    I'm worried...

    Skippingtowork replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Just read your message and stopped to pray for the child, the parents, you and the other staff and students at your school. I also prayed for the doctors, nurses, RTs, and everyone else involved in...

    Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Skippingtowork replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is quite possible that pediatrics is not for the OP. In that field you really have to be productive as it tends to be less profitable per patient. You also have to deal well with the family....

    NP path question

    Skippingtowork replied to ToBeMSNNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why are you thinking about nursing, rather than trying to get a residency? It's clear that you want to be an MD. I would suggest that you seek out other foreign medical graduates to see what they...

    Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

    Skippingtowork replied to Slhengy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What facts are you referring to? I asked if things have changed recently? I know several people who graduated from one of the programs, one that is a current student and one that teaches, so that's...

    Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

    Skippingtowork replied to Slhengy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'll have to mention that to my friends who got their NP through those schools. Have things changed recently? I think we nee to hear from students who went to those schools. At least one of them did...

    Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

    Skippingtowork replied to Slhengy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm no so sure that's true. I know some very good B&M programs and their students have to find their own clinicals. They may help them at the last minute, but then the student is way behind in...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Skippingtowork replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you will have a lot of support regarding the DNP capstone. I always thought it was to become clinical experts, but no so. I don't know who came up with the requirements and it probably will...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Skippingtowork replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Part of the training in NP school. Not referring to on-the-job training. I wasn't clear. Also, I've been around a lot ofd physicians, including those with lots of experience, but joining a new...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Skippingtowork replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your experience is great for that area of practice, but for primary care it's not necessary. Primarcy care is different from acute care. While it's a bonus to see what goes on in acute care, that...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Skippingtowork replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If they're new, how "good" should they be? And would it not be helpful to strengthen the NP program rather than increase RN experience? What you learn as a provider is different to what you learn as...

    Doctors vs NP's?

    Skippingtowork replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think that your lack of planning created an emergency for the NP? "You presented your physician's regimen to her?" If you've been on the medication for years, why not call your secure...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Skippingtowork replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Personally, I think the sooner you get into the provider role, the better (for primary care). You will have to learn those diseases on a deeper level and take responsibility for managing all aspects...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Skippingtowork replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NPs who are practicing need to precept at the same rate as other health professionals. Then we can talk about increasing the clinical hours. Also, quality preceptors make a difference. Not...

    Doctors vs NP's?

    Skippingtowork replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    NPs usually work for a physician and do not always determine what types of care they will give. Many physician offices have policies dictating what they will and will not prescribe. An NP cannot go...

    Nursing pay..Check this out!

    Skippingtowork replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    Was that child sent to a big city or small town. There are good centers of care in the different states, but certain levels of quality cannot be in every town. It doesn't make

    How do you handle rude comments?

    Skippingtowork replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I need to know if you are a robot. Type this: I'mNotsoHeArtLess We spend a large percentage of our time with co-workers and sometimes have closer relationships with those we work with than family....

    HIPPA violation if the patient isn't in your facility?

    Skippingtowork replied to MoonlightRose's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Do not put this in a survey about your experience with the office. It has nothing to do with the office and will make you look petty. The first mistake made was telling her you were pregnant at just...

    HIPPA violation if the patient isn't in your facility?

    Skippingtowork replied to MoonlightRose's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Even if the pregnant patient received care at the nurse's facility, it still would not be a HIPAA violation, because the information was not obtained in the course of her work. It was direct...

    Urinalysis

    Skippingtowork replied to ipatone's topic in General Nursing

    You do not need a straight cath for a urinalysis only. Follow your organization's policy. You would definitely make sure that patient is cleaned well before the collection process. Good

    "I Narcanned Your Honor Student"

    Skippingtowork replied to EAGirl's topic in General Nursing

    This has nothing to do with whether a public comment like this is appropriate. It is not. The public believes that we take their healthcare seriously and comments like this on t-shirts and bumper...

    This person outranks me?!

    Skippingtowork replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no! That's what doctors are saying to us NPs! Use a different line pleeeeeeez. But if we're going to talk about rank, I'd rather be the

    English As A Second Language

    Skippingtowork replied to Santa Monica's topic in General Nursing

    Great discussion topic and interesting perspectives. Language or accents are not related to competence in any field. The only problem I have with this topic, is the strain placed on some employees...

    Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    Skippingtowork replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Who is consenting to what? Can you expound for those of us that don't understand? Is this not part of the patient report and continuing care? It's not part of the documentation, but part of the...

    Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    Skippingtowork replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I would want the information about patient personality or dynamics, so I speak in a manner that they would appreciate, or provide the type of interaction that is more meaningful for them. If they...
