    CAM is Complementary and Alternative Medicine
  2. A Day In The Life Of A NP?

    Get to work at 0500 to read all labs and write notes based on those for the staff to get with the pt for yz and f/u. Read al of the notes from staf for me - med refills, referral request etc. Read all notes from referral providers. see 16 routine ...
  3. Why NP and not doctor?

    Timing. I wanted to go to med school, but I had to make choices that were best for everyone in the family and for my career. I still wish I'd gone MD, but life isn't always all about what I want.
  4. when is it ok to bring up....

    Yep - if the pay isn't right - why waste everyone's time? I'm too old to care about anything else. Work is work...and my time and skills generate RVUs.
  5. Need advice

    I think you should look back and remember why you became a FNP. I personally couldn't stand the 12 hour days 7 days a week in the ER and being on call 24/7 in the OR - voila - I work m-f in a 0730 to 1630 clinic. If you became a FNP to work 24/7, t...
  6. NP Changes that need to happen...

    Well, it's not very popular, but I fully believe that the biggest problem in nursing is that it's run by nurses. Using terms that MDs understand like "residency" would give automatic credibility. Getting rid of the 43 levels of "nursing" from CNA u...
  7. ACNP without research, theory, etc

    I pretty much spend my whole day thinking, "I wonder what Orem would do?" Then I wake up, realize I have a ton of pt's to see, Dx,Rx plan, etc - such much work - so little time for theory reflections and comparrison. Probably why I spend my day in ...
  8. Do you tell pts who get heparin that it comes from pigs???

    If full disclosure, 100% PC, and all source awareness is the goal, you better get the legal office to prepare a 500 page booklet. Recall that we use things like salmon sperm, urine, fungi, etc to make meds...
  9. Senior AFROTC Nursing Student with questions!

    Have an active duty cadre with a CAC log onto AMS. Go to officer assignments. Search by AFSC and O1 through O3. This will give you a list of the places that actually have the job for which you trained. If you put down bases that you like, but the...
  10. I'm Not Overthinking This, Am I?

    I'm very certain it's against the law to lie so a patient can commit fruad and sit at home (or at his real illegal under the table job)with his hand out. Maybe call the cops and turn them in? I work my butt off; I'd rather my tax dollar pay his pri...
  11. Help! Case log!

    We use an EMR that I can pull all of my coding off of for real numbers.
  12. Theoretical frameworks????

    I wish you nothing but the best. I think theory stuff is all done tongue-in-cheek, but it sure makes the PhD's feel necessary. I've had coworker MDs ask me if they could get a copy of an article I referenced, but I've never been asked about (becasu...
  13. New Grad. FNP: Need advice on CE

    I read Medscape while sitting at traffic lights. I feel very up to date since I read every day. Waiting all year for a big trip to a confernce and have to digest tons of input isn't a good fit for me. I get new info every day in small doses. Epoc...
  14. Would you do it over again?

    Apples and Oranges. It's very hard for a RN to understand what a NP does (impossible, IMO). Here's a good read: Doctor burnout: Nearly half of physicians report symptoms â€" USATODAY.com
  15. Where are all the online NP graduates?

    wish I could help, but I went to a school.
