   New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

   LucyLou88 replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I pulled the numbers from a a Texas workforce report, and it's based on billables. That number is repeated from many agencies. I'm not off the mark at all. This is a great book, and offers up how you...

   New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

   LucyLou88 replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I was just offered 40 bucks/hr (I made more as an RN), no benefits, no nada. They want to work-horse me to death. In trying to negotiate I was told that that was industry standard. Ha! Needless to say...

   Overwhelmed & Recovery?

   LucyLou88 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I agree. You either play the game, or you give up the license and career you worked so hard for. It's a lesson in humility among other things no doubt. I do not at all understand the letter. It's odd...

   Overwhelmed & Recovery?

   LucyLou88 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

   That's just idiotic. There is no one way to do anything, and there is certainly no one right way for everyone. The 12 step thing fails a lot of people. You seem highly, highly intelligent, and I...

   Doctors vs NP's?

   LucyLou88 replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

   Yes. Patients believe that there is a pill for everything. Are they wrong? No. There really is a pill for everything because it's big business. Huge profits for the drug industry, and the rest of it...

   New Grad hired in the ER, question.

   LucyLou88 replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

   You will hear "seasoned" nurses say a lot of things. They want new nurses to live their personal hell. Nothing you do in a floor will make you a better ED nurse. Learn now..right now, to let...

    Have to agree. It seems irresponsible and lazy. Not exactly promoting success for the undergrad

    dosage calculation

    LucyLou88 replied to Grnbay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree. The answer on the test did not include the ml. But, there is only one on-hand OTC formulation, and that is 100 mg/5ml. So, I was assuming reality and knowledge of pharm

    dosage calculation

    LucyLou88 replied to Grnbay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The answer should be to give 80 mg/4ml (because I know it comes 100 mg/5 ml) q6. It's not a q4 med. The calculation comes out to 77 mg, but we give 80. I actually know some PAs who write take home...
