  4. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    paramedic-RN replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Okay so you know one person that went to a diploma mill and passed boards, does that mean there's no problems with these schools? Even if you know 10 people who went to a diploma mill school...

    paramedic-RN replied to cam5393's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  7. Nurse Practitioner - Emergency Nurse Practitioner

    paramedic-RN replied to oncnurse1021's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you've never worked in the ED I suggest you start getting some ED experience as an RN, it will help you decide if that's the route you really want to take and give you some ED experience. Also if...

  8. I'm a Student not an Employee

    paramedic-RN posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I get it, students slow you down..... I greatly appreciate any preceptor willing to take me on because I know it will slow them down. Which is why I do what I can to offset that for example, I'll...

  10. Headache from N95

    paramedic-RN posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    So mild hypercapnia can cause headaches among other symptoms. And wearing a facial covering for hours on end can cause hypercapnia; which seems obvious to me but if anyone wants 'proof' just Google it...

  11. Headache from N95

    paramedic-RN replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Even if not an N-95 I think any facial covering (such as a surgical mask) that forces you to re-breathe your CO2 could cause hypercapnia. Still surprised that it doesn't give some people headaches,...

  12. MD signature on verbal orders????

    paramedic-RN posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I can't seem to find a clear statement on this within the Texas BON stuff. If I'm working in the outpatient setting (med spa) where there is no medicare/medicaid/CMS etc. is a MD signature needed on a...

  13. Front Desk Refusing to .......

    paramedic-RN posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm running into so much frustration trying to find a preceptor the biggest hurdle has been trying to get past the clinical practice managers and front desk people. Our school told us 'the clinical...

  14. Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    paramedic-RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is not at all meat to be a rant about doctors, I have a ton of respect for doctors and love the doctors I work with but my boyfriend made a recent observation about how hospitals play into the...

  15. Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    paramedic-RN replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa whoa whoa, you're totally missing my point which I why I said in my post, but I'll reiterate here, I don't have any problem calling a doctor 'doctor', and I have a ton of respect for doctors and...

  16. Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    paramedic-RN replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya and I hope that's not the impression I gave off. I'm currently working on my masters and agree with you to an extent but in a different way. I haven't really noticed that among nurses but I...

  17. Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    paramedic-RN replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

  18. Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    paramedic-RN replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow now that's crazy. I worked on a unit where we had like 10 COW's just for MD's and every time the MD's rounded they would never use the COW's that were "off-limits" to the nurses but instead...

  19. Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    paramedic-RN replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting point but who's making theses decisions? Doctors aren't usually the ones building hospitals so what makes a hospital CEO say I think the doctors should park right next to the door or have...

  20. Can I be your student?

    paramedic-RN posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello, Forgive me if this has been asked, I searched for it a few different way and couldn't find a thread, although I'm sure there is one. I'm a few months out from my FNP clinical rotations and have...

  21. Can I be your student?

    paramedic-RN replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Okay thanks for the replies, my only hesitation about seeing them in person is that I think it kind of puts them on the spot. They may feel pressured to say yes while an email or voicemail would give...

  23. Seriously?!?

    paramedic-RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like all my patient's every day, you must be used to a more educated and sensible patient population. This won't be the last ignorant and ridiculous patient you deal
