  1. Conservative school for DNP?

    CRF250Xpert posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So, against my better judgment, I am looking at DNP programs. I don't want to make the same mistake I did in Grad School and end up in a DNP program that is 100% about underserved populations and...

  2. A Day In The Life Of A NP?

    CRF250Xpert replied to Enigmatik's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    CAM is Complementary and Alternative

  3. A Day In The Life Of A NP?

    CRF250Xpert replied to Enigmatik's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Get to work at 0500 to read all labs and write notes based on those for the staff to get with the pt for yz and f/u. Read al of the notes from staf for me - med refills, referral request etc. Read...

  4. Why NP and not doctor?

    CRF250Xpert replied to Enigmatik's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Timing. I wanted to go to med school, but I had to make choices that were best for everyone in the family and for my career. I still wish I'd gone MD, but life isn't always all about what I

  5. when is it ok to bring up....

    CRF250Xpert replied to nitasarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yep - if the pay isn't right - why waste everyone's time? I'm too old to care about anything else. Work is work...and my time and skills generate

  6. Need advice

    CRF250Xpert replied to amerriott's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you should look back and remember why you became a FNP. I personally couldn't stand the 12 hour days 7 days a week in the ER and being on call 24/7 in the OR - voila - I work m-f in a 0730 to...

  7. NP Changes that need to happen...

    CRF250Xpert replied to Sabotai's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, it's not very popular, but I fully believe that the biggest problem in nursing is that it's run by nurses. Using terms that MDs understand like "residency" would give automatic credibility....

  8. ACNP without research, theory, etc

    CRF250Xpert replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I pretty much spend my whole day thinking, "I wonder what Orem would do?" Then I wake up, realize I have a ton of pt's to see, Dx,Rx plan, etc - such much work - so little time for theory reflections...

  9. Do you tell pts who get heparin that it comes from pigs???

    CRF250Xpert replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If full disclosure, 100% PC, and all source awareness is the goal, you better get the legal office to prepare a 500 page booklet. Recall that we use things like salmon sperm, urine, fungi, etc to...

  10. Senior AFROTC Nursing Student with questions!

    CRF250Xpert replied to JaysFanKate's topic in Government, Military

    Have an active duty cadre with a CAC log onto AMS. Go to officer assignments. Search by AFSC and O1 through O3. This will give you a list of the places that actually have the job for which you...

  11. I'm Not Overthinking This, Am I?

    CRF250Xpert replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm very certain it's against the law to lie so a patient can commit fruad and sit at home (or at his real illegal under the table job)with his hand out. Maybe call the cops and turn them in? I work...

  12. Help! Case log!

    CRF250Xpert replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We use an EMR that I can pull all of my coding off of for real

  13. Theoretical frameworks????

    CRF250Xpert replied to FutureNP601's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wish you nothing but the best. I think theory stuff is all done tongue-in-cheek, but it sure makes the PhD's feel necessary. I've had coworker MDs ask me if they could get a copy of an article I...

  14. New Grad. FNP: Need advice on CE

    CRF250Xpert replied to j411100's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I read Medscape while sitting at traffic lights. I feel very up to date since I read every day. Waiting all year for a big trip to a confernce and have to digest tons of input isn't a good fit for...

  15. Would you do it over again?

    CRF250Xpert replied to kelmc0824's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Apples and Oranges. It's very hard for a RN to understand what a NP does (impossible, IMO). Here's a good read: Doctor burnout: Nearly half of physicians report symptoms â€"

  16. Where are all the online NP graduates?

    CRF250Xpert replied to Mommy2be's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    wish I could help, but I went to a

  17. Emergency NP Fellowship

    CRF250Xpert replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a bit biased as I'm a military NP, but if you could swing a month in the ER in Kandahar - your HR would never get above 60 when back in a stateside ER. When I got back from Iraq the last time, I...

  18. DEA license

    CRF250Xpert replied to charlie1234's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ditto,

  19. Integrative / Functional Medicine / Complementary NP's

    CRF250Xpert replied to aet111's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm curious how you bill for that? I crank out alot of RVUs, but with "traditional" biopsies, injections, etc. How do I get credit for aromatherapy and

  20. Lackland AFB

    CRF250Xpert replied to heirn13's topic in Government, Military

    I lived past Seaworld (past 211 & 90 actually) and drove to BAMC and Ft. Sam daily with no problem. If you work banker's hours - you would suffer. If you are medical and go in at 0500 - no...

  21. Cardiology Nurse Practitioner owned practice

    CRF250Xpert replied to austinj97's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Technically, I can. The problem is getting a consulting physician to sign on. You aren't going to get a Family Practice MD to agree to that. You're also probably not going to get a Cardiologist to...

  22. Preparing for the AANP exam

    CRF250Xpert replied to Natural12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats

  23. Immunizations and well visits

    CRF250Xpert replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you fire the pt will you go hungry or will that spot in your practice get instantly filled with a family that actually wants to hear what you have to say and wants to participate in the care of...

  24. American Academy of Family Physicians thoughts on NPs

    CRF250Xpert replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It doesn't benefit the AAFP in any way to give NPs any credit. They own the PAs, so why would they condone or applaud NPs when we don't answer to them? I recently began working with two new Family...

  25. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

    CRF250Xpert replied to lvICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ditto. I am looking to do them myself. Looks like payola, but there must be a down side. A quick phone tag revealed they just can't get MDs to do it since it doesn't pay enough for them to close the...
