  1. Surviving ICD 10

    Here is a GREAT site to download some "quick codes" by specialty. You have to "purchase", but in the end it is free and you can download which ones you find fit your practice:...
  2. NPs working with chiropractors

    I have to agree with Psychcns. You can work in the same facility as a D.C., but his patients and notes are his...and your patients and notes are yours. May you both see the same patients? Sure, why...
  3. What needs worked on in your hospital?

    Check with the Risk Manager at a local facility. They are CONSTANTLY finding problems that need to be addressed. Sometimes a perceived problem may not be what it seems when someone can devote time....
  4. Malpractice/Liability Insurance

    I have carried malpractice through NSO for YEARS! When I went back to school, I contacted them and they adjusted my coverage for student. Once I graduated, they continue the coverage. I don't...
  5. End of life experience as a RN

    When my father passed, after 3 days of not responding...he opened his eyes, looked at my sister and myself then smiled and winked at my mom then he was gone. I remember one patient lingering for...
  6. Is this normal for pathophysiology

    Is there some form of "instruction" of class notes for the week? Mine did not have an actual "class", but we had weekly class notes as well as the reading assignments supplemented with the discussion...
  7. South University FNP MSN program???

    Rayjordan, here is a link on the board pass rates: https://content.edmc.edu/assets/documents/su/licensure-results.pdf I finished up with my ANP in December 2014 and cost was just under $24K. It may...
  8. Christian School and Atheism

    I attended a Catholic university and had 2 religion requirements. I did one in World Religions - very interesting and the other in regards to Death and Dying (appropriate for nursing). Other than...
  9. AANP Exam: Success?!

    Good for
  10. AANP failed

    I did not find the ExamEdge tests to be at all helpful! You can go on to APEA and look at the Q-bank...very good! The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Program site also has a...
  11. Passed the ANCC FNP today!

    Congratulations!
  12. South University FNP MSN program???

    Uh...not so sure about this. According the CCNE, South University is accredited through 2020:...
  13. AANP failed

    I found that you shouldn't memorize the information, but understand the physiology and be cognizant of the guidelines. I did Leik, Fitzgerald, and Hollier and did not find that the certification exam...
  14. What Software do you use to document?

    I tried Practice Fusion for a few months, but found it more labor intensive to do what I wanted it to do. Anyway, it does link back and forth from major labs which is nice, but it does not do billing...
  15. Work clothings for PMHNPs

    PsychGuy...very well put, even if addressed to females. I too find that in the office I work "casual Friday" is pretty gross sometimes. We actually had an office worker show up in frayed jean...
  16. From an MD no less!!

    I work in a community where there are only 2 nurse practitioners "on their own"...I am one, and the other is a DNP who used to work for the health department. What is a shame is that the physicians...
  17. South University FNP Questions

    If you do the adult program, it is 600 clinical hours. If you are going for the family program, it is 780 hours (180 additional hours for the pediatric
  18. FNP Boards

    I paid for both and found Exam Edge to be pretty worthless. The APEA QBank was good. Leik's review book is also very good. You should also consider a review class...either in person or online....
  19. I have a dilemma as a new NP

    I am sure that as an ACNP, you would find clinic practice disappointing. Clinic practice is for the chronic patient. We may experience a few occasional acute cases, but overall it is following up on...
  20. Finding a NP preceptor

    To add to the resume', provide some information about the school (usually can get from their "about us" page), as well as what is expected during your class: what will be covered and what is expected...
  21. Are you listed as a PCP?

    If that is how you are billing, than you are NOT the PCP, you are an extension of the PCP. By billing "incident to", the PCP sees the patient and sets the plan of care. As long as you do not deviate...
  22. Which EHR do you use at your practice

    Not sure if this is geared towards hospital NPs only, but I use eClinicalWorks in the office
  23. Passed ANCC tonight!

    WooHoo!!!!!
  24. I went to an online program and was offered more jobs than I could count. Most came from my clinical sites, but several came from other docs who knew I had graduated and wanted to know if I could...
  25. Does anyone else feel this way?

    I have not necessarily heard a school is only part-time. Have you talked to your adviser about taking a couple of the basic classes together? They may be so used to students only being able to take...
