  2. NP owned practice business plan project for grad school - Medicare question

    imanubee replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  3. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    imanubee replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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...

  4. Who needs to be seen first?

    imanubee replied to Superlost1984's topic in General Nursing

    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,...

    imanubee replied to Lucky0220's topic in Texas Nursing

    imanubee replied to fathertod's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. Anyone know how many HESI Exit exam versions there are??

    imanubee replied to nursingstudentbp's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I've always heard that there are four. Its funny you say that about V3, b/c I heard that V2 was harder than 3, and that V3 was comparable to V1. But who really knows.....its all subjective in a...

  10. Free Healthcare Clinic Experiences

    imanubee replied to CareerThree's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  13. Where can I learn to start an IV?

    imanubee replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  14. A question for RN's and RN students.

    imanubee replied to craigm's topic in General Nursing

    imanubee replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks Stacy! Its really trying these days. This is day 10 without power---I feel almost like Laura Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie reading by candlelight. Our school is still without power...

    imanubee replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yup, I'm completely freaking out about it!!! I'm in my 3rd semester of NS and we've missed our second quiz, and the first two exams. On top of that, we've missed 3 of our 5 clinical days so far. Of...

  24. Starting therapy--need opinions about past drug use

    imanubee replied to imanubee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks Bedpan! On the one hand I just feel like being open to discussing the past, but on the other hand, the thought of being penalized for the past is worrisome. So I'll just keep my mouth shut...
