  3. Congratulations! Sounds like you did the ground work and you were ready! Thank you for tips - I'm in my last semester and really appreciate hearing what worked for you.
  4. What annoys you most in your daily tasks?

    Charting in a non-nurse friendly computer system, looking for stuff, multiple phone calls for one thing. Basically, anything that is a time suck. These are the most aggravating parts of my day....
  5. Anion Gap Acidosis

    Keep asking questions. We all do not grasp everything simply by reading the research. That's why we need people who can teach. Glad that you got the answer that you needed.... Here's a link - I...
  6. I have given this subject some thought (as I am sure most of you have). One realization that I had was that as a person, I was a terrible negotiator. As a matter of fact, I would take what the HR...
  7. Short staffing incentive ideas???

  8. 2 PIV's if no central line?

    I am looking for some EBP on having more than 1 PIV (2) for patients in the critical care setting. I've searched around and have yet to come up with anything. I am gathering evidence for a policy we...

    @Pheebz777 That's my point. But - I want it to be an actual policy so I am trolling for
  10. 2 PIV's if no central line?

  12. What to expect?? ACNP program at UTHSC Houston

    I am in the program now and I began the summer of '15. All in all, it's OK. I've been disappointed in the quality and caliber of material, especially in patho and pharmacology - two of the classes I...
  13. Yes! And, I highly recommend it. I was having a difficult time deciding whether I was going to do FNP or ACNP. I shadowed a one NP in clinic at the hospital (She is a primary care NP) and I...

    I completed my BSN online through University of Texas at Arlington - it was a grueling (mind numbing, for me) process that I found more difficult than my ADN. This was related directly to the subject...
  15. Adv. Physiology

    Thanks for posting this! This is extremely
  16. HELP I think I made a mistake!

    I will be starting my ACNP program this May. I too vacillated a lot between, FNP and ACNP - everyone seemed to have an opinion and most of it was centered around "job outlook". I currently work in...
  17. UTHSC v TT ACRN Program?

    I've been accepted to the TT program for ACRN in the fall and am feeling really relieved that at least, I have an in at a school. I also applied to UTHSC ACRN program and have an interview on...

    So sorry to hear that - I know from your post how badly you want this. Keep at it though and don't lose heart. You'll get in - reapply-your chances are better the second time
