  1. Military OR

    LessValuableNinja replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    Some units also let you drill at other locations and will pay for flights and such, if there isn't an appropriate facility locally. I vote for FST(ABN), because: How else are you going to be able to...

  2. PCT for Med/Surg Ortho Interview

    LessValuableNinja replied to andielbc's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Super.

  3. Program accreditation

    LessValuableNinja replied to girodriguez's topic in General Students

    It's an accredited school under a US DOE regional accrediting org, just not CCNE

  4. Should I give up on my dream to become an NP?

    LessValuableNinja replied to Through_the_woods's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Some NP programs look only at your BSN GPA. Some calculate it to include your ADN. Some look at everything. Time to do some research on potential

  5. Accelerated BSN Clinicals

  6. Accelerated BSN Clinicals

    LessValuableNinja replied to Lisa2.0's topic in General Students

    Clinical experiences depend on the facility and your program. We can't answer that, because how each school does clinicals is very different. You may have full responsibility for a full patient load...

  7. Army Periop Course

    LessValuableNinja replied to Cochise82's topic in Government, Military

    I haven't been to the course, but was at the hospital hosting it for four years. I'd love to move back there. While you're there, in addition to the obvious places everyone visits, highly recommend...

  8. Is this Fraud?

    LessValuableNinja replied to Bonosgrrl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. Ordering controlled meds, then refusing prescription?

    LessValuableNinja replied to mystory's topic in Patient Medications

    In my anecdotal and nonsciency experience, people who flip out are usually the patient's kids, or long term users. Sometimes though, the (not in either category) person's been there for weeks after...

  12. new grad anxieties or may need some meds?

    LessValuableNinja replied to b-nurse's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think that the fact that you're so concerned about it means you should be evaluated. Be very wise in who you pick. It should be someone with good reviews who sees other nurses. If it were me, I...

  13. Medscape career satisfaction survey

    LessValuableNinja replied to Jules A's topic in Advanced Practice

    Have you seen the physician one? Ridiculous percentage wouldn't go into medicine if they lived life again, but keep doing it in this life

  14. Stop the preceptor madness!

  18. Is this Fraud?

    LessValuableNinja replied to Bonosgrrl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seems like that to me too. It's my understanding that this is only allowable if the physician has also seen the patient face to face the same

  19. Changing jobs

    LessValuableNinja replied to opy73's topic in General Nursing

    I think right depends on your perspective. Night shift has benefits, especially with an understanding and supportive spouse. It appears you feel that 8 hour shifts were not ideal, but that you respect...

    LessValuableNinja replied to rainvQ's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just had my RN license and I could not find a job! Is it really necessary for me to go to a new grad program? No, but it will help with your career. Is that a paid training? Yes how long is the...

  22. Ordering controlled meds, then refusing prescription?

    LessValuableNinja replied to mystory's topic in Patient Medications

    I agree with involving the person involved with discharge planning. I also agree that agitation at a taper can be a red flag. However, in cases where the physician has been giving the patient IV...

  23. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    LessValuableNinja replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This person feels too old to do it. If you don't feel too old you're not. I know a PA who started PA school at 65, after careers as a fighter pilot and engineer. It's just something he wanted to do,...

  24. Almost fired for med error

    LessValuableNinja replied to mellybelly27's topic in Emergency

    I find it interesting how an organization can ignore the massive amounts of evidence that creating a nonpunitive culture of reporting improves patient outcomes. I think your CNO needs an intervention...
