  1. NP Skills

    hcmanp replied to Ari RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As many answers to this as there are state laws and specialties. NPs, in Missouri anyway, can perform procedures for which they have documented training, but since they work in collaborative practice,...

  2. Ear Irrigation

    hcmanp replied to rrorn's topic in General Nursing

    We are in a private office. I prefer the syringe/butterfly luer lock combo. I cut the tubing to about 3/8 inch length. We have the metal device, but I don't like it as well. I know some offices use...

  3. Question for OHNPs

    hcmanp replied to bsherry's topic in Occupational Health

    I just got done with the interview, and I must say it didn't grab me out of the sky and make me holler Eureka! I have been working in private practice for the past 3 years, and this is so very...

  4. Question for OHNPs

    hcmanp replied to bsherry's topic in Occupational Health

    I am looking into industry, and it's for an NP, so I will be interested to see if it will allow me to still practice enough to maintain my certification - I wouldn't want to take that exam again! The...

  5. Question for OHNPs

    hcmanp replied to bsherry's topic in Occupational Health

    I guess the only way to know what a job is going to entail is to go and interview! But I was worried that I might lose some of my NP skills in assessment, and forget what/how to prescribe...

  6. Question for OHNPs

    hcmanp replied to bsherry's topic in Occupational Health

    I am an NP considering making a career change to OHN. Any insights into life as an OHN, and what makes a company desire the NP as opposed to an RN?

    hcmanp posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anybody with information about the pros and cons of being a pharmaceutical rep, please respond. I'm particularly interested in people with actual experience in this field, or know someone who is in...

  8. pharma rep job change?

    hcmanp replied to hcmanp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I lost my private office and am now sharing the space with the individuals who do referrals, resulting in large numbers of people littering "my" office. I had my nose out of joint about that, as well...

  10. Thinking of quitting with only 4 months to go because of clinical anxiety

    hcmanp replied to Diane M's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Have ta think about nursing school again! Part time is not a bad option: I got my MSN while working full time and raising 3 kids and 2 dogs - and then we got a guinea pig! It can be done, but you need...

  11. Kids home from school sick...could it be an opportunity?

    hcmanp replied to javanurse2000's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I thought of something like this once for the same reason it came to you, but I hated peds, and worried about the liability for some kid catching something like meningitis from the kid in the next...

  12. Should nurses have MSNs

    hcmanp replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    Well, this debate has been going on for QUITE some time, and will probably never come to a resolution for reasons that are as complex as they are contentious. Recall, that social work, physical...

  13. I'm having major assessment problems. Please help!!!!

    hcmanp replied to Jessica Student RN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a doctor as a patient in one of my early clinicals, and was desperately trying to palpate the DP pulse without much luck. To make things worse, he kept wiggling his big toe. I finally told him I...

  14. How Old Is Too Old?

    hcmanp replied to etrn1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    In 2 years, you'll be 53. You can be 53 with a new degree, or 53 without. With retirement ages going up, you will still have AT LEAST 15 years in the field to either enjoy what you are doing, or...

  15. Thinking of quitting with only 4 months to go because of clinical anxiety

    hcmanp replied to Diane M's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    babe, if you can't believe yourself, who can you believe? Anyway, I always heard you should always say sweet words, because some day you may have to eat them (hee

  17. Considering nursing need some advice and answers!

    hcmanp replied to momof2girls's topic in Nursing Career

    I did not find them particularly difficult, in fact to the amazement of friends and family, (not to mention me) I ended up tutoring others. I started out by doing the hardest class I could think of at...

  18. Considering nursing need some advice and answers!

    hcmanp replied to momof2girls's topic in Nursing Career

    There are tons of options in nursing, not everything (gasp!) in nursing goes on in the hospital setting. I had the same concerns as you do - I even got faint in an anatomy class. But you do what you...

  19. Thinking of quitting with only 4 months to go because of clinical anxiety

    hcmanp replied to Diane M's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got through most of my classes by remembering my mantra, "you can do anything for 8 weeks" (the length of most half semesters.) Maybe you could break it down into smaller milestones than 4 months,...

  20. Need help with delegation question

    hcmanp replied to nursepotter05's topic in General Nursing

    the clue is in the statement, the lpn oversees the rn - legally this is not an option. Yes, the lpn can assist the new rn, yes, the lpn knows WAY more than the new rn (most likely given the experience...

    hcmanp replied to lcs4cats's topic in General Nursing

    Good teachers, excellent basic education and clinicals, but beware in the master's program! I went ADN to RN-MSN the whole way thru, so have lots of
