    Well a lot has happened since my rant. We have a new medical director that actually wants to work and make things better. And get this, she is willing to teach and mentor. It only took a year to get...
  2. AANP or ANCC?

    My preceptor brought up the subject of which organization I was going to be licensed with. A friend said that since I was ANP I only had one choice. Pulling them both up I see that I do in fact have a...

    Thanks everybody for the replies. THe mother-in-law is not a problem really. THe niece, well we'll see. I am cooling down and practicing my right to remain silent. I'll update if things get better or...
  4. AANP exam--prep for adult NP?

    I took the Kellerman review as well. I thought it was very good. I wish I had took it in my second semester of NP
  5. CFNP?

    I was talking to a Pharmacist today and he informs me that unless I am an FNP, I can not practice independently in New Mexico. I checked the BON and there is nada in there even remotely like this in...
  6. CFNP?

    Thank you David. I really appreciate that you take the time to help us out here as often as you do. I dare say that there is not one NP here you have not helped in some form or fashion. You are a role...
  7. confused

    In New Mexico you can work as a GNP (graduate NP) until results of the test are published. You have to be supervised by either an MD, DO, or CNP (NP here in
  8. Valproic acid for pain?

    Has anybody heard of this? In looking around on the web I'm coming up goose eggs. I have to sign off on this to my cynical patients and I'M NOT convinced. Any help? Thanks

  10. Wow, Thank you all for your responses. You have given me some great starting places. Thanks
  11. Do I have to get an NPI? My employer has nothing to do with ANY insurances and any moonlighting will be strictly a cash only basis. As I read it I do not need one, but I may be
  12. What is it and why do I need
  13. Where are the NP's from the Carolinas???

    I don't know, we were not a tight knit group, it's not something duke fosters. Come on out, pay is
  14. Is the npi number the medicare/medicaid number? I do not have one, don't plan to have one, but it is required by the link David kindly provided, along with dea# and lic. # being required. I will be...
  15. Friend MD Made Me a 50/50 Offer

    I have to respectfully disagree. I have seen ads for mid levels that ADVERTISED PA's being offered 20K more than NP's. So please do not say that it is hyperbole. Is it common, maybe not, but it is out...
  16. Friend MD Made Me a 50/50 Offer

    Maybe you just found your niche. How about a professional negotiator for NP's? Maybe then we will be valued for what we bring to the table. Technically speaking, there is very little that an MD can...

    We need an NP in New Mexico pen, come on out.
  18. NP salary negotiations

  19. In New Mexico, as I understand it, once I received my CNP license I am allowed to prescribe any drug or DME except CS. I applied to the board of Pharmacy for a cs license, once they issue I have to...

    I became an ANP for this very reason, so go for it and have
  21. NP's with second jobs

    Would the same hold true were I to volunteer as a swat team medic? I was thinking about going back for my EMT then EMT-P. I figure that once I get to the P level I'm covered as I can preform all the...
  22. NP salary negotiations

    To be honest, there was not much in the way of negotiations. It was more of three choices A or B, C was SEE
  23. I think you made the right choice and dodged a bullet. I was not so lucky. I went to duke and the reason is they accepted the MAT at the time. That is it. Cynical, self serving, bitter, but there it...
  24. ANCC exam

    :anpom::ancong!::hrns&wlcm: Strong
  25. Nurse Practioner vs Doctors

    NP's can do minor procedures like toe nail removal and punch biopsies, generally speaking. We do not get a surgery rotation, If I want to do a wide range of surgical procedures I'd have to go to...
