  1. Career advice- to leave or not to leave?

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Many thanks for the reasonable and logical input. I can't comment on why other providers in the specialty practices are leaving but I know that our pediatricians are leaving because of a number of...

    amalay replied to tsipareht's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  4. New Grad with GI Offer

    amalay replied to PavementRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would be afraid of being pigeon-holed for sure. I am recently considering an inpatient/outpatient hybrid position with a local hospital where I'm from, but it is only for the adolescent eating...

    amalay posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Advanced Practice

  7. PNP outpatient to inpatient?

    amalay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, for seasoned (and new) PNPs out there, do you have any advice for someone with very little inpatient experience who wants to make the switch to working in an inpatient setting? I'm a fairly new...

  8. Are you listed as a PCP?

    amalay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been having quite a struggle (well, internally - I've only voiced it to my administrators and upper-levels twice) with the organization that I work at. I am currently employed with Dignity Health...

  9. Are you listed as a PCP?

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for all of the input everybody! Yes, our patient population is mainly a mix of Medi-Cal. I know I do bill incident to under my supervising physician, so now at least it makes sense for me to...

  10. Are you listed as a PCP?

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've raised the question twice to the medical director and interim chief clinic operations officer or whatever it is, but I've aways gotten a "we'll look into it and get back to you asap". But their...

  11. Primary vs Acute Care PNP?

    amalay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I'm a fairly new PNP currently about 6-7 months into my first job in an outpatient pediatric practice. I wanted to do a quick poll for my fellow PNPs out there who do more inpatient work - were...

  12. Primary vs Acute Care PNP?

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Did you only feel comfortable doing inpatient care as an NP given your previous inpatient RN work? Or did you feel comfortable right off the bat as an

  13. California NP's - Scope of Practice Advice

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you so much for your response. Thankfully, I recently was able to resolve the whole "not being able to open my own notes" issue at a meeting with my medical director. I didn't have a chance to...

    amalay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello fellow NPs! I am currently about 6 months into my first position as a PNP in an outpatient clinic out in California (Dignity Health, for those who are familiar). It's a large organization,...

  15. California NP's - Scope of Practice Advice

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you so much Juan for your detailed response. I have to agree with you that I have always thought that it was odd I am being told I can't open up notes under my own name. I have checked and all...

  16. full time np still wanting to do RN work?

    amalay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a new PNP about 5/6 months into a full time outpatient position right now, and I'm enjoying it...BUT, I also miss the inpatient RN work. Now, i went to a direct entry RN/NP program from undergrad,...

  17. full time np still wanting to do RN work?

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, you are all right. I think it's because when I initially applied to nursing school, i had no idea what exactly I was applying for...I didn't really comprehend what an NP was at the time. But to...

  18. Calling all new NPs!

    amalay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi friends, So I'm a freshly graduated PNP from a direct entry master's program - got my RN and PNP in the same program. I've never had any employed inpatient RN experience, but I have worked as an...

  19. Calling all new NPs!

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, I am always miffed when therapists or psychologists push for meds without thinking about consequences of their recommendations. It's really not that easy to decide to manage and prescribe...

  20. Calling all new NPs!

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You make a very good point Jules. I think definitely think I have to take a step back, especially since I'm new. Thanks for clarifying the whole psychologist therapist role, I had always been confused...

  21. Calling all new NPs!

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, I've always gotten such mixed input from various preceptors and I think that is where I am finding myself a little confused about my own "scope of practice" and "comfort level". Some providers...

  22. Calling all new NPs!

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's what I always figured - what is the point of me learning about the condition, management and pharmacology if in the "real life setting", I'm just supposed to refer? Not that referral isn't...

  23. Calling all new NPs!

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for the responses everybody - it is relieving to know that I'm not the only new NP out there who feels like an impostor or feels ill-equipped to really "be on their own". I'm a little over a...

  24. PNP contract wording??

    amalay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I am a new pediatric NP and I just received my first contract for a position in a pediatric practice (that is a part of a larger medical group, think Kaiser, Sutter Health, etc and is affiliated...

  25. PNP contract wording??

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just as an update--we ended up agreeing that I could cross out and initial "family" in the contract and leave it at the more ambiguous "nurse practitioner". I think the issue was that they were simply...
