  6. Why Can't She Stay Here? Getting Kicked Out of Inpatient Hospice

    .4** replied to jeastridge's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    This is an issue that will never go away. No matter how many times it is explained at admission people believe we make the rules. As cold as it sounds you can't always get what you

  15. Question from a doc on NP education

    .4** replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think a major issue that is being overlooked is practical experience. Jumping from RN to FN with no pause for working experience seems to be the culprit. School to school with clinical don't...

  16. Question from a doc on NP education

    .4** replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Having been a nurse and having a daughter (RN BSN) currently working on her FNP I suggest you take into the consideration the (F) in FNP. Since I don't think you would expect a GP to do an ORIF you...
