What is keeping you at this practice? You have a professional license and experience. You could be worth a LOT of money and resources and RESPECT to any number of healthcare facilities. An...

Forgive my formatting, the iPad doesn't play well with AN ... 1. Apply for NP license (4 weeks). <-- at this point you can practice if someone co-signs your scripts 2. Then furnishing (3-4...

I introduce myself as a nurse practitioner ... My MAs introduce me as la enfermera ... And my patients all call me 'doctora.' :rolleyes:

I believe you are in private practice, BlueDevil? That is probably the biggest difference between us here. I could just as easily send a patient to the moon as order saliva testing or compounding. ...

Practice environment and policy is a big part of it. I'm working off a limited formulary so I couldn't Rx ADD meds even if I wanted to. Benzos and narcs have to be purchased out-of-pocket at an...

I find it typically ends up being abused/sold in the same ways Soma is. Also not available in my current formulary ! The biggest factor in all my rule-making is my population. Even though I'm...

Absolutely!

Likewise. Everybody has insomnia, everyone is anxious, everyone and their dog wants ativan or klonopin. What on earth became of people like this before modern medicine ?!

I have LOTS of personal rules when it comes to prescribing. Absolutely will not Rx: any narc stronger than norco (and rarely even that) benzo's of any kind soma lyrica ambien ritalin or...

Thread jack: I, too, HATE this attitude. Nurses are afraid of a standardized test but not of becoming responsible for life-saving patient care decisions. What?! Lookit. The GRE is just about the...

I'm a primary care NP in a community clinic. I see the same 25 patients/day as my MD colleagues. We occasionally trade patients amongst ourselves according to favorite sub-specialties but otherwise...

Your scepticism sounds well-founded. Even if you DID write a letter as the patient is requesting, do you have any documentation that supports such a claim? Do you have any documentation at all...

Gotta stick up for BlueDevil here. Like she said, it's really not about shaming the OP. I think her example of how any potential employer would view a narcotic conviction is pretty realistic.

Will PM you.

Well I consider it the height of unprofessionalism to post false information about vaccination and public health, but that doesn't seem to have slowed YOU down, OP....

From what I saw with classmates, FNP, ANP, and psych had the easiest time finding jobs. PNPs and WHNPs struggled a bit more but were eventually employed. But you should be choosing a specialty based...

Personally have seen a good job market for a range of specialties. Graduated from a direct entry program and had a job 2 months prior to graduation, across the country, in one of the worst job...

FNPstudent15, there are tons of direct-entry NP programs. For the OP, I suggest you look here - http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Education-Resources/APLIST.PDF - they list both accelerated BSN and...

I paid about that much for school, and have had comfortable jobs with which to pay off loans since then; I wouldn't discourage you from the expensive school just because it's expensive. But I would...

reebok, As an NP student I rotated on a hospitalist service at a large hospital. I say that I hated the role because it was very narrow and repetitive and I found waiting for a large team of docs...

I am an adult NP. My experience has been that only FNPs or PAs are hired in ERs and urgent care centers, since those settings typically only want providers who can see whatever comes through the...

Why would it only be 1 year abroad? His plans sound pretty long-term and permanent. Are you sure you two are on the same trajectory here?

I'm sure this was terrifying the first time it was asked without warning. But the next time this happens it is the PERFECT opportunity to sell yourself. Coming from LTC: - you are independent,...

The first is a scam. The AANP has a notice up that they are NOT associated with this company, even though it continues to use their logo (see The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certication...

Agree with most of this. I know of some outright discrimination against for-profit graduates (kaplan, UoP) at more selective practices on the east coast. i also get the general impression that...
