  1. Never wanna take students again.

    Dranger replied to remotefuse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What's a guy nurse? Is that like a girl

  2. Nurses thrown under the bus

    Dranger replied to GM1928's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I feel like it got ignored because none of the nurses were familiar with it. This is where you ask for help. Call the ICU and ask. You shouldn't need orders after day 7 to change a dressing....

  3. Advanced patho/stats

    Dranger replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Advanced patho seemed to be more in depth than undergrad but also a bit easier. I attribute this to experience and exposure though. There's a big difference between me taking patho as a college...

  4. Profession for some...attempted by many..

    Dranger replied to jdruds's topic in General Nursing

    Define "vent", define

  5. Which branch has the best uniforms in your opinion

    Dranger replied to Blue Robin's topic in Government, Military

    I am in the Army FWIW. In my opinion the Marines (MARPAT) have the best daily duty uniform. The ACU was terrible, but I do like the new OCP or multicam

  6. Army fy 2016

    Dranger replied to sarahmarie14's topic in Government, Military

    Do the online portion as fast as possible, you get retirement points for it as well. Use BAs to do it but I am telling you that you will need to do it at home as well. You don't want to be that...

  7. Army Perioperative Nurse (66E)

    Dranger replied to burnetmw's topic in Government, Military

    Reserves to AD is next to impossible as a 66H and the chance they would send you to 66E school is slim. I had orders for 8A school (even though I work ICU) and they cancelled it a week before I was...

  8. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    Dranger replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The problem is many NP schools with online education are suspect at best. PA schools get the foundation and clinical practice to make them excellent generalists. The OJT comes afterwords, but the...

  9. Profession for some...attempted by many..

    Dranger replied to jdruds's topic in General Nursing

    As an ICU nurse I see M/S floor trying to send us patients all of the time because they are too "difficult". These patients are the ones no one wants and there truly is no reason to send them to the...

  10. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    Dranger replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Right, but with that train of thought you are going to have to concede that ACNPs could also function outside of the hospital. If an FNP has no clinical experiences in a hospital and is able to do it...

  11. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    Dranger replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Who said anything about ICU? ACNPs are simply acute/inpatient care, period. I am not defensive, I am just trying to understand why you think if a hospitalist role would be better fit by an FNP. I am...

  12. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    Dranger replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Like I said, FNPs are hired for hospitalist positions simply because there is no ACNP available. What is a rational reason to hire a FNP over an ACNP for an inpatient position? There is no reason and...

  13. Night shift for new grads.

    Dranger replied to Nurse_Brezo's topic in General Nursing

    Working out will suck, days off suck sometimes. I like the people, pay and work flow better at night though. Best tip I have is on your last night of a run stay up all day after you get off so you can...

  14. Maintaining health insurance - Working FT/attending NP school PT

    Dranger replied to DesertSky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I use Tricare through the Army reserves but I realize my situation is unique. Paying through state options? Health insurance through the school is pricey. It is certainly possible to work FT through...

  15. Recommendations for online FNP-30k range

    Dranger replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wait someone is actually concerned by a large amount of clinical hours?

  16. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    Dranger replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In your situation, it seems like they are taking what they can get. There might not be a lot of ACNP applicants. But if the job was open for a hospitalist position and a FNP and ACNP applied, who do...

  17. Having No Empathy For Certain Residents

    My phone is

  18. Having No Empathy For Certain Residents

    Dranger replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty of patients I don't like and many who I think are just a waste of oxygen. However, at the ed of the day I just do my job per its requirements. That's just being professional. I don't REALLY...

  19. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    Dranger replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As I said above some ACNPs can work outpatient and some FNPs can go inpatient. Just depends on the area. If the OPs primary goal is urgent care or office then go FNP or AGNP. But to EXPECT to work...

  20. FNP vs ACNP? Please help

    Dranger replied to Smccar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I wouldn't say the ACNP market is slim. In my area, only ACNPs are hired for inpatient work and many are also in specialty outpatient clinics where they round in the hospital as

  21. Customer satisfaction callbacks

    Dranger replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I've told that to patient's families before when they complain I wake them in a freaking ICU. I am not even nice about it. Would you rather me let your family members medication drips run dry and miss...

  22. Need reasons why becoming a nurse first, then becoming a doctor, is a bad idea

    Dranger replied to jeaux's topic in General Nursing

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL What hospital have you found that will pay for 250K+ med school? Yup I am sure that 3K TA with a RN contract is going to cover it... C'mon

  23. Nursing to med school experiences?

    Dranger replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Copied from another thread. As a nurse who did pre-med this is why it is a bad idea: 1. Its the longest round about way to get to a goal 2. Almost none of the nursing pre-reqs count towards pre-med...

  24. Need reasons why becoming a nurse first, then becoming a doctor, is a bad idea

    Dranger replied to jeaux's topic in General Nursing

    I am really not sure the statistics don't show if the test takers too all of the required courses or maybe just a few. Even humanities and other non-science majors scored

  25. Customer satisfaction callbacks

    Dranger replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah its a great idea for OTHER people to do. I don't have time during my shift to make blind calls that will probably end up pissing me
