About himilayaneyes

himilayaneyes specializes in Critical Care/Coronary Care Unit,.


I'm a native Floridian...not many of us (it seems). I have been a RN since 2008 and an family NP since 2014. I have worked in the critical care settings for years and now as a NP work in the primary/urgent care setting.

  1. First Year as NP

    Hi. I've been a licensed family nurse practitioner for 8 months now with about 7 months of practice. Before this, I had been working as an adult ICU nurse for about 6.5 years. I feel totally comfortable seeing adults but started a per-diem job where ...
  2. Should I start off in family practice?

    If you want family practice experience, then take the family practice job. This will be more desirable to the majority of employers vs. vein/weight loss clinic. As an employer at a family practice, if choosing between someone with family practice exp...
  3. I need encouragement/motivation

    Keep your eye on the prize...blah blah blah. Been there done that. Are you happy doing what you're currently doing if working? Anytime I got discouraged, I'd go to work and remember why I was in school.
  4. NCLEX RN four times PASSED

    Congrats!
  5. Medicare home assessments - supervising physician

    Your agency will provide you with the collaborating physician.
  6. Floating non-ICU RN's to ICU!!?

    I am an ICU nurse. When we receive float nurses, they receive the tele patients. Every once in a blue moon, they may receive a patient on some type of drip because we just don't have the manpower...but in that case, an ICU nurse will be responsible f...
  7. med-surg RN desperately wanting into ICU

    Get your ACLS, take a critical care course. Volunteer to float to ICU all the time. Harass the ICU manager until they hire you. Good luck.
  8. Suggestions on possible NP job offer

    I have to agree with the poster that said it sounds shady. I'm working for a home health company for which the pay rate is $80 per patient. Plus, I don't see how it's possible to see 300 of them every week. I would keep looking elsewhere....this does...
  9. I passed my AGPCNP certification exam!!!!

    Congrats!
  10. Texas Board of Nursing timeline for APRN license

    I would try emailing them. I got mine from FL in 7 business days. Good luck.
  11. FNP or AGNP

    Hi. I felt just like you at one point in time. I was primarily interested in adults and had no desire at all to work with children. However, I enjoyed my pediatric rotation so much that I did it twice and hope to land a job in pediatrics. If you don'...
  12. Passed ANCC!!!

    @ Jeremiah. If your school is purchasing the review for next year, then I would just wait until next year to take it. However, for academic purposes, the purple Fitzgerald book is very helpful. Hollier and Leik are great books as well.
  13. Passed ANCC!!!

    @ Jeremiah. Honestly, I didn't like the Fitzgerald review when I was sitting there for 3 days. I felt like they were just stating the information in the book. However, the review book that they give you for the live course was good. I used it to stud...
  14. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    I have to agree with Bezoars. I'll take care of my loved ones if something were to happen. (They all live locally). I'd totally understand if someone refused to care for them...it's scary. I don't feel comfortable enough to care for ebola patients. M...
  15. PNP contract wording??

    Since you'll be signing a legal document, wording is everything. They should either use a generic term like nurse practitioner or pediatric nurse practitioner. The state acknowledges you as a PNP not a FNP. You should share your concerns with the hir...
