    Some of this may be selection bias: you click on posts with subjects that sound interesting and maybe those posts are more likely to be inflammatory in nature. Or it's

    Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    BostonFNP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I am not attempting to defend the writer of the letter, first and foremost. If we take for fact that 93:7 is the percentage of female:male nurses (using the AN salary data from 2017). The collective...

    Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    HRT and DEA licensing

    BostonFNP replied to APRNeuroatheart's topic in Advanced Practice

    Wait, the patients are walking out of the clinic with controlled substances in a bag with no script? You are not physically injecting them? I am not exactly sure what the legality of that is, but I...

    Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    BostonFNP replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Susie, why don't you share with everyone the outcomes studies that have examined quality of care of physicians vs NPs? Or explain to us the different legal standards of care between physicians and...

    By mid-70s I hope they can "escape the bedside"! Those transfers must be

    Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    BostonFNP replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    They go to graduate school and complete the same curriculum and clinical requirements as student NPs with prior nursing experience (and often they pause along the way to work as RNs while going to...

    Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    BostonFNP replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Low-skilled medicine? Please, enlighten us, what is the different legal standard that NPs have for the practice compared to physicians? What are the different quality of care measures? What is it...

    HRT and DEA licensing

    BostonFNP replied to APRNeuroatheart's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree with the other in saying you shouldn't take this job. That being said, if you are not writing the scripts just administering the medication you don't need a DEA license. Per the DEA: "A...

    Fellow ship (as in MD kind) good idea?

    BostonFNP replied to Tony1790's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worked on a project for establishing an NP residency at a local tertiary center (in which NPs would work directly alongside the medical residents). In the beginning I thought it was a great idea:...

    Why NP instead of MD, DO, or PA?

    BostonFNP replied to Loux's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Again this is a single state. There are 22 states in which NPs can practice with full independence. There is not a single state where PAs can. Q. Can a PA practice without a physician? No. The new...

    Why NP instead of MD, DO, or PA?

    BostonFNP replied to Loux's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    22 states have full independent practice for NPs. To my knowledge in MI as of 1/2017, NPs can practice independently if not prescribing scheduled substances. If working with a collaborating physician...

    Accidental Pill Pusher

    BostonFNP replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to take this out of order to address a few points from the perspective of a PCP/prescriber. The truth of the matter is that it is broken, at least in aggregate. Think about the numbers...

    New Grad NP - Job Offer I Accepted

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

    Nail them down on this because as it stands right now (in real world numbers) you would be in the room with patients from 830 until 1215-1230+ then from 1 until 5-530+ and that doesn't include...

    New Grad NP - Job Offer I Accepted

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

    Hopefully they will give you a nice long run in before 18+ per day; if they have a good track record of training novice NPs I am sure they know this. Where does the admin time come in to play? If you...

    What NP Specialty Should I Choose?

    BostonFNP replied to Bumex's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Based on what? A nurse in what setting, or any setting? Based on what? One experience with the size of insulin vials? First off, it is one experience. Second off, it might be the most...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    And as someone wanting to get out of the pseudoscience bit, what did you base this important decision on? Did "almost a year" of RN experience fill all these gaps in your knowledge base or did you...

    Board certified within X years

    BostonFNP replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are states where NPs can practice without national board certification. I hold a slip of paper that says "board certified" and credentials that are NP-C and FNP-BC with both the C's meaning...
