MJC2118 APRN

Hello all. I have been working as an NP for the past 2 years, in a general cardiology clinic. I have recently come across a position opening in a heart failure clinic at a different facility. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight as t...

For those of you who work in primary care, how do you approach patients who come to you with s/s of mental illness?? I lost my sister to suicide in January, and as an FNP myself, it has really had be reflecting on this topic. My sister has struggled ...

Hello all, I was hoping someone had some good suggestions for EKG resources??? I will be starting my first NP job in a few months, which is a Cardiology clinic position. My program did not require me to learn how to read EKG. I have a few mo months s...

I know this is an old post; however, I'd like to thank those of you who had helpful and encouraging things to say. After being in Cardiology as an APRN for the past 6 months, I'd like to share how everything has turned out. Ya know, since I didn't ha...

No, I do not regret going back to school to become an NP. As an RN with 6 years experience, I was making $58,000 a year. I worked night shift, so that was with a differential. I now make $86,000. I live in the Midwest though, so pay is a little less ...

Sorry, I just realized you said section patient. Usually in this situation, diets are advanced as tolerated but activity is usually minimal until Mag is off.

Our patients are on Mag for either preeclampsia or PTL, and is usually initiated immediately. With both of these scenarios, the patient should not be eating food (in case of c/s) and should not be up walking around (which isn't exactly safe with Mag,...

Bed rest, NPO or clears, IVF rate depends on Mag rate to total no more than 125 ml/hr, and mag levels are drawn PRN for s/s

Definitely Up-to-date, as others have mentioned. I also really like Habif's Clinical Dermatology

Yes, you must first get your Bachelors degree before you can get your Masters degree. There are 2 degrees that will allow you to get your RN license. An Associates degree (2 year program if full time, usually) and a Bachelors degree (about 4 or 5 yea...

Thank you so much for your helpful response! That was exactly the type of answer I was looking for. When I was doing clinical in the office, the cardiologist was going over 12-leads with me, and I knew I had some deeper learning to do that was beyond...

1. MO 2. Outpatient specialty clinic 3. 1-2 patients per hour/10-12 per day

I am an L&D nurse who works night shift, and at the moment, there are more new L&D nurses on my shifts than experienced, (which is rare usually) so I've had to deal with newbies quite often within the last year or so. I can say this... never ...

I was in your exact situation a year and a half ago. I have had this diagnosis for about 6-7 years, very rarely have outbreaks and when I do it is extremely mild. I often forget I even have It. I work in L&D and hear negative comments about this ...

Also, I must add, that crossfit has an "on ramp" program for newbies that specifically aims to teach the moves, modifications for moves and proper body mechanics, etc

I don't personally do Crossfit, but know a lot of people that do with my husband being one of them. There is a modification for everything and it's not a requirement to go everyday or to "keep up." Everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace. The ...

You don't need to know my perspective or opinion on why this position is a good fit for me, in order to recommend me some resources, which by the way, was the original intent of the post.

With the utmost respect, I disagree. Cardiology is the right fit for me, and even though I have not had any training in advanced EKG interpretation, it does not mean that I can't do this job. There is not a cardiology NP specialty program out there t...

Maybe you should read my edited post again before you judge too much. I was referring to advanced interpretation of EKGs. I shouldve been more clear and careful with my wording. I was just trying to make a quick post. We did not HEAVILY cover EKGs, b...

I know how to read basic EKGs. While we went over some EKGs in school as a refresher, it was never a requirement or heavily covered and never tested on. I want more advanced training for this job, that is what I'm getting at. My program was family pr...

I have worked in a large hospital as an RN for the past 5 years, and have recently graduated with my Master's in Nursing and have recently been certified by ANCC and received my licensure last week. Do I need to let my current employer know about thi...

I would also like to add that I continue to work as an RN here because I have been doing so for the last 5 years and have been since graduating because I have to pay bills, but am looking for an NP job. Not trying to be secretive, just didn't know if...

Ok well first of all, I work for a large hospital... yes, my manager knows I was in school, graduated and am now an NP. I was more or less referring to HR and whether or not I need to have my transcripts, certification all that brought into them. No,...

I agree with everything the poster said. I took the ANCC yesterday (June 28th), and passed. I would say 40% nonclinical is right. I felt like every other question was a nonclinical question. With that being said, if you have had a strong primary care...

I think this is pretty accurate. I went back to school for an opportunity to get a job that will have me home every night with my family, as well as no weekends or holidays. Working nights and having to miss holidays and important events with my fami...
