  1. NP bridge programs, regarding ADVANCE article...

    Chris-FNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone. This is my first time here and the only reason why I am here is that I read an article in ADVANCE for NPs that kind of angered me. It mentioned that there were forums (like this)...

  2. Good clogs? For males?

    Chris-FNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    I, like most of you, are on my feet for 10 hours a day. I'm tired of wearing shoes that make my feet ache. Are there any good clogs for males? I've seen a bunch of male residents in the hospital...

  3. Nurse using drugs at work - ? violent

    Chris-FNP replied to peggy101's topic in General Nursing

    Some of you people need to get a life. Its Ativan!!! Its a mild Benzodiazepine for anxiety, as well as other common conditions. Maybe this nurse is going through a tough time right now. Mind your...

  4. DO/MD?

    Chris-FNP replied to janine3&5's topic in General Nursing

    A DO and an MD are essentially the same. They both go to medical school and they both have to go through a residency program. A DO actually does a bit more because he or she not only practices...

  5. are they going to judge me...........need advice

    Chris-FNP replied to micknmel's topic in General Nursing

    I have OCD and it does stink so I understand your problem. My OCD waxes and wanes. Sometimes its real bad and other times its just annoying. Right now, its bad. Whether this helps or not, I'm 28...

  6. For Level2Trauma; Chris-FNP

    Chris-FNP replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Wow!!! Again, who has the right to judge anybody? Who compared Ativan to heroin? This is foolish. There are plenty of nurses and doctors that take drugs like Ativan, Buspar, Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft,...

  7. We Be Smart

    Chris-FNP replied to nursejanedough's topic in General Nursing

    You forgot "PR" Ouch!!! If I'm ever admitted to the hospital and I see a "PR" order in my chart, you better be damn sure that even in my dazed and confused state, that "R" will be turned into an "O"...

  8. Professional Attire for Nurses

    Chris-FNP replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm going to start wearing a cap, a white skirt, and thong underwear. Now that's a male nurse!!! (kidding...really kidding) ;-)

  9. RNs versus NPs?

    Chris-FNP replied to Kadie-NP's topic in General Nursing

    Navy Nurse, I agree with you. I wasn't really addressing Ph.D. Nurses in particular because they do tend to be researchers. I also agree that positional respect is a lot easier to earn than what you...

  10. RNs versus NPs?

    Chris-FNP replied to Kadie-NP's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with chili2641. People keep stressing experience...and experience is VERY important. However, education is also a critical factor in educating BSNs and NPs. Yes, experience is crucial to...

  11. Is it me...or has the internet made people lazier?

    Chris-FNP replied to 2ndCareerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey haji, Here is a thought...it probably takes more effort to actually post a question here and wait for replies than it does simply typing in a key word on a search engine. So your reasoning makes...

  12. Professional Attire for Nurses

    Chris-FNP replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm honored I've made it into a thread twice!!! (kidding) Anyway, I think nurses should do what everyone else has done...change with the times. You can look professional in anything within...

  13. Is it me...or has the internet made people lazier?

    Chris-FNP replied to 2ndCareerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not offended, but the fact that this bothers you is pretty weird. Not to mention the fact that if you used your head, you would realize that a lot of people happen to know of obscure sites that...

  14. RNs versus NPs?

    Chris-FNP replied to Kadie-NP's topic in General Nursing

    I have a feeling that some of this RN versus NP stuff has to do with job satisfaction. If your an RN, and love your job, you probably don't have any ill feelings towards NPs (even the NPs that went...

  15. MSN for Non-nurses, your opinion...

    Chris-FNP replied to patty26's topic in General Nursing

    One day we will all get along!!! When? Who knows. :-)

  16. Good clogs? For males?

    Chris-FNP replied to Chris-FNP's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much everyone. I think I am going shopping today for the Danskos. Thanks,

  17. MSN for Non-nurses, your opinion...

    Chris-FNP replied to patty26's topic in General Nursing

    RN-NP relations? Hmmm. That's a tough question to answer. I don't know if there will ever be a real solution. There are so many dynamics involved. Ultimately, it comes down to just people and...

  18. MSN for Non-nurses, your opinion...

    Chris-FNP replied to patty26's topic in General Nursing

    Tim, You said it perfect. NPs definitely have one foot in each door...nursing and medicine. In my personal experience, I find that MDs tend to have a lot of respect for us. In my case, I am only 28...

  19. MSN for Non-nurses, your opinion...

    Chris-FNP replied to patty26's topic in General Nursing

    Fergus51, I guess passion can be a double-edged sword. I understand what you are saying. Maybe a lot of what I said does not apply to you. I still think that a lot of RNs have chips on their...

  20. MSN for Non-nurses, your opinion...

    Chris-FNP replied to patty26's topic in General Nursing

    Fergus51, Statements like the ones I made are in response to the crap we have to deal with in the first place. If we want to get childish about it, we could say "You started it." We never went into...

  22. MSN for Non-nurses, your opinion...

    Chris-FNP replied to patty26's topic in General Nursing

    Fergus51 RNs don't like these programs because we have lttle practical experience as floor nurses, but a lot of intelligence. Most of us went to highly ranked schools (some from the Ivy League)....

  23. Facts/Advice on future career move.

    Chris-FNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello Amygdala18, I am an FNP and love my job. Sometimes I feel like a resident because of the workload, plus, I'm still learning. However, I really love being an NP. Personally, I think being a PA...

  24. Malpractice Insurance

    Chris-FNP replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    If you really think the hospital will "stand behind you" if you make a mistake...your dreaming!!! If you make a mistake that leads to a lawsuit, your employer will not only fire you, but they will...
