1. Parents wanting MD

   BeachFNP replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced Practice

   Our scheduler is trained to explain to people who they will be seeing when they come for an appt. this is usually only an issue with new patients, because once they are seen they prefer to stay with...

2. New Staff Orientation

   BeachFNP replied to Bluem67's topic in General Nursing

   I would definitely bring up your concerns to the supervisor. She is probably going to need a much longer orientation then they thought. I used to orient all the time so I get the frustration. My main...

3. Parents wanting MD

   BeachFNP replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced Practice

   I get this occasionally. Mostly it's a sideways glance and a "is the doctor coming in?" If it's his day here I just hand them over to him and he is totally fine with it. Most of the time they turn out...

4. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

   BeachFNP replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not offended- I actually thought the same thing when I wrote it. Honestly- in all the codes I was involved in we never had to actually wait more than maybe 2-3 mins for a dr, np, or pa to show up....

5. Who prescribes for themselves or family

   BeachFNP replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

   This is an interesting discussion. I only rarely prescribe for family/ friends. And I mean rarely. I have done a controlled substance ONCE for a friend who was having intense anxiety issues- but- told...

6. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

   BeachFNP replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

   And just to add... When I say "when I used my ACLS" I meant in a capacity as an RN. I'm currently an FNP but not in a hospital

7. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

   BeachFNP replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

   When I responded I was simply letting OP know what part of that scenario would have bothered me personally. I have ACLS training myself and know what it's for. I was just saying that I would have felt...

8. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

   BeachFNP replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

   Personally I would be the most worried that I gave epi without an order, even with ACLS training. If they were carrying epi on a plane who would be the person trained in administering it?? I guess I...

9. Adjunct Professor?

   BeachFNP replied to BeachFNP's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   That sounds like a really good idea. Thanks for this

10. Adjunct Professor?

    BeachFNP replied to BeachFNP's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks. That's helpful! I'm relatively young (28) but I don't plan on working this much at my current job in a few years. I'm thinking getting my foot in the door this way would be nice to pull in...

11. Adjunct Professor?

    BeachFNP replied to BeachFNP's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It's all online. It's turned in through the schools online blackboard system- so yes, I'm thinking quite a bit of time on there, plus emailing and discussing things with students. I hadn't thought...

12. New NP-Negotiating a Salary

    BeachFNP replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    True- I hadn't really thought about that. None of the other NPs I work with work full time either (all by choice). So I never really equated what I make with a full time gig. I guess it makes sense...

13. Adjunct Professor?

    BeachFNP replied to BeachFNP's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks! I appreciate the response. I know for a fact I would not have any office hours or need to come up with teaching plans. Like I said, I'll be a clinical visitor. So I'm basically given a rubric...

    BeachFNP replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's awesome! I wish I made that much. lol We are a 3 office practice in a pretty rural area. We are pretty much the only specialty like this in the area, however it's not exactly like patients are...
