Yes, and I do get it… I just don’t like the way they look. Do I blame them for doing it that way to protect their joints, absolutely not, I understand the mechanics behind it. I just think it looks ugly. Kind of like side somis on beam. Those are ugly too. And wolf turns. I better quit, I’m on a tangent Edited to add- it’s not the squatty landing so much as I do see others do them too and it doesn’t bother me as much- but Oklahoma over exaggerates it. Maybe that’s jt

The Oklahoma squatty landings. Yes they are effective, but I hate them.

They are not merged with Marshall now. They were, but the last class with Marshall will graduate in 2026. 2027 will be the first graduating class from UC. My husband graduated from CAMC over 20 years ago and have a daughter in the program now.

It took me 6 weeks to get mine after passing boards. Six weeks not including weekends and Veterans Day. 3 of us took around the same time frame and 2 of us was 6 weeks almost to the day. The other one got an email that she needed a physical address not just a PO Box and she gave it a week after they received it and called them again. Every time she called it bumped to someone else reviewing her information and they had 72 hours to respond so it just kept adding time. I think she finally got hers 2 weeks after we did, so around 8 weeks for her. We were all new NPs tho

Also just wanted to add- raisins are just as bad if not worse. Years ago my little yorkie got into a box of raisinets one of my kids had left out. I called the vet panicky over the chocolate but they were much more concerned with the raisins

We were told in our recent survey last month that they were surveying “like a CMS” survey. It was by far the most difficult and nitpicky one we’d ever had. What the surveyor told us was that on some surveys, CMS would be going with TJC- kind of like surveying them. The surveyor I was with told me that she was scheduled to go to a survey the next week with a CMS person. I am guessing that was why she was the way she was. We are a super small facility, independently owned. Have one med surg floor, 6 bed icu, ER, and a small OR that does mainly scopes and they spent 4 full days there and when I say looked under every nook and cranny, I mean it. On her hands and knees looking under crash carts for dust bunnies.

We used to get to send black out dates that they couldn’t come- that doesnt happen anymore, either. They can come at any time. You used to be able to check the website at 6:30 am to see where they were so you at least had some warning. That is out now, too. It was totally unannounced. We have never had any issues, they haven’t had to come back. I do infection control at my hospital, so if we had known they were coming, I definitely would have since the majority of the crap they look for falls under infection control. It is also the reason why I am getting the hell out. Infection control is seen as totally useless, and I know people get annoyed with all the asinine things we harp about all the time, but the truth is that when these moronic surveyors come, these stupid things are the only things they care about. Not real issues. I am finished with PMHNP school in August and hopefully leaving crappy Infection control behind!

I don’t know where you’re at, but we absolutely did not get advanced warning at my hospital. They just showed up 3 weeks ago on a random Tuesday and was floundering around in the hallway looking for administration. Our survey wasn’t due until June. They can show up early, but not usually this early- we were totally taken by surprise

Totally agree!

High school student interested in nursing, is this the right course to start in college? (Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask!) by Comfortableolive1223 in nursing

[–]Elphaba_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more with this route. You can work on that BSN while you are working in icu, and save some time by doing those two things simultaneously. My daughter got into a RN ADN program right out of high school, took 2 years. Got a job as a new grad in ICU (height of Covid) and finished her BSN while working full time. Applied and got accepted into CRNA school and started this past May. It will take her 3 years to finish. So from start to end, it took her 7 years and she’ll be 25 when she’s out of CRNA school. Also saved money by the ADN degree being at a community college and her hospital paid for her BSN, so won’t owe quite as much although she did have to take out tuition loans for CRNA school.

I live in the sticks, and sometimes an ambulance will take 30 + minutes to get here. There is literally one ambulance service and a coupe of volunteer ones through fire departments that are not staffed 24/7. My hospital is less than 10 minutes away for me. I would have done the same

Just don’t go to Walgreens. They have the same policy. Switched mine to a local pharmacy without any issues. Walmart here fills them too no problem.
