  1. Fastest Nurse Practitioner (NP) Programs | 2025

    offlabel commented on Melissa Mills's program in Nursing Programs: Explore Your Options

    The hospital based NP's that have the most credibility with patients, hospital staff and medical staff (from what I can see) are the ones that are an integral part of a medical practice with a 'hand...

  2. EKG order

    offlabel replied to cepr4's topic in General Nursing

    Invite the RR team member to write you up and be sure to copy the cardiologist and the medical director of the RR

  3. Imposter syndrome

    offlabel replied to DoloresC14's topic in General Nursing

    Not everything needs a name. Insecurity, hesitation and hypervigilance are defense mechanisms when you're new. Acknowledge them, appreciate them to the extent that they keep you from more difficulty...

  5. 69 Medications Every New ER Nurse Must Master!

    offlabel replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in Emergency

    Well...maybe not *master*....never gave protamine a single time in the ER let alone those I may have given once...know what general category they're in? Sure. In the day and age of internet searches,...

  6. Is it possible to lose my license for this error?

    offlabel replied to Tali56's topic in School

    No, we know you're not losing your license over this one isolated event. And school nurses are not some unique species that function under a different set of rules. If there are other, compounding...

  7. Is it possible to lose my license for this error?

    offlabel replied to Tali56's topic in School

    Chill out. Med error. If licensing were revoked for that, there'd be no nurses. You caught it right away, self reported and, presumably because you didn't say, there were no serious consequences as a...

  8. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

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

    So how would 'going on strike' effect that? That's even pretending that NP's as a professional body possessed the ability to leverage a position by a strike. The thing to do would be to demonstrate...

  9. Paths To Critical Care (true story)

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

  10. 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...

  12. 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...

  13. 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...

    This is the stuff I worry about, and that's just for starters. Read this to the end. The road to hell is paved with good

  21. 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,...

  24. 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...
