    quality of work life balance

    It's hard to beat the 3-day work week. Most out-patient NPs work more standard hours, weekdays 3.5-5 days per week for full-time. The nice part is having weekends and holidays off. Hospitalist NPs,...

    Administering Tylenol to a friend

    But can you find a state's Good Sam law that protects an individual outside of a scene of an emergency? Because this either is 1. not the scene of an emergency or 2. not reasonable care if it were an...

    Administering Tylenol to a friend

    In order to invoke the law you'd need to prove you did think it was an emergency and in which case why did you just give them APAP and tell them to go home? If you refused to answer there would be no...

    Administering Tylenol to a friend

    I am not a legal expert, but, as I understand it the friend would not need to pay anything. All that is required is: damages, duty, breach, deviation. It could be argued that the nurse established...

    Administering Tylenol to a friend

    I would suspect the instructor was trying to make you think. Consider a similar scenario: Friend is at your house. He has an acute onset of an intense headache. He knows you are a nurse and asks you...

    Looking for advice from NPs

    I think it very much depends on where you are applying. I think all RN experience can be beneficial, as any other types of experience. For instance, if you work as an RN in plastic and get an ED job...

    Do you feel ill will from doctors?

    That's about how it normally plays out. I think the real tipping point isn't when they realize NPs provide quality care, rather it's when they realize NPs become a lucrative revenue stream for them....

    Do you feel ill will from doctors?

    There are some jerks out there, as there are in every field, especially when their field is being taken over by their "competition". Point 1: Respect is largely earned, especially in the medical...

    Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    It will be interesting to see what the 2015 salary survey data shows, as the 2014 data still shows salary growth. I am (for many reasons) worried about the "mill" programs churning out novice NPs that...
