First, if you are truly interested in taking care of this female patient then you will respect her belief, whether it is religious or personal.........Taking care of patients emotionally, spiritually, psychologically is just as important as physicall...

Awesome advice BostonFNP! Especially about being honest!

utterly gross!

One option is to take 6 hours for 1 semester and then take 9 months off repeatedly for the rest of your life so that your loans are continually in deferment......... When you are 65 what the hell can they do to you if you can't pay? By then the U.S...

It's not always about money..........sometimes the satisfaction a degree gives you is worth a little extra money. Why do you want the degree? Answer that and you will have your answer to whether you should do it even though it is expensive.

The question is limited wouldn't you agree................?

I got a great freak'n idea.....just go to work smelling like a pig. Then when you come home go to bed smelling like a freak'n pig......Aren't choices great!!! Either way, you get to smell like a freak'n pig.......

"I am shocked that you graduated without knowing" how to be tactful when appropriate.............I don't think he/she needs your emotions or a lesson in life from your incredible wisdom......Sometimes folks need a little encouragement instead of tear...

Can't go wrong with Family Practice Guidelines (Cash & Glass) and The 5-Minute Clinical Consult. If you can't find it in there then you need to punt to a specialist......

Live like you did before becoming a nurse for the next few years and get those silly loans paid off.......My guess is that if you would have chosen a cheaper school that is competitive to get accepted you would have been put on a 2 or 3-year waiting ...

Three words for you........family nurse practitioner.

Hello. I am an FNP student, and I have the potential to secure a doctor for 2 of my adult practicums and his FNP for my Women's Health preceptor. That is 3/4 of the required preceptors for my class!! If I secured these 3 preceptors practicums, I woul...

Why do men make more......? Really you have to ask?

The pharmacist can not say soap and water.........it's not sterile. If the old women is asking such a question she needs looking after.....

My exact first thoughts.........!

That is like saying a 2-year-old who runs around in the backyard should be able to "hang" with 10-year-olds who run around a track.......what a stupid comment! If NPs had 4 years of constant study......test......repeat......and 4 years of direct supe...

Jules......I agree with you 100%. Instead of spending the first year learning how to research.....researching.....and writing about research.......We should be learning how to assess, diagnose, and prescribe......The second year should consist of be...

Unfortunately, your experiences and perceptions are not everyone else's. For example, my wife started a new job and she was disliked by a charge nurse there because "she is so pretty." This was reported to her by others. Every time my wife would w...

I understand that it "irks" you and sometimes the truth hurts. I believe that if the OP wants to have a successful transition she'll follow my recommendations! I question if it was worth your time to respond and initiate a fight with me because I c...

1) The answer is more than just teaching the best EBP to our patients.......The answer is more about addressing the psych issue called reactance. The government can't mandate that someone put a potentially harmful substance in their body without it ...

Yes, you will transition flawlessly if you apply the following: 1) Learn to follow until you get experience and become a leader. This is usually easier for those who are not A students because they are usually followers in nursing school too. 2) Lea...

What is a "bad" school anyway? That is an opinion and is subjective to the owner. I can attend any "bad" school, graduate and be just as prepared as any other student for the first day of work as an NP. I think what some people do is develop feeli...

For me, Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) accreditation is the ONLY thing that mattered! CCNE is a national accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and ensures the quality and integrity of baccalaureate and g...

No one is being nasty.....I think you were just expecting everyone to agree with you......AND as you can read, they don't. No nastiness implied (rolled eyes) but if you don't want a job where the life and death of your patients are dependent on you ...
