1. CLINICALLY based DNP

   Katya000 replied to anh06005's topic in Doctoral

   You could always pop into medical school classes, it's my understanding that a public university cannot tell you to leave if you are there for education, and you don't have to pay if you aren't looking for a degree--however you won't necessarily have...

2. Moving Florida ARNP

   Katya000 replied to doodledome's topic in Advanced

   I can't remember where I heard this/read this, may have been on this forum, but there was an NP who lived in FL but refused to work there and did locums out of state just because practice laws were not ideal--but loved FL too much not to live there. ...

3. Books?

   Katya000 posted a topic in NP

   I'm looking for a good book on procedures for primary care if anyone has any suggestions? I would also like to find a good book on thorough documentation to help CYA--I never felt that I was taught how to document well and I find that it takes me a v...

4. Taking a hiatus from working as a NP?

   Katya000 replied to blondenurse12's topic in NP

   I would just make sure to keep your hours up and your experience current to keep you competitive for a NP job in the future, if you find you need one FT. Based on what you are telling me I wouldn't work FT as an NP while working your business, I woul...

5. Frustrated

   Katya000 replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced

   I put in my notice and left my job. I was the 4th provider to leave in a six month period. You would think this would give them some impetus to change but apparently this clinic has been a revolving door for providers and CMO almost as long as it has...

6. Job Search New FNP

   Katya000 replied to TicTok411's topic in NP

   They'll probably be willing to wait for you as rural areas are often desperate for help and the work they do get tends to be transient as people decide either they don't like how isolated it is or (honestly) the job sucks but there isn't much competi...

7. What is your biggest struggle

   Katya000 replied to synaptic's topic in NP

   Don't forget to add B12 to that mixed injection cocktail Honestly I love my patients (most of them) but they can be SO insistent about things they DO NOT NEED. The best ones for me are when they tell me they know all the tests came back negative fo...

8. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

   Katya000 replied to lvICU's topic in NP

   Eek, I guess I'll add that to my list of questions to ask the recruiter.

9. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

   Katya000 replied to lvICU's topic in NP

   I'm seriously considering one of these jobs while I'm looking for something more permanent, or I may start doing locums for awhile to travel the country with this as my first placement. They are offering $140 in OR with a sign on bonus of $1000 for t...

10. Frustrated

    Katya000 replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced

    Sounds exactly like my position. Zero control over my schedule, multiple times I say "no double books unless I approve" (rarely happens), double books placed on my schedule without even a head's up they are there (I have to find them on my schedule--...

11. Strange requests from patients

    Katya000 replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced

    Not weird requests but outright lies about reason being seen for pain seeking patients. Stuff they know would never be turned away like chest pain; or an acute complaint like UTI and you get them in the room and they actually just want their oxycodo...

12. Easy/Difficult NP jobs

    Katya000 replied to Fnpatlast's topic in Advanced

    oof. I think I'd keep looking for something in-between. If you want easy, I'd move to be closer as I hate commuting and an hour would be the max I would ever commit to for commute. And that would probably last 6 months lol The difficult job with the ...

13. Medical law

    Katya000 replied to synaptic's topic in Advanced

    I think law would be great to study, and I'd probably want to work malpractice for anything that seemed like it needed an advocate but meh, I've known about the glut of law graduates, poor paying jobs and miserable hours for at least a decade which i...

14. Who prescribes for themselves or family

    Katya000 replied to automotiveRN67's topic in Advanced

    In a pinch I have prescribed for my fiance but NEVER felt comfortable with it, and never prescribed anything controlled (even though he asked once when he had a killer headache). I made him establish with someone at the clinic where I work. I honestl...

15. Non-psych NPs working in psych

    Katya000 replied to Jules A's topic in NP

    My clinic pressures us to see psych patients and I don't feel comfortable with it because of lack of education and training. Legally in my state according to BON I cannot manage these patients' care, but that doesn't seem to bother the higher ups in ...
