  1. American looking to study in Europe to become NP

    Dranger replied to Eurohippus's topic in General Students

    I have also spent time in Europe and if my assumption is silly than your plan is frankly ill-thought out. I know that list well as I was planning to study abroad. The reimbursement and distribution of...

  4. Goal is NP. ASN>BSN>MSN -or - ASN>MSN???

    Dranger replied to BooBear'sMommy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    One of the requirements to get a masters in anything means a bachelor's has be held in something. I haven't seen any ADN to MSN programs that don't require a bachelors. Frankly if they do exist I find...

  6. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    Dranger replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would be curious to see how much of those basic sciences an MD retains after 5 years of practice. I brought up a biochem question to one of the docs once and they just laughed thinking I would...

  7. Need some help from my fellow APNs - interviewing for hospitalist position....

    Dranger replied to traumaRUs's topic in Advanced Practice

    How many providers would split that total? 25-30 inpatients is a lot for one provider. The docs and NPs at my hospital take half that maybe. Also if you have the admit pager, that is even more time...

    Dranger replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

  10. American looking to study in Europe to become NP

    Dranger replied to Eurohippus's topic in General Students

    Sounds like to me like you want to enjoy the grandeur of living in Europe with all of the traveling/sites and conveniently tack on a MSN-NP. Unfortunately you have to choose. NPs are very very North...

  11. Vent: Why so many local threads started in General Nursing

    Dranger replied to dream'n's topic in General Nursing

    People do not know how to forum. I always chuckle when I see random threads on General Nursing that ask about admissions at some random community college in Maine or the pay of NPs in one area of West...

  12. University of South Carolina Online NP

    Dranger replied to jgcadet's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am pretty sure that is full time but they said they will customize your schedule at orientation so the curriculum listed might be just an example. I think it is longer than most because they don't...

    Work, no question. School was easy in

  15. Is grad school really this hard to get into?

    Dranger replied to itsnowbegun's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I mean use what you have, NP schools isn't that competitive so I am sure you would be accepted somewhere whether your manager is a nurse or not. I think they do prefer clinical references and...

  16. Zombie Apocalypse: WWND?

    Dranger replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    If I saw a weird disease all of a sudden appearing turning people rabid.... 1. I wouldn't go to work 2. Grab my guns, MREs and ammo 3. Head into woods/country and wait it

  17. What changes would you like to see from administration?

    Dranger replied to kbakrevs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Instead of calling every person to come in on their day off every day how about you guys step up and work the floor for once. Thats what leaders

  19. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Dranger replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    I insist on telling the truth and not blowing smoke like I am some "perfect" nurse

  20. Nursing Dose

    Dranger replied to guest449786's topic in Patient Medications

    I am aware of all those bundles and we implement all of them. A bundle isn't going to stop a patient from getting agitated and trying to buck the vent or pull out lines. So I don't know where you are...

    Dranger replied to nursingcrib's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The only time I can thinking of turning being important is still in a severe ARDs situation, with manual proning or rotaprone means. Good lung/bad lung situation. Or both bad

  22. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Dranger replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    I must admit I rarely watch wasting, I sign my name on the pyxis and jet out because I have other things to do. Then again I never sensed my coworkers

  23. Nursing Dose

    Dranger replied to guest449786's topic in Patient Medications

    Exactly, I don't think people here fully understand what it's like to stop someone from coughing out their ETT or ripping all their lines out. Nurses don't have time to call a doc covering 5 hospitals...

  24. Nursing Dose

    Dranger replied to guest449786's topic in Patient Medications

    CAM-ICU doesn't do anything. I don't need a check the box tool to tell if someone has ICU induced delirium. We use it in our complex assessment but I haven't found it that effective. Simple neuro...

  25. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Dranger replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    They aren't similar in clinical hours nor didactics. PA programs typically have a few thousand hours while NP have
