Can anyone recommend a good reference book to have in clinic for family medicine/primary care? I really need something good. Something that can give you good quick clinical guidance when needed? I do have Epocrates, but just like to have my hand...

Can someone advise on which one if choosing for this as a bigger reference book for in office. I will still get the smaller ones mentioned. I know they are similar, but which is preferred by you if you choose to respond. 1. FERRIS CLINICA...

Thank you for your feedback. I do appreciate it. Good to have! Will look into it for sure.

Wow! This looks like the type of book I am looking for. I like the organization. It kind of is similar to "Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment book" Have you personally used it or do you currently use it now? Good day! Oh do you think it...

I will check this out. I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

Medicare Wellness exams, is a thing now. Can anybody provide any helpful templates/links or give me any pointers on how to go about? Thank you

Question I have a question for TEXAS nurses. When working under a private doctor, even with your DEA what are some medications you will Not give? Also, what are some clinical things to clarify with a private doctor to avoid confusion in th...

I have a question for Texas nurses, ma’s, providers; because it’s become a concern. 1. Can medical assistants “draw up” vaccines in Texas ie: COVID 19 vaccines???? According to my research they are trained and checked off drawing and administ...

Question to my Nurse Practitioners in family medicine: I often have this question. How do I know when to send patient to endocrinologist vs gynecologist? I am always confused. I check thing such as: LH and FSH PROLACTIN ...

Sooo question, Your actively treating PCOS patients in your family medicine clinic and endocrine disorders? I don’t know, I think your being somewhat unrealistic in your comments. I am only asking for guidance and direction when it does come to ...

There are different reasons why we can and should send to specialist after we have done what we are comfortable doing. It is at our own digression depending “on the scenario”. the scenario was stated above. Thing such as Irregular mense...

Yes I do know why I did. Is there a problem with just wanting more clarity? I am asking a question for people who want to help. thank you Thanks for the information. Truly appreciated. Just wanted some clarity for direction when it ...

Yes! Always! Just want to see if someone can help me differentiate a little better. I know they can refuse; but for my own knowing of direction to take it helps to have a little mental picture of which direction for those particular labs. Sometimes t...

Hello nurses, This is for those who would like to help. I just want genuine people to answer. When receiving a urine dipstick results back in a family medicine clinical setting! What do I do about blood. For example Blood 3 ERY/Micro...

Good idea. Thanks for responding-I will def consider just doing urinalysis. What about Leukocyte of 75 and no symptoms. Or protein of 2+ ; when are you concerned about leukocytes and proteins?

Hello there Just a question. I am currently an FNP. I honestly had no interest in going for my DNP in the speed or with the stress level of my BSN / MSN. So basically I might do it, but it would be slowly and at my own pace. Now, considering I d...

Understood! So basically I should tell her to come back when her menses has completely cleared? I guess for me I panic sometimes when I see that and want to be more calm about it.

Can I also add an elevated Leukocytes , what level is to high on a urine dip that warrants a urinalysis? ie: Leukocyte of 75

I am not a bedside nurse. Advanced Practice Provider. Yes, makes sense in regards to recent menstrual. Thanks!

I like how you put this! and CONGRATS on your DNP and PHD! I do want to do it, I just don't want pressure like sensations. I don't mind starting a family first-like doing it slowly! Opening my businesses outside of healthcare ! I don't know if I...

Hello my colleagues I was just wondering if anybody had any information regarding “AANP” CEUS. I went the family medicine route. I am always seeing/finding CEUS that are for or approved by ANCC. My certificate is time for renewal and I just need gui...

WOW!! I do like how you put that. I think I feel some of your way to. As I said—sometimes I consider PHD in public health and things of that sort as well. Just me! I feel a mental pressure you get when people are running towards DNP—but I don’t usual...

Yes I want a terminal degree, but not for a title only. Before DNP got famous I did not think I would go for that. Maybe a PHD one day down the line. No, I have not seen to many say they are paying much more for it. Even in bigger institutions. Being...
