    any ideas of how to get a NP for clinicals?

    yellow finch replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yellow finch replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I also wondered the same thing the original poster queried. A good friend of mine recently went to a weight loss physician who told him that the goal was to lose as much weight as possible quickly....

    PhD - does it matter in which field?

    yellow finch posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Out of curiosity, aside from the new Doctorate of Nursing Practice, does it matter in which field your PhD is attained? I've seen some interesting programs and really haven't thought about what I'd...

    Cymbalta

    yellow finch replied to OB/GYN NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good question! I can answer this from a personal standpoint. My NP prescribed Cymbalta for me last year and it was amazing. It literally kicked in within 2 days and had a noticeable effect on my...

    yellow finch replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not in the BSN program (currently in the FNP program), but wanted to help you out a little in case nobody else responded. I live in GA, went through the school directly (didn't even know College...

    Now that the Spring semester is over and my school doesn't offer any required courses this summer all I can think about is, "What about a certificate program?" It's like I have to be in school all...

    What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    yellow finch replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here in GA the Georgia Medical Association fought tooth and nail to prevent NPs from earning prescriptive rights. We still won, but it's embarrassing. There are plenty of NP clinics that are managed...

    Do NP's work under MD's?

    yellow finch replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here in GA, NPs are still considered Physician Extenders just as PAs. Since we just got prescriptive rights it'll probably be a looooooong time before we're working

    Let's call Oprah

    yellow finch replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    Shift differential?

    yellow finch replied to career180's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my, shift diffs can become very complicated. Don't forget Baylor pay: you work an unpopular shift (say weekends) and get paid for 40 hours. A friend of mine does this and although she only spends...
