2. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

   DrCOVID replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   It has to do with scope of practice, do you have any idea what ADHD, bipolar, or Schizophrenia look like? TBH even after school, it took me about a year in practice to see it present clinically, as...

3. Advice on thriving as a PCP in FQHCs

   DrCOVID replied to jensfbay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Having done my doctoral capstone at a FQHC, I am really sad to say that is not changing any time soon. I had to present my project to a board of NPs, MDs, and the CFO for approval - they had to put me...

4. Request for speech-to-text/transcription software recommendation?

   DrCOVID replied to Joying's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   This is a great idea - in theory - but that is about it. I just don't think it is practical to do in practice. I am currently using advancedMD and it is beautiful chart notes prepopulate from previous...

   Want to manage their own medicine? I recently had someone on Xanax that wants to adjust her dose and get an early refill. She just messaged me directly asking for a week early refill because of "the...

6. Realistic group/provider split?

   DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Psychiatric

   I am often involved in collecting and expected to somehow evaluate insurance issues, when I am just not really trained on that... but learning more as I go bc it is a problem sometimes. Opening a...

7. Realistic group/provider split?

   DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Psychiatric

   Thank you for the breakdown - but yes, it is a large group with like probably 100+ more therapists/NPs ... I often do my own scheduling (while I am talking to my client)... so new intakes are all that...

8. Realistic group/provider split?

   DrCOVID posted a topic in Psychiatric

   So my initial contract was 30% to the group as a 1099. This seems a bit excessive - I still have to pay tax, and do most of my own admin work as it can't be delegated such as take calls, emails, PAs,...

9. The state of APRN education

   DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   The DNP programs are at least 1000, mine was 1200. I feel like this was barely enough. We were lucky to even find a good psychiatrist to precept us. Another huge problem is blind leading the blind. My...

10. The state of APRN education

    DrCOVID posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is nothing novel here per say... just wanted to vent I guess. I just started this year and all I can say is no wonder NPs get a bad rap. I have had several patients come to me and tell me the...

    I did some digging and calling - these huge national companies should be shut down along with all the "online only" for profit easy 2 year NP

13. Legally, Can I mix RN/NP roles?

    DrCOVID replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Legally? Sure of course. You are always an RN if you are an NP. Can't be an NP without RN. RN license is TIED to NP license. But uhh... practically? What the hell... why would you wanna split the...

14. Neuropsych testing

    DrCOVID posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hey NPs, has anyone trained to do neuropsych testing? Seems that you need a degree to do this... like a PhD in neuroscience/neuropsychology. Does the APA publish guidance?...

15. NP Schedule

    DrCOVID replied to KYNurse123's topic in Advanced Practice

    Kinda depends on the setting. I have a colleague that does inpatient under a psychiatrist in a hospital, she does on 7 days, and then it decreases from there until she has a week off. She recently...
