  1. I'm glad I have never rx'd xanax

    Jules A replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'd recommend doing some research if still prescribing benzodiazepines for

  2. DNR/DNI: What Age Would You Choose to No Longer Be Full Code?

    Jules A replied to LollaPaupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've had an advanced directive, used to be called living will, since my 20s and at 40yo I went to full DNR/DNI I'm in early 50s now and there is very little I'd even consider treating cancer wise etc....

  3. Is getting your DNP worth it?

    Jules A replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You seriously didn't just compare this to the Civil Rights movement did

  4. Why preceptors don't precept

    Jules A replied to sauce's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm wondering who she will precept as a AGNP working solely in psychiatry. Maybe it would be approved for a week or so of elective type clinical hours but I would be surprised if all schools don't...

  5. Misconceptions in NP/PA/MD education: experiential requirements, online, and for-profits

    Jules A replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Unfortunately you are probably correct but how sad and what a waste of nursing students'

  6. If you were in my shoes...

    Jules A replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My LPN to ADN was only 2 semesters plus a brief summer session so that should work within your time frame of being stationed in one location. Personally I don't think the choice of BSN is all that...

  7. If you were in my shoes...

    Jules A replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did LPN to ADN because it was cheap, quick and with a community college education I got a good clinical education unlike many of the BSN new grads I've encountered. I liked being able to work as a...

  8. If you were in my shoes...

    Jules A replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd get your BSN and see what life

    LCSWs and

  10. Therapy most used PMHNP

    Jules A replied to Malenurse12345's topic in Advanced Practice

    Interesting, I've never seen NPs willing to work as a social worker or facilities being willing to pay us to as such except the NPs who enjoy therapy and own their own practice. Its a waste of...

  11. Why preceptors don't precept

    Jules A replied to sauce's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While it is definitely a step in the right direction if you look closely the tax credit is not substantial at all: $1,000 per student. The NP hourly requirement also went to emergency session for an...

  12. Ask for a Raise and get another degree?

    Jules A replied to RnJillMda's topic in Advanced Practice

    Its common in my area for PCPs to have patients scheduled in 10 or 15 minute

  13. Why preceptors don't precept

    Jules A replied to sauce's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately being eligible for licensure holds little bearing with regard to skill set and preparation for practice. Many expect and need a prolonged orientation and I'm not talking an unusual...

  14. Ask for a Raise and get another degree?

    Jules A replied to RnJillMda's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree 100% and would have offered the same advice although it sounds as if the OP is struggling both to complete work and also requires quite a bit of hand holding? I am always prepared to walk if I...

  15. Therapy most used PMHNP

    Jules A replied to Malenurse12345's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks so much for your guidance! I wouldn't want to get kicked out of this group for answering in an inappropriate manner,

  16. Therapy most used PMHNP

    Jules A replied to Malenurse12345's topic in Advanced Practice

    Psych NPs don't do therapy unless they own their own practice. It doesn't pay. They do med management only not that you can't provide a few snippets here and there in your 20 minute med check but it...

  17. First interview for FNP

    Jules A replied to FNPEMT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And just because you don't "need" it doesn't mean the cost shouldn't be figured into your salary expectations. When I'm considering a job without benefits or 1099 the salary will need to be...

  18. Everyone is in NP school !

    Jules A replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hmmm what a curious first post from a new

  19. Everyone is in NP school !

    Jules A replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lol thanks we needed some humor up in here! I can contribute that although once again anecdotal, as many can imagine and my husband who's income I have evidence of, can verify I will eat food right...

  20. New NP Job Not What I Thought...

    Jules A replied to psych.nurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    Totally agree with MeirKat's sage advice. It sounds like a great job on the surface and since it is a new position there is likely to be some role confusion that needs to be discussed. Remember for...

  21. Everyone is in NP school !

    Jules A replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You truly don't know what you don't know. Its unfortunate and yet another example of why real world experience and book learning is often the best

  22. Everyone is in NP school !

    Jules A replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm well aware there is a difference and I know docs in private practice, inpatient, outpatient, boutique, VA and corrections. What I am telling you is the numbers you will see published are...

  23. Everyone is in NP school !

    Jules A replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That can not be an accurate figure and if its from a google search they are historically low. California psychiatrists in general do quite well especially due to the Kaiser presence there. I only know...

  24. Everyone is in NP school !

    Jules A replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can see why you might think that on the first point but it really is only maybe one person repeatedly referring to Hopkins, Yale, Columbia, U Penn, UCLA, UCSF, U of Maryland, etc. What I read from...

  25. 1099 employment question

    Jules A replied to NewbieFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But with traveling the transportation and lodging isn't a perk its a necessity and imo shouldn't be given one iota of consideration toward compensation. Its like NHSC facilities acting as if the...
