  1. DEA in each state

    NPOaftermidnight replied to PsychNP82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Most employers will cover your DEA fees. You definitely to have a DEA license in the state you’re prescribing in, not sure how it works if you’re practicing in two states, but I will say the DEA...

  2. Acute Care NP to Adult primary care

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Sun1's topic in Advanced Practice

    Primary care would be out of scope for an acute care NP. However, I know plenty of FNPs working in acute care so

  3. Schedule II Meds

    NPOaftermidnight replied to DrCOVID's topic in Advanced Practice

    What kind of setting are you working in? If you don't feel a medication is indicated and you don't feel comfortable prescribing it, don't! Think they're just going to get it elsewhere? Great, let...

  4. Dream job . . . but it's night shift

    NPOaftermidnight replied to lissy1214's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Take it! You don't have to do nights forever - an opportunity for day shift will come along

  5. Medication Error During A Code

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Nursethoughts123's topic in General Nursing

    I remember so well what it was like as a new nurse in the ICU, I feel your pain! But the good news is that you are going to be a better nurse because of this. Mistakes were made on multiple levels...

  6. Quitting New Grad Residency for NP program

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Nurseanya's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you want to do pediatrics, I would put the residency program as your priority right now. Depending on the NP job market where you live, you are not likely to find a good job with virtually no...

  7. When did you know what you wanted to do?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Nueticles's topic in General Specialties

    I've been in nursing for 8 years and I still am not sure what I want to do. That's the best part about nursing - there's so much flexibility and so many different areas you can go into, there's no...

  8. Starting FNP Program, HELP!

    NPOaftermidnight replied to ENTTriageRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had to find my own preceptors in school. I worked for a large teaching hospital so I used the employee directory to find NPs and contact them. They were all supportive and happy to help!...

  9. FNP to WHNP?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to stitchli815's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello! I’m an FNP working in OBGYN. Our practice actually prefers FNPs because they find them better suited to address all of our patients’ concerns, as many of our younger patients don’t see a...

  10. RN to BSN To MSN or RN to MSN

    NPOaftermidnight replied to isisha's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You don’t need a BSN. If it saves you time, go right to MSN. I had a BS in sociology, then went for my AS in nursing, then did an RN-MSN program. No one has ever cared that I don’t have a

  11. California NPF Requirements

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Kirby1771's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello! Congrats on passing your boards! I moved to CA from NY last year. Despite going to a solid NP Program with a 3-credit pharm class, I still didn’t meet CA requirements for prescribing schedule...

  12. Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to JDougRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Seriously? We should be so grateful for the nurses that are taking these risks. They deserve that money regardless of what their reasons

  13. COVID-19: How Can Inactive Nurses Help?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to 1LPN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe my experience is not representative, but I don't think most facilities have a "plethora" of nurses out of work for disciplinary actions. Anywhere I've worked it was very difficult to be...

  14. Silicon Valley/Bay Area NP jobs/salaries

    NPOaftermidnight posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I posted this on the California board bug hoping to reach a broader audience here! My family is moving to the Menlo Park area next month for my husband’s job. I’m an FNP currently working in...

  15. Training for new NP's

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Nichole's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I started in a private peds office, I had never done peds before except in clinical. I got about 6wks working one on one with another NP before I was out on my

  16. Silicon Valley NP jobs/salaries

    NPOaftermidnight posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hi everyone! My family is moving to the Menlo Park area next month for my husband’s job. I’m an FNP currently working in pediatrics but I have adult experience as well so I’m looking at a...

  17. Tele strips in ICU

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Jaenic's topic in Critical Care

    Every 8

  18. Can I work in OB/GYN as a FNP?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to JennaSnow's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lots of FNPs work in women's health. You say you are just graduating nursing school, so you have plenty of time to get a little experience and see what you like first. The FNP will leave you with a...

  19. Hurricane Irma and guilty conscience......help me!!

    NPOaftermidnight replied to HospiceRN4God's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If it doesn't work out, you will have opportunities for more jobs in the future. You only have one mother. You did the right thing. I would have made the same decision in a second and I hope that my...

  20. Having issues with being a "babyfaced" nurse.

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Ash2016's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think that your looking young is the main issue here. The patient was wrong to speak to you the way that she did, but this is going to happen. If the worst thing a patient does to you...

  21. Is Haloperidol Lactate (short acting) INJECTION administered in ICU

    NPOaftermidnight replied to 2Bee's topic in Critical Care

    I have used Haldol in the ICU (rarely) but never for these

  22. Family videotaping patient care

    NPOaftermidnight replied to freckles23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You handled the situation just fine. You can't win them all! Think of it as a blessing that you don't have to work with this family again - she did you a favor by firing you. And like someone else...

  23. CCRN

    NPOaftermidnight replied to FNPhopefull's topic in Critical Care

    It has been a couple years since I took the exam, but I mainly used the Gasparis DVDs/book and I could have easily passed had I studied nothing else. I found it a lot easier than NCLEX, while the...

  24. Pushing metoprolol IV w/o tele..?

    NPOaftermidnight replied to Joanie49's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I would absolutely not, regardless of the clinical picture. Your instincts were correct. In my hospital, even in the ICU, we only push metoprolol in an emergency (they must be on the monitor and a...

  25. Female catheterization with possible retained tampon

    NPOaftermidnight replied to heatherrn1234's topic in Medical-Surgical

    No. Women do NOT menstruate when pregnant (I can't believe I just typed out that sentence. On a nursing forum ). Can you have bleeding/spotting during pregnancy? Absolutely, but it is NOT menstruation...
