1. fetching the doctor's tea

   JPINFV replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   2 quick questions... 1. Can I substitute a diet coke for tea? 2. Is it only attendings that get tea brought to them, or can residents get in on this too? [and no, before someone gets all outragy...

2. RN to MD or CRNA

   JPINFV replied to SunDevilNurse15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Oh, the type of course I was thinking of was a survey course. So a survey course of chemistry that includes general, biochem, and organic chemistry counts for nothing in the med school

3. RN to MD or CRNA

   JPINFV replied to SunDevilNurse15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Also, a lot of nursing programs use either a "chemistry for health care professions" or a shorter summary course (the technical name eludes me at the moment for this type of course) instead of the...

4. RN to MD or CRNA

   JPINFV replied to SunDevilNurse15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   While I'm sure there's a rare person who has worked full time during the first and second years, the answer is largely "no" and definitely not during the 3rd and 4th years. While lecture attendance is...

5. septic shock

   JPINFV replied to nursingcrib's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   Are we talking in the sense of a first aid "recovery position" type thing? No. Assuming appropriate fluid resuscitation has been done (or else they technically aren't in septic shock), then they need...

6. Physician Bullying of Nurses Reaching Epidemic Levels

   JPINFV replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

   Well, there's a couple rules that residents learn very quickly. 1. Making the service run smoothly is more important than responding to slights (real or perceived) from nursing. 2. Every resident...

7. CNM vs. Med School

   JPINFV replied to DreamerCNM2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

   In general, no one works during medical school and no one is going to be sympathetic during rotations about a student's job. Even for medical students, 60-80 hour weeks weren't uncommon during 3rd and...

8. The Term Physician

   JPINFV replied to motoluver's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

9. The Term Physician

   JPINFV replied to motoluver's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Quick question. How common do you see the sentiments like those of the OP, who sincerely believes that both NPs should be considered physicians AND practice medicine (the first being the topic of the...

10. The Term Physician

    JPINFV replied to motoluver's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Of course when we do participate in the threads that explicitly involve us, we get comments made over the fact that we're participating....

11. The Term Physician

    JPINFV replied to motoluver's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ...and that last sentence is key. There's virtually no difference in both the licensing exam and course work between MDs and DOs, including a large percentage of DOs taking the MD licensing exam in...

12. The Term Physician

    JPINFV replied to motoluver's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What term would you suggest would be used specifically and solely to describe MDs and DOs if both "physician" and "doctor" are to be used as generic terms in the healthcare setting? If we were to...

13. 50 Things New Nurses Need to Know About Calling Doctors and Other Providers

    JPINFV replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A new temp of 100.4? By all means, please let us know and no one should be getting any flak over that. A continuing temp of 100.4, especially one admitted 3 hours ago and who is already on broad...

14. Doctors vs. Nurses

    JPINFV replied to MsPebbles's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ...and if your hospital has enough computers for such niceties, then yes, the physician should have been using the physician designated computers. Similarly, I recognized that medicine, like every...

15. Doctors vs. Nurses

    JPINFV replied to MsPebbles's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As stated, it's an OSHA issue. I fail to follow the logic that a student grabbing labs for a team actively rounding on the floor at that instant is any different than a resident grabbing labs for a...
