  3. How to change specialties as an FNP?

    GoodNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been in family practice for 11 years and while I love my patients, I no longer enjoy the most common chief complaints. I'd like to get into something different. Maybe hem/onc, infectious...

  4. How to change specialties as an FNP?

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

    Thanks for all of the comments. I think I'm feeling a lack of confidence just applying for a specialty position without a good foundation of experience. When I took my first NP job in primary care, I...

  5. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

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

    I used to make it a policy to only precept NP students from local (in-state) brick and mortar schools. Never from Chamberlain, etc. Now I don't take any students at all. Sad because part of me feels...

  6. Sexism in Advanced Practice?

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

    "the vast majority of the thankless, back-end 'secretarial' style work that makes a lot of the clinics run tends to fall on the women APPs" would love to hear some examples of

  7. NPs, Please share the reasons you left your old job/specialty?

  8. NPs, Please share the reasons you left your old job/specialty?

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

    I am actively looking to leave primary care because I am sick of obesity, obesity-related illnesses, obesity meds, fighting with patients about why their insurance won't cover, or why the pharmacy...

  9. Already Burnt out

    GoodNP replied to sarena33's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A few thoughts: That is the most egregious money-grubbing profit-motivated unnecessary dangerous over-utilization of healthcare I have ever heard of. There are laws to prevent exactly this type...

  10. Is it worth becoming an NP at 45 years of age?

    GoodNP replied to Sage1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Definitely not too old and it makes you happy go for it! HOWEVER, it might not make you happy. Depending on what area you plan to work, know that it can be grueling. E.g. primary care. You will...

  11. Prescribing Phentermine in ohio

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

    Wait, so NPs may prescribe Qsymia, but not phentermine? I wonder whose pockets got lined with that

  12. Gender discrimination in pay

    GoodNP replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    That's BS. Hospitals should be ashamed to treat their existing employees with such disrespect and lack of appreciation. LOLOL what am I saying??? I crack myself up. Anyway, I would not be able to stay...

  13. The culture of silence and police brutality

    GoodNP replied to rebeccaUTA's topic in General Nursing

    Well said. That said, nurses, aka imperfect human beings who make mistakes like the rest of the world, are taught the ethical principles of nursing. Beneficence, Non-maleficence, Autonomy, Justice,...

  14. The culture of silence and police brutality

    GoodNP replied to rebeccaUTA's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses and police are both in positions of power over vulnerable populations. Power corrupts. Can't count the number of times I've seen a nurse on a power trip. So yes, there are similarities between...

  15. ANCC FNP exam: My experience

    GoodNP posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Today I took and passed the ANCC FNP exam and wanted to share my experience while it is still fresh: First, although the process of submitting the online application was quite simple, it took 7 weeks...

  16. NP's how are you these days?

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

    Eleven frontline employees in my clinic furloughed yesterday. Heard the hospital group I work for has laid off 15 providers in my city. But, we have surgical masks

  17. COVID-19: Dangerous Conspiracy Theories In Government

    GoodNP replied to Cal RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've seen these posts on Twitter, and I agree, you can't tell what's going on inside the hospital based on an empty parking lot. The thing is, even here on this forum, there are many nurses reporting...

  18. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    GoodNP replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

  19. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    GoodNP replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To those whose hospitals say they are not allowed to wear masks: Wear one anyway, even if you have to furnish your own. If you are disciplined/fired/whatever, call the news. And a lawyer. Perhaps I'm...

  20. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    GoodNP replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Amen to this. I'm sick of the uber-wealthy preaching at us in general, but especially right now. A few have made donations - but at such a tiny percentage of their net worth. There are billionaires...

    GoodNP replied to 42pines's topic in Disaster Preparation

  22. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    GoodNP replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wish I had adequate PPE. The death rate in my age group is 0.25%. If I had no mask at all, I would willingly strap on a bandana and take care of a patient who would likely otherwise

  23. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    GoodNP replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you are referring to yourself, please do not come back from retirement unless you're going to work phone triage or something like that. You have done your part and we thank you

  24. Considering Quitting my Job

    GoodNP replied to Marianna5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The point I was trying to make is that in the beginning, PPE shouldn't have been treated as if they were neverending breadsticks at Olive

  25. NP's how are you these days?

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