  1. reading EKGs- an advanced privilege?

    Thanks for all the comments! I agree that it is mostly a billing issue. In practice, I am seeing the patient in the ER for the cardiologist (who is likely in the cath lab) assessing the patient including interpreting the EKG. I'm making the decision ...
  2. reading EKGs- an advanced privilege?

    Hi all, I'm looking for some feedback about different facilities and specifically EKG reading by NPs. I am having trouble finding anything concrete that states that this specific skill is within our scope of practice. Most wording I find is quite vag...
  3. How does your specialty clinic operate?

    Hi all, I'm planning on working with my office manager to help restructure how our clinic is running. I'd love some examples of models that work well to take to our group meeting. We are a growing specialty practice with physicians and NPs / 1 PA tha...
  4. what am I worth? negotiating...

    So I'm 2 years into my first job and I'm worried that I'm being taken advantage of. How do I know what I am worth, financially? I feel like I should be getting paid more. Background: I am an ACNP working in cardiology. I do all my billing under my ph...
  5. Presenting to the attending physician

    I had the same problem, I was worried that something might be important but I just couldn't see that yet, so wouldn't want to leave anything out! I didn't know yet, what was important and what wasn't. I'm 2 years into practice and just now starting t...
  6. working without a contract?

    I'm wondering how common it is to have an NP job without a formal contract? Myself and another NP were hired by the same organization, by the same person, with the same package offered at about the same time. There was no contract offered and I did n...
  7. How to sign my name and credential?

    zenman, I can't find anything on the NM BON website that tells me how I must sign my name. I'm having prescription pads made up for me and not sure if I should use CNP or ACNP-BC. I thought the latter was the nationally recognized title from my certi...
  8. ANCC to retire most popular, and eventually all, NP roles.

    I think someone hinted at this in their post, but why not just alter the test to include more geriatric questions, thus proving our competency. I know my program included geriatric material, does this mean I may be eligible for the new exam? It sound...
  9. All the other stuff (ANCC test)

    Well I passed!!!!! I think over half of the test was on "therapeutic communication". I had no idea how I was doing the entire time, it was very nerve racking. I could narrow those questions down to 2 good choices then it was a guessing game. It's ha...
  10. All the other stuff (ANCC test)

    Any clues on how to study for the billing and coding section listed in the content outline. I get the levels of exam (focused vs comprehensive) but what about the section on Health Care Policy- health care financing (billing, coding, reimbursement, t...
  11. Adult NP or FNP?? Any Opinions??

    So I read over this consenus model during a break in studying for my soon to be retired certification (ACNP) and the way I see it is that I'm OK as long as I don't ever let my certification lapse? It sounds like, if something happened and I wasn't pr...
  12. When should I start applying for NP jobs?

    Yes, prepare yourself now for a wait financially and mentally! I graduated in August and won't test until December. My job will start "hopefully" beginning of January. The earliest I could have was end of October. At this point it feels like it will ...
  13. Taking NP boards...

    I just graduated this summer and towards the end my instructors were telling us that they were adding certain amounts of geriatric information to the existing curriculum to meet the new requirements. I'm assuming this won't affect re-certification f...
  14. AACN ACNP exam

    It is my understanding that the AACN cert is not accepted everywhere (VA, IHS facilities...) so I haven't heard much about it. I'll email you too.
  15. AACN ACNP exam

    I'm signed up for ANCC, any idea why you think you might have failed? What did you find to be challenging about the test? I shouldn't even be on here reading these kinds of posts!!!
