    Integrative Medicine - is it legal?

    cayenne06 replied to GcMAF's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Which treatments are you interested in specifically? I used to practice naturopathic/alternative health care so I am intimately familiar with this topic. I really encourage you to look at this from...

    Accidental Mistake- UGH

    cayenne06 replied to Fnp9090's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With these kinds of things, skip the emailing and head straight for the phone. I bet if you speak to someone they can straighten it right out for you with little hassle? I am sure these things come up...

    Case Study: HIPAA violation or not?

    cayenne06 replied to Allmy?'s topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The problem here is not the photo per se. It is how the photo was obtained- by a student, on a personal cell phone. This is just wrong, HIPAA or not. As a student, you don't take pictures of people...

    CNM and WHNP dual program

    cayenne06 replied to FutureNP357932's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    A CNM can do everything a WHNP can do, plus catch babies. I can't think of anything to gain by having both. Is there a specific reason you want both? I would think a better dual cert would be CNM and...

    Nurse Practitioner working without a MA

    cayenne06 replied to ms_sgr's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is just mind boggling to me- I can't bill insurance for transcribing blood pressures or filling out prior auths! Admin wants me to have a solid support team so I can spend my time seeing...

    Feminine Hygiene for 4th Grade?

    cayenne06 replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    Can you imagine if we had to rely on donations to keep up a supply of toilet paper?!?!?! WHY are menstrual products treated differently. Can't the school just, you know, BUY SOME

    cayenne06 replied to wandwaving's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hahaha me too. I love seeing the docs draw blood and do their own MRIs, lmao. And has House never heard of working up a DDx?? WHY does he insist on attacking each diagnosis, one by one, with such...

    Vaccine controversy

    cayenne06 replied to degfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    YES. This. Anything less is patronizing. They deserve to know the real information, they deserve our expert opinions. It is easy to walk away from the talk- nonvaxxers are on high alert to defend...

    Trans Patient

    cayenne06 replied to Neo Soldier's topic in Psychiatric

    WHAT?! Why is this a trans-specific issue? WHY IN THE WORLD would a trans person be more likely to whip out their junk than anyone else?? Patients prone to sexual misconduct should be managed...

    Vaccine controversy

    cayenne06 replied to degfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I *was* that anti-vax mom, I am embarrased to say. It took a looong time for me to realize how wrong I was. My kids' pediatrician never once questioned me on my decision to not vaccinate. I wish they...

    Discipline

    cayenne06 replied to Subby317's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I thought I was clear with my comment re: unfit providers. I was careful to state that I will happily train and guide any new provider, as long as they are equally invested. Unfit means completely...

    Please help!!! New NP Dilemma :(

    cayenne06 replied to ColumbiaNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    JUST SAY NO. Say it nicely but firmly. No no no no. Management should give them a mandatory half day of EHR training, if this minor task is really such a hurdle for them. Or you could offer to walk...

    Discipline

    cayenne06 replied to Subby317's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Discipline a colleague? What?! I am not sure I understand what you mean. Are you in a management role in addition to patient care? My fellow APRNs and I are a team- we support each other and help...

    Trans Patient

    cayenne06 replied to Neo Soldier's topic in Psychiatric

    No no, she is a woman. She is not male. She belongs in the female section. There is NO reason for the status of her genitals to even be an issue here. Trans people are at HIGH risk of sexual assault...

    Mom takes forever to pickup

    cayenne06 replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    I worked a short stint as a school nurse for teenagers with mental health and behavioral issues, so I totally get the frustration/annoyance of having a kid hanging out in your work space. But I have...

    Who will do CNS role?

    cayenne06 replied to anewsns's topic in Advanced Practice

    What is the role of a CNS exactly? What makes CNS scope/training unique enough to merit its own, dedicated APRN certification? I am geniunely asking, I can't find a clear answer. It seems akin to...

    Discrepancies between job and contract? I was lied to!

    cayenne06 replied to SoontoBNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    New clinicians need to be supported so they can excel at their job (and, you know, not accidentally harm a patient). It speaks *volumes* that they sent you out on your own so quickly. Huge red flag...

    Advice please

    cayenne06 replied to ert01479's topic in General Nursing

    I totally understand the stress! But the previous posters are right- take a step back and look at the big picture. These are things you are *more* than qualified to do. The only real problem is...

    Therapy dogs and Allergies

    cayenne06 replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I am not sure what you mean by this? Is it that you don't feel we take allergies seriously in this day and age? It doesn't have to be either/or. Therapy animals can have important and measurable...

    Therapy dogs and Allergies

    cayenne06 replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    What is your policy for things like peanut allergies? Obv an allergy to dander is not in any way comparable, but i'd imagine it would be handled similarly, with seating rearrangements and hygeine...

    cayenne06 replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Psychiatric

    Listen. *Nobody* wants to be homeless. *Nobody* wants to be addicted to meth. Literally nobody. Our system is f****** to such an alarming degree; how can we blame people for trying to game it?? Its a...
