    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Theoretically, for those of us who respect and advocate for free will and the preservation of individual liberty, the answer would be yes. But if you’re working actively as a nurse and being true to...

    #AMAGetOutTheWay: Nurses, Doctors, and Students United

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    This nuance is lost on most people, including our legislators, unfortunately. For many (and I would argue most), single payer = universal coverage = wholly government run = socialized medicine, which...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    In my humble opinion, any healthcare provider who refuses to treat a sinus infection because the sufferer is trans is in the wroooong business. Biomedical ethics, the Nightingale Oath, and the...

    Go Write Your Book!

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to Carol Ebert's topic in Retired Nurses

    This is very inspiring to me. I've long known I have more than one book in me... they're rattling around in there somewhere. I suppose I need to find the right pry bar.

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I love this response, MunoRN. I'll be chuckling for the rest of the day now. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity and common sense! In all seriousness, though, our society needs to take a long...

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I'm so impressed by the common sense demonstrated in the replies to this post. Maybe we should send a link to this thread to Washington... As nurses, we need to encourage a more rational approach to...

    Is this for Me?

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a lot of fabulous advice in this thread, and I agree with all of it. I was 42 when I got into nursing school, and I overpaid for my nursing degree, but I don't regret going to nursing school....

    Your Third Act

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to Carol Ebert's topic in Health, Stress Management

    My recent 50th birthday brought many of these types of thoughts to the forefront for me. What does my future hold? How much longer do I have to make the kind of difference I always thought I'd make?...

    Know Your Continuing Education Requirements: What I Wish I’d Known [Part 1]

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to Lane Therrell FNP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear the extra articles via CE Direct did not count, but glad the hats and pillows did. No doubt those tangible handmade items meant more to the patients than any extra book-learning ever...

    Hats off to you, Winniewoman9060, for remaining certified post retirement. Being surprised by changing renewal requirements is definitely no fun. Maintaining credentials means meeting “… the...

    Know Your Continuing Education Requirements: What I Wish I’d Known [Part 1]

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to Lane Therrell FNP's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you would think that both certification renewals should be accommodated by a single account-- especially considering the price. You were clever to think of setting up two accounts, though. Others...

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to Lane Therrell FNP's topic in General Nursing

    What is most important to chart on?

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to Red_Diamond's topic in General Nursing

    Develop a systematic approach for the multi-step processes you do routinely (like assessments). When you develop good habits of always doing things the same way in the same order, you're less likely...

    Older Doctor doesn't think nurses should be in charge

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    Your comments speak to an idea that's been rattling around in my head for a long time: Almost all healthcare professionals at all levels could use a refresher course in teamwork, leadership, and...

    Should 40 year old mom become a psych NP?

    Lane Therrell FNP replied to HetherV's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to echo the sentiments here that if your employer is supporting you, go for it, and never look back. There's an incredible increasing demand for psych NPs. You'll find creative ways to...
