    Dranger replied to Postpartum RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would stay at least a year. 6 months is next to nothing as that pretty much encompasses your residency/probation time. M/B destroys your general nursing skill set (my gf did M/B) so a little time as...

  5. Can I work in a hospital as a FNP?

    Dranger replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was being sarcastic/facicious towards the argument that techinically since there aren't huge legal scope of practice issues with FNPs in inpatient roles (ICU, hospitalist etc) that they should...

  6. Getting all necessary information for doctor notification

    Dranger replied to sweetjen2006's topic in General Nursing

    Eh in the ICU per protocol we order all electrolyte and kidney function labs. I can order ionized calcium if the albumin and total (not free) calcium are amok and order IV or PO lytes as necessary...

  7. CNA as a career

    Dranger replied to unbrokenx3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Problem is a lot of those positions you just have to follow into with OJT or the moon aligning just correctly. For most places as a CNA you are stuck there

  8. Can I work in a hospital as a FNP?

    Dranger replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ACNPs can't do primary care because it is not in their core training. However, FNPs can do everything because they have extensive experiences with all age groups from a child with impetigo to a...

  12. Family Nurse Practitioner Student Experience

    Dranger replied to RN33043's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Dranger replied to aname's topic in General Nursing

  15. Got into ACNP program

    Dranger replied to sm06902's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No one is questioning your decision,I am just wondering what your expectations of grad school and being an acute care provider were. Our providers do one week (7 days not 5) on one week off usually....

  16. Got into ACNP program

    Dranger replied to sm06902's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's not snarky. As Jules said these are questions you ask yourself before you apply. Grad school and new provider life aren't easy and if family is a priority it's something you need to reexamine....

    Dranger replied to Nurse216's topic in General Nursing

    Problem is you care too much. You have theses ideals of nursing and healthcare that just aren't feasible. In acute care you often get jaded because of the type of people you have to deal with on a...

  19. Nursing is Family Friendly?

    Dranger replied to mama12's topic in General Nursing

    Dranger replied to Ultramikey's topic in General Nursing

    So don't move there? I lived in Seattle for a while and the new grad pay without differentials was about 27-28 an hour. As a new grad with my differentials I was making close to 40 an hour no...

  21. Got into ACNP program

    Dranger replied to sm06902's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Part time as a brand new NP is probably a bad idea. If you don't like the prospect of having time away from young kids why do the program? As an inpatient provider 12 hour or more shifts are the...

  23. ICU pay differential?

    Dranger replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    Wow. I have worked tele, PCU, some ED and ICU. In my opinion critical care or any specialty area like ED deserves more pay. Sure I had 6 patients in tele but I also had a CNA and didn't have to be...
