My preceptor is constantly belittling me and making feel like a burden and an idiot. I was wondering if this was a normal part of the process or if I need to find a new preceptor? I've lost any confidence I had going into this.

Hi all. Just wondering if any of you could touch on your clinical experiences. Have they been positive? Have you enjoyed them? Are they building you up or dragging you down? Wondering if mine are normal or far from the mark.

It's actually for both. I researched and Illinois is a right to carry state. Thank you for the information.

I was wondering how you handle Epi-pens. My kids are Middle School and High School aged. I feel like they should keep their pens with them because we are not always in the same place with the kids. Last summer I had their counselors keep them but their counselors are not always with them either. (I.e. sometimes they're with a different counselor). Any recommendations would be appreciated.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing.

I am an ICU nurse that volunteers at a religious camp 1 week every summer. Last summer I had a run on ankle injuries. I tended to send most to the ED for x-ray to be on the safe side. I know it's better to error on the side of caution but I also need to be judicious with resources. Is there a way to differentiate the injuries that should be x-rayed and those that can ride it out with RICE treatment?!? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The other thread I've been involved in started a Facebook page. It seems like most on them are Pre-specialty but, in case you're interested, it's called Vanderbilt MSN Accepted Fall 2014.

I'm with ya girl!! You're doing intensivist correct?!?

Yippee Sara!! See you in August.

Congrats!!! I just found out I'm in the AG-ACNP program!!!
