  2. New NP practice advice

    sauce replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I like 5 minute clinical consult. or at least i did in clinicals, I havent worked in a clinic since clinicals. But its really nice if you have a computer handy. I use epocrates, uptodate, 5mcc in the...

  3. Can I work in a hospital as a FNP?

    sauce replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hours are usually 12 hour shifts. sometimes rotating and such. you can work in the hospital as an fnp but if that is what you want to do your whole life it may be better to do acnp. I am an fnp in the...

  5. The hospitalist dilemma

    sauce replied to sauce's topic in Advanced Practice

    I do agree with dranger, as we probably shouldn't run the ICU. We don't really run it, like i said we have pulmonologists and can call them at any time, we usually just don't have to. Its not as bad...

  6. Alternative sources of income

    sauce posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    sauce replied to ashurtle's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you are in a rural area like me you probably could. I am an fnp and admit and round on icu patients all the time. They did give us training for it though with our internal med physician in the...

  10. Question for those of you who precept NP students

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

    Some nurses at the hospital I work are been nurses longer than I've been alive. They are going back to be an np. They are still clueless. Others barely worked as nurse and they do great. Time related...

  11. Getting Paid to Precept Students

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

    Like college tuition isnt expensive enough. students need to know to not go to a school that doesnt help with finding preceptors. its like going to the bank and having to hide your money under your...

  12. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    sauce replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    You know who makes the best nurses? The ones who try the hardest and are able to transfer book knowledge into working knowledge. Not the A B C whatever

  13. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    sauce replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am on par with juan. it does not seem to add much worth to ourselves to get a dnp. I love school and love to learn but i believe i can add more to my practice just by reading books written by MDs...

    sauce replied to EMEddie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    sauce replied to Are Enn's topic in Patient Medications

    a 500cc bolus isnt going to cause harm in most patients. he was probably just thinking about the other bunch of patients he has to take care of. I am sure if you ask him again he would give you an...

  16. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

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

    It is a downside that np programs are too easy to get into. soon we will be like lawyers, a dime a dozen. But the physician schools are not close behind them either with all of these private do...

  18. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

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

    I work in the hospital so I really don't refer much outpatient but most specialists seem to always want more business. It only seems like the topic of nps refer more and waste more money pops up when...

  19. Would you start anti-seizure meds?

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

    Of course. I don't think that would be a good idea to just send them home without medicine. Of course they may not possibly get as accurate of an eeg if neurology orders one but you can't really just...

    sauce replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

  25. In regards to subspecialties

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

    I apologize for not wording it the best. It seems it was a rather difficult question to ask, but now that I have slept on it, I think zman answered it pretty well in regards to not getting enough...
