:angryfire Ok. I'm a LPN working on my BSN. I've been sick for little over a month with a cold. This past week I have been progressively worse. I work in a doctor's office and the PA said I need to get a script for a z-pack. This morning I went to one of those quick care places in the drug store. There was a FNP on duty. I told her my symptoms: headache, non productive cough, achy, runny and stuffy nose, low grade fever, and chest congestion. Without even seeing me she said take some OTC meds. I told her I needed antibiotics. She said who told you that. I told her a PA that I work with. She proceeded to tell me that I was not sick and that if the PA wants me to have meds then he could give them to me. But I can see you if you want, but I'm not giving you anything for it. I said ok thanks and walked out. I was never so outraged as I was today. It was just a disgrace to our profession. For a split second I thougt I don't want to become a NP anymore if I have to work with NP's like her. She just totally disregarded me. I ended up going to another clinic and saw a MD who gave me a z-pack, tessalan pills and advair( I have asthma) without me having to tell him what I needed. What are your thoughts about this?
