  1. NP Fellowship program at Emory Hospital Atlanta

    Emory has an excellent reputation in this city. I would jump on it
  2. For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

    Just to top this....I have had a number of students call my office and ask if I would precept them. I cannot return phone calls until the end of the day. I (at first) was happy to do this as I...
  3. Empire Medical Training?

    Not much money in it, however. Allergan has raised prices continuously through the last 14 years. The middle (us) is getting squeezed. There are not many discounts available, even to the larger...
  4. Integrative Medicine - is it legal?

    Will completely be determined by your state. I have found that the western states are more receptive to this type of care. That said, my state still has an issue with NP's. We have a net exodus of...
  5. PAs Do Not Like Us

    I work with a PA. We get along just fine. I believe it depends on the person. We are both older and work well with all members of our team. Never an issue (as it should
  6. 41 yr. old business executive going to Nursing School

    Nursing has changed significantly in the last 10 years. I am not going to dissuade you from entering the field but all the feel goods that I used to have have dissipated. I also left the corporate...
  7. Will marijuana ever be okay in nursing?

    I wonder what will happen when GW Pharmaceuticals Epidiolex hits the market 6-8 weeks out. It is 98% CBD, 1% thc and !% other fillers including flavorings. It is for seizures and migraine headaches....
  8. Drug testing

    Kratom is going illegal in many states. I look for it soon to be added to a drug panel test. I think we are months away from it. Georgia will decide in January whether or not to add to schedule 1....
  9. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Spent the weekend with a MD in my group. Her pay has declined significantly since so many NP's are hitting the market. She makes $125,000 per year. Sounds like a lot right? This lady has 200k...
  10. One of the docs I worked with in the past told me that poppy seeds can lead to a positive marijuana urine test. I had never heard this before. I quit buying poppy seed buns at the
  11. Thankfulness - What's Yours?

    I am thankful for my health (mental and physical). I am thankful that I do not suffer any tremendous hardship in my life. I am thankful for the many wonderful patients that I serve. Also the fact...
  12. If the government legalizes marijuana in the US...

    Not going to happen. GW Pharmaceuticals is bringing to market a new drug called Epidiolex in 6 to 8 weeks. It is 98% CBD, 1% THC and 1% other fillers. DEA rescheduled marijuana September 28,2018...
  13. Nurse Imposters

    It is going on everywhere in my state. I recently went in to get botox at a clinic. I assumed (never assume) that the person giving me botox was a Nurse Practitioner as they said the doctor was not...
  14. Actually Kratom is illegal in many states. You can go to jail for it in Alabama. Many states are following this as well....i.e Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky among others. I fully expect it will be...
  15. Least "demanding" nursing Jobs?

    There is nothing easy in life. It is best that you learn this
  16. Academic adviser says I'm selling myself short by going into nursing.

    Maybe she equates nursing with being a candy striper. I am a NP in private practice. When I attend social events, some think all I do is fluff pillows. Generally these are older people. That said...
  17. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Same with
  18. Is this legal?

    That is the reason. They would loose reimbursement from federal programs as it is federally
  19. Is this legal?

    A new cannabis medication is coming to market in approximately 4 to 6 weeks. The drug is legal and manufactured by GW Pharmaceuticals. The DEA rescheduled thc from schedule 1 to schedule 5 in...
  20. How much narcotics have YOU prescribed?

    Zero.
  21. Shockingly low NP pay !

    I am in Georgia. It was brought to my attention that many are educated in this state but leave after graduation. We are extremely backward in pay. People also want to see a MD. Just had a guy in...
  22. Botox - nurse practitioner

    I went in to a place doing botox and they had ZERO medical staff in the facility. The injector was not even a medical assistant......so i guess that is how the price is so low. This place just got...
  23. Shockingly low NP pay !

    I am in Georgia and I make far less than the 72k that you quoted. This is a state that is very backward for NP's. If I could sell my house and leave I would. I have given it thought. We also have...
  24. Botox - nurse practitioner

    I am doing this. Be very careful with what market you are in. This is very cut throat and allergan keeps raising the price. People are over watering the product down. It is supposed to be 2.5 ml...
  25. Advice for an older RN going back for FNP

    BTW, I finished the program in
