  1. Well, there goes our bonus!

    According to CMS, next year, providers (all forms) will be compensated depending on "satisfaction scores" that include everything from how quickly their phone call took to be answered to how smoothly did the check-out process go and EVERYTHING in bet...
  2. Collaborative Physician Issues

    Guess maybe I'm being obtuse...but what do you mean by credentialing? Insurance? Hospital? Nursing Homes?
  3. TPN help

    Can someone explain why this is still in the Student Nurse Practitioner area?
  4. Taking call, do NPs get paid call pay?

    Jules...we get between 250 and 300 depending on the number of calls. We don't have to go onsite. Most of our nursing homes allow us to do a 3 days phone order on narcs. Very few calls come from the patients which is why we started the calls, but n...
  5. Taking call, do NPs get paid call pay?

    We implemented rotating weekend call recently among the "mid-levels" and we get a call coverage payment.
  6. I hate group assignments

    Let your instructor know what you have tried and who has not contributed. This happened to me, and the ones who got the work done got the grade, the others received an incomplete and thus removed from the program.
  7. We Are Not Paying You

    There are quite a few "concierge" practices that take cash only. Many solo practices are going this route as dealing with insurance is costing them more money than they are collecting. You almost need 1 staff person to deal with insurance only in y...
  8. Fox News calls CNA a nurse

    This happens ALL the time! Seems ANYONE who cares for patients are "nurses". Maybe some truth to "fake news". The problem is the headlines are MUCH more "grabbing" if it says "nurse" rather than "aide or assistant", or in this case "20-year old wo...
  9. Doctors vs NP's?

    Just because someone is able to complete NP school and then pass boards does not make them independent thinkers. I have found many NPs that are VERY confident in their patient care and then I have known many who unfortunately for our profession...ar...
  10. FNP Specialty Hour Requirements

    My clinical rotations were a minimum of 180 hours!
  11. Informatics nurse needed for an interview ASAP!

    I am confused. If you are a nurse...why not talk to your nurse informatics person in IT? Unless your facility is not documenting electronically, you should have one.
  12. English As A Second Language

    Classes can help, but are often expensive. When I was young, I was "forced" to learn English at a fast pace in order to avoid getting into fights that I did not provoke other than they could not "understand" me. To combat this, my parents encourage...
  13. EBP Topic Ideas

    I have to agree...what is your understanding of Evidence Based Practice. I am sure there must have been SOMETHING covered in your class about this otherwise you would not have this assignment.
  14. Can't destress. Don't know what to do!

    What have you TRIED to "destress"?
  15. Successful as a nurse

    Have you been often criticized in the past for performance issues...outside of nursing. Were you, or did you feel, that you were not competent prior to becoming a nurse? If, as you state, you do fine when you are alone, then there are some other de...
