  1. Girl in my cohort is cheating

    lhflanurseNP replied to KitKat2019's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It "seems" that your cohort is looking to develop a "bond". She may be very insecure and sees you as a mentor but is approaching things the wrong way. She may not feel that she was "cheating", but...

  2. Aesthetic advice

    lhflanurseNP replied to Danielakcardozo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have known RNs who went on to get an aesthetician's license and are "practicing". Most work in salon's, some work in various doctor's offices (not necessarily a dermatology one), and some have...

  3. Appropriate amount of notice

    lhflanurseNP replied to NP75's topic in Advanced Practice

    You do not mention how long you have worked there nor your patient base. Do you see repetitive patients or do you work as a group (first come first serve). This could have a bearing on length of...

  4. Pharmacology

    lhflanurseNP replied to KSjo88's topic in General Students

    I would not go alone. Try to get some of your classmates who are in the same boat. There is safety as well support and reinforcement in numbers. If you go by yourself and relate the same info...you...

  5. Pharmacology

    lhflanurseNP replied to KSjo88's topic in General Students

    If, as you say, "So difficult in fact that half the class is failing", then your class should ask to speak to an academic adviser or the assistant dean. During one of my classes, I remember we were...

  6. MSN FNP or MSN Case Management

    lhflanurseNP replied to purplecali's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you can, see about shadowing a NP for a few days to see if this is what you TRULY want. I see so many posts of "I love my job but". What is wrong with getting your MSN in something OTHER than...

  7. New grad discouraged by healthcare system

    lhflanurseNP replied to 12345RNeagle's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that I would tie it to "today's nursing model"...it is the entire healthcare system that is failing. A person with insurance will get an EOB for a thyroid panel of about $800.00, but can...

  8. In a restricted state

    lhflanurseNP replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Have to agree with Jules. Also...not many people are cut out to run their own business...it is HARD! It is much easier to go to work and let someone else take all the responsibility so one can go to...

  9. Alternative/Holistic Medicine NP

    lhflanurseNP replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    True functional medicine is not doing DMEs, trigger point injections, functional assessments, etc. This is more of a physical medicine route (possibly chiropractic). Functional medicine is...patient...

  10. Alternative/Holistic Medicine NP

    lhflanurseNP replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seems they are using "holistic/alternative" to cover a "quick buck" practice. I do functional medicine which is "holistic/alternative" and traditional. I do NOT push stem cells, weight loss, etc. I...

  11. Tips on makeup during clinicals?

    lhflanurseNP replied to Pacific Nurse's topic in General Students

    Have to agree with previous posters. Maybe the intention was for those who wear makeup to keep it light and non "gothic"? Anyway...if you don't wear makeup now...don't. I have noticed throughout my...

  12. Allergy IV's?

    lhflanurseNP replied to VanessaTitoyan's topic in General Nursing

    What is in this product? Liver detox can often times cause reactions with heavy toxin release and either no way to get out of the system or poor methylation and antioxidant/mitochondrial function....

  13. Nurse practitioner specialties

    lhflanurseNP replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A lot depends on the setting. ERs, Urgent Care, etc most often utilize acute care prepared

  14. Transitioning from RN to NP

    lhflanurseNP replied to cbrya00d's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This "assignment" is a common thread request here at AN. The purpose of this assignment is to get you to start communicating with NPs in YOUR area. It is a great way to make connections that may be...

  15. Nurse Educator

    lhflanurseNP replied to Luvmyscrubs82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Have you considered the possibility that schools may be reluctant to hire a MSN degreed nurse practitioner to teach "nurses"? The role of the NP is different from that of "the nurse" and they may...

  16. 1099 vs w2

    lhflanurseNP replied to Gassadist's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A 1099 reflects actual salary received. A person getting a 1099 is a "contract" worker and is responsible for their own taxes, insurances, education, etc. These need to be itemized so they can be...

  17. Adult-Geriatric Primary Care NP or...?

    lhflanurseNP replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree withWKShadowRN. I started out for FNP then realized that that in my area, seniors are where its at, so I switched to the adult-gero program. Don't regret it one bit. You need to know your...

  18. Help Please!! APA format for personal statement letter?

    lhflanurseNP replied to nurserissy09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Did your schol specify a format? If not, I agree a business format works well, but some schools pefr APA and may submit it for plagerism. Each school is

  19. Do you ever feel like you 'settled' for being an APNP instead of an MD?

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

    I had the opportunity to go to medical school...never wanted that. I love nursing and how the holistic approach is carried across into the role of NP. I have no regets othr than it took me so long...

  20. What is the grossest thing that's happened to you???

    lhflanurseNP replied to PrincessAlexis's topic in General Nursing

  21. Graduated in 2013 with MSN...need study tips

    lhflanurseNP replied to CosmicBoredom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would strongly recommend a couple review courses but first...can you sit for an exam 4 years

  22. Haunted by my past...What are my options?

    lhflanurseNP replied to MathewB's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Talk to the admissions rep. I did a letter explaining my first time around scholastic immaturity and had the grades 4.0 from my RN to BSN program (I was admitted on probation for 2 semesters)....

  23. How much RN experience?

    lhflanurseNP replied to amzyRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The whole idea of the nurse practitioner role grew out of and advanced role for an EXPERIENCED registered nurse. This is why the programs "appear" to have limited education when compared to PA...

  24. Illinois gets Full Practice Authority!!!

    lhflanurseNP replied to traumaRUs's topic in Advanced Practice

    Like Texas...Florida is slow to change. Look at how long it took to get prescriptive rights! We have had autonomy bills go to Tallahassee several times...with them NEVER even getting past the...

  25. How important is integrative practice to you?

    lhflanurseNP replied to WestCoastSunRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    A true functional/integrative practice includes both allopathic and complementary approaches depending on the patient's needs. When looking at health, the functional practitioner is looking for clues...
