  1. Pinning ceremony

    lhflanurseNP replied to nursingfornurses's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Mine does a pinning and hooding. I could care a less about the pinning...did that when I got my RN years ago, but the hooding is unique to the graduate

  2. Massachusetts and NP restriction

    lhflanurseNP replied to gospa's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can go the AANP website and look at the individual state policies here: AANP - State Practice Environment. Another excellent resource is through Barton Associates here: Nurse Practitioner Scope...

    lhflanurseNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a Medicare patient with a heart rate of 44 with complaint of sleep apnea and some light-headedness, as well as loss of sexual performance. I am thinking that this could be tied to a further...

    lhflanurseNP replied to lhflanurseNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As an update. Patient notified me that he saw the cardiologist and is currently doing a 30-day monitor! Go figure...just glad he is being attended to properly

  5. Medicare Reimbursement for 30-day Cardiac Monitoring

    lhflanurseNP replied to lhflanurseNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This patient is quite active and the only reason I am thinking there is a connection is his sleep apnea and slower heart rate. He saw a cardiologist about a year ago and, according to the patient, is...

  7. First Internal Medicine Job-Feel like I don't know anything

    lhflanurseNP replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Perservere. Your confidence is most likely diminished from the absence of working for all this time. You may want to do some refresher study with a board review to help you

  8. Feeling like this is too good to be true?

    lhflanurseNP replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just a matter of days. Give the manager a time frame..."I need to have all the paperwork turned in as soon as possible, can I stop by X day and pick up the signed form"? They will get it done so...

    lhflanurseNP replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My first arranged sites fell through for reasons WAY beyond my control. My women's health preceptor decided it was now time to retire after having to have some surgery. One of my general sites'...

    lhflanurseNP replied to nccunurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did not find the questions were similar, but the information you learn will help you evaluate the exam question and select the appropriate answer. This exam is not a "oh, I saw this question" type...

  12. Feeling like this is too good to be true?

    lhflanurseNP replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My experience was somewhat similar. I had all my sites lined up when I started, then things happened to all my "preferred" sites. When I went out to find my first site, I was very lucky to get into...

  14. Chiropractor Looking to Start Nursing School

    lhflanurseNP replied to crimsonsky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are quite correct. Florida does not allow NP autonomy, nor does it allow NPs to write controlled prescriptions (currently the only state that does not). I do not see this changing anytime soon...

  18. FNP or DNP?

    lhflanurseNP replied to Prhodes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe you are a little confused and it is not difficult! The title "FNP" indicates the role, or type of Nurse Practitioner: FNP - Family Nurse Pracititoner, ANP - Adult Nurse Practitioner,...

    lhflanurseNP replied to bitty_byrd's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As you enter the clinical phase of your studies, you will be exposed to the major health needs and you will draw on your pharm and patho education. Digging deeper will give you a better understanding...

  20. AANP study materials?

    lhflanurseNP replied to cecej435's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As anh06005 notes, the APA Q-bank is really good. I would NOT waste time and money on ExamEdge. Hollier and Barkley are also great

    lhflanurseNP replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
