    Nurses are Not Doctors

    TU RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Rob: To address the first stanza of your post: I think the counterargument has been made that NPs in the position of primary care of family practice - by assessing, diagnosing, and prescribing...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    TU RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Rob: I think the point that arg, Gluteus, MD2B are trying to make is that while those studies may have proven an equivalence in the practice of physicians and NPs in family practice, the items...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    TU RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    You wouldn't say physicians don't want the jobs, but then immediately afterwards claim that it's not a desirable field among physicians anymore. Did I misunderstand or did you contradict yourself?...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    TU RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Go on to see your MD when you have the sniffles and get some Claritin or be misprescribed a Z-pack if you don't trust the NP's curricula. Are they selling those drugs in quarter dispensers at the...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    TU RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    TU RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    If I was offered the opportunity to become a physician in a family practice I would absolutely drop my life and aptly take on $200,000+ in student loan debt additional to my current student loan debt...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    TU RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Was I randomly bashing? I don't believe I was, but sorry if you read it that way OCRN. I think physicians are well aware of the expense of their career path before they even go to medical school....

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    TU RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    This could be a great "pilot study" sort of situation for NPs across the country. I hope it yields favorable (comparable to MD/DO primary care) results and takes of nationwide. There is a shortage of...

    The newest and coolest thing you've ever done

    TU RN replied to Christy1019's topic in General Nursing

    I was trained by my hospital to put IV lines in by ultrasound guidance within my first year of practice. Not all too complicated, but it might come in pretty useful if I ever decide to take an...

    if you hate nursing, what would you rather do instead?

    TU RN replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    Your expectations of the "free time" of most nurses are too high. Sorry to say it but you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Sure, if you work part-time or PRN (working 1 or 2 12-hour shifts a...

    What setting is best for a new nurse grad?

    TU RN replied to vregino36's topic in General Nursing

    Gentle and kind might have been descriptors for myself 10 months ago before I started working as a nurse, and may still be now but to a significantly lesser degree. I believe the more appropriate...

    if you hate nursing, what would you rather do instead?

    TU RN replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    I've taken a few of these tests (called MBTI for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) which I believe are designed to gauge your personality - hoping that this would give me direction in what I might be...

    What do I do?

    TU RN replied to Emily#1's topic in General Nursing

    Needing Advice...

    TU RN replied to Coppersmom's topic in General Nursing

    Same problem here, but I've resolved to stay the 3 months. I might even stay until I reach 1 year from my orientation finish date just to be fair. TBH if I can do it, you can do it! I really think it...

    Practice Problem Zosyn 4.5 g in 100 mL?

    TU RN replied to RN_TOBE's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was taught to use dimensional analysis. Start by identifying the units you want and plug in known information, while making sure the undesired units cancel out: ? mL/hr = (100mL/30mins)*(60mins/1hr)...

    Nurses continue to eat their young

    TU RN replied to DalekRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think it's a NETY thing, they're probably just ****** because they've got 12 hours to go and you're going home Nonetheless, nursing seems to be a never-ending battle against negativity and...

    positive drug screen at the MD's office

    TU RN replied to needananswer's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you're not doing it at or before work within reasonable time, morally and ethically you should be allowed - by the laws of God and man - to partake in this form of anxiolysis. However,...

    Seriously?!

    TU RN replied to LauRN_89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe a transport person or assistant (someone who didn't know better) put it with the patient's belongings thinking it was appropriate for the continuity of care. Just playing devil's advocate here....
