  1. DEA# and California Furnishing license for the ED

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Odd is a kind word for what we have here. I could be wrong, but I think California is the only state where NP's can't "prescribe" but we "furnish" or "make agents available". Kind of like what drug...

  2. DEA# and California Furnishing license for the ED

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not sure where you are getting your information but that is not correct. Whenever a NP orders a drug (in California) they do so under a standardized procedure and the function is furnishing. There...

  3. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Some of my DNP colleagues have physicians as their employee's. I would venture to say they all know exactly what a DNP

  4. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    no particular comment. just thought it should be posted

  5. Prescribing narcotics in the va system

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to retiredarmynp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are correct in stating that you are not a mid level provider as a NP. Mid level provider status as a NP directly infers two critical elements: (1) As NP's, we are not in the profession of nursing...

  6. Lab Coat NP Embroidery

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to FNPdude74's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you have basic sewing skills you can easily make an ipad holster with belt fasteners. I put a 12 ga wire in the opening seam so it always stays open and its easy to put back and

  7. Did you feel prepared for clinicals?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree, distance education is not for everyone. I'm curious, did you know this going into the program or did the program mislead you in someway that you would have access to lab

  8. Did you feel prepared for clinicals?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As a distance education FNP student, I was feeling pretty much the same way when I did my OB/GYN rotation. When I arrived, my preceptor said to just start seeing patients. Thankfully, she was kind...

  9. Cheap online MSN / FNP programs

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to RNbrent's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Univ. of Southern Indiana is pretty cheap. I graduated a few years ago and think I paid less than 15K for

  10. California NPs

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to apocatastasis's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually, there is much we can do. I'll give you a call tomorrow. Also, if any NP's or NP students are out there and are completely disgusted with the present medical technician status of NP's in...

  11. California NPs

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to apocatastasis's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    CANP just had a management change. I'm not too impressed. I'm the health chair for our local NAACP and we just passed a resolution calling for the removal of barriers to NP practice and for an...

  12. California NPs

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to apocatastasis's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow. A responsive BRN? It took California 12 weeks to issue my NP, 20 weeks for my RN (way back when) and 5 weeks for my furnishing. As far as California goes, it should rate a "D" or perhaps a...

  13. DNP in 2015? Forreal?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jiwonkim89's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The more I ponder this issue, the more i realize that I don't know one direct entry NP graduate working anywhere in my area. I wonder if this is the deal with new NP grads not being able to get a...

  14. DNP in 2015? Forreal?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jiwonkim89's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You know, I've had my head buried in books, patients, teaching and research over the last 8 years or so. I presumed that these entry program took people with BA's in other fields, got them to the RN...

  15. DNP in 2015? Forreal?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jiwonkim89's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That's really odd. Someone without basic skills experience going from no experience to an advanced level. For those medics out there, that's kind of like an EMT going to paramedic school without BLS...

  16. Any male NP's out there?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Who needs all that nursing crap in a nursing program? Someone might get the idea we're nurses or

  17. RNs being negative about NP school

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Welcome to allnurses. If there is one thing you can learn from this site, and learn well is that nurses have been, and will continue to be the most formidable adversary to nursing's advancement....

  18. Any male NP's out there?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It was tougher practicing pelvic exams on the men in the class. But then again, it must have been tough for them practicing the prostate checks on the females

  19. DNP in 2015? Forreal?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jiwonkim89's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm curious. When the MSN gives way to DNP across the land, will that mean that Masters Entry Level Programs will turn into DNP entry level programs? That is, will someone without a lick of actual...

  20. Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to chaxanmom's topic in Indiana State University

    Depending on the facility, they can all be done same place. Exception: N450 will not work if the facility is not a community-based agency. Also, preceptor has to have BSN (N450 BA/BS in nursing or...

  21. DNP in 2015? Forreal?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jiwonkim89's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So far, all seven national NP organizations have signed off on the DNP by 2015. I'm not sure, however, how this is going to play out as far as mandating the DNP. I suspect it will be a regulation by...

  22. What do your patients call you?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jcgrund's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I always introduce myself as “Dr. my last name, a nurse practitioner”. It’s important to separate between that of an earned practice-based degree and that of a role/profession. Most of the...

  23. Know of NP preceptors in Southern California

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to JayNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Contact CANP. Become a student member. Attend your local meetings.

  24. Reputation of online APN programs

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Vavavictoria's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not too long ago, distance education programs were held with the same contempt that now many hold for the DNP degree. These were mostly nurses who could not understand any mechanism other than...

  25. 2015 DNP

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Having a DNP does little, if anything, to aid in opening a practice. One thing (academic title) has nothing to do with the other thing (role and scope of practice). Regarding teaching, the DNP is...
