  1. Ever respond on a plane? Videoed?

    GoodNP posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Hi all. A colleague of mine recently responded to the "is there doctor on the plane?" call. Since I'll be doing some traveling soon, it has made me think. Particularly in this time of cell phones and...

  2. Urgent pls help!

    GoodNP replied to entrepreneur_np's topic in Advanced Practice

    Perhaps you could find CME that would help provide a foundation for practice. If it's not in your contract, is it worth it to you to pay out of pocket? Are you willing to spend some of your personal...

  3. Does it matter which FNP school I pick?

    GoodNP replied to friendlylark's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This! The value of school-provided and vetted preceptors can not be overestimated. I can't tell you how many requests I have received from would-be NP students from no-name online schools 10 states...

  4. Did you do all readings in FNP school?

    GoodNP replied to NEMurse95's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Interesting question. Keep in mind that this website is regularly viewed by MDs and medical students. Do we really want NPs admitting they didn't read all their

    I don't, but can't control other

  6. Dr. denigrates NPs, cites low IQ etc

    GoodNP replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm really not trying to start any trouble, but this is simply not true. To make such statements makes NPs appear either deluded or

  7. Dr. denigrates NPs, cites low IQ etc

    GoodNP replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes! It is so embarrassing when an NP student comes in to my clinic and it is painfully evident he or she is unprepared, unresearched, attending whatever program had the most lax admission...

  8. "Noctor?" Offensive title?

    GoodNP replied to Breathing16's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. An amazing CULT-ure: Crossfit...Good or bad?

    GoodNP replied to Cwoods's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Cult-like indeed. They usually do recommend dietary improvements as well, typically Paleo. Macros aside, eliminating processed foods is good advice. Since nearly all of my patients are obese or...

  11. APRN Texas application nightmare

    GoodNP replied to pla84's topic in Advanced Practice

    I had this experience as well in 2014. I'm sorry I don't remember exactly what the issue ended up being, but I think I ended up having to download the form myself and sent it to the BON, then the BON...

  12. Have you ever met someone who regretted getting their NP?

    GoodNP replied to Cola89's topic in Advanced Practice

    I hate saying this bc I know this site is viewed by many MDs and MD students, but I feel the same. I just didn't know what I didn't know when I was

  13. How do you manage ADHD in your clinic?

    GoodNP posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Can NPs diagnose ADHD? I live in Texas, and I'm struggling to find scope of practice information specific to ADHD on BON website. I'm curious to know how other practices manage diagnosing and...

  14. First NP JOB.. Should I stick it out

    GoodNP replied to newnp31's topic in Advanced Practice

    Rest assured, it won't ruin you to leave. However, I think it's only fair to give your employer an opportunity to change. Unless of course you have witnessed your peers try to speak up and get...

  15. Nursing Experience FNP

    GoodNP replied to hdhnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    It matters to some employers, but not all. Here's where I think it would help - you have RN experience working in peds and now you're applying to work at a pediatrics office; you worked in an ER now...

  16. Confused!! Post masters or DNP

    GoodNP replied to supernursejason's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If your concern is your acute care skills, then I recommend pursuing the acute care certificate. BONs in some states are pushing forth legislation that only allows ACNPs to work in hospitals. If your...

  17. To the APRN Curriculum Critics

    GoodNP replied to Psychcns's topic in Advanced Practice

    I get the OP's point, or at least I think I get what they're saying. Basically "do something about it or quitcher ********". Problem is, most of us are not wired that way. We went on to become APRNs...

  18. How do you manage ADHD in your clinic?

    GoodNP replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

  19. How do you manage ADHD in your clinic?

    GoodNP replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice
