1. New York private practice - starting before PLLC is approved?

   Esnooopy posted a topic in Entrepreneurs

   Hi folks! I am working on getting my own business up and running to have a part time private practice as an FNP and lactation counselor. Apparently New York State takes the longest to get a PLLC approved - 4-6 months basically! I forgot to take this ...

2. Rec's for good online CMEs: primary care peds/adult

   Esnooopy posted a topic in NP

   Hi all! I will be switching some vacation days to conference days and am trying to figure out which online CMEs to do. I am in primary care at an FQHC. Some of what I'm considering: -Various Fitzgerald courses, including lab interpretation and seve...

3. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

   Esnooopy replied to EPS's topic in COVID

   I’m in NYC. I am no longer at bedside but I have been in touch with people at my old hospital. She said that there are basically ICU beds all over the hospital, and patient beds in the atrium where I used to eat lunch. She is an infectious disease do...

4. AANP test in Times Square?

   Esnooopy replied to Esnooopy's topic in NP Students

   For posterity, in case anyone comes looking to this post for answers, I'll update with "the real deal." They DID indeed have lockers. They had me show two ID's and held on to one of them. They had me empty out my "phone wallet," turn off my phone ...

5. AANP test in Times Square?

   Esnooopy posted a topic in NP Students

   Hi - maybe this is a long shot but I am looking for the real deal on this and maybe someone on here will have experience..... I am going to be taking my FNP AANP exam in the times square location this week. I see in the email it says that there will...

6. NP Fellowships? CHN, PM pediatrics, others?

   Esnooopy posted a topic in NP Students

   I am set to (finally!) finish my FNP Master's in May 2018 (kinehurah, knock wood, ptu ptu ptu, insert any other superstitious thing to say here). I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with doing an NP fellowship at PM pediatrics or Community He...

7. What do you eat for breakfast?

   Esnooopy replied to Ioreth's topic in General Students

   I start the day with one or two almond milk lattes. It's not food but it's somewhat filling and gives me the caffeine/hot drink I need to start the day. Bring stuff along to eat easily and quickly when you feel like you need more: bananas, cheese s...

8. Doing clinicals at CVS Minute clinic?

   Esnooopy replied to Esnooopy's topic in NP Students

   My school applied us all. I think CVS is under the impression that I myself applied, but I just did what my school told me to do. I think it is too late to get it for spring 2018, as they already sent out the acceptance emails. Here is their websi...

9. Doing clinicals at CVS Minute clinic?

   Esnooopy posted a topic in NP Students

   Hi all! I have been offered 150 hours of clinical at my local CVS minute clinic. The clinic is relatively new, and we do also have urgent care places as well as a hospital and various medical offices nearby, so I'm not sure how much action it gets......

11. Applied for new NYU FNP program may 2012?

    Esnooopy replied to Esnooopy's topic in NP Students

    Hi canuckRN2. Due to very unfortunate events in my family life, I had to take a leave of absence from school last spring, and I'm not sure when I will be going back. I loved the program while I was there, loved it. The first FNP cohort will be gra...

12. Do you ever correct people about medical stuff?

    Esnooopy replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    I always have pronounced de-breed, and have always heard it pronounced that way. But my father in law is a podiatrist, and he says it to rhyme with bride. Therefore my husband says it that way too. Although I suppose it must be an alternative pronunc...

13. Medication Mistake

    Esnooopy replied to buttercup_rn's topic in New Nurse

    A very minor mistake! No harm, no foul. While we're learning of course we aren't always going to do everything perfectly - that's the way it goes. As mistakes go this was pretty benign. And I once handed a nurse an IV bag I'd mixed, and I'd been a...

14. So confused about whether to continue in FNP or transfer to WHNP help me please!!!!!!

    Esnooopy replied to Jonesy37's topic in NP Students

    Well opportunities depend on what's going on where you are and, possibly/eventually, what you make for yourself. I wonder if you have enough hours of breastfeeding assistance in your previous employment to count towards becoming an IBCLC? If you work...

15. So confused about whether to continue in FNP or transfer to WHNP help me please!!!!!!

    Esnooopy replied to Jonesy37's topic in NP Students

    I don't disagree with the other commenters, but here's one devil's advocate point: as a FNP you can care for babies as well as their moms. Then if you also went for IBCLC (lactation consultant) you could do the primary care for both the mom and the...
