    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    zmansc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Research for many drugs is funded by pharm companies, absolutely. Especially new drugs, they are required to fund and perform that research to prove safety and efficacy of the new treatment. It is the...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    zmansc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    .org sites are no different than .com, just didn't get there to claim the site name first so they went with the next best, .org. Yes, wiki's can be edited and you have to be careful what you get from...

    zmansc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are you seriously asking me this question? It was asked and answered so many times earlier in this thread you either didn't read it, or are simply trolling for responses. To indicate that you have...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    zmansc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Andi - you are correct that one can find published studies that say many things, and some of them are flat out wrong. That is why "science is always evolving", no one on here has disagreed with that,...

    Some Final Simmons Questions

    zmansc replied to mtg0884's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can't speak to the specifics of Simmons, there are others on here who will be able to fill you in with those details. As BostonFNP mentioned research will be an important part of any program, but I...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    zmansc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, really that is not "good data", that is simply a website that collects postings from the general internet and aggregates it to make it easier for one to find BS for either side of a debate. Since...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    zmansc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just so you understand, these links to sensationalistic websites are not data, or studies, or in any way scientific. They are merely someone's attempt at persuasion without any fact behind them. By...

    Letters of recommendation

    zmansc replied to CTRN'11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Some schools will be specific about what they want. Others may not. Follow the advice of the school first, if that isn't specific enough, seek out previous students and ask what worked for

    Advice on which route to take as an NP

    zmansc replied to kahqgc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First as a disclaimer, I don't know much of anything about Med/Spa, so I can't really give specific advice on that side of things. My gut would tell me that your perception that you would be...

    The Emergency Department: Where pain isn't what the patient says it is.

    zmansc replied to CaptCrzy's topic in Emergency

    No it absolutely won't treat a desire or need for narcotics, I didn't mean to imply that. Sorry if I gave that impression. It will however treat the underlying pain and the analgesic effect is...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    zmansc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have to say this thread has been an eye opener for me. I did not realize that there were so many nurses who were not taught in their RN program how to read and evaluate science and journal articles....

    Ivy League Education - Difference in Salary?

    zmansc replied to Cosmetic RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Opinion: I doubt you would see a difference in monetary compensation based on either degree. I have no facts to back this up. I know there are studies that show the average salary for grads at...

    Relationships with floor nurses?

    zmansc replied to theantichick's topic in Emergency

    I'm sorry, but I'm having difficulty understanding how an inability for basic communication between coworkers on a receiving unit is a problem that should force the ED to delay the patients care (as...

    The Emergency Department: Where pain isn't what the patient says it is.

    zmansc replied to CaptCrzy's topic in Emergency

    Well, last I checked NM was still stateside, and no act of congress is required here. Maybe we have a more progressive administration.... I predict it will get more use as opioid use in EDs continues...

    Relationships with floor nurses?

    zmansc replied to theantichick's topic in Emergency

    Hum, sounds like some tension. I do a written report (SBAR) tubed to the floor, a phone report, and of course most of what I give in both of those is in the chart at least once, so the floor nurse has...
