I am in the early process of interviewing for a position with Kaiser. One of the questions they've asked me to answer is to detail my experience working in "Primary Care". I have been a RN for over 15 years, have worked in six states in different hospital settings, and I have no idea what they're talking about. Is primary care referring to adult medicine? Is it a clinic setting? I feel like an idiot but I don't want to answer inappropriately and lose out on the opportunity. Help? LOL

I am in a RN to BSN program and we have an assignment this week that requires research into our state's nurse practice act. First of all, I cannot seem to find the NPA for the state of Virginia. I have found statutes from the Code of Virginia regarding nursing, but I cannot find a NPA. Does anyone know if Virginia HAS a NPA? Is it called something else? Where can I find it? We are supposed to find if our state has a provision in the NPA similar to Texas' "safe harbor" policy, where a nurse can call for safe harbor prior to accepting an assignment if she feels that it would put patients in risk for harm. I have searched but cannot find any similar policy in the state of Virginia. Anyone know of a protection for nurses specifically in VA that is similar to this?
