  1. RN shortage

    PANYNP replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    In 2012, Peter Buerhaus and colleagues published an article in NEJM on nurse staffing and the "nursing bubble". Their premise was that there is not a shortage of nurses, as Thecommuter, not.done.yet,...

    PANYNP replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    And that's why we gotta wear our hair

  3. Tell on yourself, if you dare...

    PANYNP replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    Some 35 years ago I worked Med-Surg in a Catholic hospital. Every year on Palm Sunday, the priest chaplain and several of the administrative nuns would do a Palm Procession through all the units of...

  6. lying about clinical hours

    PANYNP replied to astrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're queasy about contacting Chamberlain directly, as the Chamberlain student poster recommended, contact your local chapter of the Nurse Practitioner Association, of which you're probably a...

  7. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    PANYNP replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    Dinosaur here. Many (or most) of us have war stories from nursing school about difficult or mean or perfectionist instructors. Mine was a pediatrics instructor who selected a different student each...

  8. Do you think nurses get special treatment?

    PANYNP replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Thirty-seven years ago, when I was starting out in Nursing, I learned from other nurses to keep my wallet-sized RN license (Pennsylvania) adjacent to my driver's license in my wallet, so that...

  9. If you go to a hospital get ready to YELL

    PANYNP replied to BSN16's topic in General Nursing

    Nitwit. Agree with comments that he obviously has zero knowledge of stroke center protocols. Did he even know to take Mom to a hospital with a Stroke Center? And then he leaves Mom to fend for...

  10. Be a Real Nurse: Compassion is the Key

    PANYNP replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Dinosaur here, 37 years and counting. Your essay takes my breath away, particularly your characterizations of compassion and empathy as "doing", and pity and sympathy as "sitting and feeling bad"....

  11. When patients keep calling 911

    PANYNP replied to JJ the crit RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A little off-topic: I was notified by my dear 94-year old Dad's retirement community that he was "continually calling 911 from his room and hanging up". Knowing that this behavior was out of...

  12. I can't get "poop" taste out of my mouth?

    PANYNP replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    You also have the smell of gangrene to look forward to - when you're taking down foot dressings, and a couple toes auto-amputate into the dressing. Now there's an odor that stays with you for days....

  13. 8hr Shifts vs 12hr Shifts

    PANYNP replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    I switched from 8's to 12's in 1988, when the Baylor/WOW (work only weekends) programs were the new thing. Scheduling every Fri-Sat, 7p-7a in the ICU worked for me at the time; I was in graduate...

  14. Suspended for a Medication Error

    PANYNP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Over the past 15 years I've been involved in teaching Science of Medical Error. There is no need for "naming, blaming, and shaming" in instances of medication or procedural error. As another poster...

  15. ER rushing patients to the floor

    PANYNP replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with above, and my intent is not to bash my beloved ED colleagues, but my experience, over the past 37 years, has been that Nursing, rather than physician providers, drives the timing of...

  16. Just found out my school has a low NCLEX passing rate... should I leave?

    PANYNP replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    A couple things to think about: A low NCLEX pass rate may reflect the quality of instruction as well as the caliber of student. Students may be failing NCLEX because they are not being taught...

  17. Reapplying

    PANYNP replied to Mcl1980's topic in General Students

    Ok, I'm in the Rochester area. And I'm a professor. Here's what I can tell you, specific to the region. As an LPN, your employment opportunities will be in LTC, some office practices, and some...

  18. 8 vs 12 hour shift?

    PANYNP replied to RN-Doula's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dinosaur here. I worked 8-hour shifts in ICU in the early 1980s and loved it. Never really minded working q other weekend, and having a day off during the week to run errands, go out to lunch etc. In...

  20. Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    PANYNP replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My post was about our AGPCNP program and identifying preceptors. In response to your assumptions about programs that do not provide preceptors, be assured, that in order to maintain CCNE...

  21. Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    PANYNP replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We still are asking students to "help" us identify preceptors. Not sure of the context behind your original

  22. Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    PANYNP replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I teach in a new AGPCNP program in a college in a rural location. The need for NPs to provide primary care in rural settings is particularly high. Our students travel to our weekly classes from the...

  23. Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    PANYNP replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Put your ego back in the drawer. This is not your right. You took this all so personally Did you bother making a phone call? Did you talk to the 2 offenders before the last day of precepting? I...

  24. Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    PANYNP replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
