I work in a different setting(primary care) but I give a limited course of pain medicine and then refer them to Pain Management. This pain management topic is becoming a snowball rolling downhill and gaining momentum.

I work in primary care. A 65 yo man came in with 2 week old acute pain 6/10 to the left groin radiating from the LLQ. He has no significant Hx except for mild HLD, treated with lipitor 20mg (5 years). He denies any lifting or straining precipitati...

I just graduated with my FNP and while in practice I noticed a lack of Psychiatrists and PNPs for mental health in my area of NY. Is there a way to become a Psychiatric NP without going to another 2 year school?

Thanks, I was looking for a shortcut...lol

I think it is a benefit to the public. I never knew there was a lack mental health prescribers in my area until I had patients who needed a referral. We are overrun with MD and FNPs, everyone is employed but there is no shortage. I see an opportun...

You are only training and do not count toward staffing....I think they wouldn't want you wasting their time if youaren't going to work there after

I am new to RAMP and I was at a Peer Group meeting and a discussion started about testing, rules and types of testing. The moderator, an RN and substance abuse phD said that each case is handled differently based on the individual's background. I h...

I am a frequent visitor to Sandpoint ID, I remember last time they were building a big cardiac facility in Couer D' Alene. Unfortunatelt Sandpoint only has a tiny hospital, which is where I want to move.

MSCHONY....some help here Steve, I am a little slow lol

I had heard they do not hire graduates from associates degree programs. This is the story around the "water cooler" in the college.

Steve I am graduating from a local ADN RN program in May. I live in Rockland NY, is this a place where I could work? I am currently a telemetry/EKG interpreter in a PCU in Westchester.

You have misspelled "pursuing" twice as "pursing." My school was BIG on spelling and would give back all paperwork with spelling errors. They felt that spelling errors on medications could have tragic results. Rockland Community College is a tough ...

What should I be aware of when medicating a Patient with Beta Blocker therapy(Metoprolol/Lopresor)? I was asked by a Professor and I am stumped.

Does anyone know of any site or information that is culturally specific for Hispanic families regarding maternity: Ante/Intra/Post partum...most specifically Puerto Rican. -Thanks- Helpless in NY

Check out the website http://www.kila.com/ they have both clones of the Cardiology III and the Master Cardiology. I bought the latter a few eeks ago for $35 and it is fantastic. Two RNs from ICU had me order them the same as well...really good ac...

The Master Cardiology is defintiely not a Double bell. It uses a compressable single bell which reproduces the smaller bell when it is pressed with a little more force against the skin. The double bell I have found in emergency situations presents ...

That was a truly heartwarming story. But let not the story outshine your gift of prose. You have a beauty of expression, don't waste it.

i have a cardiology iii, which is touted as one of the best($180). i wanted the newer master cardiology($160)but i found a chinese made clone for about $30 on their site and an ebay site...i got it in about 2 days and it is fantastic. i brought it ...

I cannot speak for the rest of the country but in the NY area. The clinical component of the programs are identical 4 semesters of hands on learning, classroom theory, lectures. In the 4-year schools the firstl 4 semesters of nursing are filled with ...

Another "Nancy" encounter: I came in early-as usual-the other night and "Nancy clone" couldn't wait to jump off her more than ample rump and excitedly tell me "Don't even bother putting your stuff down you got floated to ICU..HAHA!" I asked if she wa...

I had long ago wanted to pursue a career as an MD. I had only wanted to be a house DR or an ER doctor in a hospital. The medical school climate at the time(mid 80's)proved daunting for a poor kid to get into Med School...hence many doctors from that ...

I am sure the hospital is aware that collecting on this "buy-out" successfully in court would be next to impossible, even if the employee signed the contract.
