   Thank you all for your responses. I finally got 5 minutes with our office mgr today. She informed me that the CEO had talked with the doc and since the doc sees no problem, they are not going to intervene. I am so mad I could spit right now. I am goi...

5. Need advice

   AutumnBreeze replied to AutumnBreeze's topic in NP

   I have also talked with the MAs personally, and they take no responsibility for their actions. Someone else is always wrong in their eyes. And since the providers aren't really their supervisors,they don't much care what I say. I think I need to tal...

6. Need advice

   I did tell the office manager before Thanksgiving that I was prepared to leave. The problem seems to be that the doc doesn't want these people disciplined. That's the real problem.

    AutumnBreeze replied to AutumnBreeze's topic in Advanced

    I had an interview with the NP supervisor via phone. The current expectation is 14-15 pts daily. That would be in 2 locations about 30 mins apart. She said they expect a 9 hr day, 5 days a week. That doesn't worry me but it also sounds like the NP is...

11. Any dual-certified NPs/APNs? What about the number of practice hours for each???

    AutumnBreeze replied to traumaRUs's topic in NP

    I just became double certified in May, so I don't have a good answer for this. However,since both my certs are for adults (acnp and gnp), I don't anticipate a problem. Hope I'm right. And, as the poster above, I paid for everything myself and got no ...
