  1. reading EKGs- an advanced privilege?

    NPmimzy75 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all, I'm looking for some feedback about different facilities and specifically EKG reading by NPs. I am having trouble finding anything concrete that states that this specific skill is within our...

  2. reading EKGs- an advanced privilege?

    NPmimzy75 replied to NPmimzy75's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for all the comments! I agree that it is mostly a billing issue. In practice, I am seeing the patient in the ER for the cardiologist (who is likely in the cath lab) assessing the patient...

  3. How does your specialty clinic operate?

    NPmimzy75 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all, I'm planning on working with my office manager to help restructure how our clinic is running. I'd love some examples of models that work well to take to our group meeting. We are a growing...

  4. what am I worth? negotiating...

    NPmimzy75 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I'm 2 years into my first job and I'm worried that I'm being taken advantage of. How do I know what I am worth, financially? I feel like I should be getting paid more. Background: I am an ACNP...

  5. Presenting to the attending physician

    NPmimzy75 replied to kathrn99's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had the same problem, I was worried that something might be important but I just couldn't see that yet, so wouldn't want to leave anything out! I didn't know yet, what was important and what wasn't....

  6. working without a contract?

    NPmimzy75 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm wondering how common it is to have an NP job without a formal contract? Myself and another NP were hired by the same organization, by the same person, with the same package offered at about the...

  7. How to sign my name and credential?

    NPmimzy75 replied to labbio's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    zenman, I can't find anything on the NM BON website that tells me how I must sign my name. I'm having prescription pads made up for me and not sure if I should use CNP or ACNP-BC. I thought the latter...

  8. ANCC to retire most popular, and eventually all, NP roles.

    NPmimzy75 replied to RPF,PhD,NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think someone hinted at this in their post, but why not just alter the test to include more geriatric questions, thus proving our competency. I know my program included geriatric material, does this...

  9. All the other stuff (ANCC test)

    NPmimzy75 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Any clues on how to study for the billing and coding section listed in the content outline. I get the levels of exam (focused vs comprehensive) but what about the section on Health Care Policy- health...

  10. All the other stuff (ANCC test)

    NPmimzy75 replied to NPmimzy75's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well I passed!!!!! I think over half of the test was on "therapeutic communication". I had no idea how I was doing the entire time, it was very nerve racking. I could narrow those questions down to 2...

  11. Adult NP or FNP?? Any Opinions??

    NPmimzy75 replied to Gville RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So I read over this consenus model during a break in studying for my soon to be retired certification (ACNP) and the way I see it is that I'm OK as long as I don't ever let my certification lapse? It...

  12. When should I start applying for NP jobs?

    NPmimzy75 replied to osunavynurse91's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, prepare yourself now for a wait financially and mentally! I graduated in August and won't test until December. My job will start "hopefully" beginning of January. The earliest I could have was...

  13. Taking NP boards...

    NPmimzy75 replied to jadeadellelindberg's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just graduated this summer and towards the end my instructors were telling us that they were adding certain amounts of geriatric information to the existing curriculum to meet the new requirements....

  14. AACN ACNP exam

    NPmimzy75 replied to ICURN73's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is my understanding that the AACN cert is not accepted everywhere (VA, IHS facilities...) so I haven't heard much about it. I'll email you

  15. AACN ACNP exam

    NPmimzy75 replied to ICURN73's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm signed up for ANCC, any idea why you think you might have failed? What did you find to be challenging about the test? I shouldn't even be on here reading these kinds of

  16. AANP Certfication Exam ( I failed it)

    NPmimzy75 replied to ERandAestheticFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I saw that ANCC has a $25 general test taking strategies online course, maybe there is something like that that would be helpful too. (Anyone take this from ANCC and find it

  17. Antibiotic help, please!

    NPmimzy75 replied to lvICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, I feel like my ACNP program was very lacking in antibiotic education! That chart idea is very helpful and thanks for the app suggestions. I get so lost trying to figure out my sanford

  18. Fitzgerald online Acute care review??????

    NPmimzy75 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Has anyone use this? How about any of her other "online seminars"? I'm wondering about the handouts and question bank that is supposed to come with this. I'm not sure about spending over $300 for...

  19. Fitzgerald online Acute care review??????

    NPmimzy75 replied to NPmimzy75's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the heads up Juan, good to know. I just feel like the only way I know how to study for an exam like this is by doing practice questions to uncover what I don't know. I don't live near any...

  20. Physical Assessment Exams

    NPmimzy75 replied to LaxNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We just had to have a partner and perform a full physical exam on them in front of the instructor. Head to toe then write up our findings. We had a handout describing the exam to study and I practiced...

  21. ACNPs what did you use to study for boards?

    NPmimzy75 replied to NPmimzy75's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Looks like Miller is still doing the ACNP stuff for Fitgerald. I may order the CD's or try the online review- as long as I can have some kind of hard copy of the review to refer back to, I guess you...

  22. ACNPs what did you use to study for boards?

    NPmimzy75 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Graduation is in sight and I have to think about studying for my certification. I've found a lot of info here on FNP exam materials, but little on the ACNP exam (ancc). I've already done the Sally...

  23. NP but decided not to practice

    NPmimzy75 replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    traumaRUs, how were you able to work before being credentialed? Did you get a graduate license? I'm wondering what I'm going to do inbetween the time of passing boards and waiting to be fully...

    NPmimzy75 replied to NPmimzy75's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
