  1. NP Practice EMR

    Thank you so much! after meeting with about 8 EMRs, I have chosen to use Kareo. It's decetnly affordable at 165 a month, and I am excited to see how it goes. I signed a 1 year contract so fingers crossed I love it!
  2. NP Practice EMR

    Just kidding, I looked more into it, and it does look affordable so I thank you for the tip! Not sure why my old practice told me that was the reason. I appreciate the tip!
  3. NP Practice EMR

    Thank you! Can I pick your brain a bit? I am self pay so do not really need the billing aspect, and the two big things I need are telehealth capabilites (I am a telemed business) and escribe because that's just so much easier. How would you say they...
  4. NP Practice EMR

    Yes, I used athena while I was employed in a private, very successful practice. They had to change due to cost issues, it is 7% gross income which could be hundreds and eventually thousands a month. Thank you though!
  5. NP Practice EMR

    Hello, I am in the process of getting my own practice up and running and the thing I am having the most trouble with is finding a reasonably priced EMR. I do telemed and need that capability as well as I need escribe capabilities. It's a very sm...
  6. Is the PACU floor a good start for a new RN grad?

    It'll be a rough start. You need to know how to respond in a critical care situation, without getting a lot of experience in it because it rarely happens. That being said its not easy to start anywhere. Ask a ton of questions, always admit to needing...
  7. Preceptors Needed for FNP Program

    I was almost done with my FNP where we had to find preceptors. Sadly my last two clinicals, after a year of looking, I could not find a preceptor for. Ended up dropping out and finding a program that found them for me. Dallas market was rough. Just f...
  8. This, in the grand scheme of things, is nothing at all. Learn from it, breathe, and move on. You say "so many things are going wrong" so I feel like this was more of a last straw. Evaluate what else is happening and make a plan. Nursing is the pits a...
  9. Visible tattoos appropriate for RN's?

    I feel like this has changed since I started my RN career in 2013 I worked in the ICU in IL and they made me cover them. My next job was in Chicago in 2014 and my colleges and boss thought they were lovely. Patients, especially older ones, seem to lo...
  10. MSN Dropout?

    So I took a year off, traveled (if anyone has ever wanted to travel nurse, I cannot recommend it enough) and I am happy to announce I am going back to finsh starting in January. It was exactly what I needed! I did trade programs, and will be finishin...
  11. MSN Dropout?

    Hello all! I have been an ICU nurse for about 3.5 years and am exactly half way done with my Masters for FNP. Thing is.... I don't know I want to be an FNP! Ha, bad time to realize this, eh? I'm the first to admit that I have a short attention span a...
  12. I'm afraid nursing might not be for me

    I just wanted to give in a little update. It did get so much better! Looking back its just lack of expierence. ANd the only way to do that is to keep at it until you are comfortable.
  13. New grad MICU

    Hey there BeautifulDisaster! I Graduated in December of 2012, started as a new grad in Level 1 Trauma MICU last February. Been there a year now. I second every work bmendi said. Also... if at all possible, take ACLS class as soon as humanly possible...
  14. I'm afraid nursing might not be for me

    I just wrote a long well thought out comment and it didnt post, now i'm all irritatted Thank you all for the responses. The short and sweet of what I wrote was when things go wrong I panic (vtach, pressures drop, cardiac arrest, stroke) and I don't ...
  15. I'm afraid nursing might not be for me

    I already moved from Chicago to a rural area for the job. I'll have to keep looking I guess. I may be moving to Seattle. I guess I'm just curious if its a new grad thing or if ICU is just too much.
