  3. "I have an ethical problem"

    doctorwhofan replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    My facility is pretty good at searching high and low for a place to send people that need rehab or snfs or just monitoring for a few days. My pet peeve is when a pt is unfunded, doesn't need rehab,...

    doctorwhofan replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I just had to google camming. I feel like I did when I had to google twerking. I already knew what it was; I just didn't know those crazy kids had given it a

  5. Things you'll never forget from your nursing instructors?

    doctorwhofan replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    That person in the bed? That person is someone's mother, father, daughter or son. When they are being demanding, belligerent, cantankerous, or just a pain in the butt remember you have the privilege...

  9. Question for those of you who precept NP students

    doctorwhofan posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It seems as though the trend these days is for schools to churn out NPs as fast as they can with little regard to how much (if any) experience the student has as a nurse. I know I can't change that....

    doctorwhofan replied to dannygirl04's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm considering buying a pair. Not to hijack this thread, but for those of you that had to "break them in" how did your feet feel? Did they just hurt or did you get blisters as well? Thanks! (Again,...

  15. Question for those of you who precept NP students

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

    Thanks for the advice. I am also of the belief that sometimes people get bad grades. It's weird-I feel he has the book part down ok but the practice part is not there. I don't really feel this is...

  16. Question for those of you who precept NP students

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

    Chelly, Thanks for your reply. I work with an NP that bridged over and had never been a nurse prior to becoming an NP. She is very smart and a great colleague. It's not something that I personally...

  18. Unobserved fall and I feel awful!

    doctorwhofan replied to EmeryRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Look at it this way-you did round on her, you did answer her call for help, you didn't ignore her hip pain, you got the ortho team involved, and truthfully she could have fallen at home and not been...

    doctorwhofan replied to matthewandrew's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't know how other schools do clinicals but my school put the student in charge of finding his/her own preceptor. I picked clinicals that would be the most beneficial for boards and in the long...

  20. No work experience at all? What to do?!

    doctorwhofan replied to KGarcia7's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Make sure you note your clinical experiences on your CV. Not as work experience, but I think you can list it under schools. If you had a strong experience with good work ethic then sometimes this can...

    doctorwhofan replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My grandmother has a yearly colonostomy......I've given up trying to tell her she's having a colonoscopy. I once had a pt family member telling me the surgical history and he kept saying that she'd...

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

    Appreciate the info. I currently work in trauma at a level 1 center so I get to see a lot but I'm sure you can understand the idea of setting out on my own is nerve wracking. But the lure of...

    doctorwhofan posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi guys, I've seen a few threads on this subject but they are all a few years old. I was wondering if anyone out there is currently traveling as an NP and what your thoughts are on it. What are...
