I was talking about in restrictive states though, where the agreement is required. So if that is the offending comment I certainly didn't intend for it to be. As I said, I was referring to the example that had been previously posted, which was reveal...
Juan, I'm very confused as to why you just responded to me in such a hostile manner. In the previous comment, you stated you weren't sure "how it came up" and I was giving you my viewpoint. I don't know if you misunderstood my comment or what, but I ...
My guess is that in this state, a practice agreement must be drawn up between the NP and their supervising physician (aka: more restrictive state). For normal prescriptions involving patients of the clinic, the NP can write the prescriptions without ...
This reprimand is not for prescribing to family...its for prescribing without physician authorization to a family member. In a independent practice state this would not occur.

I took Orgo, Micro, A+P, labs, and a foreign language in the same semester, all at a top 20 ranked private school. It wasn't fun, but I did it without much trouble. As long as you set your mind to it, you can do anything.
I would also like to add that I don't blame you for hating hospital work. Hospital RNs are simply not treated well - long horrible hours, bad pay, administration that will treat you as the scapegoat for any issue as long as it protects their precious...
RN and NP is very different. Many of the top NP schools (Columbia, for example) have direct entry programs where you get a BSN and MSN in one. Being an experienced RN will certainly help as an NP, as you will have a huge source of previous knowledge...
