  1. dosage calculations

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to notnursezelda's topic in General Students

    I absolutely love math. If nursing problems were all math problems, there would be no need to study for me, because the approach is the same each way,. I use dimensional analysis. Not that CRAZY...

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    @hgwalter91 congrats! I'm sure you are glad that is over. It's like the restless cloud hanging over my head. Everything is focused on this NCLEX. Can't work out or anything. Every little time I have,...

  11. New Grad - Burnout

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to bxh5164's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This gives my method of madness of holding out for that ICU experience more credence, because I know me. And, if I were having to deal with the conflict of patient safety that you are dealing with on...

  12. Cath Lab RN Salary

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to gjtcvlab's topic in Cardiac

  13. Thinking of leaving being an NP: job market vs. quality of life questions

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to phosphorus's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OKay. Entrepreneurs aren't for everybody. While I was in school, I had my own phlebotomy business, and it's not hard to manage at all. You keep a tally of your income and expenses, and write that off...

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school has really opened my eyes to the potential of what nurses can be--quite exceptional thinkers!! Who knew that NURSES could give recommendations for treatment--the component of the SBAR....

  15. Thinking of leaving being an NP: job market vs. quality of life questions

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to phosphorus's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm thinking of becoming a DNP, but my understanding is with your title, you can work as a MD, but just can't prescribe narcotics. So why don't you start your own business. I'm not sure what type of...

  16. Residencies or extended programs in latin america?

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to phosphorus's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That is an interesting idea. The nursing field promotes cultural diversity, and yet it lacks in connections with non-US opportunities to gain a non-US education experience. I was thinking going to...

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to bella14k's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  18. Nurse student advice

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to _bobby_leee's topic in General Students

    For a person that now has two degrees, where the first one I couldn't do anything with, except go back to school, I would axe the Liberal Arts degree. Those degrees are for people who don't know what...

    CriticalCareRN1 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Travel

    I think you may be on to something. No response from the email I sent wanting to know more about this opportunity since the phone call didn't transpire. Just gave them a taste of my accolades and...
