  1. Can scientific types go into nursing?

    RobBSNRN replied to Young Tangerine's topic in General Nursing

    You can do research with DNP as well, plenty of nurses do. Good

  2. Article: Paramedics equal to RNs

    RobBSNRN replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree, they would be great performing those activities and maybe more but I am confused about how much more their scope could realistically change. Paramedics are great at the ACLS skills as you...

  3. Article: Paramedics equal to RNs

    RobBSNRN replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Many of the same yes but definitely not close to all. I don't think anyone believes a Paramedics license means nothing. Paramedics are the difference between life and death for many

  4. Article: Paramedics equal to RNs

    RobBSNRN replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Certified and Licensed Paramedic are not the same in Texas. This is like saying CNA and RN are the same. They both have the same basic skills, and many need a background check. But, after that it is...

  5. Strange requests from patients

    RobBSNRN replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    Did you give her the

  6. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    RobBSNRN replied to carachel2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The research I've seen on this topic has shown the opposite of what you're saying. Is there evidence of this lower standard of care from something other than your personal

  7. GRE Math HELP!

    RobBSNRN replied to Katie71275's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did the MAT exam instead and am happier for it :) It wasn't easy and quizzed a lot of obscure knowledge but I had no essay to write, no geometry to do, and only studied for 4 weeks before the test....

  8. Med error during a code

    RobBSNRN replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, scary... I'm glad the patient will be ok and that all your co-workers were understanding. Could have been much worse for everyone but during an intense high paced situation who couldn't envision...

  9. Survey Estimates Net Gain of 9.3 Million American Adults with Health Insurance

    RobBSNRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is that what they said?

  10. I keep falling asleep while trying to study. Is Nuvigil an option?

    RobBSNRN replied to Stewy44's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You should talk to your doctor about this. These kinds of meds can run away from people without monitoring. Good

  11. missed class

    RobBSNRN replied to smmctowelie69's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    4 minutes late = go home and pretend like you never came at all? Really?... I'm having a very hard time believing that. Never heard of such a thing through my experience in HS/BSN RN school/grad...

  12. ABSN or RN

    RobBSNRN replied to jordanleigh6190's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You will have to work as an RN to become an NP. At a minimum maybe just for school to meet clinical requirements for a direct entry program but it is called NURSE practitioner for a reason. Also,...

  13. under-aged partners rooming in

    RobBSNRN replied to bojo328's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think 17 is an adult as far as sexual behavior goes... At least in MA and maybe even NY too. Creepy as heck but it does depend on the state/ hospital

  14. Books for Advanced Pathophysiology

    RobBSNRN replied to Bryantfan's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I also used clinical Pathophysiology made ridiculously simple... And got an A in Advanced Pathophysiology :). The book for the class was just WAY too big to do anything but read the chapters once...

  15. bottom bunks

    RobBSNRN replied to bymysoul2squeeze's topic in Correctional

    Unfortunately my facility makes us do "bottom bunks" for everyone on detox because of seizure risk. Seems totally unreasonable because of the high # of young healthy guys without history of seizures...

  16. Medical Assistants being called nurses

    RobBSNRN replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What you're describing (sometimes) happens because we are talking about human beings, not just

  17. Currently reading "The Good Nurse"...

    RobBSNRN replied to mical's topic in General Nursing

    Read it as well. Good book. Seriously scary stuff... Amazing how hospitals would be so afraid of lawsuits they would let potential murders move on to their next hunting grounds with positive...

  18. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    RobBSNRN replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  19. Good Pop-Up but still Failed?

    RobBSNRN replied to AnthonyRay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pop up does not work 100% of the time. I bet 99% but I've heard of one other case besides my first time taking the boards where the good pop up did not lead to a

  20. Any other BSN students thinking about applying to NP school?

    RobBSNRN replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    Well what is a nurse practitioner without the nurse

  21. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    RobBSNRN replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why do you say that? Not saying you're wrong because I really have no idea. I mean about MBA programs being impossible to flunk out

  22. Any other BSN students thinking about applying to NP school?

    RobBSNRN replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't want a new NP with no RN experience being my PCP... But unfortunately for the patient there is no way to know that. I really think the nurse part of nurse practitioner should mean something...

  23. Male nursing

    RobBSNRN replied to kingpriest's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm a male and doing as well as any of the female nurses I know. It's all about your skills, confidence, personality, and work ethic. I don't think gender plays into it at all. The only ones I've...

  24. Nurses are Not Doctors

    RobBSNRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    It's almost as if you really don't know the difference between opinion and fact. Opinions based on personal experience: how DNPs introduce themselves. Fact: MD's and med students have ZERO scientific...

  25. Nurses are Not Doctors

    RobBSNRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    First of all I was not serious about wanting studies about how DNPs introduce themselves. I am really hoping you weren't either. Though it is ironic to claim others do not understand evidence or...
