    Collaborating physician problems

    SlyFoxRN replied to Othernothing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd start looking elsewhere. That isn't a supportive environment. I'm not an NP, but I read these boards frequently and many people share their work stories. From what I've seen, you're arrangement is...

    Accepted to the first school I interviewed at, but still interviewing at others

    SlyFoxRN replied to BlondieRN0912's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It makes you more desirable. Shows them that another school wants you and you clearly have what it takes to go to CRNA school. If the other school is a peer/higher ranked program, it looks good on...

    Cringe worthy follow up Note

    SlyFoxRN replied to MrChicagoRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No no no, my point in bringing up the power thing is just to give an example of the worst case scenario. Whether he is in dire straits or not is a moot point. I simply take issue with the way human...

    Now see how you people behave? First, when did I ever say anything about taking care not mattering? Obviously we should all take great care in presenting ourselves professionally, so I would thank you...

    Cringe worthy follow up Note

    SlyFoxRN replied to MrChicagoRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Correcting someone and not hiring them are two completely different things. I fail to see the correlation. My point is, I'm just sick of this stuck up attitude regarding everything humans have to do...

    SlyFoxRN replied to MrChicagoRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hm, I wonder why that happened. Perhaps he wrote it on a phone or iPad and didn't realize autocap wasn't on? I don't know. I can't think of an excuse for it, but it always saddens me when people judge...

    ICU NP hours, salary, program info

    SlyFoxRN replied to CNogues's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, as a pre-NP, I can't give you that info but I can at least tell you for me personally why I would never want that position. Perhaps it might be similar to what other NPs think and explain the...

    SlyFoxRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Angelfire - I read your previous post too about being locked in a room due to the irate patient.. Let me tell you something - this is ABSOLUTELY jealousy. The office manager is jealous that she cannot...

    Dermatology vs Retail Health????

    SlyFoxRN replied to MedVision's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you think you can be happy and secure financially with the 10K less pay, do the dermatology. If you feel you would be happier with the extra 10K, go into retail health and then move on to...

    Did I make a mistake doing FNP?

    SlyFoxRN replied to phieud's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It also depends on your area. If you have a need for NPs hospital will be easier. If you're in a major city or Cali or NY it will be harder because nPs are oversaturated

    Did I make a mistake doing FNP?

    SlyFoxRN replied to phieud's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    With the consensus model, yes, they are moving towards FNPs staying out of the hospital role and being mainly outpatient primary care providers. There are still some FNPs working in hospital roles,...

    Taking away chairs from nursing station

    SlyFoxRN replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Whether or not it is positive doesn't matter. It's the respect issue. No profession should be treated in such a way that they can have thwir chairs removed. That's very unprofessional and something I...

    Taking away chairs from nursing station

    SlyFoxRN replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Absolutely ridiculous. Anyone at a facility that does this should call their union or file a formal complaint with the labor board. No other professional would be treated like this. NURSES ARE NOT...

    SlyFoxRN replied to Esnooopy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Online NP schools that accept MA residents

    SlyFoxRN replied to nightnurse279's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's not that you cannot be approved to practice in MA - it has nothing to do with the BON, at least in New York. Essentially, the board of education has decided that an online program is practicing...

    SlyFoxRN replied to lovenursingRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNP online? and questions about becoming NP

    SlyFoxRN replied to lovenursingRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Likely conpletely oversaturated. Even now there are NPs unable to find jobs. So many of the people going into nursing all going on to be NPs and there are many less NP jobs than RN jobs - do the math....

    If he co-owns the practice, there's nothing you can do. He's clearly egotistical and has no respect for nurses, and he doesn't like that one embarrassed him like that. He's a coward, and rather than...
