  1. NP Collaborator

    Yes, having an office staff had nothing to do with the collaborator. The collaborator is there only for your medical decision making, not your business decisions. Business decisions include whom to employ, etc. Do yourself a favor and consult a nurse...
  2. Disagreeing with your supervising doctor

    Agree with above. Also, do yourself a favor and stop using the term mid-level. The quality of care you give is not mid-level, right? You strive to give top notch care according to your training as an APRN, I'm sure. Remind him of the policy and speak...
  3. Medical School Faculty Appointment

    I've held an appointment at a medical school. Taught lecture in the classroom and also clinical teaching as well. It was very fun experience, but I was the only nurse faculty member. I taught in the same fashion as physician faculty in the phase 1 pa...
  4. New York and Kansas

    No, there are 26 U.S. states with FPA PLUS certain U.S. overseas territories with FPA as well. I think that's what you're thinking of with the higher number. Guam is an FPA territory and maybe Northern Mariana Islands I don't think Puerto Rico and A...
  5. Will ENP become a primary certification?

    There are ENP programs at certain schools. They're often labeled 'FNP in Emergency Care' program, though sometimes dual FNP/ACNP. Either way you have dedicated ED rotations plus either family med rotations or ACNP rotations if a dual ACNP program. Ru...
  6. ACUTE CARE NP and private practice

    Yep. People need to familiarize themselves with the consensus model.
  7. NP Fellowships

    I can't help but notice you are posting multiple questions that revolve around the same topics. I think you and I have conversed before about fellowships too. I'd suggest you just do some research on this site and elsewhere. This and several of your ...
  8. Legally, Can I mix RN/NP roles?

    Agree this is absurd. Don't even think about it. And how confusing it must be for fellow staff RNs who can't keep straight what role you're performing in, and now throw in being an RN and NP in same day! Nonsense. Agree with another poster, go get an...
  9. Nurse Practitioner

    Been discussed here multiple times. Do some research by searching the site and you'll find plenty of answers.
  10. How to educate spouse about what I do as an NP?

    I suppose the OP could just start criticizing the wife when she comes home complaining about coworker "xyz" did at the office. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander...... ? of course that may not end well for the OP. But seriously s...
  11. FNP: Transferring states question

    It's $888 as of this renewal cycle ?
  12. Acute Care NPs in California, NEED ADVICE.

    I'd say precept with whomever holds the appropriate work experience and willingness to precept. Of course you can do a rotation with a physician. That should never be a question. As for others, keep in mind that ACNPs make up only about 7% or so of t...
  13. NJ APRN license

    They take a long time. Trust me, I know as I'm also licensed there. It's a chronically understaffed board, from the board members themselves (several vacancies) down to lack of administrative staff. It doesn't help that when you call you aren't actua...
  14. AGACNP- new grad- starting in hospice?

    It would seem to me that marketability might suffer a bit starting in Hospice. Your skills and knowledge managing acute medical issues and working them up will atrophy because your focus in hospice isn't aggressive medical care, "just" promotion of c...
  15. Surgical NPs—Progress Note question adding attending?

    Depends in hospital bylaws, which usually covers this. It also depends on whether you're credentialed to bill and if the hospital wants to collect 100% by having the surgeon write an addendum documenting his participation in the patient's care. Other...
