  1. Rural Midlevel Abuse

    What were you eating before. You can make 75K at the bedside in the terribly paying Southeast. So at these pitiful low rates for NPs you can at least eat and pay the mortgage as well as you ever have if you just wait for the offer to go up. And when...
  2. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    I intend to use it
  3. Rural Midlevel Abuse

    BS!!! There are jobs out there and if all of you (PAs included) would walk off laughing from those conversations, the salary will go up. Why, no supply increases demand. More demand equal more money. The just take any job mentality keeps the chains o...
  4. Insults to the midlevel professions

    While we are at it.... let's just allow this supervisory role for a couple of years out of school... then let's cut the poor doctors loose and show 'em what we got.
  5. Insults to the midlevel professions

    dunno. i guess he feels that's all a mid-level is good for. he certainly doesn't want them practicing independently. he's had this np student for a few months, and she's the one he's planning on hiring to do his scut work, as long as he can "train he...
  6. what to know @ scene of accident

    If there is anyone at the scene (meaning the last 6 cars that have stopped and are clogging up the works) I keep driving. I have no tools to do much that would be useful anyway. I don't carry around the emergency bag. Now if you need a bandaid and I ...
  7. NPs in EM?

    I think FNP is the better ER option. If I was an ACNP I would go for the FNP as a second. As an FNP working in ER, I am thinking of getting ACNP for potential move into a hospital service kind of role. Just thinking about it right now. Might not even...
  8. What's the proper way to address an NP?

    I use my first name. Introduce myself like this... "Hi I'm (first name), the nurse practitioner. What can I do for you today?" Then we move on, the cell phone rings, they answer and say that they can't talk right now because the doctor is in the room...
  9. NPs in EM?

    It has been quite a while.... whew!! I work ER... FNP certified. What is expected is widely variable from place to place. I work a rural ER and am the double coverage. I am expected to be able to see you if you have a chest wall deformity or a runny ...
  10. Well if they were waiting for me to use the alcohol foam hanging on the wall they would be waiting a long time. I hate that stuff. My hands are dry enough without continuously putting alcohol on them. I use the soap and water method. However, the al...
  11. How is this fair?

    Sometimes life just ain't fair. The End.
  12. Help I'm mobbed

    I am not sure what would be happening in an environment where one was being mobbed. I know just about everyone has been picked on before for something insignificant. Sometimes, it turns into a pattern (sometimes swirling the drain) of behavior. What ...
  13. Consents When Under The Influence

    If they are able to understand the procedure and have had an opportunity to have all their questions answered by the surgeon (that is the part that I get hung up on) then they can sign for themselves. That being said it is never a bad idea to have an...
  14. I attended an in person program and still had to find my own preceptors. The ER docs I worked with were more than willing to help, but I had to find office placement for 8 hours each week and it wasn't easy. Lots don't wish to perform this service to...
  15. What is a Credentialing Specialist?

    I love and could not live without the credentialing specialist that works with me. I don't know what they would do at an insurance company, but if I had to keep up with all my own stuff.... I don't know if I would have time for anything else.
