  1. Board of Nursing Complaint

    myoglobin replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    Also there is an attorney/NP in Ohio who has a great Podcast called "The NP Dude" (free on I'Tunes). He will not take cases outside of Ohio. However, he might offer some insight/advice (at least in a...

  2. ANCC EXAM REVIEW TIPS PMHNP exam

    myoglobin replied to MissMemphis05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have replied to this question in a related thread concerning some who failed the ANCC exam. Here are my study interventions in order from the least expensive to the most. I have also included...

  3. Board of Nursing Complaint

    myoglobin replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    Still, I wouldn't call the BON without first consulting with an attorney. One might say something that seems innocent, but which adversely affects their case

  4. How Do You Fit In 30mins Of Exercise In Your Work Day?

    myoglobin replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Having worked night shift for ten years might work day was Friday, Sat. Sunday from 7p-7am. Usually I was home and in bed by 0900 and would get up around 1730. If I worked out on that first day it...

  5. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    I applied to about 50 jobs in California (on Indeed) and all of them said they would need a license "in hand". Conversely, I have had second and third interviews with places in Washington, Oregon,...

  6. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    I excluded California for NP's because getting a license there is pretty much like getting "a second degree". Consider that you must get a California RN license (a process that can take six months...

  7. Transferring NP license

    myoglobin replied to yujinee91's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can get as many NP licenses as you wish to pay for (and keep paying for). A few states like Idaho and Wyoming have reciprocity. Keep in mind that DEA is state by state and costs around $700.00...

  8. Telemedicine NP work?

    myoglobin replied to ToFNPandBeyond's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    1. ForeFront, Faspsych, and Genoa are a few of the larger ones. 2. Most will pay 1099, no benefits but good money. 3. Depending upon the state you may or may not need to be in that state. 4. There...

  9. How to "calm" down autistic pediatric patient?

    myoglobin replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    Again, this is a challenging situation for a variety of reasons including: a. Many of the behavioral patterns were likely already existing when the OP took over. Especially, the reliance on the IPAD....

  10. How to "calm" down autistic pediatric patient?

    myoglobin replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    ASD can be a very challenging condition to treat depending upon the degree of impairment and other factors. It is likely that the "IPAD" was started by the parents before the OP ever came into the...

  11. FNP study tactics

    myoglobin replied to BodyInMotion's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe that Lecturio.com and Uptodate.com provide useful backup for

  12. Board of Nursing Complaint

    myoglobin replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would not provide any written response without an attorney. Not only that but one with experience dealing with the Board of Nursing in your state. Also, contact your malpractice insurance company...

  13. How Do You Fit In 30mins Of Exercise In Your Work Day?

    myoglobin replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree it is often not reasonable to exercise more than maybe some push ups and sit ups for a few minutes on work days. Consider, you start with a 12 hour shift (or maybe longer) a one hour commute...

  14. New PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to Bea Bea's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't believe any program can fully prepare you for the multifaceted experience of actual practice. There is nothing short of "dealing with plethora of patient issues/situations". The same was true...

  15. New Grad FNP offer

    myoglobin replied to NorthBeach's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it is a "borderline" situation. There is an attorney/NP out of Ohio who has a podcast called The NP Dude which touches upon this issue in several podcasts (it is free on Apple Podcasts). You...

  16. Failed PMHNP - need advice please

    myoglobin replied to kp1791's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not certain what you mean in referencing my reference to medical? I did say that Lecturio is designed to help support medical school students throughout their curriculum and is an excellent...

  17. Failed PMHNP - need advice please

    myoglobin replied to kp1791's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would add pocket prep and boardvitals to your game plan. If nothing else the new version in December may prove to be a better

  18. Failed PMHNP - need advice please

    myoglobin replied to kp1791's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Did the score review at least provide insight into your weak

  19. Director wants to change all 12 hr shift nurses to 10 hr!!!!

    myoglobin replied to truejewel82's topic in General Nursing

    This is a horrible idea and only occurs when you have executive who have never been nurses (who have actually worked as nurses on the floor) or even MD's who have worked around nurses. If this policy...

  20. Failed -- unacceptable reason

    myoglobin replied to yolonono's topic in General Students

    Your question assumes at least a basic level of "due process" that may or may not be present. Thus, I had several exams where we could not even compare our answers to the correct answers (this was...

  21. Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

    myoglobin replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    Being an NP has good potential opportunities (depending upon where I work) it's just that most of them revolve around eight hour shifts (a few offer 10 hour shifts which is vastly better). My main...

  22. Quitting HCA after 5 months

    myoglobin replied to Mlrkc21's topic in General Nursing

    They probably would just "off set" your last paycheck if you gave notice. Seriously though it says something about your "system" when you have to put "cash penalties" in place for leaving even when...

  23. Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

    myoglobin replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have become a PMHNP and all my offers are for 5 day/8 hours shifts. Thus, it is perhaps ironic that I will be forced to embrace the very thing that I have argued so vehemently against. I do...

  24. Quitting HCA after 5 months

    myoglobin replied to Mlrkc21's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked for HCA for almost ten years and met some of the finest individuals I have ever known. However, their capacity for human exploitation upon the altar of profit Is virtually unequaled....

  25. Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

    myoglobin replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I forgot to include the "and now my day is ruined" factor. That is to say even seeing the sight of my hospital let along actually entering the facility pretty much ruins my entire day (having...
