  1. Rn to case manager

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Elirocco30's topic in Case Management

    Your MBA is certainly valuable as a nurse if you are interested in admin work. Even with an MBA I can see some settings probably wanting you to also advance your AS degree to BSN (even though it will...

  2. Ins. credentialing pending - can I change jobs??

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

    Wow! They are not doing a good job. If your office is paying them to handle this, then they should be fired or sent a strongly worded letter. Just started a new job and it took 6 weeks to be all set...

  3. Dual roles under same employer

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

    I would say yes. As an FNP you can do primary care and mental health can be treated by primary care. It sounds like you have a collaborating physician for your psych patients and another for primary...

  4. keeping up skills during prolonged time off

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

    You could consider a PRN gig in urgent care or I do health assessments for the military or VA disability exams. So, it is completely optional to work and I can sign up for a day or two and then...

  5. Psychiatric NP

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to xtl311's topic in Advanced Practice

    What I liked most was seeing patients respond to the meds and do a complete 180 in how they feel. I also enjoyed getting a better understanding of psych meds and how to treat various conditions. I...

  6. Additional certifications useful?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to allaboutnursing77's topic in Advanced Practice

    Have you looked into a certificate in integrative medicine? There is a specialty board you can get certified from. Also, I've seen post-master's certificates and even a distance

  7. Psychiatric NP

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to xtl311's topic in Advanced Practice

    I did outpatient psych for 1.5 years in a private practice. I worked 9-6pm M-TH with an hour lunch. No weekends, holidays, or call. I did have to check emails Fri-Sun as the clinic was still open...

  8. How to become a hospital NP?

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

    My hospitalist team hired an adult NP and an FNP. They had them both get an ACNP certification. The hospital paid for it. So, it was just getting through the schooling. From what I've seen a dual...

  9. Collaborative Agreement PA

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

    Basically, you can't work without a collaberating physician. So, if you get sued for something you can bet on your collaberating physician being named in the suite. Especially if you prescribed...

  10. Collaborative Agreement PA

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

    Yes, there is liability for the MD. If there wasn't, then you wouldn't need a collaboration agreement in order to work. You should take some time to read over the rules/regulations of your state...

  11. Now I get why experience means everything yet nothing

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    First of all....I think the unprofessional statements you are expressing about other mid-level provider colleagues should be checked at the door. You failed to mention how many NP's don't actually...

  12. Out of state RX

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

    "Question: Are separate registrations required for separate locations? Answer: A separate registration is required for each principal place of business or professional practice where controlled...
