    RN/Paramedic on a Rig?

    Murse901 replied to Zalan's topic in General Nursing

    So, being that you are an APN, you have prescriptive authority when you respond to medical calls on the FD? Somehow, this doesn't seem right. I think you're probably held to the scope of practice for...

    I was reported again, this time by the bookeeper......

    Murse901 replied to Vonique's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sounds like there needs to be a change in policy. Does nursing staff go into the business office to check on the bookkeeper? Are the CNA's checking behind the work of the CPA's? Non-clinical...

    "Nurses don't make judgments"...do they?

    Murse901 replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    If a nurse *doesn't* make judgments, he or she won't be a nurse for very

    Non-visualized Airways?

    Murse901 replied to Zalan's topic in General Nursing

    It would be nice if an RN could intubate with a King or Combitube, but it's not allowed here. Blind insertion airways are typically not even used in the hospital setting, at least in my area. I...

    Getting worried- no status update with Excelsior

    Murse901 replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sweettart, didn't I go over a similar issue with you a couple of weeks ago regarding your passing grade showing up on MyEC? Relax. You passed your CPNE. You're done. You will graduate on the date...

    If you're not accepted, consider it a blessing and look into Northwest MS. If you are accepted, good luck to

    NURSING LIABILITY

    Murse901 replied to MONDO MONDO's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Check your facility's policy. It is typically acceptable for a licensed nurse to relay an MD's order by telephone to another nurse. It would only be unacceptable if you were being given the verbal by...

    Flu Clinic without current license

    Murse901 replied to lilaclover's topic in General Nursing

    As I mentioned in my original post, I have very limited knowledge of the Canadian medical system, so forgive my mentioning of Medical Assistants . In the States, a Medical Assistant is a very loosely...

    Flu Clinic without current license

    Murse901 replied to lilaclover's topic in General Nursing

    You *really* need to relax before your feelings get hurt. Maybe you've had a bad day, but you need to put a filter between that brain and those fingers. An LPN is not a higher level than a medical...

    Flu Clinic without current license

    Murse901 replied to lilaclover's topic in General Nursing

    Whooooaaaa, tiger. Slow it down, take a deep breath, drop the rude attitude, and relax. I'm well aware that LPN's have a license. I was an LPN for 4 years before changing the initials behind my name....

    Flu Clinic without current license

    Murse901 replied to lilaclover's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure how it works in Canada, but in the US (as caliotter3 stated), the MD can designate anyone a medical assistant. I don't think it matters whether or not they are licensed in another state,...

    DNP in 2015? Forreal?

    Murse901 replied to jiwonkim89's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    While I do have strong doubts that the DNP will be officially required by 2015, there are universities across the nation that have already "jumped ship" on the MSN/FNP. Here, UT Memphis has already...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Murse901 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think you completely missed the point of the OP, and managed to be very rude at the same time. Are these special characteristics for BSN's?

    HELP! Loosing my job!

    Murse901 replied to Aiten's topic in General Nursing

    No. She signed a document saying that she had 1 year of experience. It was not a 1 year work contract. You'll never find a place that's going to offer you a guaranteed 1 year of employment where they...

    HELP! Loosing my job!

    Murse901 replied to Aiten's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, many of the managers in home health agencies and staffing agencies are not nurses, and in many cases have no clinical background at all. The agencies I have worked with, the recruiters...

    IMs and aspirating blood

    Murse901 replied to soxfan80's topic in General Nursing

    Aspirating for a SQ injection? I always aspirate on IM injections. I've only aspirated blood one time, with a flu vaccine

    Murse901 replied to Zaphod's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Also, I'm not going to say that there is NOTHING positive in Memphis. There are definitely many things going on in Memphis that make life here tolerable. The new Green Line, the Memphis Zoo, the...

    Murse901 replied to Zaphod's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Nashville has all of those things, with better schools, less crime, more job opportunities, and VUMC. If I were dead-set on moving to this region from elsewhere in the US, I'd go to Nashville. As for...

    Questions about Excelsior Graduation stuff.

    Murse901 replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Check "Course Registration Status" under MyEC to see your passing grade. Like you, I kept looking for a status report update and didn't see it. Even though I knew (like everyone else) that I had...

    Murse901 replied to Zaphod's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    When considering a move to this city from another location, it's doubtful that everyone in the moving family is a nurse. Therefore, it's important to consider whether or not your husband/wife and...
