  3. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    PAs have independent practice in North Dakota and fairly close to it in Michigan (no supervision/delegation by a physician, defined as independent prescribers, require a participating physician...

  4. Question on prescribing controlled substances in California

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

    The scripts are e-prescribed and I don't believe you can send them ahead of time like that. What I ended up doing was having patients email be directly asking for a refill for ADHD meds and I would...

  5. Question on prescribing controlled substances in California

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

    If it is the same place....I worked there for 1 1/2 years when we had just one office....I have many stories. In regard to refill on schedule II....it was a practice policy that we must see...

  6. Question on prescribing controlled substances in California

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

    This sounds very familiar to me. . . like I have lived this very same practice. If you don't mind me asking...where do you work? I'm in Ohio now, but spent some time in outpatient psych in...

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to NurseBarb94's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. Pulmonary NP

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

    I would be sure to do pulm rotation. More then one would be good. Hopefully, mingle with the right pulm office and get a job

  10. Pulmonary NP

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

    You can do pulm without an acute care NP. You could have issue doing inpatient rounding only if the hospital has a restriction that inpatient NPs must be acute care

  11. PMHNP student - Meds vs Therapy

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to indomie23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When I worked outpatient psych I did med management only. The other PA and NP did the same. We had therapists (LMFT, LCSW, and LPC) and recommended to all patients to see one of

  12. Psych NPs Patient Schedules - Is this the norm?

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

    When I did outpatient psych I worked 9-6. 3 pph 9-10, 4pph 10-12, 3 pph 12-1. Lunch 1-2. 4pph 2-5, 3 pph 5-6. A new patient would take 2 slots during an hour I was seeing 3 pph. When I joined the...

  13. Managing Ancillary Staff

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Babyboss 19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  14. New FNP Questions

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

    Wow...PA looking in from outside perspective, but how can someone become an NP without a clue about any of this? Yes, some states are confusing when applying for a license, but to become an NP without...

  15. Is being an FNP worth it?

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Shelly7913's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most providers don't graduate feeling competent practicing. Competence is developed after time in practice. Have you done any clinicals

  16. Is this the correct way to list credentials?

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

    When I was a student, I signed my notes PA-S I or II, meaning first year or second year. We had to identify who we were. Now-a-days if using EMR it will already be reflected in your electronic...

  17. Hired as a PNP, forced to work as an RN

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to HelloNurse80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Doubtful a company has a procedure manual stating NPs can't do work that is beneath them. They can have you empty the trash and mop the floor if they wanted. They could have just laid you off, but...

  18. Where can acute care pediatric nps practice

    DizzyJ DHSc PA-C replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Advanced Practice

    **not an NP, but my thoughts** Yes, you can keep your current job. Yes, PNP-AC should manage inpatient peds/ER, but you are also an FNP. So, you will have training for both inpatient and outpatient....

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

  21. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    Obviously, you have no understanding of the PA profession and no literature to support your outrageous statement. Endangering patients?!?! A provider who does 500 hours of clinicals, they scheduled on...

  22. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    I always feel both professions are set back decades when someone says “mid level”. PAs are “generalists”. However, we only practice within our scope of experience, training, and education....

  23. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    Many think it makes a very strong argument. Clearly providers can be made independent with less training then a PA. What many don’t realize is that a lot of PAs already practice independently in...
