What's the worst thing you've found in your scrub top/bottom pockets upon arriving home. Meds? Syringes? Alcohol Pads? Medipore Tape? Insulin Vial?

I was called forth by a coworker to assist in initiating IV access on a patient that she had unsuccessfully attempted to do so on. As I walk in to the room, the patient begins to stare at me. At this point I'm completely under the impression that pe...

Haha. So do you get hit in frequently outside the patient care setting by other guys?

A doctor used the term "septic shower" when talking with me about a patient and their presenting symptoms. She tried to explain it as: Not "true sepsis" or bacteremia The bodies reaction to the removal of some form of infection—incision a...

I started in a nurse residency. Spent weeks on units like (trauma/surg ICU, medical ICU, CTCV, medicine, and postoperative). I now work at the same hospital in general surgery... hopefully transitioning to CTCV and ICU real soon. Your opinion may ...

Grannies usually enjoy a stroll down the unit with the male employees.

That is judgemental. You should explain to your boyfriend why NP matters to you and why you believe it is in your best interest. Remember that boyfriends may come and go, and it may be something you don't want to hear but it is true. Remember your ca...

Lesbians enjoy cute guys such as myself? Oh okay!

23 RN with 1.5 years of experience. 👍

I'm a registered nurse with 1.5 years experience in general surgery (I always give a quick background). I will be cross training soon a cardiothoracic surgical floor. My question is, What is it like being an NP for a surgeon? I work with surgeon...

A feminist lesbian?

Gotcha. Just caught me off guard being a guy I wasn't expecting that but now I know to expect anything. Patient wasn't creepy, but I'm sure glad he wasn't my assignment! Those gaga eyes and stare were extremely uncomfortable. 😂

Exactly. They separate the protein from the carbohydrates using an enzyme. I just enjoy it in comparison to the traditional protein drinks, it's easy on my digestive system.

Usually I'll drink an ice cold rice protein mix with almond milk on the drive to work. During report I eat raw almonds.

I am by NO means the king of proper English. I'm the NGTKing. Your essay needs some serious work. I am wondering what your first language is because you are making basic grammatical errors. The entire essay needs revision.

Is English your second language?

Paragraphs would help tremendously. I hope you do not submit an entire block of words.

I haven't been in a situation as yours, while I don't feel the way you do - I can only begin to imagine and I'm sure you are feeling awful. I'm so sorry this has happened. :HUGS: The question is not SHOULD you quit nursing, it ought to be: Do YOU wan...

Thanks! I'm looking at different programs. Online and traditional. I feel that the greatest advantage of online is the flexibility and not having to be forced to stay in one area of my city or state for 2 or 3 years. I can move around and take adva...

I know it will vary vastly from NP program to NP program however, I generally get the impression that NP schools do not focus on disease and disease management the way that PA schools do, as they are modeled after the medical model. Nursing school fo...

Out of curiosity: Do you know how often surgical NPs do locum tenens as opposed to a NP that does ER etc? I know I'm asking a lot of questions. Big thanks to everyone.

Do you feel there is benefit to obtaining RNFA + NP? Especially if one wants to say in the surgical world as opposed to the medical world. What about OR experience? I would be open and thrilled to obtain OR experience however would be greatly displea...

Thanks so much. I got my ACLS recently and I'll DEF review ACLS algorithms.

Hello everyone, I'm a nurse with 1.5 years in general surgery. I will be shadowing/cross training in the surgical ICU at my facility in December. Ultimately this experience is to obtain a true taste of SICU, but I also want to be prepared. Should I s...

I love being able to communicate with my trauma/gensurg NPs. They get the whole picture a lot better than the interns/1st year residents. I'll usually contact them if a resident is not cooperating or giving me the orders I need before I go to their a...
