  1. Paths To Critical Care (true story)

    offlabel replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Critical Care

    Buyer beware. Although for certain advanced practice degrees and leadership/administration roles, a BSN from Marquette carries more gravitas than a piece meal pathway to entry into practice. After...

  2. NP to physician... is it possible?

    offlabel replied to FamNP123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Best thing to do is speak with docs that are mom's as well. It's also a specialty sensitive answer, ie, a CT surgeon who is a mom (pretty rare IME) would probably give a way different answer than a...

  3. Can I work in a level 3 NICU with only level 2 experience?

    offlabel replied to amalay's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  4. Medical Aid in dying

    offlabel replied to Indigo9899's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Slippery slope is a term that is used a lot in conversations like these, but I think a better term is 'logical progression'. So called 'involuntary euthanasia' is practiced at least in the...

  5. Medical Aid in dying

    offlabel replied to Indigo9899's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    After one year, 40% of applicants were permitted to use the medical system to end their lives in NZ. Canada's system has grown by about 30% per year since 2016. The trend is pretty demonstrable and as...

  13. Experience

    offlabel replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    No argument. There does need to be a separation and contextualization of nursing experience translated to advanced practice, though. In anesthesia, the baseline/advanced technical knowledge,...

  14. get 'em breathing

    offlabel posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is there some unwritten rule about getting the patient breathing before you wake him up? Suggesting to an SRNA to keep the patient on mechanical ventilation right up to the point that he opens his...

  16. Apex CPC modules

    offlabel replied to Qwiigley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nope. The AANA front NBCRNA is mandating these for the enhancement of the 'nurse doctor' narrative. They're busy work to give credibility to the Nurse Anesthesiologist title as well as enrich the...

  19. Did this nurse behave unethically?

    offlabel replied to subee's topic in Nursing News

    I guess I'm looking more at the physicians that sent this lady home before she even delivered. PROM? Heavy bleeding? So much for health care. They just sent her home? 3 times? If this woman was robbed...

  21. Experience

    offlabel replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    This does make a lot of sense. There is a cultural mindset that must be shed when an RN enters advanced practice. I tell my DNP students the need to stop thinking like a nurse. That sounds like an...

  22. Nurse Practitioner Abuse

    offlabel replied to CritCareAPP1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Bedside RN's making sure you know who's the boss is incredibly frustrating. The irony is a lot of them have aspirations to enter advanced practice at one point but no one has clued them in that they...

    Ultimately, the pro's and con's come into play when you get into more than one. Apply to all of them, get admitted, and then if you're lucky enough to be able to choose between 2 or more, check

    offlabel replied to Shannon Curry's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    way less of a monitoring problem than a kidnapping one. Arbitrary time frames for discharging a baby like that to an unmonitored environment (home) are...arbitrary. Someone walking off with the...
