4. Question on prescribing controlled substances in California

   DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   The scripts are e-prescribed and I don't believe you can send them ahead of time like that. What I ended up doing was having patients email be directly asking for a refill for ADHD meds and I would give them an off month from coming into the office....

5. Question on prescribing controlled substances in California

   DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   If it is the same place....I worked there for 1 1/2 years when we had just one office....I have many stories. In regard to refill on schedule II....it was a practice policy that we must see monthly and not a state law.

6. Question on prescribing controlled substances in California

   DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   This sounds very familiar to me. . . like I have lived this very same practice. If you don't mind me asking...where do you work? I'm in Ohio now, but spent some time in outpatient psych in Sacramento.

7. FNP OR ADULT-GERONTOLOGY NP?

   If you want to do minute clinic, then you would need FNP. They see kids 18months and older. If you want to do IM, then AGNP would be fine.

9. Pulmonary NP

   DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to BrooksC's topic in NP Students

   I would be sure to do pulm rotation. More then one would be good. Hopefully, mingle with the right pulm office and get a job offer.

10. Pulmonary NP

    You can do pulm without an acute care NP. You could have issue doing inpatient rounding only if the hospital has a restriction that inpatient NPs must be acute care trained.

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to indomie23's topic in NP Students

    When I worked outpatient psych I did med management only. The other PA and NP did the same. We had therapists (LMFT, LCSW, and LPC) and recommended to all patients to see one of them.

13. Managing Ancillary Staff

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Babyboss 19's topic in NP

    I would sit her down with the office manager and tell her directly that her ordering tests without your direct order to do so can be considered practicing medicine/nursing without a license and this ends now.

14. New FNP Questions

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to drbeckrn's topic in NP

    Wow...PA looking in from outside perspective, but how can someone become an NP without a clue about any of this? Yes, some states are confusing when applying for a license, but to become an NP without any knowledge you must still maintain your RN lic...

15. Is being an FNP worth it?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Shelly7913's topic in NP Students

    Most providers don't graduate feeling competent practicing. Competence is developed after time in practice. Have you done any clinicals yet?
