   Thanks ArmaniX. Sometimes I feel that the NP role has been broken down into too many specialties? I've been an NP for almost 8 years and it's crazy how I'm confused about this. Even the descriptions of the roles on the PNCB are very similar.

7. Hand off

   Dr.Naija_Glam replied to b747girl5's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds like the new nurse jitters. I can relate because it was hard for me to give report when I was a new nurse. After 2 months, you are still a fairly new nurse and still learning of course. It can seem intimidating when you're asked a question, bu...

8. Asking For A Raise

   Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in NP

   Hi flowingoan! It's a good idea to review asthma and cf. Also become familiar with spirometry and pulm meds. Will you be reviewing chest x-rays? If so, I'm sure your employer will have you shadow with someone who reviews them regularly.

   Jules, based on your advice, I decided to ask for 10K more instead of 6K.......and my manager agreed!!!! I gave a thorough rationale as to why I deserved the raise. Thank you for your advice.

10. Asking For A Raise

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in NP

    Thanks for your input Jules, I have NP friends, but we don't work in the same organization. We are open with our salaries. The NPs I do work with aren't very open in regards to salary unfortunately. I never considered being payed at a premium for wee...

12. Feeling guilty..

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    It's good that you're thinking ahead. Be sure that you are aware of your current jobs policy on giving notice. Most jobs want 2 weeks, but some want 3 weeks or more. You need to know this anyway, so you can be sure when you let the potential new empl...

13. Why did you pick your NP Program?

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in NP Students

    I chose my program because I would be awarded an MSN and DNP once completed. I also chose it because it was accredited. Thinking back on it, the program was costly, but I feel that it was well worth it. I just wanted to be done with school, and not w...

14. How to get DOT certificate

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to xiaobear007's topic in NP

    Where I work, the time allotted for the visit is 1 hr. It usually doesn't take me that long since most pts are healthy. With paperwork included, it takes me about 20-30 minutes to do a DOT physical. If the pt has issues going on, it an take longer to...

15. Working for the VA

    Dr.Naija_Glam replied to grammynp's topic in Advanced

    I agree with Jules A. I know that the VA doesn't offer the highest salaries around, but I do know ones salary offer depends on years of experience, certifications, etc. I'm not sure which VA you applied to, or your specialty, but 100k sounds good for...
