    Should I Leave?! Help!

    Corey Narry replied to sunflower28's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree but the fact that the ER docs know that there aren't any providers managing the patients on the floor and per your quote, their response ends with "...don't wake me up again" tells me that...

    Should I Leave?! Help!

    Corey Narry replied to sunflower28's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    #3 would be a deal-breaker for me. That is a clear example of patients being put at risk for harm by providers who are just plain lazy. I would hate to be part of an organization where something like...

    CRNA to ACNP or FNP repost

    Corey Narry replied to CVCRNA1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's interesting that your state NPA allows you as a CRNA to cross over to the NP role currently. You may be able to get by with the FNP since your hospital's credentialing body seems to have no...

    Acute pediatric np programs, quality education

    Corey Narry replied to pediicunurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There's really not a lot of acute care PNP programs in existence so even the online programs are based in established universities with enough resources to create quality didactic content. However,...

    Corey Narry posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just checking in to see how everyone is doing in the NP world amidst this COVID19 pandemic. We in Acute/Critical Care for sure are on high alert...mandated work hours if a surge happens. We've had...

    NP's how are you these days?

    Corey Narry replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That word has been thrown around here as well. As a Critical Care NP, I am obviously essential staff. However, we've had NP's working in other departments volunteer to be cross trained in our...

    That's frustrating. So where do you send them for testing if you have a suspicion? Do you send them to public health labs (through

    NP's how are you these days?

    Corey Narry replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Could they let those staff work in the hospital? Our census is down in some areas with elective surgeries being cancelled but some of the staff have been reassigned to other areas in need. For one,...

    Transferring NP license to California

    Corey Narry replied to kgrl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did the paper application but that was over 10 years ago. On the online application, does it let you submit without answering the CA RN and NP license

    NP's how are you these days?

    Corey Narry replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We're told we have a 2-week supply of PPE's as of a few days ago based on our usage. That's going to be challenging if replenishment doesn't come. Our census has gone down now that elective OR cases...

    Transferring NP license to California

    Corey Narry replied to kgrl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can apply for both RN and NP license together. You also need an NP Furnishing License (for prescribing) and that can also be sent together with the other two. Leave the space thats asks for a CA...

    Corey Narry replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP's how are you these days?

    Corey Narry replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, testing has been challenging even in acute care. It's getting better though and being ramped up at least. Our PUI cases fluctuate between 30-40 a day at first but is actually mellowing down a...

    Applying for a PMHNP license in California

    Corey Narry replied to PsychRN_CA's topic in Advanced Practice

    From my understanding, the Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse certification in California is a voluntary program. That tells me it's not a requirement for practice. To practice as a Nurse Practitioner in...

    Does one have an advantage coming from a “top” hospital?

    Corey Narry replied to wolfgangRN's topic in General Nursing

    He may be exaggerating with that salary figure at least for SoCal standards. For physicians, well known teaching hospitals pay less than private practice in general. The advantage is the academic...

    Forced to Relocate: California Nursing Job needed ASAP!

    Corey Narry replied to mibnurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you can't get in as a regular employee, 1 year of experience may be enough for a travel nursing assignment. California hospitals still use many travelers and this could be a way for you to get to...

    My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    Corey Narry replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just didn't see that in the CDC recommendations. The truth with this virus is there is no clear transmission route yet. Our hospital has admitted patients diagnosed with it. I have not taken care of...
