    Nurse in room for hemorrhoid checks?

    anh06005 replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh the crazies! Is it the other way around also? I'm a female and have had a male patient complain of hemorrhoids. I didn't even think about needing a second person in the room because, again, it was...

    Nurse in room for hemorrhoid checks?

    anh06005 replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No pelvics by the dentist though the GYN's might get more business if they have laughing gas. The dentist in question was accused of touching a young female patient inappropriately. He got arrested...

    Nurse in room for hemorrhoid checks?

    anh06005 replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well if those stories interest you look around for a story about a dentist in Arkansas right now! I did home health before I graduated and became NP so I'm used to doing things with nobody down the...

    Nurse in room for hemorrhoid checks?

    anh06005 replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just hadn't really thought about it honestly. I never asked for a chaperone to insert a suppository as an RN so I guess I equated it as pretty equal. Nice to

    THE question -- NP or PA

    anh06005 replied to reflective11's topic in General Nursing

    The end result is so similar unless you are drawn to one path over the other for some dramatic reason it boils down to the factors you've already discussed: time and

    Do you as an FNP see newborns?

    anh06005 replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks for the info! I have seen the new guidelines and try to reason with patients and parents on waiting things out..... With some success + patient

    Canned from the pill mill...I mean, pain clinic. Starting my own clinic, need advice!

    anh06005 replied to mountainaireNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I started my first job about 5 weeks ago and I still don't think all of my numbers have come through. I'm seeing people only because private insurance will pay retroactively from what I understand....

    I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    I don't doubt professionalism in most in person disagreements but sometimes I get in this site just got some good ole entertainment. Kudos to you

    I guess NPs only treat colds and flu.

    anh06005 replied to ChellyFutureNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Does this doctor have a nurse practitioner in his office now? I think some Doctors really just misunderstand what we can do because they have never worked with us rather than them just being jerks...

    Curious: meds in other countries

    anh06005 posted a topic in General World

    Knew someone who came back from France. Wound up having issues and got an ER visit and CT for like $300 or so. They also mentioned that you can't get Tylenol and such OTC there. When I asked what...

    anh06005 replied to steffyh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll comment just so I can follow what anybody else says. I've only been out a few months now but I have always wondered what I'd do after I graduated and started working. I've considered acute care...

    Nursing Student Close to Graduating

    anh06005 replied to tp1159's topic in General Students

    I think all new grads feel like they know nothing. I did. Take practice NCLEX questions and my guess is you'll remember more than you realize. If not then look at the questions you miss and spend some...

    anh06005 replied to holistic1028's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    I thought the foam should at least fill the wound (or maybe be a little higher than skin level). It's what I did so when the suction is applied and sucked down the foam always touched all areas of the...

    Med Error

    anh06005 replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in General Nursing

    So was there an error? Or are you freaking out because you don't know what you gave? Technically I guess you would be right about needing to know what you were giving but you may be over thinking it....

    anh06005 replied to ChellyFutureNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Everyone is a new grad at some point so I wish some employers would remember that. But, also, some employers are looking for someone who can jump right in and care for people (this would NOT be a new...

    Question for those of you who precept NP students

    anh06005 replied to doctorwhofan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Definitely discuss issues with the actual clinical instructor. As a home health RN we sometimes took pharmacy students (3rd-4th year) so they could do patient education and see what the patients can...

    Finding the right school based on passing rates?

    anh06005 replied to Palamino2019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check pass rates and also how many start the program each year vs how many of those graduate. A school may have a pass rate of 98% but if they start with 120 students and only 50 of those...

    FNP salary?? Productivity stipend?

    anh06005 replied to ked022214's topic in General Nursing

    I would want to compare the cost of living in each area before you start feeling sorry for lowly 80k a year. As a RN I made 45-50k. Where I'm at I can get a nice 3 bedroom 2 bath house for 120k-ish....

    Make sure to also try smaller community hospitals. The ones in my area don't specify BSN. They just want you to have the RN license. They hire new grads constantly and I graduated with my BSN on a...
