Hi pinkort-- I work at a different partner hospital that also has a partnership agreement w/ UTA. I applied in early October, had transcripts sent, etc and my "app status" still shows as "application...
If an NP were to open a clinic, would she be able to bill Medicare directly for services rendered if there weren't a physician on staff? Yes you can bill directly without a doc on staff. Would it be...
The Pearsonvue trick worked for me too. When I tried re-registering, it did not let me get to the payment page, but rather gave me a pop-up message. I still had my doubts up until I actually saw my...

I just graduated too. The only other use of Mg++ (besides hypomag and pre-eclampsia) that I recall is for Vtach--Torsades de Pointe. Being in NCLEX mode, I too would have gone w/ the morphine answer,...

It is theoretically possible to offer "free" services, but in reality, something that is very difficult to accomplish. I have worked in agencies that have provided charity care to some patients, but...
Hi CareerThree, What you are describing is a "Community Health Center". Healthcare centers such as these offer services at typical costs as well as a "sliding fee scale" for those who qualify based on...

Audrey, I understand your concerns completely. I'm 36 yrs old and have been with my partner for 11 years and counting. People do regard our orientation as "sexual" unfortunately. I knew my...
Probably not too much help with actual practice starting one, but if you go to youtube and search for IV, there are several how-to videos. I'm in my last semester of NS and doing a critical care...
I think a lot depends on what you ultimately plan to do and your life circumstances. I returned to school at 34 to complete pre-reqs and was accepted into an ADN program shortly after. I will graduate...
