  1. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, the EpiPen would be my first choice if I needed one. It's like comparing a car. EpiPen is the rolls Royce, and this method is the run down Honda Civic. They are both cars, they will both get...

  2. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    Understood, there is panic. But in the same amount of time it takes to arm your EpiPen, in a pre filled syringe with a needle already loaded, all one has to do is remove the safety cap and

  3. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    You need to stop with the whole liability thing. Giving advice is not a liability. If someone was interested in this method, they still need to see their doctor, talk about this alternative and get a...

  4. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    its not infringement. The same way news agencies around the US can put it on the news, I can put it in my video. It falls under the fair use act. (Not sure if they have that in Canada, where you're...

  5. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree I could have added a few more things. I like the idea about the deterioration and such. Great part of making videos on YouTube is that I can always upload another one. I also have stats...

  6. Direct care maybe not my thing?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Wartocin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know two NPs who do not touch a patient ever. One is a chief nursing officer for an emergency department staffing company. The second is the lead MLP for an emergency physicians group. Both the...

  7. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    just my iPhone!! It records in HD, so I never really considered a regular camera. All my videos on YouTube are recorded on a smart phone. I use iMovie to edit along with 6 other apps on my phone to do...

  8. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    Copay requires insurance. Adrenalin is FDA approved for anaphylaxis, so there is no liability on my end for bringing attention to those unaware of another option. Granted this method requires some...

  9. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    good question. The epi in vials can sit at room temp with no issues. They normally sit in crash carts all the time. There was a question on YouTube someone asked me about the expiration date of the...

  10. Gonorrhea in the throat

    YoutubeTheNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yuck! Sorry for the distasteful headline. I wanted to share an experience with my fellow NPs here. So I'm doing rounds the other day and had a young girl, 22yo, hospitalized with sore throat (weak...

  11. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the comment! I did make the video with some assumptions in mind. The first being that I was talking in regards to the EpiPen only (adult dose) versus the EpiPen Jr. As far as drawing up...

  12. Are you supposed to check a boy's foreskin during a physical?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to SydneyKidney's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think I'm beating a dead horse when I say this, but I always ask myself before I do something what benefit will it provide? For example; I listen to heart sounds to determine any MRG I listen to the...

  13. Too soon to become an NP?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to SjwRNBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've been an NP since 2012. I agree first few years as an RN is more than enough. I would, however, discourage a recent BSN grad to go right into a NP program without ever stepping a foot in a...

  14. Too soon to become an NP?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to SjwRNBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree. I'm just using that as an example, the example could have been anything. The point I was making is having that foundation of information, basic labs, common X-ray findings, etc, etc. I still...

  15. Too soon to become an NP?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to SjwRNBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Certainly what he/she said ^^ but I also believe NPs need a foundation of knowledge from being an RN. Take for example, lab and XR interpretations. A new nurse fresh out of school won't know how to...

  16. FNPs, do you do prostate exams?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seems like the majority of these organizations don't encourage it. Thank you for the broad analysis. I was taught to discuss the risk vs benefit of the PSA to the pt as well. I would imagine...

  17. First job but, time to leave?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Rhythsetradio's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're moving to DFW let me know I can help you find work easily, that's where I am now. As as far as the obs unit you're in, I am nestled in one now and I love it. Same schedule as you, but I...

  18. FNPs, do you do prostate exams?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm surprised to see a lot of Uro NPs checking PSA. According to Final Update Summary: Prostate Cancer: Screening - US Preventive Services Task Force it is not recommended. What guidelines do you use...

  19. EpiPen Alternative

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    0.3-0.5 are both acceptable

  20. I&D...sterile procedure?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to deefizzle's topic in General Nursing

  21. Gonorrhea in the throat

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You would think, right? That's Suburbia for ya in this case, the lightbulb doesn't always go on.

  22. Yes, I'm a Nurse Consultant.

    YoutubeTheNP replied to TexasP's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Sorry never worked in NICU or peds, but what is a chronic newborn? As far as supplemental income goes, I put my spare time in making medical procedure and educational YouTube videos on the channel,...

  24. Quitting an on-call position?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Tacomaboy3's topic in General Nursing

    A professional way to resign from a position is a nice thought out letter/email to your manager. Explain the situation, thank them for the opportunity and pleasure to work at their facility, and leave...

  25. Intimidated

    YoutubeTheNP replied to matthewwilliams734's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly man, it's going to be one of the hardest things you ever do, especially if you're not the typical A+ student. If you're still having personal issues and relationship problems I would stay...
