  2. I'm too sensitive, says my husband

    Dranger replied to mbtsab's topic in General Students

    You'll get to a point where you code a patient for 20 min, they die, and you go get lunch after. That unhealthy emotion will

  3. from RN to Palliative Care NP?

    Dranger replied to EOLRNinED's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I really don't see the use in getting a ACNP for palliative care.I think broad FNP or ANP would suffice. Our palliative NPs are all FNP in inpatient. Most of our ACNP did not go into that track with...

  4. Is it worth the money to become an NP? (read this, I promise it's good)

    Dranger replied to hkRN83's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    With that debt I don't think it's worth it personally. Where I live an ICU nurse with that experience and a LITTLE OT hits 100k easy. What's the advantage of being an

  5. University of South Carolina Online NP

    Dranger replied to jgcadet's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think that's what they all say, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I am sure the whole dept is really busy right now. They know what track you are

    Thank you it made my eyes hurt. Looks much better now

  7. The Term Physician

    Dranger replied to motoluver's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I find this thread fitting after seeing the alphabet soup of titles you have after your name. Obviously titles are really important to you. I find provider as an appropriate

  8. First NP Job and unhappy...What to do?

    Dranger replied to TCUgirl15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why did you leave the bedside? My gf is a L&D nurse and she cold never imagine leaving the bedside to be an NP. Did you really want to be an NP or did it just seem like the next step? Have you...

  9. Crazy clinicals instructor doesn't like us using the restroom?

    Dranger replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    So many nursing educators are not in touch with reality anymore. Many have been in education so long they forgot what being a nurse really is. Looking back at all the days we learned how to draw up...

  10. is this expensive for a BSN?

    Dranger replied to Faylynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No typo in fact I am probably underestimating it. It was ~50K a year for 4.5 years. The Army picked up most of the

  13. Stethoscope Bling?

    Dranger replied to chorses4evr's topic in General Students

    Let me reiterate I have never seen a physician with any charm on their clothes or tools, including young female MDs Boring is sometimes ideal, if you want to be taken seriously at least. I venture on...

  14. nursing advice

    Dranger replied to javierh93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A pre-nursing student wanting to be a CRNA is like a pre-med student wanting to be a trauma/neuro surgeon. We see it it everyday here. Do well in school and get your BSN. You should be able to take it...

    Dranger replied to Faylynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Help!-Becoming An Air Force Nurce

    Dranger replied to toriixo's topic in Government, Military

    No guarantee that could happen, I have seen many 68W get their follow on 68C/LPN training postponed indefinitely. That's even if they have slots open. Also, I guarantee the OP is looking to be an RN...

  18. Away from bedside for 6 years

    Dranger replied to maseymom's topic in Retired Nurses

    You will need to do a refresher course....most likely on your own dime. I highly doubt a hospital will hire a nurse with 2 years of experience that has been out of it that long. Let's be honest case...

  19. Glut of NPs in coming years?

    Dranger replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    True but look back at the woes of being a bedside nurse. When a patient pulls an IV, rectal tube blows, bed change needs to happen, a patient needs to be restrained, a patient needs to be bathed ,...

  20. Online FNP program- TX

    Dranger replied to micheleruth87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have a lot of requirements, some feasible some not. Most programs are going to require campus visits especially reputable ones. Most schools require you to find preceptors. Reputable and cheap...

  21. Help!-Becoming An Air Force Nurce

    Dranger replied to toriixo's topic in Government, Military

    There is no way to do that. The military is full and there are no existing programs to get a BSN while enlisted and have them pay for it. How would you do clinicals and school when you have a full...

  22. Got into ACNP program

    Dranger replied to sm06902's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So you would recommend a brand new ACNP to work inpatient part time? Okay. My comment was addressing brand new residents and or NPs not experienced providers. As we all know resident physicians do not...

  23. Got into ACNP program

    Dranger replied to sm06902's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well if you brought the same questions up to my old college roommates (or anyone on the various medical forums) who are in med school now they would laugh you off the forums... Can new resident...

  24. Men in Nursing

    Dranger replied to MR-RN15's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wouldn't say there is an advantage for men but they do balance out estrogen levels on shifts (per my female peers) and have unique skill sets especially those as second career RNs. You'll find more...

  25. Correcting low sodium too quickly

    Dranger replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Severe hyponatremia is a nephrologists nightmare. Also annoying to deal with in DKA patients because of corrected
