  1. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I started this conversation with a group last week, and thought I would continue it here. How many of you prescribe for yourself, or family or friends? How long have you been

  2. Nurse Practitioner Restrictions

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

    I guess my advice would be. 1) Don't post misinformation. Proof-read your work. People who stumble onto this and don't do due dilligence may believe what you have said. Misinformation will never help...

  3. Nurse Practitioner Restrictions

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

    Can you clarify the part about DME for medicare patients? I was under the impression that the restriction came in 2012 according to this rule, and was applicable to all medicare reimbursement: In a...

  4. Any NPs partners/part-owners w/ physician?

    automotiveRN67 replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Can you post a copy of the law and the linK? That seems like a really weird law, wondering what the intent would be. Here is a discussion that may be helpful to you....

  5. Do you text your patients?

    automotiveRN67 posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    As the title states. It is difficult to understand rules, regulations, and the impact of modern technology. I am wondering how many NP's text their patients, and what they think is appropriate, vs...

  6. Do you text your patients?

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks for all of the responses. I use my cell phone every day to contact patients, and have never had one abuse it. My cell phone is on my card, so they already have it. I do tell them "If you have a...

  7. CRNA/NP Outside of work Hospital Setting Question

    automotiveRN67 replied to brimurse58's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In part, this depends on whether your hospital job affords flexibility. CRNA generally get paid by the hour, and their charting consists of a few check boxes and scrawls on their anesthesia record. In...

  8. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have. Also, I have had colleagues fill scripts for me without issue. This thread has certainly been worthwile, I

  9. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    The variety of opinions is the reason I brought this discussion to this forum. One of the common suggestions is to have someone call a script for you. To paraphrase, "Just have someone you know call...

  10. Can an APRN practice as an RN

    automotiveRN67 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Advanced Practice

    Wouldn't any ARNP who is working as an RN hold themselves to the higher standard

  11. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    But isn't that violating the first rule for physicians and practitioners? By calling it in under someone else's name, you are directly violating the "must examine to prescribe" rule, thereby, putting...

  12. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm the same. My protocol says "what" I can prescribe, but it doesn't dictate to "whom" or

  13. Are ER Patients Getting More Ridiculous?

    automotiveRN67 replied to us2uk4u's topic in Emergency

    I remember a lady who brought her three children (the oldest about 5 years old) to a heart cath with her. She thought we could sit them in the corner of the waiting room and give them coloring sheets....

  14. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, but in this case he was prescribing controlled substances to himself and his girlfriend. He was not real

  15. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well, again I have to say "use common sense". It seems this case was really about the supervising physician not standing up for her in this case. Obviously, she examined her son and used due-diligence...

  16. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    So here is one article with some common-sense guidelines: http://www.currentpsychiatry.com/home/article/should-you-prescribe-medications-for-family-and-friends/a1eba6baba36081fe00579a4482aaa41.html...

  17. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    traumaRUs. Well, that's not so cut and dry. None of the links you provide say it is illegal, or punishable. They say you "should not". Of course, with controlled substances, it would be foolish to...

  18. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    automotiveRN67 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm back. I wanted to sit out and see the responses. I know a huge number of practitioners (physician, NP and PA), and find the act of prescribing for self, friends and family to be as individual as...

  19. What labs values have the opposite effects?

    automotiveRN67 replied to fnp3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    For the OP. Go to youtube. There are plenty of quality videos discussing pathopysiology and labwork. If you have a specific question. Post it

  20. From an MD no less!!

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

    Actually, I am old enough to remember when cardiologists could be any physician who was trained by someone, without a fellowship. So he was trained by another cardiologist, no fellowship needed, and...

  21. From an MD no less!!

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

    I appreciate that the MD in this article stood up for the mid-level provider by asking that the term not be used. It shows he has genuine respect for our role. That being said, we are a mid-level...

  22. From an MD no less!!

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

    Wow. I bet you are fun at a dinner

  23. Which EHR do you use at your practice

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

    I have used eclinicalworks and amazing charts in offices in the past. Eclinicalworks is ok, amazing charts is not so amazing, but very

  24. How much orientation is needed for a new NP?

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

    That would be medical malpractice on the part of the chiropractor. Maybe you should turn that in to the medical board in your state for

  25. I have a dilemma as a new NP

    automotiveRN67 replied to rpatil88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on what you think the job will actually be. Everyone has to take their lumps in the clinic, in my opinion. I don't know many people who like the clinic, but it is the bulk of the work in...
