  1. NP programs with clinicals at end only

    lhflanurseNP replied to HelloWish's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The first portion of your advanced degree will not have clinicals. These classes are for ALL advanced practice nurses...educators, researchers, clinical specialists, nurse practitioners, etc. The...

  2. Anyone drop their BSN program for an ADN program?

    lhflanurseNP replied to Username invalid's topic in General Students

    Path and Pharm are probably the most important classes after anatomy! The board exams for RNs do not take into account a ADN or BSN degree...it is the same! If your local ADN program is doing "lower...

  3. I Inherited A Bully

    lhflanurseNP replied to Natkat's topic in Nurse Management

    You may consider doing a "mini" sit down with ALL the members of your unit on a one-on-one...of course announce it first. This gives you the opportunity to really meet your staff on an individual...

  4. no midwife jobs here

    lhflanurseNP replied to Nurse_cox's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The local health department in my small county utilizes CNMs for the pregnancy follow-through. Some patients opt for home birth and utilize outside CNMs as well. You may want to see about doing a...

  5. Nurse to Chiro?

    lhflanurseNP replied to MissWinnie's topic in Nursing Career

    There is a big "black cloud" over chiropractors. Some due to the arrogance of "everything can be fixed by an adjustment", some from ignorance and "forgetfulness" (did we not learn about spinal...

  6. South University FNP MSN program???

    lhflanurseNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you attending a b&m program, it is so. If online, you will have your id badge which you will wear. Sites may or may not want you to wear a labcoat. My first and 3rd preceptors did not...

  7. LPN programs... are they worth it?

    lhflanurseNP replied to romk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your circumstances. Can you afford to go for your RN? Is your area underserved...LPNs are still utilized in all aspects of healthcare? As Nimrodel wrote, sometimes step-laddering is...

  8. Rejected for being a Male NP?

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

    Unless you have the statement in writing, or taped with consent, you really don't have a leg to stand on. I wonder if this is the true reason or if the doctor chose someone he knows or is more...

  9. Explain the role of healthcare memebers in the research process?

    lhflanurseNP replied to missfit83's topic in General Students

    As many posters have noted in the past...we don't mind "helping" with homework assignments...we just won't DO THEM. What are your parameters? What have you come up with? You need to present more...

  10. Liability Insurance-School won't share?

    lhflanurseNP replied to sunnyRN1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I called my RN malpractice insurer and we "upgraded" to a student NP at like almost nothing. This way I was comfortable with my own coverage as well as what the school provided. I have always...

  11. IV Chelation/Vitamins and Ozone Therapy in Integrative Clinic

    lhflanurseNP replied to nutria's topic in Holistic

    I too misread the ND for MD...too quick sometimes. There are 20 states that license NDs as physicians however each state has it's own licensing board for NDs and it would depend on the scope of...

  12. IV Chelation/Vitamins and Ozone Therapy in Integrative Clinic

    lhflanurseNP replied to nutria's topic in Holistic

    If you are NOT prescribing, but only following the "orders" and the protocols set up by the physicians and the clinic, AND you use your nursing skills to assess for complications (fluid overload,...

  13. So frustrated I want to cry

    lhflanurseNP replied to Mission2BNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First...I am so sorry to hear this. It is quite frustrating and unsettling. Have you checked out your local or neighboring health department? I remember my peds preceptor up and retired 3 months...

  14. Medicare E/M code - Telehealth

    lhflanurseNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What code(s) are you using for telehealth time with Medicare? The codes I found are not in the Medicare fee schedule, so I am stuck. I have several patients out of state and I want to charge for...

  15. Medicare E/M code - Telehealth

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

    Googs...I do not do telemedicine. I have patients from all over the country and often times they will not be back for 3-4 months and we will speak on the telephone if the conversation is more than a...

  16. Cheating in nursing school

    lhflanurseNP replied to nursingforme2's topic in General Students

    As mentioned earlier, many schools recognize cheating. The fact that nothing is done is sad, but while the student is in school, the school is getting money. This is not just limited to nursing....

  17. Severe anxiety

    lhflanurseNP replied to Socrates12358's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Many employers offer a service for this sort of thing...does yours? As previous posters have noted...you need to address this NOW...not wait until "insurance kicks in". With today's deductibles, you...

  18. Is this Fraud?

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

    The physician does not necessarily have to see the patient on the same day, but should see at least once a year...BUT...to bill under the MD/DO/DPM license, they must be on site otherwise the billing...

  19. Feeling VERY Incompetent

    lhflanurseNP replied to kyfitch's topic in General Nursing

    OP, the fact that you question your "ability" is admirable! No one fresh out of school knows/experienced everything whether you are a nurse, nurse practitioner, physician, teacher, lawyer...the list...

  20. DEA license, apply now or when offered a job?

    lhflanurseNP replied to flipper628's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As per Jules...get it if you can. It is not cheap, but if you can swing the $731.00, it is nice to have. You just have to update your work area as

  21. Adult gero vs acute care

    lhflanurseNP replied to russianbear's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What are you thinking as your "end goal" for a job? If you are drawn to the ER or acute care settings, then the acute program may be better suited for you. If you are considering an office position...

  22. How not to suck!

    lhflanurseNP replied to NP2bman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One thing that can help is doing as much clinical time as you can. Just doing the "minimum" hours doesn't cut it. The problem most NP students have is they still have to work so they wind up...

  23. Help with clinical goals

    lhflanurseNP replied to Roseyposey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not so much ideas...but a path. What do you anticipate, or need, to learn during this rotation to help you further your goal to be NP? Are you going into women's health, family practice, or...

  24. Do you get sick often when you first start a job?

    lhflanurseNP replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago, I would get sick whenever I started working in a new environment...even in the same facility. Now, I do not get bothered as much...must have really developed some good defense having moved...

  25. FNP vs. AGNP??

    lhflanurseNP replied to aya_inoue's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What is the community like where you plan to work? For me, I switched from FNP to AGNP based on the demographics (statistics) of my area...OLD! This was reinforced while doing my clinical...
