  1. Ever respond on a plane? Videoed?

    GoodNP replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Wow. Thanks for the response. I agree, hope nobody videoed that. It's disrespectful to the provider and to the

  2. Ever respond on a plane? Videoed?

    GoodNP replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I found this article somewhat helpful. The Clinician's Guide to In-Flight Emergencies -

  3. Any NP jobs in Las Vegas?

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

    No, I generally don't do that. I figure he got the email notice that somebody replied to his thread, just like I get when someone replies to mine. We'll

  4. Any NP jobs in Las Vegas?

    GoodNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My husband and I will be moving there later this year. Any NPs who have worked there, what's the climate like for NPs? How does salary compare to other parts of the country? Any suggestions or job...

  5. Any NP jobs in Las Vegas?

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

    Thanks! I'm scouring Indeed and other sites. Even Craigslist has a surprising number of job postings (they're for PAs but I figure most employers don't realize the difference). I'd sure love to get...

  6. Any NP jobs in Las Vegas?

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

    Thanks, I saw this too and posted my interest but never got a response from the

  7. Recert FNP-C in Texas (Help Please)

    GoodNP replied to medic11012002's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, this is correct. Pay the fee to renew your RN/APRN licenses through the BON. The AANP requirements do not apply in this

  8. Recert FNP-C in Texas (Help Please)

    GoodNP replied to medic11012002's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your NP license in TX is good for 4 yrs. Are you possibly confusing this with your RN license (which still has to be renewed every 2 yrs for some reason beyond my

  9. Any NPs partners/part-owners w/ physician?

    GoodNP posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    It seems in Texas there are some strange laws about who may own a clinic. An NP may own a clinic on one's own or with other NPs or PAs. However, I'm finding the laws are prohibitive against NPs being...

  10. Do you as an FNP see newborns?

    GoodNP posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Just curious. In most clinics in my area, including the sites where I did my clinicals, NPs and PAs only see babies 6 months and older. A few clinics even restrict it to one year and up. At my clinic,...

  11. TX NP Autonomy Bill

    GoodNP replied to TexanRN10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My husband and I signed, and he even penned a convincing email to Lyle Larson District

  12. Professional Journal Subscriptions

    GoodNP replied to PG2018's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Prescriber's Letter is concise, relevant, and awesome. As an FNP, I also like American Family

  13. Do you as an FNP see newborns?

    GoodNP replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks pattyweb. While I feel comfortable enough with babies and peds, knowing that most other clinics are so cautious makes me feel nervous. Psychological I guess. I did send an 8 day old to the ED...

  14. Do you as an FNP see newborns?

    GoodNP replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yeah. I wonder if this policy is overly cautious or if it is reasonable and then by default how I should judge my own clinic's policy and my own liability. It would be really encouraging to know if...

  15. Do you as an FNP see newborns?

    GoodNP replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks. I know in theory FNPs should be able to see the full spectrum. Womb to the tomb and all. It's just that most clinics I've seen do not allow their NPs or PAs to see the really little babies....

  16. How do you conduct periodic meetings with your collaborating physician?

    GoodNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a new grad still learning the ropes, working with physicians and PAs. My PA peers apparently don't have the same requirement for monthly face to face meetings which NPs in Texas have. I work...

  17. How do you conduct periodic meetings with your collaborating physician?

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

    This is a great idea. I have a multitude of texts back and forth with my physician regarding various specific clinical issues. I wonder if I could follow a similar process and have him sign off on...

  18. How many hours do NPs normally work?

    GoodNP replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've been an NP for about 6 months working in a very busy family practice clinic. Average 52 hrs/week Mon-Fri with no call. Love the job, pay is decent, but not liking the

  19. ANCC for 2013

    GoodNP replied to manhow's topic in Advanced Practice

    Was the test heavy on theories? I'm doing the FamilyNP prep practice questions and there are lots of questions where you have to match the theorist to the theory. What a colossal waste of study

  20. Should new FNP do 1 yr fam. practice before going into specialty?

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

    Thanks for your reply. You are correct that there are no guarantees until an offer is on the table. I also fully recognize that the learning curve in primary care would be much steeper than my current...

  21. Should new FNP do 1 yr fam. practice before going into specialty?

    GoodNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will graduating in December from an FNP program and I'm torn on whether I should stay in my RN specialty area of cardiology where I am sure to get a job, although details are currently unknown, or...

  22. Another salary question

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

    I personally would place a premium on the opportunity to do a paid residency with an experienced physician who is willing to teach, provided I had it in writing that upon completion of the residency I...

  23. Has anyone actually tried preceptorconnect.com ?

    GoodNP replied to RN2SAVEURLIFE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I first read about preceptorconnect from a thread on this site. The poster stated that the preceptors found through preceptorconnect were more helpful and informative than the ones he/she found on his...

  24. Texas Tech FNP 2012

    GoodNP replied to niculonghornrn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow! Did the SON give you this information? Is it for all graduate programs combined or just FNP? I was accepted for spring 2012, and now I'm thinking how lucky I

  25. Controversial new policies at Baylor!!!!

    GoodNP replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and by that reasoning it makes sense to perform these screenings for use in determining insurance premiums. I don't want to be offensive, but a high risk lifestyle (e.g. using tobacco and/or...
