thinbluelineRN MSN, NP

Sure but I did not do the DNP program and I graduated 5 years ago so don't know how many changes have been made since than.

I work in Occupational medicine with in a restricted state and handle all the day to day patients myself. Treat, refer, diagnose, medications etc. My supervising physician comes in once a week and may see one or two patients but he does not look over...

So the way I understand it is we will need three years of supervision or 4600 hours and then to own something of our own, another 3 years in business. SO really we have 6 years of practice to own our own practice- how is that FPA? The nine member adv...

I work at an on site occ med clinic so billing is only on paper. My services are paid for in advance for the contractual period- hope that makes sense. There are billing levels built into our software that goes by the size of the laceration rep...

Not at all. In fact I started off higher than most of my classmates who got jobs in primary care and work their buts off! I have also gotten a raise every year for the last two years. My situation is unique since I am based inside a large food manuf...

I'm sorry that you feel this way. Please do get medically checked (rule our Thyroid) and great that you are taking a trip. This will clear your min. No job should drive you to anxiety and depression. There are many other nursing avenues which are not...

My daily tasks these days in a lot of COVID tests and signing off on them. But generally we do a lot of pre employment physicals, Department of Transportation medical clearances, work injuries- which pretty much include any body part and mostly muscu...

I'm so sorry for what you went through, I hope you continue to recover. And you are a great writer- you should seriously consider this path.

Is it possible you were exposed to COVID and didn't know about it? Hence your "1st" vaccine is essentially giving you an immune response like a 2nd vaccine? Just something to think about. I has 103 fever with my first vaccine, bodyaches, fatigue...

This. Mine brings Dr. Seuss books on the days he's physically here with me and reads it our loud!! But honestly he is awesome- he does not look over my shoulder, has taught me a lot and has never once been unprofessional. He treats me like an equal ...

May I suggest counseling?

I suture, do all joint injections and I & Ds. I was taught joint injections by my supervising physician. I work in occupational medicine and we do joint injections quite frequently. I was also taught how to graft and tie over bolsters.

Could you perhaps do telemedicine in psych?

Wanted to get your thoughts on AB890. Here is a response from AANP. The California Assembly voted to advance Assembly Bill 890 (AB 890) to the Senate on Tuesday, January 28. AANP has very serious concerns about the effects the bill would have on NP p...

Not at all- I started off as a new grad and am almost finishing up my 18 months! We have plenty of clinics in New Jersey!!

If you work at one of our centers it is 8-5pm Monday through Friday with no weekends, and no calls. If you work at an onsite clinic (meaning you are based at a company as a contractor but work for Concentra) your hours are basically defined inth...

Now this is what I'd like to know as well:)

I work for Concentra- They are an occupational medicine/urgent care company. I currently work as an occupational health NP and love my job. I believe they are in New York as well. Check them out. PM me for any questions.

How about teaching?

A good friend of mine is attending the PMHNP program at John Hopkins and she loves it. There is also a program at Univeristy of Cincinnati and at George Washington - I don't know the associated costs- though I imagine GW probably costs a lot. Goodlu...

Yes it is. It was one of the first school to offer midwifrey and I beleive thye have been around since the 1930s/1940s.

In the Central Valley of California- YES!! I don't live in Bakersfield but live further up north ( Merced) and there is always a shortage of FNPs in the Central Valley. I don't specifically know about your school but I do have a friend who graduated ...

When you get your MSN you can pick the FNP track. Generally when you do your MSN you have to pick a track, education, clinical nurse specialist, nurse midwife, ACNP, AGNP, FNP etc... Goodluck with your future endeavors.

Yes I count my blessings. Also living in the central valley of California helps as well. Goodluck with your job search and interview.

yes I think I am in a unique role therefore so many interviews. Most of my classmates had two interviews and were done. I actually interview really well because I always feel like I have options ( to do other things besides being a RN or NP- I used t...
