do CNS role?

    Dodongo replied to anewsns's topic in Advanced Practice

    Um, no, the things I do were developed or written by physicians, predominantly. I can't say I have ever met, or know of any CNS in my area. Certainly not in my hospital

  4. For ER: FNP or ACNP (Texas)

    Dodongo replied to ZackFlightRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Exactly. It's like AANP giving itself kickbacks. I personally wouldn't want to attend an ENP program, unless it gave me dual certs in FNP and ACNP. NPs limit themselves enough. The last thing I...

  5. PAs Do Not Like Us

    Dodongo posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    New forum idea? - Professional PA General Discussion - Physician Assistant Forum I just thought this was funny. Poor PAs. Admittedly better training model but falling behind

  6. For ER: FNP or ACNP (Texas)

    Dodongo replied to ZackFlightRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would say ENP program, FNP + AGACNP or ACPNP + AGACNP. I had a professor that worked ER with adult gerontology acute care and pediatric acute care. ACNPs are trained to handle obstetric emergencies...

  7. Why don't more NPs advocate for better training?

    Dodongo replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Patently false. You cannot teach yourself

  8. Why don't more NPs advocate for better training?

    Dodongo replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My state has a bill in the house for independent NP practice. I have written to my representatives explaining NP education and recommending against FPA until NP education is standardized. I also...

  9. Realistic Facts About FNP in Northeast Ohio

    Dodongo replied to WellNurse83's topic in Advanced Practice

    NPs are trained in Western medicine. So as long as by integrative medicine, you mean traditional, allopathic medicine + addressing the physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental...

  11. FNP's in acute care

    Dodongo replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do a dual Pediatric Primary Care and Pediatric Acute Care Combined Program. For example:

  12. Where do you practice as a NP?

    Dodongo replied to Azureshunter's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm an ACNP and RNFA working for a surgical specialty. I have days in the OR and seeing patients in the hospital, and days in the

  13. FNP's in acute care

    Dodongo replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    FNP programs do not prepare you for acute care - at all. In fact, most programs will not let their students do clinical in the hospital at all. A post-master's certificate is not one course. It is...

  14. Kaplan FNP

    Dodongo replied to Zuskie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    By all means, if you are OK with attending possibly the worst NP school in the

  15. Walden University

    Dodongo replied to amandawhitley's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And again, poorly prepared NPs relying too much on their RN experience, unaware of their own poor preparation in their self taught

  16. Walden University

    Dodongo replied to amandawhitley's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My group will not hire NPs from Walden anymore. There are plenty of hospital systems in Minnesota, where Walden is based, that actually list on the job posting that they will not hire from Walden....

  17. FNPagnpFNPFNP....no it's AGNP

    Dodongo replied to GraceOnly's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm just saying, ask an adult gero primary care NP if 1 class and 1 rotation in adult primary care is thorough. Ask a pediatric NP if 1 class and 1 rotation in pediatric primary care is thorough....

  18. NP specialty similar to postpartum nursing?

    Dodongo replied to futurenurse1620's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is true. The baby factory in my city uses this model. The obstetricians and CNMs care for the mother and fetus up through delivery, and then the pediatrics service will assume the care of the...

  20. FNPagnpFNPFNP....no it's AGNP

    Dodongo replied to GraceOnly's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If I remember correctly, only 7% of all NPs are ACNP. So I wouldn't get my panties in a bunch when/if they refer to me as a FNP. If I had the time and the energy... I would just kindly and...

  21. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Dodongo replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Every nurse, regardless of previous experience is trained to recognize and work within their own knowledge base. If you don't know what a medication is - YOU DON'T ADMINISTER IT - until you look it...

  22. Texas Medical Board Attempting to Limit Scope of Practice

    Dodongo posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think we should all be aware of proposed rules by the Texas Medical Board, as published in the Texas Register on January 25, 2019. The proposed rules are found on this website, under the hyperlink...

  24. Resume tips for AP nursing?

    Dodongo replied to tejon's topic in Advanced Practice

    I wouldn't list the hours of each rotation unless you spent a considerable amount of time over the minimum requirements. 160 hours of women's health or, 180 of pediatrics is just embarrassing and...

  25. FNPagnpFNPFNP....no it's AGNP

    Dodongo replied to GraceOnly's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    All the NPs, PAs, CRNAs, etc, are referred to as APPs in my system as well. But, specifically, all NPs, regardless of specialty, are referred to as
