  1. American looking to study in Europe to become NP

    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...
  2. Same, plus book a flight before prices
  3. Nurse-to-be Needs Advice!

    I wear Nike Frees as basic floor shoes. I think Danskos are revolting. I use a Littman Master Cardiology III on the
  4. Goal is NP. ASN>BSN>MSN -or - ASN>MSN???

    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...
  5. Nothing here, I was going to ask the same thing
  6. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    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. 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...
  8. If you work nights, what are your days off like?

    After a 3 day run I sleep all day which negates my day off. After that I stay up till 3-4am and sleep till 11. Rinse
  9. ACNP jobs

    Anyone else here do a residency after their ACNP program? I was looking at hospitalist or nephrology residencies
  10. American looking to study in Europe to become NP

    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. 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. 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...
  13. Flushing JP Drain

    I have flushed JP drains with stopcocks before. It's not common but I have seen "Flush drain Qshift 10ml
  14. Work, no question. School was easy in
  15. 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?

    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. 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
  18. Nursing Dose

    Do you work where I work?
  19. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

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

    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...
  21. septic shock

    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.

    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

    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

    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-$$

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