  1. Has anyone ever reported SSI fraud on a patient?

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mommy2be's topic in General Nursing

    I'd first have to determine the legality of doing so, and then I'd have no qualm whatsoever with reporting it. I'm always the first to demand police involvement when I observe something unlawful or...

  2. Best Men's Nursing Shoes

    FuturePsychNP replied to Phillay632's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The ones I posted happen to be the type that I have three pair of from previous life work. When I went to work I wore them so it makes sense (to me) to wear them now to work. I like them because...

  3. Preparing for nursing school (squeamishness, fear of needles, getting in shape?)

    FuturePsychNP replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    I'm not really into "physical nursing" as you put it either. I like knowing stuff, and I like seeing people do stuff. By that I mean, I love learning about physiology and pathophysiology, and I...

  4. getting sick from microbiology

    FuturePsychNP replied to mbkgen's topic in General Students

    Undergrad micro is totally safe. I took it around 12 years ago, and the worst thing about it was the smell, lol. I wouldn't stick your fingers in the colonies and rub your eye, mouth, nose, open...

  5. Cardiac, neuro, or renal?

    FuturePsychNP replied to gabriellegoss's topic in General Students

    Renal is a lot more complex than most people think, but it's interesting so I believe it's "learnable." Cardiac is just fun. It's not really difficult, and most people seem to be interested in it....

  6. What helped you in your first year / semester of nursing school?

    FuturePsychNP replied to Cheripk's topic in General Students

    Relax, absorb, learn, take everything in stride. It's all doable. Many thousands of people have done it from stupid to intelligent, lol. One day at a time, grasshopper. Rather than focusing on the...

  9. What does a great charge nurse need?

    FuturePsychNP replied to clezalla's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It generally depends on the employer. I'm the charge nurse and generally assign new admits to a room, do their admission assessment, and assign a staff member to them. However, if I'm away from the...

  13. psychiatric nursing - clothing

    FuturePsychNP replied to edie1's topic in Psychiatric

    I like to wear these rather than slacks or scrubs: http://www.511tactical.com/All-Products/Pants/Tactical-Pants/Taclite-Pro-Pants.html You can comparatively shop and find them $10-12 cheaper online...

  14. Giving Report

    FuturePsychNP replied to Pinky89's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't at all like the phrase "giving report." I refer to it as "briefing" since we're briefing the oncoming shift for their duties. At my employer, we brief everyone on the unit's oncoming shift...

  15. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's just something I've encountered. I'm not condoning nor denying it. I couldn't care less about what the rationale behind the statement is because I was merely passing the

    FuturePsychNP replied to sleepdeprived1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    LOL. My orientation was, "if you have any questions just ask!" My first day I mostly shadowed and helped out and that wasn't even for a whole day. My second day I took a full, four patient load....

  17. Clinical Psychologist or Psychiatric Nursing?

    FuturePsychNP replied to eroo's topic in Psychiatric

    I chose psych NP because it seems to be the most efficient way to become trained and licensed to be a comprehensive psychiatric provider. Having said that, the NPs in most cases do only med mgmt...

  19. how much experience needed to become an NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to SMRN2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I graudated with the BSN as a career changer, got conditional admission to the MSN/NP program, passed NCLEX, got unconditional admission, summer drifted by, and I waited six weeks after getting...

  20. Sick of the Certs!!!!! Just let 'em be an NP!

    FuturePsychNP replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree wholeheartedly with everything said. I think the amount of certifications that exist for nurses, let alone the fact that many people spell out every cert they have, is ridiculous. I believe...

  23. Chemistry Question - Is it necessary?

    FuturePsychNP replied to Trenata's topic in General Students

    Like I said, it's not necessary. Any chemistry from general to organic to biochem will aid in the understanding of physiology (which is my favorite part of healthcare). An example that immediately...

    FuturePsychNP replied to Findoo's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Is there a con? No, education is a good thing. Is it practical? Well, it depends on what you want to do with it. I'm thinking of a college I read about once that has a master's in "general...
