  1. Covid-19 Nurse Practitioner

    egg122 NP replied to barishan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  3. Covid-19 Nurse Practitioner

    egg122 NP replied to barishan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Barshan! Generally the clinic or employer either contracts with a company that has a website in order to use it (examples include https://www.doxy.me or https://www.medici.md) or if their company...

  4. Covid-19 Nurse Practitioner

    egg122 NP replied to barishan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Barshan! In NYC and CT some urgent cares have set up testing clinics for COVID-19 and they have hired people (usually on a temp basis) to help staff. The structure depends on each private clinic...

  5. Scared of being successfully sued

    egg122 NP replied to nursing90504's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey! I think you did the right thing by not refilling it. The only thing I might have done differently is that I might have stated that I will be in touch with the prescribing provider to get back to...

  6. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    egg122 NP replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are offers for locums for $120/hr for RNs in NYC

  7. Could Covid 19 actually save lives by reducing all cause mortality?

    egg122 NP replied to myoglobin's topic in Disaster Preparation

    However, I also think the slow response of the CDC and Washington state department of heath plays a factor in this situation

  8. CRNA Mills?

    egg122 NP replied to stevena9's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A few years ago some educational program attempted to find out the true identies of allnurses posters for what I believe was a lawsuit due to some information about the program that was posted on this...

  9. New NP grad at 50 years old. Is the age an obstacle to be hired?

    egg122 NP replied to NN2BVE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you decide not to go the NP route, consider switching over to an industry job. With many years of experience as a WOCN, you would be shoe in for one of the dressing and ostomy

  10. Do Not Resuscitate - An Inconvenient Truth About Our Healthcare System

    egg122 NP replied to Skwidward's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you experienced this- so incredibly disheartening and confusing as a family member to find out the discharge plan isn't going to occur. Kudos to you for advocating for your

  11. Do Not Resuscitate - An Inconvenient Truth About Our Healthcare System

    egg122 NP replied to Skwidward's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I have had very heated encounters with nursing home administrators who have undermined putting a patient on hospice in order to continue billing under Medicare Part A. Not to mention the number...

  12. Can you return the bedside? NYC

    egg122 NP replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    My sympathies, Brooklyn hospitals are a nightmare. I worked in a private hospital with with similar ratios/issues. It is possible to go back and forth from bedside to non bedside jobs however. I know...

  13. Critical Care Eliticism?

    egg122 NP replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I think this was a good way of handling this situation. I wish there was shadowing like this more often in the settings I've worked

  14. Threw out back, what’s next?

    egg122 NP replied to Lightning Rose's topic in General Nursing

    There are increasingly opportunities for RNs with experience in telemedicine. The role can vary from triage to education/health coaching but it might be worth taking a look, particularly if you are...

  15. Have Not Worked Since Graduating Nursing School

    egg122 NP replied to OrchidLoveYIZ312's topic in General Nursing

    The above posters are correct. NYC is a difficult market for new grads. Consider looking at LTACHs and SNFs as previously mentioned. Also, the first interview you had was for a float position, which...

  16. Ghosts of the ER (Clerks)

    egg122 NP replied to Cody1991's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the EMTALA thing is a distraction to this thread and frankly derailed it in an attempt to show who is top dog in all things nursing. I'm not clear why we had to go there, particularly when...

  17. Ghosts of the ER (Clerks)

    egg122 NP replied to Cody1991's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We will have to agree to disagree. I think this post is going into the weeds.

  18. Ghosts of the ER (Clerks)

    egg122 NP replied to Cody1991's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My original post also clearly stated that if it is a true emergency that the registrar needs to wait. You can be EMTALA compliant and have the clerk collect information in the room once the case has...

  19. Ghosts of the ER (Clerks)

    egg122 NP replied to Cody1991's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is your scenario 4: "4. Your actual care is prioritized and the business end of things is taken care of efficiently without interrupting or delaying any other aspect of your hands-on care."...

  21. Ghosts of the ER (Clerks)

    egg122 NP replied to Cody1991's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Your co-workers are jerks. One is not required to be friends with everyone at work (and frankly sometimes it better not to since it can bring unnecessary drama) but everyone should be treating all of...

  22. Family Practice or SNF

    egg122 NP replied to DTWriter's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not clear if the SNF has stated their expectations that you will work as an RN as well or of you are concerned about this. As the other posters have stated, make sure the expectations are clear....

  23. What is the lowest hemoglobin you've observed with no symptoms?

    egg122 NP replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    That's really

  24. What is the lowest hemoglobin you've observed with no symptoms?

    egg122 NP replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    I started at a FQHC and had a patient with epigastric pain with nausea who ended up coming back with a hemoglobin between 4-5 but was hemodynamically stable at the time of the appointment. I got the...

  25. Keep asking full time staff to do overtime

    egg122 NP replied to MTRNlove's topic in General Specialties

    I agree with this X 1000. Set boundaries. Too many in our profession do not feel empowered enough to do so. It does not make you less of a nurse to not pick up shifts at your own expense so that...
