  1. Nurse Practitioner -FNP

    Uroboros replied to nursing#101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Apologies no one has responded to your common question. I'll crack the ice as simply as possible. First, I'd suggest you do your research regarding where you want to live and practice as FNP may not...

  2. Where do you stand on opening things up during the Pandemic?

    Uroboros replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You do realize we are all anonymous here for good reason?Truly, just a friendly

  3. Where do you stand on opening things up during the Pandemic?

    Uroboros replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's a quote here from the end of my posting, followed by an editorial that has little if anything to do with the citation? Respectfully, rather than an ongoing litany of emotions run rampant, can...

  4. Where do you stand on opening things up during the Pandemic?

    Uroboros replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We stand at the precipice of this issue, especially those of us on the front lines of COVID testing and treatment, as I wind down my day at a high volume urban COVID center. Comparing this to the...

  5. Valid Covid19 Dx?

    Uroboros replied to Silver_Rik's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nothing has copyrights here my friend. Glad it

  6. Valid Covid19 Dx?

    Uroboros replied to Silver_Rik's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Checkout some of the solid literature on "cytokine storm", which follows criteria many APP's were following before we had COVID PCR testing. The labs you mention are some of the precursors. In our...

  7. CRNA to ACNP or FNP repost

    Uroboros replied to CVCRNA1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ACNP, FNP here with PhD in works. Other convoluted alphabet soup credentials I won't mention but you get the point. I was actually accepted to CRNA school along with several NP programs many years...

  8. Paramedics in the ED

    Uroboros replied to EDMEDIC's topic in Emergency

    see: Basic Terms of Service #2. special attention to subheading: Foul Language/ Profanity Oh and thread derailment of your own thread.

  9. NURSING IS A TOXIC CAREER!

    Uroboros replied to QualityRN's topic in General Nursing

    There's a real flaw in our worldview if all we see is something that leads to more nihilism. The OP sounds more like a much needed decompression session, and these cyber-social platforms are okay for...

  10. Paramedics in the ED

    Uroboros replied to EDMEDIC's topic in Emergency

    This is another old debate, as evident by the dated article. Seems difficult for medics to make the transition from field to hospital practice, and understandably since the two are very different. In...

  11. Low Pay...for New Grad?

    Uroboros replied to HealthNutNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately there is not a "typical salary". And really I'm not attempting to stir business semantics. Sure anyone can go to salary.com, Google anything, or curbside gossip approach. But it all...

  12. Want some more fun? Here's another conspiracy theory.

    Uroboros replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes! Hitchen's razor! Rare to see any post-modern quotes, ironically in a post-modern

  13. NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?

    Uroboros replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Student loans are the worst. They are government owned, and you cannot default or even chapter 11. And good luck trying to prove "undue hardship" with the land of the free to get out of one. Students...

  14. ADN vs ABSN vs DEMSN?

    Uroboros replied to miqbal1109's topic in General Students

    Nursing was my second career choice. I was attempting to be a free lance writer but quickly realized this was not going to pay the bills. After completing a CNA program that only took several weeks I...

  15. ISTJ Nurse Specialty Recommendation

    Uroboros replied to ISTJ nurse's topic in General Specialties

    Philosophy is just fascinating, if you think about it, pun intended. Interests me your archetypal choice of ISTJ, and practice in ICU where every bell and whistle exists non-stop. As a reductionist...

  16. Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

    Uroboros replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    Disclaimer; I am biased in the direction of education. OP says they completed the first half of NP school? That would mean an MSN would be nearly complete. My best advice, finish that, an MBA, or...

  17. Want some more fun? Here's another conspiracy theory.

    Uroboros replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Entertaining as most conspiracy theories are, but easily debunked with good fact and logic as already mentioned. I think there's easier and safer ways to spread chem trails personally. How about...

  18. Facial coverings effective?

    Uroboros replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The authors of this BMJ article, published in 2015, have written a recent response to their work in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. article....

  19. AGACNP vs Nurse Executive Leadership/Administration

    Uroboros replied to crownsk's topic in General Specialties

    First I applaud your efforts for personal and professional endeavors beyond the bedside. Nursing offers more room for growth in these areas than most careers. Of course it comes down to the...

  20. My work is pressuring me to come in when I'm sick, please advise me

    Uroboros replied to DogLady's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Now I'm fairly uninformed on Canadian employment law, but I do believe the idea of "at-will" does not exist there, as mentioned initially by NunNurseCat in Florida and the state law there. This is...

  21. States are reopening. As a nurse who takes care of COVID, how do you personally feel about going out and seeing people?

    Uroboros replied to EDScrubLife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    First, it's quite admirable or even noble you even have the presence of mind to consider ongoing social isolation beyond our present day to day circumstances, but maintain a healthy self awareness of...

  22. How do you do lab work on patients while maintaining social distancing?

    Uroboros replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The hierarchical de facto system of governing these threads continues to make the best power point material for my courses. I mean seriously, you cannot make this kind of whimsical stuff up. I...

  23. Would you "adopt" a nurse or allow yourself to be "adopted" (For Nurses' Week)?

    Uroboros replied to Sour Lemon's topic in General Nursing

    Making an existential experience out of every discussion seems to be a real reoccurring trend here. My comment was directed to provoke some legal-ethical thoughts beyond the surface ideas of charity...

  24. Would you "adopt" a nurse or allow yourself to be "adopted" (For Nurses' Week)?

    Uroboros replied to Sour Lemon's topic in General Nursing

    That's a great point, as does nearly every alphabet soup of business associations, because they are all founded on loose ethics? Why don't you share specifically with us which code you are referring...

  25. Would you "adopt" a nurse or allow yourself to be "adopted" (For Nurses' Week)?

    Uroboros replied to Sour Lemon's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting that the AMA gives physicians clear guidance on this. See Code of Ethics Provision 1.2.8. Although it pertains more to influential gifts on service, I'd suggest we take a hard look....
