   werlp replied to Katya000's topic in NP

   I wish I had some advice for you. New NP here, but I just wanted to agree with you. I wish we would have been taught more about documentation and coding. Hope someone has some good advice for you (us).

2. Should I mention this to my coworkers?

   werlp replied to nyc2011's topic in NP Students

   I can relate a little to your situations. I did tell my boss because I needed her to be flexible with my scheduling, especially when clinical hours started. But I didn't really want everyone in the floor knowing, mostly because I didn't want them to...

   werlp posted a topic in NP Students

   I want to practice my assessment skills for NP school, so I was looking into buying an otoscope/ophthalmoscope set. Since I am sure many offices already have them, I am not looking to spend a fortune. What is a decent brand to look for? Thanks!

   I believe legally they can terminate you as family medical leave does not start until you have been there a year. I think it is unlikely though if you are gone only 2 weeks. Or would probably take them longer to train your replacement. Hope you feel...

    werlp replied to shanika1m1's topic in Pennsylvania

    I think this is a great idea and I never even thought of it. Thanks for pointing it out to all of us. There is no use on holding on to the review books, once you pass the test!
