You're not giving us enough clinical information. Is the person still actively bleeding while you're transfusing the blood? Hemolysis? Cold aggultinin antibodies? There are any number of reasons it...
Sorry: I meant we need better training and this dovetails w #3. We need much better training bc depending on the NPs I meet I am embarrassed to be one sometimes. . And if NPs are going to continue to...
I'm running into this in a search for a new job in a new area. I'm an NP in a specialty in which I'd like to consider myself experienced. Where I work now, there are NPs and a few PAs. At any rate, a...

Absolutely not. Any potential employer who is worth it will understand that this isn't a good fit and wont look down on you for leaving. You shouldn't be expected to stay in a role that doesn't allow...
Oh- I see now. No, of course not! I rarely even give my direct office number to patients and their family members b/c I'm rarely in my office- people can call the clinic and page me. The MDs, NPs, and...
