  1. Another new grad looking for your expertise.

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

    As a half-time employee I won't get insurance or vacation. That's consistent with their other employees, though. I have insurance through school for another year and will get insurance through them...

  2. Another new grad looking for your expertise.

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

    Okay! You guys were so awesome last time, I'm hoping to revive this thread with a new question. First, a brief history: a community mental health agency has offered me a half-time position (what I...

  3. What States Pay the Highest and Lowest Nursing Salaries

    Dogen replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of things differ in price from state to state, even city to city. Gas and housing vary wildly. You can find 450sqft studio apartments in Portland that rent for $1700/month, which is a house...

  4. Already have 2 bachelors; which nursing degree is best?

    Dogen replied to skydream's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Forgive me for redirecting, but I think a better question may be to ask what you want to do and then find out the quickest or best way to do that. If you want to do bedside nursing then likely the...

  5. Stanford Rape

    Dogen replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Nationally seven in ten people identify as Christian, about 23% are religiously unaffiliated, and 6% are some other religion. According to Pew the US is "home to more Christians than any other country...

  6. New grad in psych

    Dogen replied to anna_91's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm glad my super long posts are useful to someone, rather than being

  7. New grad in psych

    Dogen replied to anna_91's topic in Psychiatric

    Sure, but you seem to imply that this is more common than an actual mental illness. Evidence suggests that only about 7-25% of people presenting to emergency rooms with a first psychotic episode are...

  8. June 2016 Caption Contest. Win $100!

    Dogen replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Don't worry, I wiped it with a Sani-Cloth, it's safe

  9. Doctor's negative view of NP / Psych NP

    Dogen replied to Granted Fal's topic in Advanced Practice

    I know, apparently in the 21st century we've all got easily bruised

  10. New grad in psych

    Dogen replied to anna_91's topic in Psychiatric

    I have a conversation with them, starting with basics - I'm your nurse, how did you sleep? Did you get breakfast? Do you have a minute to talk? That usually gives me some assessment data (sleep,...

  11. Doctor's negative view of NP / Psych NP

    Dogen replied to Granted Fal's topic in Advanced Practice

    Sweet Jesus. Historically, a general practitioner was someone without a specialty and used to be synonymous with family practice. Your PCP used to be called your GP. Since family practice became a...

  12. New grad in psych

    Dogen replied to anna_91's topic in Psychiatric

    There's an FDA warning against IM olanzapine and any benzo given within one hour. There have been ~50 adverse events and 8 deaths with the combo. The warning on Zyprexa says, "if use of intramuscular...

  13. New grad in psych

    Dogen replied to anna_91's topic in Psychiatric

    Sadly, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with some of what TCASII has said. Bipolar disorder versus drug-induced manic state, or schizophrenia/schizoaffective versus a drug-induced psychosis...

  14. Stanford Rape

    Dogen replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Of course he ******* is. He is solely responsible for his actions, and no one else. So, if a woman drinks to excess and "shows off her body," then not raping her is unfair to men? Can you clarify...

  15. Stanford Rape

    Dogen replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    You must realize that this sounds exactly like telling women that it's their job to manage the actions of men. Her "condition does not excuse his behavior," but she somehow bears blame for it none the...

  16. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    Dogen replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    Ah, my apologies. I'll stand corrected!

  17. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    Dogen replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    Only 25% of the nurses in the Advance survey were at unionized hospitals. As a national survey with respondents from every region of the country anecdotal doesn't seem like the appropriate

  18. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    Dogen replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    I have no idea what you're talking

  19. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    Dogen replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    I'm not trying to discredit any particular researcher, but I do find it disingenuous to compare hospitals on the basis of nursing staff education and mortality rates. The methods of Dr. Aiken's paper...

  20. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    Dogen replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    I like to stress that studies that compare BSN and ADN nurses are typically correlational, not true experiments. As many people know, BSN is required in competitive markets, large cities, and many...

  21. Low GPA but got into ADN program, would like some advice.

    Dogen replied to PJishere's topic in General Students

    Well, nursing school requires a lot of memorization, and that typically means a lot of time spent studying (repetition breeds memory). So, if your grades in the past reflect poor study habits, then...

  22. Shift work and dating

    Dogen replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Tips about dating guys from the internet, from a guy from the internet. 1. Do not shave your head for the first time prior to meeting someone new. 2. Always show up early so they have to look for...

  23. Do you HAVE to have your BSN?

    Dogen replied to banfftank8's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    1. Google up some hospitals in the city you're considering moving 2. Find their websites, specifically the jobs, employment, or careers section 3. See if they require a BSN to work there Based on the...

  24. Does anyone live alone?

    Dogen replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    I lived alone for a long time, because I love living alone (turns out I like living with a partner better, though). Bills are easy to keep up with. They're due about the same time every month, so it's...

  25. mental health CAPSTONE question QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

    Dogen replied to imallinbaby2262's topic in General Nursing

    I think you'd be better off asking more people in your unit. If the topic is relevant to them it'll be received better. My unit has plenty of therapy, for instance. You could make increased therapy a...
