  1. I'm getting a bit desperate, so I'm trying to see if by any chance anyone here has dealt with this: my RN and ARNP licenses expire 12/31/22 (they were expired and I reinstated them earlier this year). I'm being notified by the BON that I need to rene...
  2. Getting an additional NP certification

    Yes, I kind of wish I'd have done the FNP to begin with. I could do all jobs I'm doing now, plus more. I've been working in some family clinics, and mostly prisons, which I like a lot, but still it limits me in some ways. Still, the thought of now go...
  3. Getting an additional NP certification

    No, I don't see kids now, never have as an RN either, except for the brief mandatory pediatric clinical rotation. I now see mostly adults, but also teenager about 12 /13 years and up. The positions I'm curious about require seeing "the whole lifespan...
  4. Getting an additional NP certification

    I'm an Adult/Geriatric NP. I'm happy with my rule, but sometimes there are some positions I would be quite interested in (including some military positions, but others as well) that require FNP certification. I'm somewhat considering getting a post M...
  5. keeping up skills during prolonged time off

    Thanks, that would be a good idea, however, I didn't mention that I will be abroad much of the time between jobs. So working even occasionally will not be doable with what I'm planning.
  6. I'm a NP and recently started doing locums tenens work. I love the travel aspect and flexibility of it. I don't have a lot of financial needs, so I'm wanting to take between 1-3 months off once or twice a year between jobs to travel, visit family, an...
  7. I would love to hear from some correctional NPs who are willing to discuss their experiences (especially from UTMB/TDCJ). I'm not currently working in a correctional setting, but have been very interested in becoming a correctional NP for several ...
  8. visa screen renewal - documents

    Yes, I went ahead and renewed it in the meantime. Although it looked like I needed to submit all the same documents as for the original application, once I managed to talk to someone from CGFNS, I found out I really needed only a verification of my l...
  9. Okay to opt out of free lunches? (drug reps)

    Thank you for your insights, TraceyMarino. I don't think all drug reps are evil, and I have no problem being polite to them, or even briefly listening to what they have to say about their drug. Having to sit down to lunch and do small talk with them ...
  10. I'm a new NP in a small clinic. We get free lunch from drug reps several times per week. I would prefer not to partake in these lunches for several reasons: - I have ethical concerns about the free lunches from drug reps - The food is rarely anything...
  11. visa screen renewal - documents

    My visa screen certificate will expire in the end of June 2013. I recently started OPT as an NP, and my employer began the process of sponsoring me for a Green Card (currently waiting on the prevailing wage determination). According to my lawyer, I s...
  12. I think I disclosed a conviction I never had

    Thank you Meriwhen. Yes, in the meantime I pretty much accepted that I'll just have to keep disclosing it as a misdemeanor conviction if I decide to transfer my license to another state. Getting a lawyer involved to fix it all might be an option, but...
  13. NPI, DEA, DPS, Medicare - Texas

    I'm a newly graduated NP in the process of looking for my first NP job in Texas. Recently I was asked by a possible employer about NPI, DEA, DPS, and Medicare numbers, and I'm realized I'm confused about the process of getting these numbers. Can I ge...
  14. Okay, here is my weird/crazy story: I'm a foreign citizen, and when I first applied for my RN license in the US I disclosed a "misdemeanor" that took place abroad, and got a stipulated license for the first few months. Since then, I found out that th...
  15. Thanks, I have emailed them and was told they are waiting for approval from another department before they can process my application. I'm still not sure what exactly that means. So if I don't hear anything else soon, I'll give them a call.
