    lhflanurseNP replied to strawberri24's topic in General Students

    T4 is the prohormone excreted from the thyroid when stimulated by TSH. TSH is stimulated through a feedback mechanism when free T3 is low. Conversely, when free T3 levels are high, the stimulation...

  2. Do pharma reps target you??

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

    I wish I had the luxury of SEEING a rep! I could care or less about the meal...I miss having them come in and keep us updated. When I call the company, I am told the area I'm in is in "flux" and...

  4. Advanced patho/stats

    lhflanurseNP replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did not have to do another statistics course, but it was a regular part of Research Methods and a couple of other classes. Advanced Patho was just more in-depth and more on the cellular level as...

  5. Recommendations for online FNP-30k range

    lhflanurseNP replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  6. Recommendations for online FNP-30k range

    lhflanurseNP replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Clinical hours are one of the most important things about becoming a NP. I would be very leary of a school that has low hours. I am thankful that my program's hours are patient based rather than...

  8. Job Prospects for FNP

    lhflanurseNP replied to Karamia0x's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it depends on the physician. It is easy for them to associate with the PA model...they wrote it! It is an extension of themselves. Many physicians find it hard to see the actual role of the...

    lhflanurseNP replied to wesleygrace1995's topic in General Students

    When you say you were "completely sold on nursing and felt as if I was destined to be a nurse" I have to ask why? What was it that made you feel this way. While it is a good thing you have an...

  10. Pharm for APNs

    lhflanurseNP replied to Bumex's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  11. Please Help with HUGE Decision

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

    The differences between NP and PA are far more than just finances. You need to determine if you would be content working as a NP or would you rather work as a PA. Once you know this, then you can...

  12. File Folders for Preceptor Request

    lhflanurseNP replied to cherub_myrrh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When I was out getting my sites set up, I did a similar concept. I think your "layout" is fine. Because there is no local school, I included my schools info in regards to it being accredited and...

  13. Books?

    lhflanurseNP replied to Katya000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While in my rotations, they actually had me spend a couple of days with the "coder". It was AWESOME. This is invaluable as practitioners are now responsible for doing the coding. Not only do you...

  14. Is there a place for Clinical Nurse Specialists in Aesthetic Nursing?

    lhflanurseNP replied to NurseStelri's topic in Advanced Practice

    You will need to look at your state's statutes. Each state is a little (or alot) different in regards to various degrees and what the entails. I have seen postings where a CNS can write...

  18. NPs working with chiropractors

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

    cayenne06...subluxations are the "meat" of the coding for chiropractors. Many of the "straight" schools still cling to the idea that EVERYTHING wrong with a person is related to a "subluxation" in...

    lhflanurseNP replied to Bluebell.'s topic in General Students

    It depends what you want in the future. To belong to STTI can be impressive if you are furthering your education or going into management, education, or research. Other than that, why would you want...

  20. Nursing fundamentals

    lhflanurseNP replied to RNtobe17's topic in General Students

    This is not that uncommon. Many people never learn "how to take a test". She may be reading too much into the questions, or not picking up on the key words. My biggest problem was saying "yeah, but...

  22. Nursing: Associates vs. BSN

    lhflanurseNP replied to schrutefarms's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I must agree with Rose_Queen. What are the requirements for new nursing hires? If your area is mostly utilizing BSN degrees as the starting point, then that's where you need to go...regardless of...

    lhflanurseNP replied to FNPDUKE's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I kept using the "game" portion until I was getting in the 80s consistently. It didn't take too long. Rather than just learn the answer, I worked to try and figure out why I would gen an answer...
