In Florida you must have a Masters Degree (Nurse Practitioner) to do cosmetic injections. We had an RN who had extensive training and did Botox and fillers for YEARS and was asked to stop, as it is now "outside the scope of practice." I myself was halfway through nursing school (in 2015) with that as my focus and then the law was changed! ?

I'm in FL, we all used Hurst Review and it really helped my whole group pass.

I have a possible opportunity to get a job as a new graduate with a hair transplant company. Since I really do not want to work in a hospital I'm thinking this might be a good opportunity, however my fiance thinks it's way too narrow and that I will be limiting myself. I'd be interested in knowing all thoughts on this. Thank you so much! Kathleen

I wouldn't want to try something "old" (as in "an old recovery trick") without hearing from a great many other nurses who had success with it, then I might try it if other interventions failed. Being curious by nature, the idea that this could also work like smelling salts, i.e. if I could illicit a reaction in a slow-to-respond patient before causing them pain, why wouldn't this be a valid thought process? Or IS it better to just go from Hello?Hello? to the painful sternum rub without a quick step in between? All comments welcome! :) Thank you for taking time to do so..

I had an experienced ICU RN show me an "old recovery trick" where just after she stood up a post-op patient for her first walk, she wafted an alcohol prep pad under the patient's nose when patient said she felt a bit dizzy. It seemed to work (or the amount of time standing stabilized her anyway?) I'm curious to hear thoughts on this, and was ALSO wondering if I have a patient who is unresponsive to voice, and before I do a painful sternal rub, would this be something to try? Thank you! :)
