  1. Is Advaced Practice For Me?

    casias12 replied to hayleygoff's topic in Advanced Practice

    Probably not. At least at this

  2. Negotiate or walk?

    casias12 replied to jaznia15's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks for updating this thread. Like you said, so many people come on here with a problem, then disappear without letting everyone know what the resolution is. But I will add a counter-point to the...

  3. Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    casias12 replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    That. And for those of us not affiliated with anyone, I think it is or obligation to refuse to participate in this. It's not a matter of remember how you started, give someone else a chance”,...

  4. New FNP Grad Gone Cardiac EP Specialty

    casias12 replied to sweetmissdixie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Reach out to any of the reps, from any of the companies. They will be happy to provide you with vast knowledge, and usually really good food,

  5. Florida ARNP's OPIOID PRESCRIBING

    casias12 posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Summary: HB 423 passed in Florida this year, and will allow for precribing controlled substances by ARNP/PA's in Florida beginning January 1, 2017. While it includes all scheduled drugs, my question...

  6. Florida ARNP's OPIOID PRESCRIBING

    casias12 replied to casias12's topic in Advanced Practice

    It has been a challenge to get this discussion going on this forum. I don't come to this forum often, but so far, the discussion has been lame at best. Maybe there aren't any NP's in Florida how visit...

  7. Florida ARNP's OPIOID PRESCRIBING

    casias12 replied to casias12's topic in Advanced Practice

    You really don't want to read my first post, do you. Your like someone who looks up halfway through a meeting and asks a question that was already addressed. Go back to texting or whatever you were...

  8. Florida ARNP's OPIOID PRESCRIBING

    casias12 replied to casias12's topic in Advanced Practice

    Guess you didn't read my first post. Hmm. I've never seen a quantity limit in Florida, just the rules that I stated in my previous post. Gotcha. Still trying to figure out your first response....

  9. Florida ARNP's OPIOID PRESCRIBING

    casias12 replied to casias12's topic in Advanced Practice

    Guess you didn't read my first post. I just went to one. It was total garbage, full of misinformation and not state specific. Total waste of a day and $200. State-specific rules are, state-specific....

  10. My professor told us NPs have no future...

    casias12 replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am saddened by our profession, but see the truth in what you say. Recently, I started a second job being paid to see patients on a per-visit basis. Set your own hours, work as much or as little as...

  11. My professor told us NPs have no future...

    casias12 replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    While I agree with this in theory, in practice it just doesn't work. Witness the number of new NP's that come on here on a daily basis to whine about not being prepared”, doing poorly at their...

  12. Florida ARNP's OPIOID PRESCRIBING

    casias12 replied to casias12's topic in Advanced Practice

    Not yet. I can get it in January. 15 what? 240 what? That doesn't make any sense. Each state governs prescribing practice. In Florida, MD's have to write a paper script for up to 30 days at a time...

  13. Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    casias12 replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    You missed the point. The school doesn't care. They could care less about how you get your hours, and from whom. NP's, on the other hand, like myself, won't consider being a preceptor anymore because...

  14. Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    casias12 replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    Reading this parting statement in your post leads me to believe you didn't learn a thing about your new profession. Physicians and other clinicians have always had to "network", in order to be...

  15. My professor told us NPs have no future...

    casias12 replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with the others. While I am bothered by the rapid increase in online diploma-mill NP's, and the number or "RN's" who work about a month before going back for NP because they don't want to wipe...

  16. Florida ARNP's OPIOID PRESCRIBING

    casias12 replied to casias12's topic in Advanced Practice

    I've never tried to get opioids from a physician, so I don't know what it is like. But I do know many physicians who prescribe regularly, even for chronic non-malignant pain. That being said, a...

  17. Online vs Traditional NP school

    casias12 replied to Retired APRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I graduated from an online program that was supported through a large university nursing program. The adjunct professors were ad-junk. The bulk of the courses were online forum questions, pitting...

  18. Home hospice salary

    casias12 replied to oceanlovingNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Depending on the hospice you work for, you will get a solid understanding of primary care medicine in hospice, in a short period of time. The upside of learning, unfortunately, is a high turnover in...

  19. Denied Hospital Privileges

    casias12 replied to ADJ2016's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Just thinking about this causes me to have chest pain. What an awful situation. I am sorry. Since this is pretty important to you, and it sounds like you don't have many options. Find an employment...

  20. Home hospice salary

    casias12 replied to oceanlovingNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Hospice will likely want to pay 85k average, unless you have really strong experience with end-of-life care as an RN. Then, maybe 90k. Again, this is average. As I understand it, Texas has no limit...

  21. Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    casias12 replied to husky171's topic in Advanced Practice

    I know this is a really old thread brought to the surface by a recent comment, but I think anyone looking to do any type of advanced nursing degree should read this thread, and read it again. Most...

  22. Tampa ARNP-one yr post grad still no job!

    casias12 replied to Agriffin2's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well, then you should really be dubious of all of the online NP's coming from the internet. You did pay your dues and found the market to be saturated. Unfortunately, at least in Tampa, physicians are...

  23. America, party of 2

    casias12 replied to Cwoods's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    He actually has a reasonable platform to address many concerns of AMERICANS. But you wouldn't know that if you get your news from any of the media outlets. You would have to see him in person (I...

  24. Can an accredited NP work as an RN (in scope) in Ohio?

    casias12 replied to Iconic's topic in Advanced Practice

    I only have one license in Florida, and I know NP's who work as RN's. But, my understanding is you are only held to the same standard as anyone else in the same position. Example. I know someone who...

  25. New York NP Question

    casias12 replied to shadowness's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just wanted to point out how unprofessional you are, and these comments prove it. Please don't go on a race-to-the bottom with our
