1. FNP to DNP, really?

   eRiNn88 replied to SMFNP2014's topic in Doctoral

   An FNP is a masters prepared nurse and I have been taught at my BSN program by a variety of degree prepared nurses. Although many of them were adjunct professors working towards their doctorate or masters. Many programs allow BSNs or ADNs to rotate w...

2. Research Topic for MSN

   eRiNn88 replied to eRiNn88's topic in MICU

   It's more of a literature review on the topic. I could include sedation holiday and tie it into the delirium aspect if I can find research that suggests it. Going from sedated - to non-sedated - and back to sedation could most definitely cause confus...

3. Research Topic for MSN

   eRiNn88 replied to eRiNn88's topic in MICU

   It's going to be a 20 page paper for my research class at least. So I'm trying to expand my ventilated patient idea with a secondary topic. I've found a lot of information regarding sedation practices of vented patients in the ICU and many of them re...

4. Are nurses being imported to the UK?

   eRiNn88 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in UK

   I've worked as a tech or CT and experienced bad behavior from RNs. As an RN I don't believe I do treat my techs badly or reprimand them unless I find them in the breakroom all day or surfing Internet when everyone else is massively busy. At my work p...

   That's good to hear! Thanks!

8. Are nurses being imported to the UK?

   eRiNn88 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in UK

   Actually, that work sounds very similar to my responsibilities. It depends on the unit to determine how involved you can be with ADLs. When I had 5-6 patients on a regular nursing floor I relied on my techs to assist patients to commodes. Now that I ...

9. Are nurses being imported to the UK?

   eRiNn88 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in UK

   I find this blog extremely interesting. I work in the US and want to experience travel nursing. The UK is recruiting US nurses as well and after researching it might be a pay cut to move. I've read the annual salary is around 24000 GBP? Is that fairl...
