1. Parents wanting MD

   BeachFNP replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced

   Our scheduler is trained to explain to people who they will be seeing when they come for an appt. this is usually only an issue with new patients, because once they are seen they prefer to stay with the same provider. In my practice we have 4 provide...

2. New Staff Orientation

   BeachFNP replied to Bluem67's topic in General Nursing

   I would definitely bring up your concerns to the supervisor. She is probably going to need a much longer orientation then they thought. I used to orient all the time so I get the frustration. My main thing was to keep the supervisor informed with spe...

3. Parents wanting MD

   BeachFNP replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced

   I get this occasionally. Mostly it's a sideways glance and a "is the doctor coming in?" If it's his day here I just hand them over to him and he is totally fine with it. Most of the time they turn out to be VERY self absorbed anyway so I'm glad to be...

4. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

   BeachFNP replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not offended- I actually thought the same thing when I wrote it. Honestly- in all the codes I was involved in we never had to actually wait more than maybe 2-3 mins for a dr, np, or pa to show up. It was a relatively small hospital so there was a...

5. Who prescribes for themselves or family

   BeachFNP replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced

   This is an interesting discussion. I only rarely prescribe for family/ friends. And I mean rarely. I have done a controlled substance ONCE for a friend who was having intense anxiety issues- but- told her if she needed any more she would need to foll...

6. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

   BeachFNP replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

   And just to add... When I say "when I used my ACLS" I meant in a capacity as an RN. I'm currently an FNP but not in a hospital setting.

7. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

   BeachFNP replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

   When I responded I was simply letting OP know what part of that scenario would have bothered me personally. I have ACLS training myself and know what it's for. I was just saying that I would have felt slightly uncomfortable about doing that with no f...

8. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

   BeachFNP replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

   Personally I would be the most worried that I gave epi without an order, even with ACLS training. If they were carrying epi on a plane who would be the person trained in administering it?? I guess I don't understand how they would even be allowed t...

9. Adjunct Professor?

   BeachFNP replied to BeachFNP's topic in Educators

   That sounds like a really good idea. Thanks for this suggestion!!

10. Adjunct Professor?

    BeachFNP replied to BeachFNP's topic in Educators

    Thanks. That's helpful! I'm relatively young (28) but I don't plan on working this much at my current job in a few years. I'm thinking getting my foot in the door this way would be nice to pull in some side money when my son is older and I'm not work...

11. Adjunct Professor?

    BeachFNP replied to BeachFNP's topic in Educators

    It's all online. It's turned in through the schools online blackboard system- so yes, I'm thinking quite a bit of time on there, plus emailing and discussing things with students. I hadn't thought about the gas to get from site to site, so that will ...

12. New NP-Negotiating a Salary

    BeachFNP replied to PhillyFNP's topic in NP

    True- I hadn't really thought about that. None of the other NPs I work with work full time either (all by choice). So I never really equated what I make with a full time gig. I guess it makes sense that it would be around that much though for a speci...

13. Adjunct Professor?

    BeachFNP replied to BeachFNP's topic in Educators

    Thanks! I appreciate the response. I know for a fact I would not have any office hours or need to come up with teaching plans. Like I said, I'll be a clinical visitor. So I'm basically given a rubric to follow for grading of case studies and soap no...

    BeachFNP replied to PhillyFNP's topic in NP

    That's awesome! I wish I made that much. lol We are a 3 office practice in a pretty rural area. We are pretty much the only specialty like this in the area, however it's not exactly like patients are knocking down the door. We are exceptionally slow...
