Watson Wed, 05 Aug 2009 01:24:18 +0000 http://markontheworld.wordpress.com/2007/03/30/nurses-are-not-doctors/#comment-1111 I think you should look at your title. Nurses are not Doctors. Nurses are not trained to diagnose patients and therefore should not write orders without a physician first diagnosing the patient. Nurse Practitioners and Physicians Assistants also should practice under the supervision of a doctor. A doctor spends much longer in school to ensure that certain conditions are diagnosed appropriately and that patient care is not compromised. I think you should look at your title.

Have you heard of a "good" school (teaching style/class ratio/burocracy) in NY/NJ/PA? I'm looking to finish my last year of nursing. Thank you. Hi.

Levin Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:48:14 +0000 http://markontheworld.wordpress.com/2007/03/30/nurses-are-not-doctors/#comment-1091 I read some stats from Ontario recently that found NPs could handle 80% of what primary care physicians normally do. I’d like to see NPs handling that 80% so that primary care docs can spend more time managing the other 20%… rather than rushing through the 80% and then not having enough time for the 20%. If that makes any sense. Can you refer me to the actual source for this? I read some stats from Ontario recently that found NPs could handle 80% of what primary care physicians normally do.

That burn-out is very common from what I've heard. The good news is 90% of head-spinning frustration and busywork school inflicts on you drops away when you get out. You suddenly have time you forgot existed. Friends start talking to you again, and not just about effective study methods or quizzing you on drug side-effects. Life begins again. The other side of that is depending on where you are, the support system is very important on your job. Being able to rely on people is super important. The group you work with is going to be there during some very trying times, so I hope you like them. I'm very lucky at Super Hospital. I'm enjoying the work and the people I work there with. But I don't typically get sucked into the dramas that can unfold in the breakrooms or hallways. ;-) Good luck to you, Markie Aaron,

The statistics out there for new graduate retention is quite alarming (something like 1 in 5 new nurses quit in the their first year). I'm in my senior year of nursing school all set to graduate this May and I am already feeling burnt out! Of course, this is mostly because of al the crap they are putting us through that feels completely unrelated to nursing... reflection papers,formal presentations, position papers, etc etc. I can't wait until i can finally get back to actually taking care of people.

Yup, we actually did pretty well as a group. No CNL positions locally, so we need to build up our street cred and create them. Good luck with your classes! Thanks for coming by!

I'm not sure I can get the enthusiasm to watch another whole film though.... But thanks for the suggestion, I'll think about it after a little time has passed.
