1. Easy/Difficult NP jobs

   NP2015 replied to Fnpatlast's topic in Advanced

   FNPatlast: Some physicians are bullies which is exactly what you're dealing with. It is an unrealistic expectation to throw a new NP in the setting without proper orientation because EVERY PLACE IS DIFFERENT !!! There is no excuse for their idiotic b...

5. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

   NP2015 replied to lvICU's topic in NP

   Well one of the things to look for is if the company mentions that the assessments are in one particular area and if they pay for gas mileage. I would think that, that would be a good company to work for. I just wonder how long is the credentialing p...

   NP2015 replied to lvICU's topic in NP

   I would love to do this job but I just think that I need to excel in the clinic environment first. But if I were offered such a job I'd jump on the bandwagon pretty daggone quick.....We have been around and sacrifced for 100 years or more. Isn't it t...

    NP2015 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Advanced

    That's not realistic in this profession. Every RN does not always have the time to go around socializing. The question was catty at best and unnecessary. RNs have this unprofessional cutthroat attitude and it is just ridiculous. Just because you foun...

    NP2015 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Advanced

    I have been an inpatient RN for many years off and on; but I have never been in the advanced role's circle of influence or ever knew or watched what they did because I was too busy caring for my patients. Rounding can mean rounding via report over pa...

14. FNP vs NP vs CNS

    NP2015 replied to mills9229's topic in NP Students
