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

   Why would the PCP have a better overall view? We always update any changes with the patient (e.g. diagnoses and medication). I can easily argue that we can have better overall view because we...

5. I need to vent...politics of private practice

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

   Thanks for the response Juan. I totally understand what you are saying. I just felt that the PCP was more focused on his self interest than the patient. He wasn't mad that I made the referrals, but...

   So today, I was accused of "poaching" patients by a PCP. Here's some background information. I'm an ID NP and we were referred by this PCP for a pt that needed HIV care. I've been co-managing this...

8. FNPs in the Hospital?

   hubcaps replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   No you are not... at least right now. I am a FNP and I care for both inpatient and outpatient. If you want to do ED, FNP may be the way to go because you are trained in both peds and adults. Most...

10. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

    hubcaps replied to rnmindy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Going a back to the original question, I would say go for a PNP program. I get asked this question a lot from my friends because I was a PICU RN and I am now a FNP. If you have no interest in caring...

14. Going to take my AANP test, please advise

    hubcaps replied to CAFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with zenman. I wouldn't do any more practice exams/questions. If you haven't done so, look at why you may have gotten the questions wrong (e.g. weakness in certain areas, misread...
