Is anyone currently going here? I am interested in their program.

we see sports physicals all the time that are never seen again and have no doctor, they are not full on preventative visits, most of these kids only see the doctor when they are sick because the majority of them are healthy and the only visits they ...

I have had people ask me if they could see the doctor but most often they are an older generation who are used to seeing "the doctor". I also worked in a small ER and then I would tell them Im the only one there, so its their choice if they want ...

What about something like aggrenox. Its not optimal but either is your situation. I have seen high risk patients like yours not placed on coumadin because of many of the same reasons and we just did the best we could and documented the risks both ...

I worked in a small rural ER and was the only coverage overnight into the next day and was treated like any other provider that worked there. I was able to sleep if able in a call room and there was even an apt attached to the hospital I could have ...

So I want to get my DNP but it seems like the schools already want you to know a specific project that you want to do before you even apply. It seems like saying that you want to get the DNP "because its there" is not good enough. I dont have a spe...

thanks

Ive never even heard of these

Remember you are a student and are there to learn you are not expected to know everythiing already. Put the book knowledge together with patient presentations and it will stick.

I worked for one for 2 years which was affiliated with a hospital system. We had no protocols to follow but we stick to a lower scope of practice due to the setting. The visits are at least 1/2 the price of the urgent care and I have been there mys...

I did the same thing started as paramedic then adn excelsior and adn-msn at graceland 7 years ago. I would go there again. I think you get what you give out of any schooling no matter what the "name" is

I agree sounds like you are doing primary care visits and alot of those visits to take longer

Im confused? If you are working urgent care, like I do, those should be short focused visits? You should be seeing alot more patients than if you were doing primary care visits? Not sure why you would only see 2-3 an hour.

I drove to an interview once and they paid for mileage that I gave them. If you want that job then you just have to fill out the application for it to be a HRSA location then they will designate how many providers there can be reimbursed then you ca...

What makes a good lab coat? Lots of pockets!

We didnt have any required tools. I would also encourage you to spend your money on a good stethoscope. I bought a few student lab coats and had a PDA. I wouldnt spend any money on item that clinics already have when you go to clinicals such as ot...

39 have been np for 6 years

that makes sense

Is it an accredited program? It looks good to me and its not 2-3 years long.

Theres a book called 10 minute diagnosis which gives you lists of differentials for differnent sx and exams

I work retail clinic that is affillated with a hospital. I had already been an np for 4 years before I changed to retail and now work part time retail/ part time urgent care. I agree that being right out of school would not be my choice, because if...

2,000 bucks a year and 5 days cme paid off

Our physician group which includes midlevels and physicians had our bonuses taken away last year and pay/comp model raises delayed a year. Finally got raises but still no bonuses this year either. Also had layoffs throught hospital system, so no co...

I lived in Arizona for 4 years and worked family practice and had admitting privleges at the local hospital. I also worked in the ER. You need to fill out privleges forms usually for each area of the hospital you want to work in as the forms design...
