DaisyRN, ACNP

Hey all! I am applying for a new job and they want a case log... of procedures I have done over the last two years. I have not been keeping up with them... honestly, because I didn't think about it. But now, I wish I had! How do you guys think I sho...

many of you have been asking for preceptors lately and i have responded similarly to all of them... i'm not sure how conclusive this list is, but should you need a preceptor start here: http://www.npfinder.com this is a site offered by the america...

okay all, i successfully took the ancc's exam last wednesday and had a poster ask me a few questions about the acnp exam. i will repost their questions here and will try to answer any other questions you may have about the exam. also, some other acnp...

well, hello long lost allnurses.com friends. at my last post, i was very frustrated with my current job situation. i was working with a doctor that refused to do her documentation and was a huge liability for all of us. well, since that time, if you ...

well, the er hires pas, currently. i've known the er guys for a long time... i worked with them for 6 years and still have regular dealings with them. i talked to the director a while back and he said he'd consider hiring me, but he is fully staffed ...

Hey thanks Karen... I have actually done a doozy on my foot and I don't have a clue how I hurt it. I tried to make it over there today but no such luck. If foot is better tomorrow, I'll stop by.

hey all!!! I posted in other thread, nut thought id put here too! I'm here! Bet some of you are in the same room with me right now!!! Haha. I am flying solo this year. I would love some buddies for dinner or tourism. Any APNs here? Any APN going to t...

hey all!!! I'm here! I wonder how many of you are in the same room with me right now! :) I am flying solo at this conference (hubby had to stay home and watch "the kids") and would love some dinner or tourism buddies!!! Just email me thru here and I'...

the nurses that take verbal orders from me often write, "rbto daisy, np" and then when i come to round on that patient the next day, i will initial it. the doctor's do not have to be listed in the verbal order. everywhere my initials or name is has t...

hey all, i think i pay a ridiculous amount of overhead costs for our cardiology practice... i am expected to pay half a share (the mds are a whole share). i just don't see how i can even begin to compete with that. not that it's a competition, but ho...

hmm. well someone's lying to me. the upper admin even says, "she will never make money as long as she's in the hospital..." and to be honest, i would rather be in the hospital! i just dont know how to make it better... i talked to the billing pe...

well, most of them are level 2's. i guess i should clarify... the reimbursement problem stems from self-pay, no pay patients... plus the hospital write off, which i really don't understand all that much. but what the office writes off versus what the...

okay... so i got some answers. they tally my hospital charges and office charges... then calculate my reimbursement (which from the hospital is crap)... then add in "ancillary" profit which comes from echos, nuclear lab, and lab. from that, they w...

if you are able to cut back at all, or able to work an extra shift, or whatever to avoid student loans. do. it. i use to be one of these "you are investing in yourself" thinkers with regard for student loans. i am paying $800/month in student loans.....

i'm meeting with the cfo about what all the numbers mean and how they come up with the numbers on friday... i'll update everybody with more details about the whole situation then. thanks ya'll...

describe the # of years/ type of educational experience i graduated from an associate of science degree in nursing program in 2003 which took me 2 years to complete, rn-bachelor's of science in nursing program (online) in 2006 which took me 2 semest...

i posted this in a few other messages, but i copy/pasted here for you... i'm an adult (ages 12 and up) acute care np in cardiology. my days go like this: m-f 7:30a-10:30 (give or take) - supervision of stress testing at hospital m-f 11-wheneve...

hey all. i have been loving my job, but recently caught wind of the "bosses" wanting to pull me out of the hospital for lack of reimbursement (as compared to the clinic), and quite frankly... i don't want to be pulled out of the hospital. that is why...

well, those are good points. and the way the service here works, is cardiology is consulted inappropriately... most of the time. i guess i was thinking by me supervising that unit, i would minimize the inappropriate consults. hmm...

heya, i would suggest that you start putting a bug in people's ears now. as soon as i knew what the requirements were (setting, hour requirement, objectives, etc.), i went looking... my program required the first semester of clinicals to be outpatien...

that's a good point. and actually, adolescents were included in our health assessment course and we did learn tanner staging as well as headss, etc. i'm not saying that i would feel comfortable with it, but i was just curious if anyone knew of a spec...

i can't find it in the literature anywhere. i have the acnp scope and standards book and have looked through the bon website and npa. can't find it. and this isn't even the first time i've gone looking for it. i can't even find where it defines the a...

i actually think age 12 is the cut off for acnps, but there's no clear cut guidelines. because age 12 is the cut off for adult, isn't it? that is what a former anp preceptor told me. just curious.

hey there, i'm an acnp that did not have any icu experience and throughout my program, i regreted it. i had an er background which provides a more diverse experience than oncology and i still struggled at times. i would highly suggest that you get i...
