  1. Anyone here work fast track/urgent care?

    emtneel replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    emtneel posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    emtneel replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    emtneel replied to Platow45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do locum tenens and I just transfer my DEA to each new location. If you work in 2 states at the same time then yes, you have to have 2 DEA's. And Yes, its a way to get more money.. Thankfully I...

  10. When a new NP how do you complete prescriptive duties when need MD involvement?

    emtneel replied to rnattorney's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    emtneel replied to ARNP08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
