  1. What would you do if nursing staff refuses do carry out your request?

    djmatte replied to Saflanut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As stated, being up front about these situations and laying out responsibilities is important. I generally all politely things If my staff, but If I pick up a "not my job" vibe and it is then I will...

  2. FNP after PMHNP

    djmatte replied to SDStudent1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Taking the class for the benefit of knowledge is admirable, but a lot of work and expense that isn't well spent imo. If you have the opportunity to combine the two in your work then it might be worth...

  3. New DNP mandate

    djmatte replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The only thing people have to be concerned about is expected np oversaturation. Few employers if any are requiring dnp, no examination bodies have mandated it, and this organization doesn't accredit...

  4. Is Allnurses now controlled ?

    djmatte replied to Guest05/31/18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    He isn't an NP either. But with some of his comments and his own "mastery" of the English language, I'm beginning to seriously question the institutions that allows so many to enter NP

    Maybe this is more appropriate:

  6. Newly Certified NP

    djmatte replied to danea67's topic in Advanced Practice

    Finding a job is a good place to start. If you're feeling saucy, you could get your NPI and DEA numbers rolling in the meantime. Just a couple ones off the top of my

  7. Is Allnurses now controlled ?

    djmatte replied to Guest05/31/18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm finding it frightening the caliber of people they let into NP school these

  8. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    djmatte replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Probably because some have very strong assertions about what should and shouldn't happen in nursing. A school decides you clear their fnp program so that somehow suggests you can cut it in an acute...

  9. Newly licensed NP working as RN

    djmatte replied to GoodKick01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In many states, they are the same license. They will see it when they check

  10. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    djmatte replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There's a slight problem with your approach. ACNP schools typically require a minimum of acute care experience as an RN. Getting your fnp and even its lunge of work doesn't make you more qualified to...

  11. Good school that offers FNP programs online

    djmatte replied to ajr329's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I liked frontier nursing university. They did have a gpa and nursing experience requirement and there are 2-3 in person requirements, but imo any online school worth their salt will want to see in...

  12. New DNP mandate

    djmatte replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Exactly. DNP is a self-gratifying title at best and a point of confusion to the patient at worst. It too broadly encompasses multiple areas of nursing practice (Education DNPs for instance) and...

  13. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    djmatte replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ours was similar. We could only do 20 percent of our total clinicals in an emergency, with an md, or urgent care setting. And toy didn't want to run the risk of eating that should you need an md for...

  14. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    djmatte replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Urban myth until your state clamps down. You likely will be allowed to continue if the right circumstances present in their approach, but you are still operating outside of your scope and are a...

    djmatte replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Fixed that type o in

  16. New DNP mandate

    djmatte replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think there's value in evidence based courses and even in theory utilization. But the problem is they are approaching it backwards. Those are baccalaureate or maybe early masters level topics.......

  17. Doctor Hiring NP's

    djmatte replied to DO89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Verdict is still out. Patient outcomes have never been studied. Only ability to pass boards. There's always room for more research and neither sides opinions have been validated one way or

    djmatte replied to DeeNP2017's topic in Advanced Practice

    The only thing you have to fear is if you're doing something

  19. Doctor Hiring NP's

    djmatte replied to DO89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nobody ate anyone there. It's an important observation about the current limitations of np education and something anyone starting a business should consider. And please stop using that phrase....

  20. New nurse practitioner

    djmatte replied to ulvikap's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Note I specified nailing an interview. Nobody can help not even the getting to interview process which in this case you wouldn't even get through initial stages of hr. I take issue with the...

  21. New NP pay

    djmatte replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    100k out the gate in Michigan with 15 days pto and $1500/5 days off cme. They offered 10k lower and less leave

  22. New nurse practitioner

    djmatte replied to ulvikap's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Frontier you need to find your own preceptor. They have a database of preceptors who currently or have worked with the school in the past which can be helpful, but they aren't obligated to the...

  23. New nurse practitioner

    djmatte replied to ulvikap's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Some online schools (frontier being one) have a long history of producing solid graduates and advance practice nurses. To lump all online education into the same category as accelerated schools is...

  24. New nurse practitioner

    djmatte replied to ulvikap's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're joking right? While granted there had been one that hinted at a specific for profit school, suggesting that online schools have a lower chance in an environment where employers are being choosy...

  25. Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

    djmatte replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sometimes it's finding the thing that motivates them. I don't know how many males I've effectively weened off opiates when I pointed out the member of long term young opiate users who I've seen need...
