  1. PAs Do Not Like Us

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No idea. Nursing did itself a professional disservice in alienating other healthcare disciplines and pushing this mantra of "nursing practice." For years, I've failed to identify what exactly it is...

  2. VA nursing

    InquisitiveAPN replied to RNerica12's topic in Government, Military

    I'm a new APN with the VA. From what I gather thus far they're very leadership driven. By emphasizing your leadership skills and desire to work in an environment of change and enrichment you might...

  3. Clinical Educator with an MPH?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The only interactions I've had with nurse educators were in renewing _ _ LS classes, giving new hire orientation, and in-service on new supplies. I don't think a theoretical "why patients come to the...

  4. Considering a change, will this make finding an ACNP job more difficult?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to RNDarling's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm watching Paw Patrol so I didn't read everything. Let me state, I'm watching Paw Patrol with my kiddo. Lots of nurses take jobs that make school feasible. I only worked as a RN during grad school...

  5. MA rant

    InquisitiveAPN replied to orangepink's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worked at an organization that hired an administrative assistant to help out the receptionist, lol. Gutless office manager couldn't fire people. The place eventually went out of business, lol. I'm...

  6. Don't trust my FNP

    InquisitiveAPN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just get a second opinion. My wife saw an allergist for years and never got better. Saw a second allergist, added some labs, and the right diagnosis was finally made. Wasn't just allergies, lol. I...

  7. Research help-Clinical adjunct Faculty

    InquisitiveAPN replied to RNpathoteacher's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think your survey isn't tailored well. I'm a faculty member part-time. I have another full-time job. While I like getting paid by the university, I took the position to reinvigorate my clinic...

  8. Anyone gotten a non-nursing masters?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Rebelution's topic in Nursing Career

    Are you interested in a master's to leverage a new career? If so, why limit it to something compatible with nursing? Interested in a OTD or DPT? Maybe a PA instead. Anything cyber is big right now....

  9. Dangerous Patients

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Purple_Clover's topic in Psychiatric

    Kids without mental illness are unpredictable because they're not inhibited and often without remorse. Throwing psychopathology into the mix creates too many variables. I'm not a fan of verbal...

  10. Psych medication resources

    InquisitiveAPN replied to CommunityOB's topic in Psychiatric

    It's not so much a matter of XYZ drug for ABC disorder. Zyprexa is relatively cheap and generally does a good job of shutting people down in an inpatient environment be it psychosis, mania,...

  11. Having difficulty determining my next step

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Advanced Practice

    You come off as

  12. Having difficulty determining my next step

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Advanced Practice

    Inpatient work is a dungeon. Much worse,

  13. Having difficulty determining my next step

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Advanced Practice

    You can find jobs that fund malpractice, licensing, and CEUs. I don't see any of that as a problem. I don't let patients leave my presence until I'm finished documenting. Why? Because by 10:00, I...

  14. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    InquisitiveAPN replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Psychiatry.

  15. MSN vs MBA

    InquisitiveAPN replied to cablefree's topic in Nurse Management

    Since you ask about the MPH, what's the consensus among MHA grads about MPH trained

  16. MSN vs MBA

    InquisitiveAPN replied to cablefree's topic in Nurse Management

    May I ask what your job is now and where you see your career going from

  17. Psych medication resources

    InquisitiveAPN replied to CommunityOB's topic in Psychiatric

    Are you looking for handouts for the clients or education? If the latter, get Stahl's books. His prescriber's guide lists approved and off label uses, augmentation strategies, etc. The essentials...

  18. preparing for management roles

    InquisitiveAPN replied to remotefuse's topic in Nurse Management

    Tips: Don't argue these. Do it. My hobby, as it were, used to be personal development and enrichment. Read A LOT of leadership books and development books. Dial up Tim Ferris and study his stuff....

  19. Triage Nurses: what are your favorite phrases to document?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to nerdgrl's topic in Emergency

    "She been spittin' up collards all evenin.'" "I done had this since______." "I think I got somethin' in my butt." "I'm outta Klonopin." "I know you're not 'sposed to, but I took my friend's medicine."...

  20. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    InquisitiveAPN replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Considered it myself! Mostly the "cybersecurity" side as well as computer

  21. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    InquisitiveAPN replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As my fluffy childhood friend would thoughtfully say removing a grape sucker from his mouth, "Welp, I dohno." Well, I don't know. It's a multifactorial probelm shared by lawyers and pharmacists. Too...

  22. LLC?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Both my account, and a friend who's a trust and estate (i.e. tax) attorney feel like the value of a LLC isn't great. You're still liable for any malpractice and almost anything but very specific,...

  23. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    InquisitiveAPN replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree. Doctors are cordial. Dentists are too. CRNAs, and very few NPs, party with docs. Going to a meet up with nurses, and most NPs, is like going to a meeting with a bunch of fun-averse nuns or...

  24. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    InquisitiveAPN replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was walking my dog one night and having had coincidental converations with three different CRNAs I'd never met before for various social and client reasons began wondering about becoming a CRNA as a...

  25. Having difficulty determining my next step

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just become the NP. If you don't like the clinical stuff you can ways quit that and go support bedside nurses somehow. It doesnt - and shouldn't - take a special credential for that. Plus you can go...
