  1. Do not understand scheduling issue

    SoundofMusic posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    So, I've been at my practice a good 18 months and seem to be doing fine -- no comments or complaints from my boss or from patients out of the ordinary. A new doctor straight out of medical school...

  2. Do not understand scheduling issue

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    I actually do not have student loans to re-pay, but that whole premise is just ridiculous anyway. If I've earned the trust and repeat visits of my patients, then deserve to keep them. It's all just...

  3. Thoughts on doctors and management styles

    SoundofMusic posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    So, the doctor that owns our practice and has been there for 30 years, and is essentially "my boss" has a hard and fast rule for all staff that all issues regarding the practice must be addressed...

  4. Thoughts on doctors and management styles

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks for the responses. In regard to wanting my hand held .... I'm not sure that's entirely fair. As a person who has always worked in past corporate PR and also large hospital system eonvirnments,...

  5. Practice manager driving me bonkers.

    SoundofMusic posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Practice manager has her two grandkids come in to be seen, accompanied by their grandmother (who has authority to bring them in). Practice manager's son is the father, and he is divorced from the...

  6. Working in a small practice, and the employees are rude.

    SoundofMusic posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Have been working in a small mom and pop practice for about a year now -- no EMR -- all on paper. Doc is old school. Very busy and well loved practice with a large patient volume. I started there a...

  7. RN with public Reprimand Inspiration

    SoundofMusic replied to CCuser's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's 2018 and I'm still reading your post. You have no idea how much this has helped me to hang on through a board complaint made against me by a former employer. I was also recently reprimanded and...

  8. Recommendation for pharm ceu’s? Preparing to recertify

    SoundofMusic posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Any good and relatively inexpensive courses anyone could recommend? Or conferences? I've put this off and have until next July to get it done ....will pay more if it's worth

  9. Does your office require parental consent always for pt's under 18?

    SoundofMusic posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Just started in a primary care office in Maryland. Often, patients under 18 are coming in without parents, and without any sort of parental consent form on the charts. Coming from the Minute Clinic...

  10. How much did NP school prepare you?

    SoundofMusic replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Right -- I think that over time, as an NP you will catch up simply due to experience in practice, but it's very tough at

  11. Favorite part of being a Nurse Practitioner?

    SoundofMusic replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know -- everyday I wonder if I should just hang it up ...I'm just four years into it, spent 3 in retail, and now during my first year in true primary care, I get easily overwhelmed and am...

  12. NP thoughts on office managers?

    SoundofMusic replied to espress099's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh gosh -- I'm relatively new in the field, but still have not really seen one who seemed to have the ability to effectively really manage, and who just did not seem untrustworthy and smarmy. The one...

  13. How much did NP school prepare you?

    SoundofMusic replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will honestly say, I strongly feel not all that much. I did 700 clinic hours, whereas my doc went to med school for 3 years, then did 3 years of solid residency ....that's what you NEED. I wish...

  14. How to deal with obnoxious staff

    SoundofMusic posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Been working in primary care office for a while now and enjoying it -- for the most part. What's tough for me at times is working in close proximity with nurses with very foul mouths, loud voices, and...

  15. How to deal with obnoxious staff

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Oh I know .... I absolutely cannot and will not say much if anything at this point ... just trying to formulate a coping strategy for

  16. How to deal with obnoxious staff

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yep -- grates on me even more as I have to stand in a tiny room right right next to me While I chart .... í

  17. Reported to the BON

    SoundofMusic posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Hello: Wanted to post this, as a way to share my story, and help another practitioner avoid what I've gone through over the past few months. Many of you out there are probably too smart to land where...

  18. Reported to the BON

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    It is 100 percent true -- follow the guidelines to the letter and you're fine -- problem is, patients sometimes want the same type of care they receive at their PCP -- I would explain to them that you...

  19. Reported to the BON

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well, yes -- and I may add -- the board doesn't exist to protect nurses .... it exists to protect the general public! (From nurses and other healthcare professionals, and while some errors are more...

  20. Reported to the BON

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm sorry -- can't share beyond what I already have. Having worked now, however, in a more traditional primary care office, I can say that the same situation definitely would not have likely even...

  21. Reported to the BON

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks so much- it got me out of a bad job, that is for sure. I did get hired by a new employer and am doing

  22. Reported to the BON

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Very kind of you to say! I would never make the same mistake again, that I can tell

  23. Reported to the BON

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Very rough, isn't it? I can't even explain it .... it's just a total threat and assault on your personal self image, your professional and personal identity ..... a threat to your overall livelihood....

  24. Reported to the BON

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well, without sharing any personal details, I was notified of the report a full two months after the incident. This was shocking to me as Inthought perhaps they had just tossed it, but the wheels of...

  25. Reported to the BON

    SoundofMusic replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thank you -- that's incredibly nice of you to say. I really am grateful for the non-condemning attitudes here -- I wasn't sure what would happen if I shared what I could, but it's been so painful I...
