  1. Well, there goes our bonus!

    lhflanurseNP replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    According to CMS, next year, providers (all forms) will be compensated depending on "satisfaction scores" that include everything from how quickly their phone call took to be answered to how smoothly...

  2. Collaborative Physician Issues

    lhflanurseNP replied to nbtw's topic in Advanced Practice

    Guess maybe I'm being obtuse...but what do you mean by credentialing? Insurance? Hospital? Nursing

  3. TPN help

    lhflanurseNP replied to C-anne123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can someone explain why this is still in the Student Nurse Practitioner

  4. Taking call, do NPs get paid call pay?

    lhflanurseNP replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jules...we get between 250 and 300 depending on the number of calls. We don't have to go onsite. Most of our nursing homes allow us to do a 3 days phone order on narcs. Very few calls come from the...

  5. Taking call, do NPs get paid call pay?

    lhflanurseNP replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We implemented rotating weekend call recently among the "mid-levels" and we get a call coverage

  6. I hate group assignments

    lhflanurseNP replied to JBMmom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Let your instructor know what you have tried and who has not contributed. This happened to me, and the ones who got the work done got the grade, the others received an incomplete and thus removed...

  7. We Are Not Paying You

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

    There are quite a few "concierge" practices that take cash only. Many solo practices are going this route as dealing with insurance is costing them more money than they are collecting. You almost...

  8. Fox News calls CNA a nurse

    lhflanurseNP replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    This happens ALL the time! Seems ANYONE who cares for patients are "nurses". Maybe some truth to "fake news". The problem is the headlines are MUCH more "grabbing" if it says "nurse" rather than...

  9. Doctors vs NP's?

    lhflanurseNP replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    Just because someone is able to complete NP school and then pass boards does not make them independent thinkers. I have found many NPs that are VERY confident in their patient care and then I have...

  10. FNP Specialty Hour Requirements

    lhflanurseNP replied to PA_RN87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My clinical rotations were a minimum of 180

  11. Informatics nurse needed for an interview ASAP!

    lhflanurseNP replied to VICKI714's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am confused. If you are a nurse...why not talk to your nurse informatics person in IT? Unless your facility is not documenting electronically, you should have

  12. English As A Second Language

    lhflanurseNP replied to Santa Monica's topic in General Nursing

    Classes can help, but are often expensive. When I was young, I was "forced" to learn English at a fast pace in order to avoid getting into fights that I did not provoke other than they could not...

  13. EBP Topic Ideas

    lhflanurseNP replied to popcrnlvr's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have to agree...what is your understanding of Evidence Based Practice. I am sure there must have been SOMETHING covered in your class about this otherwise you would not have this

  14. Can't destress. Don't know what to do!

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

    What have you TRIED to

  15. Successful as a nurse

    lhflanurseNP replied to satnam's topic in General Nursing

    Have you been often criticized in the past for performance issues...outside of nursing. Were you, or did you feel, that you were not competent prior to becoming a nurse? If, as you state, you do...

  16. Did you do all readings in FNP school?

    lhflanurseNP replied to NEMurse95's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I read my assignments. Some books were "worthless" so I found other resources. I returned to school as a much older student (well into the middle 50s) and was overwhelmed with the volume of reading,...

  17. Normal Saline Shortage

    lhflanurseNP replied to Starship's topic in General Nursing

    Can't get Sterile Water, Lactated Ringers, or Normal Saline IV bags! Have been able to get some through local vet. You may also try getting empty bags and individual "bottles" of normal saline then...

  18. SubQ injections

    lhflanurseNP replied to Trinity.Rn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Maybe she was taught something different? Rather than confront her, which will put you on her radar, ask why as you have never seen this approach and are

  19. The Struggle for Preceptors

    lhflanurseNP replied to smileyfacefee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Schools utilize various "reporting" systems for clinicals and have providers in the "system"...you may want to contact your clinical advisor to see if you can search the database for your area. When...

  20. Passed boards now what?

    lhflanurseNP replied to 1TraumaNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Did your school not cover this? It is interesting how many new grads are seemingly not getting this important information before they graduate. I recall having this reviewed about 3 times during my...

  21. National Normal Saline Shortage

    lhflanurseNP replied to displacedyankeeRN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Started with Sterile Water then Lactated Ringers, now Normal Saline! If you don't want to freak out too much...consider Vet supply places! Many still have supplies. I just ordered 24-250cc bags...

  22. South university FNP

    lhflanurseNP replied to andreead's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I too went to SU online, passed my boards on first attempt, and started work as soon as I got my license changed as

  23. If you don't have to be (insert job) before becoming a PA, why become an RN before NP?

    lhflanurseNP replied to nightingale4me's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The reason you need to be a nurse before being a NP, is the course is shorter than that for PA. As PAs have little to no experience, they have to learn EVERYTHING. The idea behind the NP is that it...

  24. Already been told I shouldn't be a nurse (Rant)

    lhflanurseNP replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    I was told that my first year of college...now look at me. A full career in nursing and now a nurse practitioner. If it is truly what you want, you will get
