  1. Rural Midlevel Abuse

    ERNP replied to cgfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What were you eating before. You can make 75K at the bedside in the terribly paying Southeast. So at these pitiful low rates for NPs you can at least eat and pay the mortgage as well as you ever have...

  2. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    ERNP replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I intend to use

  3. Rural Midlevel Abuse

    ERNP replied to cgfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BS!!! There are jobs out there and if all of you (PAs included) would walk off laughing from those conversations, the salary will go up. Why, no supply increases demand. More demand equal more money....

  4. Insults to the midlevel professions

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

    While we are at it.... let's just allow this supervisory role for a couple of years out of school... then let's cut the poor doctors loose and show 'em what we

  5. Insults to the midlevel professions

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

    dunno. i guess he feels that's all a mid-level is good for. he certainly doesn't want them practicing independently. he's had this np student for a few months, and she's the one he's planning on...

  6. what to know @ scene of accident

    ERNP replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    If there is anyone at the scene (meaning the last 6 cars that have stopped and are clogging up the works) I keep driving. I have no tools to do much that would be useful anyway. I don't carry around...

  7. NPs in EM?

    ERNP replied to jls485's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think FNP is the better ER option. If I was an ACNP I would go for the FNP as a second. As an FNP working in ER, I am thinking of getting ACNP for potential move into a hospital service kind of...

  8. What's the proper way to address an NP?

    ERNP replied to PurrRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I use my first name. Introduce myself like this... "Hi I'm (first name), the nurse practitioner. What can I do for you today?" Then we move on, the cell phone rings, they answer and say that they...

  9. NPs in EM?

    ERNP replied to jls485's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It has been quite a while.... whew!! I work ER... FNP certified. What is expected is widely variable from place to place. I work a rural ER and am the double coverage. I am expected to be able to see...

  10. Management measuring handsanitizer and soap usage

    ERNP replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Well if they were waiting for me to use the alcohol foam hanging on the wall they would be waiting a long time. I hate that stuff. My hands are dry enough without continuously putting alcohol on them....

  11. How is this fair?

    ERNP replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes life just ain't fair. The

  12. Help I'm mobbed

    ERNP replied to Sonn's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure what would be happening in an environment where one was being mobbed. I know just about everyone has been picked on before for something insignificant. Sometimes, it turns into a pattern...

  13. Consents When Under The Influence

    ERNP replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    If they are able to understand the procedure and have had an opportunity to have all their questions answered by the surgeon (that is the part that I get hung up on) then they can sign for themselves....

  14. Completely online graduate programs for FNP's - Opinions?

    ERNP replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I attended an in person program and still had to find my own preceptors. The ER docs I worked with were more than willing to help, but I had to find office placement for 8 hours each week and it...

  15. What is a Credentialing Specialist?

    ERNP replied to mharrah's topic in General Nursing

    I love and could not live without the credentialing specialist that works with me. I don't know what they would do at an insurance company, but if I had to keep up with all my own stuff.... I don't...

  16. NP's are okay to see if you have a cold, BUT...

    ERNP replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Drives me nuts

  17. NP's are okay to see if you have a cold, BUT...

    ERNP replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was talking about nurses and nursing faculty too. I won't move on to the general populace until we can come up with a semblance of a collective thought. Besides, my interactions with the public...

  18. NP's are okay to see if you have a cold, BUT...

    ERNP replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh come on... I know you know the drill. They see NPs and all kinds of healthcare providers for colds looking an instant fix for the ailment. They are never happy to find out there is "no magic...

  19. NP's are okay to see if you have a cold, BUT...

    ERNP replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll say... would you have a knee jerk suspicion of measles in a 50 year old woman?? I sent her home telling her I was having a hard time getting my head around it, but that was the thing it looked...

  20. NP pay

    ERNP replied to Floridanurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One of the reasons employment with the state was unattractive. I have great benefits too, but don't want to top out at that wage or start so

  21. strictly business/non-caring LPN

    ERNP replied to TTAmoneypit's topic in General Nursing

    You mean you have never offered just to give someone that 50 cents so they will quit looking for the coupon or just said, "Look just keep the 37 cents, I have to go." ??? To the OP, I agree. RN,...

  22. strictly business/non-caring LPN

    ERNP replied to TTAmoneypit's topic in General Nursing

    Right, in the OR it wouldn't be the patients driving you nuts. Worse, it is the prima donna surgeons (in my experience anyway). And THAT is a problem that will NEVER be solved in your favor. I will...

  23. working your way through NP school

    ERNP replied to np_wannabe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Trauma, I am like you... I never spent 3-4 hours per credit studying for anything. And being the highly competitive beast I am, I did want to get as close to the 4.0 as possible. Only made it to 3.96....

  24. strictly business/non-caring LPN

    ERNP replied to TTAmoneypit's topic in General Nursing

    Oh... and when it comes down to it, no one is doing any job for free. All jobs are about cash

  25. strictly business/non-caring LPN

    ERNP replied to TTAmoneypit's topic in General Nursing

    Corrections might be good. But I wouldn't cross the ER off the list entirely. It isn't so much about hiney puffing, although occasionally a hiney might require attention. There are whiners, some days...
