   Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Additionally, you incorrectly mentioned earlier that it depends on what the FNP’s attending can do - this is not correct for the APRN scope: ”APRN scope is not determined by the setting...

   Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Keep in mind I work with argumentative, irrational people every day - your laughing emojis don’t faze me, but if you read my post, you could see I wrote, “grab an SSRI and a referral.” I...

   Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   First off, “stable” means you’re not changing anything. You continue to prescribe the medication they’re already being prescribed, likely by psych. If they’re stable and saying depressed,...

   Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   FYI from my state board: ”APRN scope is not determined by the setting in which the APRN practices. The focus is on what it is the APRN is doing – what care are they providing and what care...

5. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

   Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I agree. It’s frustrating to hear that an FNP *has* to do something because of rural setting or lack of providers or appointments or whatever. Telepsych makes accessing a psych provider so much...

   Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Again - don’t get advice about your license and scope from someone online. Go to your state BON. When they sent this to me a gazillion years ago, it was the same as it is now. If your competencies...

7. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

   Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   This should be something we all know and defend - patient safety and your license should be paramount and going off of the “opinion” of some rando poster who claims to be a physician and an FNP is...

8. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

   Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Again, not sure why a physician is on a nursing board arguing about what an APRN’s SOP is, but here’s more information on the subject....

9. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

   Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   You are arguing with the state BON SOP. Write a letter with your disagreements. However, you’re giving bad advice telling a FNP to put herself in a position where their license is at stake. Turf has...

10. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

    Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I’m going to disagree. It is outside of an FNP’s scope to treat psychiatric disorders outside of stable anxiety and depression. Period. Please refer to the Ohio.gov article I shared. There is also...

11. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

    Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Again, why does a physician’s opinion have anything to do with this question? It is 100% outside of the FNP’s scope to diagnose and treat beyond STABLE anxiety and depression. I was speaking to...

12. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

    Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    1. Why is a physician on Allnurses? 2. Why is a physician giving their opinion on a nurse practitioner’s SOP? As you said, general medicine training is far different. Additionally, I...

13. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

    Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Did you train on the use of lamictal in FNP school? What are you starting the lamictal for? Are you diagnosing something outside of stable depression and anxiety? If so, that’s outside of an FNP’s...

14. Family nurse practitioner's scope of practice in treating mental illness in primary care in indiana

    Guest603994 replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I could be wrong, but I don’t know of a single state that expands on an FNP’s scope beyond STABLE anxiety and depression with or without a collaborator. Even in states we aren’t fully...

    Hey Elizabeth - I just read your FB post that you’re transferring out of our cohort. So so sorry it’s been such a pain for you. Fingers crossed your next experience is much more
