  1. What do you sign?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to RunNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It seems redundant to put APRN followed by two different APRN credentials? Can't one come to the conclusion that you are an APRN based on the two

  2. Soon to be new grad BSN...should I work below license while waiting for position to open?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to brindlenurse's topic in Operating Room

    Uhh, this statement is not correct. The BON doesn't care if you are working below your level of licensure, just don't ever work ABOVE your level. They will care about that. If said statement was...

  3. What do you sign?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to RunNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My signature is rarely legible of my first or last name. So, no point in signing with extra letters. I've never understood the point of putting all these extra letters. Me personally I put my just...

  4. What do you prefer to be called?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    As everyone else has stated, I don't use the title of doctor in clinical practice. I am damn proud of my doctorate degree, but I'm not a physician. I have my degree credentials on my email signature...

  5. Glutton for Punishment?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my goodness! Give me 8 hours and I can teach someone how to be an

  6. Glutton for Punishment?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    It's just a matter of time before degree creep takes over everything. To be an MA you'll need an associates, LVN bachelors, RN masters and NP doctorate. Then in 100 years basically everyone with a...

  7. Want to work as an NP-Help

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to NPUMD2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The poster is already an acute care, peds acute, and "primary care" NP with a PhD (gathering all this info is correct) and you think they should go get an additional certification? Oh my! Agreed, 9...

  8. Gotta bad feeling about this place.....

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Melody007_FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What do you know about the practice vs what the reviews say? People post bad reviews more often then good ones. Do you have other job options? Will it really hurt anything to give them the...

  9. Being an RN vs being an NP?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to renae0404's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is a very broad question and I would suggest you do some searches to find a variety of answers. Being an RN vs NP are two different jobs. It is like what is the difference between being an NP...

  10. Employer holding pay check

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to NicholeFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    File a complaint with the department of hours and wages or your states equivalent to that. There are laws to assist you in situations like this. For instance, when I worked in California an employer...

  11. Urgent response needed on RN Competencies after 3 years as a non clinical nurse

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to moeBSN1988's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Nobody would be working "under your license". Your RN license is yours and nobody can share it with you. Is tube feeding and suctioning something that is done in your facility? If so, then you...

  12. How do you deal with the name calling?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to pixierose's topic in General Nursing

    I once had a patient call me a "blonde Russian *****". So, after work I found a white T-shirt and some markers and made a cool blonde Russian ***** shirt to wear. I'm not even

  13. help, torn about staying in current job

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to simplyFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, I left. The whole practice was a mess. It was a husband physician and wife office manager situation and NEVER EVER

  14. Are you a nurse practitioner without any nursing experience?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to bethymaester's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have a friend who did direct entry NP. After the 1st year she completed her RN and worked like a few months on the floor, but not even a year and then finished her NP and went straight into an NP...

  15. help, torn about staying in current job

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to simplyFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would agree, if you think he is doing something wrong, they you don't want to work there. However, if you have no proof or direct knowledge of the fraud, then you aren't committing any fraud. You...

  16. ENP or not?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to nurse4life4ever's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you just want to work urgent care, then your FNP training should have taught you how to recognize everything you will see. Now you need to learn how to manage it. For urgent care I would guess...

  17. Recent Interview - have questions?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to PassionateFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    1000 hours of mentored prescribing before applying for full prescriptive

  18. Recent Interview - have questions?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to PassionateFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just from my own street smarts gathered over the years... 1. You can not work as an NP without a license unless your state provides a temporary license, but then that is still having a license. You...

  19. Getting an additional NP certification

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to amulam's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You already know adult medicine. So, would you consider a PNP certificate? You have no peds experience and so doing the PNP would get you more exposure to peds medicine then FNP program I would...

  20. ENP or not?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to nurse4life4ever's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I haven't met an ENP yet, but you can do that or just get your ACNP and your combo FNP/ACNP is basically an

  21. New MSN Degree

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Jodi Dotson's topic in Advanced Practice

    You need to narrow down what you want to do. With you MSN you can teach, go into admin/development, or continue working as a floor

  22. am i an idiot as a new FNP to work at minute clinic

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to ilovensg's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you are questioning a minute clinic and really want to do primary care, then you should wait. You have a job, wish you had waited, and are stating that you don't need to rush. So, don't rush and...

  23. Lied to by new employer

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Mrod11411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You really don't have any recourse. You should/could call them out on lying to you and seeing the text email. Will you even be allowed to practice with the specialist leaving? Are you adequately...

  24. Pathway to International/Global Public Health

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to RNqwerty's topic in Public, Community Health

    Nova Southeastern has a doctorate in health science (DHSc) with a global health track. You would need to complete a master's degree first. They offer a master's in health science as

  25. Should I pursue DNP FNP?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to jensfbay's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's only worth it if you think it's worth it. You could save time just doing an MSN program. Compare MSN vs DNP and consider if there is an end goal advantage to having the DNP over
