  1. DEA nonsense

    DrCOVID posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry a little bit steaming right now with the DEA. I live in TX, got my DEA here, then transferred it to WA state since it is IP practice and I want to work there. I called the DEA and they said you...

  2. DEA nonsense

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

    Simply because the DEA requires

  3. DNP vs PhD

    DrCOVID replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's because any doctoral degree can teach (Optometrist, MD, PharmD, DPT, etc) or do research and a license to practice advanced nursing is separate from the

  4. PMHNP or MSW?

    DrCOVID replied to plf2323's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you have the ability to do a PMHNP, this would always trump the MSW. You can do all therapy as a PMHNP if that is what your heart desires, though of course most do less therapy and more med...

  5. Need help deciding

    DrCOVID replied to Nurse_Bk's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You will read lots of hate post about the DNP here. But if you do not have an MSN, I would do DNP. It is worth the extra time and you will have leverage over other NPs that do not have one. As you...

  6. New grad NP in pain management, bad idea?

    DrCOVID replied to J&B-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My concern is that I can't imagine your school or NP training prepared you for this at all... I guess it is not "outside your scope" but that is something where the lines can be a bit blurred. Pain is...

  7. DEA nonsense

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

    Another grand down the toilet. I think the only way to get around this *** is to physically move your *** to the state you wanna work. The waiver for disaster conditions doesn't apply because both...

  8. Relocation

    DrCOVID replied to Cisum's topic in General Specialties

    At least it is an IP state: https://scopeofpracticepolicy.org/states/hi/ This alone, for me, is going to make me leave the state I am in. Should you choose to do NP, you can specialize, and write...

  9. Failed PMHNP Boards Twice

    DrCOVID replied to Mandyland's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do not bother with BV unless it is provided. Barkley's was a waste as well. Focus on the ANCC IQ and quizlet and then Leik and there is another really good prep course I forget the name of....

  10. Undecided on which FNP Certification Exam to Take

    DrCOVID replied to abva17's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just took the ANCC** and it was mostly clinical and judgement questions. It was changed last year or

  11. very curious of supply & demand for NP & CRNAs in the future, any thoughts?

    DrCOVID replied to nursetobeat33's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think you have to be very specific here; there is a surplus of FNP: https://www.AANP.org/about/all-about-nps/NP-fact-sheet CRNA requirements and programs are much more challenging and...

  12. Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    DrCOVID replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    People with any academic doctoral degree are considered doctor. The word root is Latin - meaning "teacher," not "I went to a medical school." I just hope when I'm old I won't still be seeing this...

  13. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    There are huge salary ranges depending on area of the country/patient population. Completely dependent on patient population and pay structure; many users and posts here discuss that. I did many...

  14. Mid-school Crisis (PMHNP)

    DrCOVID replied to indomie23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Again, please do not get dissuaded by program curriculum. It is well known that curricula are a lot of fluff and dumpster courses. Your practice & efficacy as a provider has little to do with...

  15. NYU DNP Fall 2021

    DrCOVID replied to tothepointe's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well I will not be in this program, let me know if you have any questions about the DNP degree. Hopefully by now you know if you have to find your clinical sites or if they are pre-arranged. There is...

  16. Duke vs. Johns Hopkins DNP--Family Practice

    DrCOVID replied to Rural NP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I really wouldn't worry about comparing 2 schools that have good reputations. Both of these are top 20 in the nation. The biggest questions you should be concerned with are: What does the...

  17. deciding on online DNP

    DrCOVID replied to Barbara Straub's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Depending on your specialty, I think the school does matter to make yourself competitive. Just look at this; https://www.AANP.org/about/all-about-nps/NP-fact-sheet Would you want to go to...

  18. DNP to FNP

    DrCOVID replied to lorrieo123's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You are looking for a post-graduate/master's/doctoral certificate: https://nursing.vanderbilt.edu/MSN/postmasters_certificate/index.php...

  19. USPHS or government jobs...FNP

    DrCOVID replied to FNPveteran's topic in Advanced Practice

    From what I know about the USPHS, it is pretty similar to the other big branches. You just don't deploy overseas - instead you do humanitarian missions. It is also much smaller. But you will have the...

  20. Finding clients

    DrCOVID posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hey everyone. I'm down here in TX, and have set up a business as a sole APRN. I believe I have everything in place administratively; malpractice, PLLC, software, scheduling (I will handle it on my own...

  21. Private nursing services business

    DrCOVID replied to LeJo's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    See the attached document: I copied a shell thread here and created this and modified it based on what I had to do in TX. I had a friend refer me to a CPA/finance master's as well as an...

  22. How does telemedicine work? Esp as an NP

    DrCOVID replied to HopefulRN4ever's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you have a few years of nursing exp, shouldn't this be pretty intuitive? I know there are those online only, no exp needed programs but Sheesh! Providers learn dx, meds, advance assment blah...

  23. Any PMHNPs working for online platforms?

    DrCOVID replied to Taylor Stauffer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Has anyone worked for or heard of? https://www.telemynd.com/psychiatric-nurse-practitioner https://apply.workable.com/forefront-telecare/?lng=en...

  24. Outpatient PMHNP "agreement"

    DrCOVID posted a topic in Psychiatric

    For the past year, I have been planning to work with a PMHNP who owns her practice. I have known her almost 2 years and did clinical with her. So just yesterday - after telling me there would be "no...

  25. Outpatient PMHNP "agreement"

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Psychiatric

    Sorry if it was unclear, I regularly talk to several senior psychiatrists and have several 10+ year PMHNP mentors. I made all of these connections in the 4 years of grad school. I have had like 7...
