  1. 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,...

  2. How Do You Handle Patients That...

    DrCOVID posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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...

  3. How Do You Handle Patients That...

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

    She fired me and found another provider. I think that is a great idea and going to add that to my disclosure, thank

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. 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...

  7. 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?...

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  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...

  11. 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...

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

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

    Ohhh not this crap again! YES I DO - I introduce myself as DOCTOR and explain I'm a Nurse PRACTIITONER with a

  13. Any PMHNPs working for online platforms?

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

    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

  14. 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...

  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...

  16. Schedule II Meds

    DrCOVID posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I have already had several patients come to me seeking specific types of medications (take a wild guess which ones) why STIMULANTS of course. I am a relative new grad and it makes me a bit uneasy...

  17. Schedule II Meds

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Advanced Practice

    I feel like a good % of people don't actually meet criteria for their DX history. All of the people that have come to me with "ADHD" have already had stimulants (mostly Adderall) many

  18. Schedule II Meds

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Advanced Practice

    Right, the main concern is misuse/abuse. I had my main problem child turn meds into the police 2 weeks ago since he was collecting them rapidly... I always check the PMP before any stimulant RX....

  19. Schedule II Meds

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm a private outpt only practice as an independent entity. The problem is, these pts usually have had the medicine they are requesting from another provider. Seems that providers hand these out like...

  20. Texas FNP role

    DrCOVID replied to nurserrr1's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't think there is a black and white answer to this. The base is you have to be familiar with the nurse practice acts and practicing outside your scope. Moreover, if you haven't been trained...

  21. BSN to DNP

    DrCOVID replied to serenity's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, institutions don't grandfather you a degree. DNP is a degree. I have essentially two years more than the typical MSN in didactic and clinical time. DNP capstone is done in a clinic fyi. I...

  23. Why is finding preceptors so hard?

    DrCOVID replied to Kalibear17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So number 1 is psych is like one of the lowest matched specialties for both MD and NP. It is only 2% of NPs got certified in psych as of 2018. Finding a good PsychNP is pretty hard in the first place....

  24. Should I be concerned?

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

    Your first clinical round you should mostly be

  25. Should I be concerned?

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

    My primary preceptor had 2-4 almost all the time, but would only have 1 on one day. We doubled up sometimes but even then the other 2 students would barely even talk while I was there. Even in my...
