  4. Earning potential

    It sounds as if he is talking about fee for service. You bill for your own procedures in the ER. Some places do this if for instance, you have a group of NPs that contract to cover the ER. It is very...
  5. What would you do? Advice Needed

    Simply not true. Show me medical schools that take PAs as "direct entry". LOL Maybe you could call the AMA and give them your solution because I have heard nothing about it from any reputable source,...
  6. I received an recruitment email from Delta Healthcare Providers. I replied and ask that the recruited please address me by my title in the future. I think we deserve professional respect. I was nice...
  7. I do ESIs and joint injections. Some of my colleagues offer full service pain service. No practice agreement needed as I am in an independent practice state. 2. Normal billing just as you would for...

    As you are likely aware, in accordance with the Budget Control Act of 2011, a series of spending cuts, called sequestration, will cancel approximately $85 billion in Federal budgetary resources for...
  9. Loan Repayment-National Health Service Corps

    Once you are approved, it is very easy. Every 6 months you send in a verification. Mine is for two
  10. NP..How do pts adress you?

    Per our (NP) professional organizations. It seems that they ALL support the use of Dr. in the clinical setting. I've found that by introducing yourself as Dr. xxx, a nurse practitioner, it opens the...
  11. NP..How do pts adress you?

    I'm curious but just a couple of days ago you posted this. If you finished your program, congrats. Just curious if anyone out there has done a few specialty hours in like the ED or ortho and just...
  12. NP..How do pts adress you?

    I introduce myself as Dr. xxx, a nurse practitioner. Many times it opens up an educational opportunity to discuss NPs with the patient. We also have a large sign posted in the waiting room that tells...
  13. NPs ever have to take call?

    I take ER call one day per week at the
  14. Nurses truly are our own worst enemy. Bet, I do the SAME job as a physician and I DO get the same pay. Imagine that. The rest is not even worth responding too. The post reeks of
  15. We are not talking about NPs with masters degrees. Please re-read the OP. Really? Once again, please become an NP so you at least understand the basics. Your replies show that you have no clue about...
  16. 1. Become a NP first. Until you do your opinion does not count for much. No offense intended. 2. NPs ARE called Dr. In the clinical setting. Not sure where you got this all encompassing erroneous...
  17. You may consider it whining while I consider it defending our practice and furthering the NP cause. It is why I whine to get full staff membership and whine to get the practice privileges NP deserve....
  18. First, the non NPs, don't bother replying. No offense but your opinion does not mean much. For the others, you are sadly missing the point. The point is the snarky response to my polite request. The...
  19. Well, I have to admit that Delta contacted me and did the right thing. You can't blame one person for the company. Delta was very nice and I have to retract what I said about the company. Just don't...
  20. One more note. I posted this not because of the initial emails. I posted it because of the recruiters attitude when politely asked to address me differently. It would have been better to have even...
  21. Once again, stay on topic. It's has nothing to do with out of work people. What you fail to grasp is that we need to fight for our profession, not sit back and cruise. You might not realize it but we...
  22. Your reply struggles with logic. It has nothing to do with working for delta. It has everything to do with them calling me By my first name. When I politely ask to be called by my title, the recruiter...
  23. LOL, I believe in standing up for our profession. I believe in being professional. Do you think that is hinders the NP cause by we NPs calling physicians Dr. And they calling us by our first name? Do...
