  1. Return to NP Practice

    Rnis replied to Godsgirl73's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good

  2. Family Practice or SNF

    Rnis replied to DTWriter's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Both of those job sound bunk. I currently have the potential to see up to 4 patients an hour but that changes based on patient issue (i get more time for chest pain, abdominal pain, new anxiety...

  3. Any NPs have scribes?

    Rnis replied to nursetim's topic in Advanced Practice

    I use dragon dictation. We can't find rooming staff as it is,...... scribes aren't a possibility. I sometimes see 19-20 patients a day.....but those are stressful days. most people in my role are...

  4. Putting in orders without an order.

    Rnis replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen someone fired and reported for the board for this. She had been a nurse for a long time at the facility. As a prescriber, I am not okay with people putting in an order without my...

  5. Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Rnis replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Whats funny about that, if you come to a primary care clinic ...... your probably more likely to see your MD for the routine care and the PA/NP for your emergency. I consistently see chest...

  6. Pursuing FNP as a psychiatric RN

    Rnis replied to distantmiao's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think the acute care experience helps you grasp the bigger picture/pathophysiology when you are in school. I don't know that it is necessary to have the experience, but maybe there is a higher...

    Rnis replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good for you for advocating for yourself. I am glad they

  8. Best Medical App?

    Rnis replied to RN-ing's topic in Advanced Practice

    5 minute clinical consult (the app, not the book) Up to date is great but it is time consuming and hard to muddle

  9. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

    Rnis replied to LJewelsAPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    The exam standard was something I thought was specific to my school. we had proctored test and our test averages had to be 87 %. This standard has not been a part of any of the BSN programs I...

  10. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

    Rnis replied to LJewelsAPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    right but even at 4 hours a week not taking any weeks off ......you would barely meet the

  11. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

    Rnis replied to LJewelsAPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Glad it worked for you. I had someone from that program ask me to precept them for their final clinical (adult primary care) and they hadn't done any of their clinical rotations in the primary care...

  12. Change from software to NP

    Rnis replied to MayaSwiss's topic in General Students

    Best wishes on your journey. I think if you are wanting to go directly into a provider role you would be better served becoming a physician assistant. the NP role was truly created for experienced...

  13. Negotiating a salary increase based on production

    Rnis replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, I currently just make a salary with no RVU compensation. I am a high producer due to both patient volume and billing and I asked for a 10% raise to accommodate for the fact that RVUs are not...

  14. Writing help

    Rnis replied to raindrop's topic in Advanced Practice

    Your school might still have a writing center. My grad school has one dedicated to grad students. Every school is different so it is hard to know how strict they will be. My MSN program was okay,...

  15. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

    Rnis replied to LJewelsAPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have had students from state schools, private schools, and the schools i perceive as mill schools. I am going to be honest that the students i had from Chamberlain, frontier, and Purdue have been...

  16. Return to NP Practice

    Rnis replied to Godsgirl73's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think practicums , a recent pharmacology course and retaking the boards is

  17. Transferring from an accelerated nursing program after the 1st semester

    Rnis replied to coffeeandchips's topic in General Students

    I graduated from an accelerated Bsn to Rn program... fabulous experience. What you are describing..... sounds concerning . I would consider

  18. PhD nurses educating DNP students

    Rnis replied to Neuro Guy NP's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    In the DNP program I am in, we have some courses with multiple instructors typically one with a PHD and a

  19. Failed Np boards

    Rnis replied to Nette's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry to hear this. I did Barkley (bought a used older version cause i'm cheap) and it was fabulous. I have heard that Fitzgerald goes too indepth for the boards. I also had the Leik book and...

  20. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

    Rnis replied to LJewelsAPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Flexible clinical hours are not going to be related to the school, but the clinical site. You are getting a primary care degree, the expectation will likely be weekday hours. You will probably have...

  21. Am I too young in experience to teach?

    Rnis replied to frequentFLyER's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This is my two cents. Keep your job but pick up a prn job on a med-surg floor. Unless your getting a PHD, your role as a nurse educator will include clinical teaching. Most likely that will be on a...

  22. Saying No to extra shifts, is it bad if you're new?

    Rnis replied to AngelaB236's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody cares. Just say no

  23. Board of Nursing Complaint

    Rnis replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    I wouldn't call at all ? She is just Type A. They didn't talk about the specific case just in general. My point was just to reassure that generally it is resolved without significant recourse...

  24. Adjunct Instructor

    Rnis replied to Ashley_113's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Probably because you don't have your DNP and you are seeking to teach at the MSN level. For online jobs, you are competing with people across the country so it is natural that they are going to...

  25. Board of Nursing Complaint

    Rnis replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    My friend literally just went through this. Don't panic yet. She called and talked to BON as soon as she learned of the complaint. They were very reassuring that the majority of complaints are...
