  1. Middle Tennessee has no Midlevel jobs

    Neuro Guy NP replied to momofm1998's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't see anything wrong with writing "OB/GYN NP". It's just announcing the specialty. It's no different than advertising that you're looking for A Neurology NP for your hospital or practice....

  2. Scope of Practice

    Neuro Guy NP replied to CentralNJ's topic in Advanced Practice

    NJ is one of the states in which I practice. The state doesn't maintain a list of procedures you can or cannot do. It's all about what you've been adequately trained to do. Laws can't keep up with the...

  3. Shame on you ANCC : Psych CNS: Don't precept Psych NP's

    Neuro Guy NP replied to dmarie82's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I don't follow many of the points made here. Maybe it's just me, but several things here could use some

  4. Starting own NP practice

    Neuro Guy NP replied to MsMeliss83's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not in Delaware or New York. For New Jersey, a collaborator is required if you prescribe, but in our model we make recommendations only, and thus we don't practice with collaborative agreement. That...

  5. Shame on you ANCC : Psych CNS: Don't precept Psych NP's

    Neuro Guy NP replied to dmarie82's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Well then that makes two of us. Or four, I guess actually from what I've read. I've tried to wrap my mind around it, but it just won't go ??. I've seen a CNS in an educator role but then wondered why...

  6. What are the low stress nurse practitioner jobs

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Azureshunter's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know money is not everything, but when I hear "low stress" I also hear "low salary". Think about that. Because if not, then you'll be writing a post about "low salary" and how that can be remedied....

  7. NP Wikipedia Article

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Riburn3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can anyone please edit it? Or get it removed or something? I too saw that and was irked because it is "fake news" but alas, it ain't as easy to edit things on Wikipedia anymore and it won't let

  8. Would you take this job as a new gad?

    Neuro Guy NP replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ditto, don't compare the residency position to a regular staff NP position. And as far as scheduling, depending on the specialty (for example something inpatient), yes, you will be doing odd hours,...

  9. Nurse Practitioner Residencies

    Neuro Guy NP replied to JuiceBoxHero's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, not out in California, though that sounds like a fun location! I did a year in stroke, then a year in

  10. Physician Assistants now have FPA

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I somehow doubt all this will be a nationwide trend as with APRNs. There just isn't the discussion going on within that profession for it, at least not that I have

  11. Starting own NP practice

    Neuro Guy NP replied to MsMeliss83's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went into business as a part focusing on delivering specialty care to Nursing home patients. While I don't see patients clinically except occasionally, I do have employees in my division of the...

  12. Massachusetts NPs - A License Question!

    Neuro Guy NP replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You do not need a job to get an NPI

  13. NP Fellowship program at Emory Hospital Atlanta

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Dinma123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not very high. Fellowships usually pay the same as physician senior residents' salaries so you're probably looking at 50-55K plus benefits and PTO. The real benefit comes after completion of the...

  14. The urban legend of license loss

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Likely. I'm not a fan of being able to read the detailed reports the Board writes. It's bad enough that something happened and I'd imagine it would be hard to get a job. It's similar to a criminal...

  15. NP Fellowship experience

    Neuro Guy NP replied to NPfellow123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't actively discourage fellowships as most I know are quite good. One program doesn't reflect badly on the experience in its totality. I know mine was tremendously helpful, especially in this...

  16. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    Neuro Guy NP replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    This has been said so many times, but isn't so. You're employed as an RN so no prescriptive authority because that's not how you're employed. If you were able to be held to the NP scope as you affirm,...

  17. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    Neuro Guy NP replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree with others. Just let it go. It won't be pertinent anymore. Don't buy into the mantra some preach that's it's necessary. If you want to do it because it's your passion, go right ahead. After...

  18. Nurse Practitioner Residencies

    Neuro Guy NP replied to JuiceBoxHero's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree. Even for physicians not all programs are good. Same applies to us. I did my research and was pleased and proceeded. If your program is at a renowned institution, you're likely fine. I would...

  19. Nurse Practitioner Residencies

    Neuro Guy NP replied to JuiceBoxHero's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I applied to a few. I got accepted into a pulmonary/critical care one but chose neuro. I moved several states to do the program. Licensing in my state was terribly slow but it worked out eventually....

  20. Nurse Practitioner Residencies

    Neuro Guy NP replied to JuiceBoxHero's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Darn typos! Maybe I should quit responding from my cell phone

  21. Nurse Practitioner Residencies

    Neuro Guy NP replied to JuiceBoxHero's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I completed one in Vascular Neurology and Neurocritical Care. Incised lectures during the week, clinical immersion, and rotations through neuro ICU and other ICUs, stroke, ER, and made me more...

  22. Contract Penalty fee $30,000

    Neuro Guy NP replied to nurselove757's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Even so, this is a very demanding thing to put in contract, and not it isn't very common. I spoke about this with several individuals, MD, NP, and PA. No one I know, including some fellow faculty...

  23. Switching offices

    Neuro Guy NP replied to orangepink's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Put your foot down and say no. You were there first, so that ought to count for something. If they'll treat you like this for something on the smaller scale, it won't stop there. Believe me when I...

  24. Second Thoughts on leaving Bedside for NP role

    Neuro Guy NP replied to Babyboss 19's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll be honest here. I've never seen a primary care NP job that paid anything. That's the real problem in my book. Plus your location. I agree inpatient is best. There aren't that many acute care PNPs...

  25. NP role in a code

    Neuro Guy NP replied to NickB's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well there does come a point that the patient isn't responding to treatment. Can't expect to run the code indefinitely so there comes a reasonable point at which you abort. That's that. Now in the...
