  1. NP's answering to Nursing Management?

    Jules A replied to ohiosam2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My experience is similar. I have admitting privileges with my own patient load and outpatient I also see my patients without any collaboration required. No other provider interacts with my patients....

  2. Nurse practitioner vs Medicine turf war?

    Jules A replied to Infofreak411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well said and I also advocate for using your nursing connections with physicians when looking for NP opportunities. And as always don't take the aforementioned $50 an hour especially as a NP who went...

  3. NP's answering to Nursing Management?

    Jules A replied to ohiosam2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh so its that familiar slippery slope. YeahhhhhNO. Not even cracking the door to something that will have me doing duties my physician colleagues aren't. Good for you and your peers for recognizing...

  4. NP's answering to Nursing Management?

    Jules A replied to ohiosam2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Admin, Maybe consider merging this into the same thread in the NP

  5. NP's answering to Nursing Management?

    Jules A replied to ohiosam2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the differentiation is whether NPs are considered nursing staff or medical staff. I won't work as nursing staff although there is only one hospital in this area who does it that way and they...

  6. Tampa ARNP-one yr post grad still no job!

    Jules A replied to Agriffin2's topic in Advanced Practice

    The pay would have to be amazing to get me to do my own secretary duties. It sounds like one of the "mommy friendly" gigs which I know are popular among nurses but that I personally feel marginalize...

  7. Tampa ARNP-one yr post grad still no job!

    Jules A replied to Agriffin2's topic in Advanced Practice

    Interesting. They could not pay me enough money. I would be inclined to question the judgement of providers who accept such conditions although I know that is colored by my own professional...

  8. Tampa ARNP-one yr post grad still no job!

    Jules A replied to Agriffin2's topic in Advanced Practice

    Please tell me you were being facetious and there truly are not NPs willing to do any of the above, well except maybe contacting

  9. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    In that case I should probably add 4 extra letters to my alphabet soup

  10. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm betting I can guess what your BS stands for and prolly not Bachelor of Science, lol but whats DAAL? Are you a spicy bean stew?

  11. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree 100% that nursing is a great profession despite all the nitwits and foolishness. Bummed to surmise however that I probably shouldn't be proudly wearing the turd I got stamped: Jules A, LPN,...

  12. Shame on you ANCC : Psych CNS: Don't precept Psych NP's

    Jules A replied to dmarie82's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    You paid $160,000 to become a CNS? Or even a NP, really that is

  13. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm sure you aren't the only one but do you really think those classes are worth the time and money when there could be for example an additional pharmacology/prescribing, diagnostics etc courses...

  14. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Are you being serious or just looking to stir the pot again? I'm not going to call out any particular school and this is just my opinion which started with the annoying fluff classes in my BSN program...

  15. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Personally the available data I've seen has not satisfied me that NP outcomes are on par with physicians. In any event these studies were done when NP education required RN experience which I...

  16. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Correct. Why would I see a NP or PA vs a physician when I have the choice especially if the physician has been vetted by a trusted

  17. (Mental Health vs Adult Gero)-unable to decide

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

    I'm not in any way attempting to be snarky but keep in mind psychiatry and psychology are very different. In my experience psych providers who are very empathetic/sensitive can do a disservice to a...

  18. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are you paid to guest lecture? I was asked to lecture at a highbrow SON where apparently people clamour to get the name on their resume but they wanted me to do it for free. I was not impressed and...

  19. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Who called you out? They could suck it. I've had the same PCP for almost 8 years and he's young which I also prefer so hopefully he's not going anywhere soon and I'm probably only 20 years from...

  20. Need suggestions - Studying while driving

    Jules A replied to Rionoir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to read my notes into a recorder and listen to it in the car. It was like forced study time reading them outloud into the recorder which I suspect also hit more of the senses than just reading...

  21. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't utilize NPs for either myself or my family although I do know a few NPs and a few PAs who I think are excellent. That said I'm extremely picky about the MDs we see also and am thankful I'm in...

  22. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that for the routine patients in GP physicians might be considered overtrained however the concern for me with the brief NP education is not the 1,000 patients who present with uncomplicated...

  23. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are the rare "whole package" and although your formal NP education sounds thorough compared to most programs what sticks out to me the most is your extensive RN experience. Imvho that is likely...

  24. Challenging specialities

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

    I think doing psych well is challenging because so much of what we do isn't based on labs or concrete data. Unfortunately I also think doing it poorly is easy and it disgusts me that the admission...

  25. Is the job market for NPs good? NP vs CRNA job market

    Jules A replied to RNDude2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah some of the moves don't make sense to me as this clearly is an issue NPs or CRNAs would have more insight into than students,
