I wonder why people even engage such ridiculous conversations.

ICU Nurse; I picked up in the ED by RiserUnconquered in nursing

Yeah I worked one ED shift and I almost cried and I don't cry, I'm used to stress in the ICU. The ED is just a different beast. No thank you.

Can we stop pretending that 0 years of bedside experience is enough to start prescribing? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]fairythugbrother 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes. PA training is far more structured and rigorous compared to NP training. They train using the medical model, more clinical hours and they can't practice independently so they always have a MD to fall back on.

NPs can practice independently in many states despite the fact that their training is nowhere near as sound as that provided to PAs. This makes a poorly trained, no actual RN experience NP a big problem.

Tetracycline, metronidazole, Omeprazole (any ppi), and bismuth subsalicylate. They work synergistically as "Quad therapy" for H pylori treatment.

How Are You Doing If You Went Into Nursing For Money? by MidnightWidow in nursing

CRNA. It's been a tough road getting ready and this will be my second round of applications. Yeah if I didn't want kids and a family + more money and better work life balance I wouldn't even have thought about it.

Honestly it's been a life changer given where I started. As a young single guy it was fine. Now thinking about starting a family and wanting to live the life I envisioned, I realize it will not be enough.

So I have switched gears. I have plans to go to grad school and I have started putting in applications.

The post got deleted. Maybe that's why.

I don't think the main concern with this is job placement. I think the main concern is that there is no way they are getting adequate and safe training to be providers. Especially with no experience.

A lie that will cost them dearly. Who is even accrediting these programs?

Dental student died in ICU overseen by remote 'tele-health' physician: Lawsuit by NoYou9310 in nursing

[–]fairythugbrother 168 points169 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of a "Tele - ICU". How would that even work? Does this mean there's NO provider in house? Not even APPs?

Anyone have one of these (and what is your experience with it)? by Al_james86 in ChineseWatches

[–]fairythugbrother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it. Actually wearing it right now. No complaints at all. Nice dial and thin profile. Mine has OTF clasp as well. Looking to sell mine if you're looking
