  1. Time to step down from management?

    I love my job and made a natural transition into management from a staff nurse to lower level management (supervisor) to finally manager. The reason why I am going to be leaving (aside from the fact I have a new degree I want to put to use) is that w...
  2. Nurse Injector

    I'm here looking for corporate owned places that may be in ga other than American laser but you should try there on their site go to ABOUT and search careers they have some states hiring, not mine though.
  3. Obese patient with lymphedema to legs

    So the long story short is I have an obese pt who continues to insist she was told in home lymphedema therapy is available for her. I am home health nurse and we only do compression for wounds and then pt is offered long term option such as compressi...
  4. Stage 3 with undermining

    Hey guys, thanks for any help in advance... I am a home health nurse and while I was in orientation I was seeing a patient who is very pleasant and concerned about the wound. It has gotten to a certain point, like 4x2.5 and undermining and stopped he...
  5. Is the market becoming saturated with NPs??

    The Messiah? Be lucky you have a job. Getting paid peanuts in your scenario would take years, in the meantime be happy you have a CAREER that is lasting. Stop trying to find any excuse to get to the end result in your mind that was made up before an...
  6. University of Phoenix MSN-FNP Fall 2011

    Is it online or ground? Didnt mention online which leads me to believe it is ground. Not sure why when every other school has online classes and they were on the forefront of this....
  7. Ummm I don't get where these questions are from and what you need done...
  8. Just laid off!

    Well that sux. Im so afraid of this. At least you have credentials that can def. get you another job. Some people are losing jobs they got by luck years ago and with a layoff they are realizing they were too secure with no real educational backing. Y...
  9. Any preceptors??

    Well I am bumping this thread because I want feedback from others- who else had state limits on preceptors? What if you were mainly online? I had no idea there were contracts with BON regarding preceptors- I wonder what that entails.
  10. Any preceptors??

    I am confused by this too because some programs take nurses from all over the US online, but my online program is saying that students can only go so far for preceoptors because of BON contracts??? So how do other schools have students nationwide? I ...
  11. Make Advanced Practice Nurses Independent

    Theoretically I know NPs can make the difference. I have been treated by an NP and request that my preemie son see an NP at his peds office- she is great. My main concern has come my first semester at NP school which is online and basically I am bein...
  12. NP Programs Online

    So I know many NP programs offer distant learning now and I have decided to start one myself. I went to University of Phoenix for an MBA years ago and I just wanted to know if anyone could answer any part of this question. 1. In your online studies d...
  13. NP Programs Online

    So you liked UOP too? What type of MSN do you currently have? I am sitting here considering transferring from this school. While their BSN program seems to be more organized, perhaps they are not in tune with the needs of the online learner. I need ...
  14. Verifying Multiple State Licenses

    How many of your facilities do this? It can be costly using a third party company for accuracy. Or do you verify in your state only? CC
  15. Low GPA- Need Help!

    Students usually take classes to bring GPA up. Go to a GPA calculator and see how many classes you would have to take to bring it up. The other option is 'conditional acceptance' where you have like a year to bring GPA up.
  16. Any info on University of South Alabama

    I heard LSU is tough too. Being from Alabama I have always heard and sensed personally that attitude described earlier by USA which was my turnoff. I knew if they were so crazy with their demands during admission then they would definitely continue a...
  17. NP Programs Online

    Thanks, I was hoping to get some more feedback!
  18. New idea for NP/PA to MD

    I do not have the time nor the energy to argue the 'what if' all day. We stated our positions, moving on. I did not read past your first line when I saw the thesis you had written. Point is when the program comes along I will take it. Then you can pr...
  19. New idea for NP/PA to MD

    If you read the concept of the initial poster the topic was a bridge from MD to NP. Thanks!
  20. New idea for NP/PA to MD

    I'm sure it was 'doubtful' that nurses would ever have prescriptive authority but they now do. Chaos and conflict brings about change. Primary doctors are running low and the number of insured will greatly increase with the passage of the healthcare ...
  21. With what part don't you agree before I rant on everthing in that quote...
  22. New idea for NP/PA to MD

    I told my friend last year that these programs would be sprouting up in no time. Its the only natural progression that can come from NP's and esp since nurses make the best doctors. It sounds like you want to be involved in the dirty work of getting ...
  23. NP in a free clinic setting

    This is the second of my top two areas to work in. I notice, though, that most free clinics are ran by local medical schools. If you live where there is a medical school then chances are they have cornered that market. I am not sure how, perhaps they...
  24. Discouraged!

    Keep in mind that with the passage of the Affordable Care Act earlier this year nurse practitioners are considered a cornerstone to being able to give care to so many Americans that will be insured in coming years. It may seem slow now but hang in th...
  25. Question- Nursing license 'Active (Restricted)'

    It sounds like it might just be you being nosy and this may be none of your business, but in any even if you are THAT nosy you can request a public document of that person sent to you for around twenty bucks. Call the board.
