  1. What you are doing completely wrong

    automotiveRN67 replied to sauce's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think setting up your own clinical hours is a good real-world test to see if a student can network. Since the requirements for online programs are so low, this is one way to let students see what...

  2. What you are doing completely wrong

    automotiveRN67 replied to sauce's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your comment is truth in failure. NP programs are only designed for one purpose: generate cash for the university. Period. There are those who will have the connections to set up clinical hours, like...

  3. Implant/Surgical Procedures

    automotiveRN67 replied to epcathNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's just a loop recorder. Not exactly a challenge. There is nothing in the NP scope of practice that permits or forbids this. You just have to make sure you are 1) trained correctly 2) notify your...

  4. More work, no pay increase..

    automotiveRN67 replied to Muse4723's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Of course they would. I have seen so many hospitalists screwed over with the offer of "12-15 patients", and then see 30. Cardiology groups are even worse. It's the way the system works. Overpromise,...

  5. Are FNP salaries in family practice really this low?

    automotiveRN67 replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    When I made my comment, I was speaking from real-world experience about online education. I am a bit of a hypocrite. I went to an online program, and found the quality to be very low. This was a...

  6. Are FNP salaries in family practice really this low?

    automotiveRN67 replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    ARNP salary is contingent on a few variables. Unfortunately, a glut in the market since the addition of "sit at home in our jammies" online degree courses has been painful for our salary, and will...

  7. Suturing

    automotiveRN67 replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Advanced Practice

    Suturing is within anyone's scope of practice, provided the hospital or clinic has a policy (I guess we had a policy). I worked in many cath labs and EP labs where I sutured, as an RN, and so did many...

  8. Call pay

    automotiveRN67 replied to marinp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I get $100 per night for phone-only call. Usually 2 or 3 calls. Day call on the weekend is paid as a normal 8 hour day. Round on patients, then calls only after that. Usually takes no more than 2...

  9. APN logs in under Doctor's name and charts. What do I do?

    automotiveRN67 replied to StealthRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for having the skills to cut and

  10. APN logs in under Doctor's name and charts. What do I do?

    automotiveRN67 replied to StealthRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually, it is illegal to document under someone else's login and bill medicare or any insurance company for the work. CMS doesn't have any kind of "watchdog" measures to detect this. How would...

  11. APN logs in under Doctor's name and charts. What do I do?

    automotiveRN67 replied to StealthRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    First off, why do nurses feel compelled to come to the nurse practitioner forum to ask questions like this? Let me ask you this: If you noticed a physician's nurse, or anyone for that matter, logging...

  12. Just a vent!!!

    automotiveRN67 replied to nursefin's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First things first. You are not a nurse practitioner yet. This is a nurse practitioner forum. There is a section for student nurse practitioners under the "student nurse practitioner" tab. Second....

  13. Attention moderators and non-NP's

    automotiveRN67 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Moderators, Could you please create a section of this site where non-NP's can ask questions. They litter this thread with begging, pleading requests for information. I respect their questions, but...

  14. Let me ask sort of a blunt question

    automotiveRN67 replied to elmonorojo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll be blunt. Don't bother. Anyone who comes on here and looks for sympathy, because their job stinks, and says, "I think I will give NP a go-round", needs to stop posting here. Really. Your life...

  15. Offensive Op/Ed About NPs

    automotiveRN67 replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also work in a very narrow state, by definition. I think Florida has one of the most rigid supervisory requirements in the country. But... I work independently, without any issues at all. An...

  16. Offensive Op/Ed About NPs

    automotiveRN67 replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know that it is reality in 16 states. At least by law. I am not sure how many actually practice independently. In the real world. But removing the barrier of oversight, and decreasing the...

  17. Offensive Op/Ed About NPs

    automotiveRN67 replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry. I have to disagree with this. With no real minimum requirement for NP's starting an independent practice, I am afraid. Maybe, if a NP had 5 years experience that was verified by attestation, to...

  18. Offensive Op/Ed About NPs

    automotiveRN67 replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    After reading this article, I am surprised....well maybe not surprised, that this blowhard (blow-hard) doesn't know the difference between education and expertise. I would never tell a physician my...

  19. Challenging Relationships with Doctors

    automotiveRN67 replied to resilientnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is an interesting discussion. It brings up the question of how nurse practitioners should move forward in the next round of growth. Physicians have been short-sighted for a long time, and see...

  20. Drug Rep Hassles

    automotiveRN67 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    After 25 years, I think I have seen my share. On occasion you get a rep who is a little too energetic, you ask for their card, and set something up with them later. It's your choice whether you talk...

  21. Drug Rep Hassles

    automotiveRN67 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the OP is making things up. In the way back days, reps used to take us to dinners (without the talk), cater lunches, and they always had the best tickets to everything. I am not saying it...

  22. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    automotiveRN67 replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe you should read some of your rants, before you accuse people of improper

  23. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    automotiveRN67 replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow. I bet you're

  24. Would you accept a position.....

    automotiveRN67 replied to wildcatarnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My experience is a little different, but may be helpful to others. I started in a cardiology practice that consists of one cardiologist. He thought he might try a nurse practitioner. Difficulties so...

  25. Letters after name? FNP, APRN, etc

    automotiveRN67 replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am sure I am messing up. I use
