  3. How early to start preceptor search

    mmutk posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How early did those of you that did FNP preceptors begin your search? I'm a year out and feel like it is too early. I feel like people will forget they talked to me this early out. Was going to start...

  5. Shocked by MD attitude

    mmutk replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with TraumaRus, don't give too much info because that opens you up for criticism. Hey I saw that patient again today, she was jaundiced and complained of worsening belly pain. Her husband...

  6. FNP programs help find preceptors?

  7. Working in a small practice, and the employees are rude.

    mmutk replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

  12. Right med but suspended

    mmutk replied to CJ2121's topic in General Nursing

    Very odd discipline, but I like it! At my work you can just not give any of the meds EVER and no one cares. No one ever gets in trouble for anything. Shocking to hear of a facility that disciplines...

  13. FNP Oversaturation

    mmutk replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One good thing about being an AGACNP is your still an RN. I practice at a hospital where an NP works as an RN in the ICU because it pays so much right

  14. Writing doctors orders without an actual doctors order

    mmutk replied to Toadroad's topic in Critical Care

    This is common practice for the ICUs. When I was an ER nurse this was less common but still came up on occasion. It absolutely can bite you in the a$$ if you do something wrong. However, it is going...

  15. Ask a CRNA anything...

    mmutk replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    I think the above question depends on where you live. In my area we are hiring new grads in the ICU like they are the best thing since sliced bread. Also if you want to get into CRNA school in my...

  16. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    mmutk replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I understand what you are saying. However since I go to a school in alabama online and practice in Nashville, I don't really expect them to find preceptors for me up in

  17. Loss of all personal freedom.

    mmutk replied to Runnerlives's topic in General Nursing

    Surprised to hear this post from someone in the military. Sounds very political. If an employer doesn't want to hire you because you failed your drug test or you weigh 500lbs it's their choice. I...

  18. Acute in patient psych gowns vs street clothes

    mmutk replied to sister zyprexa's topic in Psychiatric

    All our psych patients wear hospital gowns. All our here against their wishes and patients without clothes don't tend to try to

  19. Confused on what to do

    mmutk replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    It often costs hospitals too much to 'go after' you for tuition reimbursement. They may send a letter or what not but don't expect to be in court for

  20. Unstable Admission

    mmutk replied to ptsfirst's topic in General Nursing

    Just call rapid response after they get to you... I work rapid response at my hospital and that happens all the time. Nurses don't like what landed in their bed and they call me to evaluate the...

  21. Pts refusing to weigh

    mmutk replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    We weigh our patients in their bed so they don't even know it. Some cardiac patients do require a 'standing weight'. Patients can refuse anything they want, I don't care. I don't force healthcare on...

    mmutk replied to Vlbowman's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I still have not received a letter. I live in Tn. However I am able to log in and it says I'm enrolled in the ACNP program. I also created a blazer ID and it has the holds everyone else has who got...

  23. How can I help educate floor nurses as a Hospitalist NP?

    mmutk replied to Bumashes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Our hospital has so many nurses with less than 1 year of experience that it hired a 'resource' nurse who has a phone in the hospital that any floor nurse can call to come help or for advice. Rapid...

  24. Do hospitals hire FNP-C?

    mmutk replied to Guest05/31/18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Our intensive care group here in Tennessee hires FNPs for their practice, although we see no kids. i think it is a combination of more FNPs than ACNPs out there and the vagueness of our scopes in the...

  25. Quit my job

    mmutk replied to Mcmtg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well if Medicare issues do come up at that practice now you can consider yourself thrown under the bus. I have no doubt they will use you as a scape goat if necessary because you just up and left...
