  1. What was it like to be a nurse in the 1980s

    lhflanurseNP replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    Remember the wrap around "apron" and the black neoprene rubber gloves that went to your elbows? At least I did mixing

  2. Finally, Florida steps into the 21st century

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

    It's official....Governor Scott signed the Barbara Lumpkin Controlled Substance Prescribing Act bill!

  3. I'm failing anatomy!

    lhflanurseNP replied to wannabenurse88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy is like learning a foreign language unless you have had experience or been exposed to many of the terms. Where are you struggling? Do you have a "study buddy" who can help you? There are...

  4. Problems with Florida licensure

    lhflanurseNP replied to Jax94's topic in General Students

    Have you made your application? If so, did you do it online? If so, you can login and see the status of your application including all the input from outside sources such as fingerprints, test...

  5. Finally, Florida steps into the 21st century

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

    Funny...just got a notice from WUSF that he signed it on Friday, but I can't find anything to collaborate yet: Nurses Score Victory With New Prescribing Powers, Transfer Compact Signed Into Law |...

  6. Any ARNP willing to be interviewed?

    lhflanurseNP replied to dgonzhr's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    These assignments are designed to help you identify mentors in your community. This can help open doors for you down the line. Have you tried contacting local ARNPs in your community

  7. Finally, Florida steps into the 21st century

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

    I for one am looking forward to this and hope that Governor Scott will not veto it. It will be real nice to be able to write a compound prescription with Testosterone, or for Testosterone medication...

  8. Apps for HTN, DM?

    lhflanurseNP replied to MILOBRI's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is what clinicals are for....to learn and become comfortable with "chronic" diseases. Be sure to talk to the drug reps when they come in...they usually have guidelines and

  9. Approaching a potential preceptor...

    lhflanurseNP replied to gelli.25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Call me old-fashioned, but I would call and arrange a short greet and discuss your future plans and ask if they would be open to precepting you. Then you can start making plans once you get accepted...

  10. RN BSN to PMHNP at age 55?

    lhflanurseNP replied to lila29629's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    lila92692, have to apologize for not catching this until now. I am a bit of a rebel and struck out on my own. It was hard going for a while, but I am now fairly busy and getting new patients all the...

  11. APN Careplan

    lhflanurseNP replied to Imani2185's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Start thinking out of the nursing model and consider what tests need to be ordered, what drugs should be ordered, what referrals should be

  14. Salary!?

    lhflanurseNP replied to roman1006's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think what many do not realize is if you have been a practicing nurse for quite some time, yes, you will be making some decent money BUT...the key is the experienced RN versus a NOVICE NP. A new RN...

  15. Why are there so many SHADY clinics hiring? *New grad Vent*

    lhflanurseNP replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with TriciaJ. In some areas, very few people talk about how great the experience is while those who are unhappy are more than eager to spread the news. Meet and greet, then follow your...

  16. Clinical commute

    lhflanurseNP replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    During my clinicals, I came across students who had done rotations that were more than 4 hours from their home. They looked at weekly rentals and would stay there during the week and go home on the...

  17. RN BSN to PMHNP at age 55?

    lhflanurseNP replied to lila29629's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP...I went back at the same age and was able to get done just before the big 60! I did my courses online as I live so far away from any major university, but I am glad I got it done. Depending on...

  19. Moving Florida ARNP

    lhflanurseNP replied to doodledome's topic in Advanced Practice

    It is a shame that there is not a way to ban people like this from posting

  20. Moving Florida ARNP

    lhflanurseNP replied to doodledome's topic in Advanced Practice

    Without knowing the extent of education and licensure, how can you make this blanket statement? Nurse practitioners have consistently been found to provide AS EQUAL care as any primary care...

  21. Integrative Medicine for Nurse Practitioner

    lhflanurseNP replied to momrn5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Insurance does NOT pay for alternative medicine. I do bill for the patient encounter by time and education/consult. Some of the labs are covered through insurance (or at least a decent portion)....

    lhflanurseNP replied to momrn5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I utilize Xymogen, Apex Energetics, Douglas Laboratories, NuMedica, and others as well as have various products changed and private labelled. I do a LOT of nutritional counseling including diet and...

  23. Integrative Medicine for Nurse Practitioner

    lhflanurseNP replied to momrn5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I utilize integrative medicine in my practice all the time. It is what it means...it integrates aspects of allopathic AND complementary practices. It opens the doors to looking "outside the box" for...

  25. I passed my test...now what?

    lhflanurseNP replied to dotson1983's topic in Advanced Practice

    As Goldenfox points out...these should have been gone over in your program during the final class. I was introduced at the beginning of clinicals to start looking and then again the "nitty-gritty"...
