   Juliefin posted a topic in General Nursing

   The 21st century is an amazing, yet potentially overwhelming, time to be a healthcare consumer. With the vast amount of health-related information that is as close as a few clicks on a keyboard, several swipes on a phone, or surfing through a few tel...

2. Recommended Text: Not just Exam Prep Reviews

   Juliefin replied to carboncyclist's topic in NP

   Hi, honestly, I would recommend that you go to National Guideline Clearinghouse | Home and download /print the most common guidelines you'll use in primary care... JNC 8, cholesterol guidelines, ADA diabetes guidelines, GOLD for COPD, etc

3. Is the VA a good place to work?

   Juliefin replied to Morainey's topic in Government

   Has anyone had any experience working as a NP in the VA (Cleveland); I'm considering a position there, have interviewed and it looks good but it's a 45 -50 minute commute in good weather...trying to decide if benefits etc would make it worth the driv...

4. Need help collecting data/information for capstone

   Juliefin replied to dxbtocvg's topic in NP Students

   Hi, can you clarify what you mean by "independent?" I'm assuming you mean from other states as Ohio still requires collaboration. That being said, I have a collaborating physician but have actually only ran a case by them once in the last 10 months....

   What textbook are you using? If it's not Bates I would recommend getting a copy and reading it.

8. Skills taught in the FNP program

   If you ever get a chance, I recommend the skills workshop by Denise Ramponi. She does it a few times a year out of Pittsburgh area. Costly but excellent (I just attended last month).

9. what are my options to work as an NP except office or hospital

   Juliefin replied to drcricket's topic in NP

   I work at a clinic inside Walgreens and they don't require 5 yrs. in fact, they are hiring and training new grads (for 6-10 weeks , I think, which is a great orientation).

10. TakeCare Clinics (Walgreens)

    Juliefin replied to ellislatrese's topic in Advanced

    Hi, I do work for them. Pay is good,I like it, probably won't do forever. My clinic is busiest in area but some are really slow and that would make me crazy. I'm never bored though. Nothing crazy on the interview.

11. Chronic care at retail clinics?

    Juliefin replied to msn-fnp09's topic in NP

    Hi everyone, to answer a few more questions. Patients can make appointments online or at our Kiosk but the system limits appointment slots to four a day to save the space for walk ins. The NP can override the system at any time and add additional app...
