  1. To top it off - I didn't get paid!!!

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

    Huge, fat, ugly fines for employers. Call your state board of labor relations. Remember, you are not practicing in Myanmar--stand up for

  2. Can anyone recommend a few good DNP or PhD programs?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jeepgirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No, not really. I was checking into them about 4 years ago and found this site. Needless to say, I went to St. Elsewhere. Could be a deal where grassroots meets critical mass--that is the when the...

  3. Can anyone recommend a few good DNP or PhD programs?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jeepgirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's a name I haven't heard in a while:

  4. Certification Frustration

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to worm9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very nice. A customer-oriented for profit (probably under the guise of a NFP) organization that knows how to care for those who pay their

  5. Anyone at Indiana State's distance FNP program?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Lifar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Actually, I do:D. I own a vocational college with programs that all require some form of clinical experience. Procuring agency contracts and preceptors for all my students remains as the largest...

  6. Anyone at Indiana State's distance FNP program?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Lifar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No worries. When it comes to internships with a preceptor, make sure you remember that often you are your best, and sometimes only advocate. With this in mind, you can formulate a list of your...

  7. Dumb question--What do you NPs do?

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

    Perhaps in other states but none of the above may be performed by medical assistants in California. Why? Two main restrictions. First, many of the above require assessments prior to the procedure...

  8. Anyone at Indiana State's distance FNP program?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Lifar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Tons of politics involved, not to mention personalities--i.e. clinical faculty at ISU, preceptor in your home community and the necessary requirements thereof, agency where your preceptor works,...

  9. Anyone at Indiana State's distance FNP program?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Lifar's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I strongly recommend having a primary and backup preceptor. You can't be too cautious. For Spring term, I would start right about now. Depending on the organization structure it could take days to...

  10. ACNP online programs

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

    Good. Cheap. Quick. http://health.usi.edu/acadprog/nursing/grad/acnp.php I finish the FNP track in May and would highly

  11. Dumb question--What do you NPs do?

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

    Please let me know if MA's (presumably medical assistants) may perform these functions, which are listed as procedures for FNP's, to name just a few: Abcess incision and drainage Local, digital...

  12. Dumb question--What do you NPs do?

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

    Could you explain

  13. University of Phoenix?

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

    I never went to UOP, but I've heard both good and bad. Here are some of the not so good stuff. I'll keep searching for the good stuff, though, because I know I came across before:...

  14. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm optimistic and I think with some effective communication and leadership, the GBON will come to their senses and recognize the wisdom behind focusing on competency and outcome versus the process...

  15. FNP Admission Privileges

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

    That's such a great point and underpins the very function of furnishing as really prescribing. Although NP's can "furnish" non schedules with just a furnishing certificate by the BRN, for scheduled...

  16. FNP Admission Privileges

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

    I'm unaware of any other profession within California, or any other state for that matter, who prescribes, yet the function is not called so--that is demeaned to a subcategory of the same function by...

  17. FNP Admission Privileges

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

    I totally agree. Some on this board have argued and dismissed the functions in the form of practice differences between medicine and advance practice nursing as nothing more than semantics....

  18. FNP Admission Privileges

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

    Unfortunately, no--California Statute and Regulation does not provide that NP's may "prescribe." I have read, however, many authority position articles and paper that indicate that NP's have...

  19. FNP Admission Privileges

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

    DCA, California Board of Registered Nursing; "The Certified Nurse Practitioner" Form NPR-B-23 (12/04) provides: "Legal Authority for Practice The NP does not have an additional scope of practice...

  20. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Just curious, for those who are EC students and live in GA, have you talked with your local state senator or congress people about how the situation is decreasing their constituents access to health...

  21. ISU or Excelsior? Pros and Cons ... ?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yikes. That will keep you busy. Remember 450 has a ton of reading and a bunch of assignments including a health project, teaching assignment, clinical journals, book report, epidemiology assignment,...

  22. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    That's such a great point. Nursing is different than that of the paramedic field, but I get a sense that experience gained in the BLS/ALS realm is discounted. When I took the CPNE back in 94, there...

  23. ISU or Excelsior? Pros and Cons ... ?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No worries. Kim's number is 888.293.4842. Tell her you were referred by a friend from Folsom State Prison (inside joke). She is such a wonderful person and ultimately the reason why I chose ISU...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Thanks for the link, that was great--disappointing but

  25. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Yikes! So, with Virginia, that makes three states that won't accept EC grads-CA/GA/VA. I wonder if other BON's are headed in that
