    Lpn can they work for a plastic surgeon and inject botox?

    LucyLou88 replied to Cristinabb's topic in Aesthetics

    I want to be more open minded on this, but I have to agree. I have had my face injected enough times to know that the person injecting needs to have a deep and respectful grasp of facial anatomy at...

    LucyLou88 replied to LucyLou88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks so much for your reply. I feel heard! You know, I was on the epn network where I am a student member and somehow wandered to the Georgia nurses group. There was a full page article written by...

    Advice for an FNP student please!

    LucyLou88 replied to LucyLou88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Preceptor Finding service

    LucyLou88 replied to kmnc777's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can't speak for Kathy, but my school offers no help at all. If they did, or, if providers were welcoming students, pay to play services would not exist. They are an unfortunate consequence of a...

    DO NOT GO HERE!!!!

    LucyLou88 replied to bigmack78's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I wish I was surprised to hear this. I'm an FNP/MSN student, and will be graduating a semester late (at least) because they bungle everything. From day 1, I knew I had made a serious mistake and...

    Help: Can't find a preceptor

    I am in the same position. My school refuses to help us in ANY way. They will not release the names of any previous preceptors or even which institutions already have affiliation agreements in place....

    New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

    LucyLou88 replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe they are expecting you to step up and make a counter offer. You never take the first offer. Doing so is unprofessional and keeps the bar low for the profession. That said, somewhere between 60...

    Time for hospice referral?

    LucyLou88 replied to casias12's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm an FNP student, and I saw this post and am interested. I do not see impetus for Hospice. Palliation for the chronic issues that are never going to be completely remediated makes sense, but I am...

    Aspiring NP but... with a bad knee / hip / back? Am I dreaming?

    LucyLou88 replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Practicing medicine and medical school is in no way comparable to nursing with regards to the physicality. It sounds to me like you do not have a good idea of what nursing is, and what nurses do. It...
