  1. When the physician ask you to help sign schedule II drugs for him/her

    Goldenfox replied to Kay-teeRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Let him sign his own schedule II

  2. Ever refuse a follow-up?

    Goldenfox replied to Chen808's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are you practicing independently, or do you work for someone else? If the practice is yours, you could 'fire them' by giving them a letter that discharges them from your care with a reasonable...

  3. Good looking male borderline patient.

    Goldenfox replied to benji66's topic in Psychiatric

    The moment I read the first part of your topic I knew you are in a bad situation. This man might be very pretty to look at but he is a patient, and a patient with significant mental health issues. You...

  4. Happy with your credentials?

    Goldenfox replied to Cwoods's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I started the DNP and stopped, but I have decided to go back and finish it. I will be doing this not because I think that having the DNP will help my career in any way, but because I was raised to...

  5. New NP, take Integrated pain management job or keep looking?

    Goldenfox replied to Tony1790's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are correct, but not everybody is in a position to walk away. And, as many of us post here repeatedly, the pay for NPs is going down in many markets, not up. Like me, I'm sure many of you get...

  6. Nurse in room for hemorrhoid checks?

    Goldenfox replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    "Cameras in the rooms..." Now THAT is indeed interesting! Cameras in the rooms recording procedures being done to patients' private parts? Hmmmm. Patients at this facility give consent to their...

  7. FNPs don't let me down!!! Where's the Money?

    Goldenfox replied to Cwoods's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Another reason for the low pay is that some of us have done it to ourselves. Some of us take the low pay, and we even justify it. I have worked with many physicians over the years and I have never...

  8. Moving out of state as a new grad

    Goldenfox replied to delilahfrizzle's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is unlikely to be 'easier'. If you are moving to a new state you will be applying for a new license in that state, not a transfer. You're still going to have to meet all their requirements---even...

  9. NP Pay

    Goldenfox replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    THIS^^^

  10. Licensing in a different state help

    Goldenfox replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They don't explain the process very clearly on their website. You have to search for the information. Some types of applications you do entirely online, others you need to download the paper forms and...

  11. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    Goldenfox replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What exactly are you saying about organic chemistry..that its so hard that only bright medical students can do it but not us silly nurses? When I was a pre med student I took organic chemistry and...

  12. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    Goldenfox replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know a whole lot about the current world of CRNAs although I do know that their profession has its own challenges as well. But, they are in a different situation because CRNA school is much...

  13. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    Goldenfox replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't rely too much on the BLS guide. Some of the information in it is inaccurate. From what I have been observing recently I would highly recommend going to medical school over NP school. Just...

  14. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    Goldenfox replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If I could do a Ctrl+Alt-Delete I wouldn't go the NP route again. Its not what it used to be. The fly-by-night NP schools have cheapened and diminished our profession. Everybody and their mother is an...

  15. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    Goldenfox replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I used to work with a doctor who was a despicable human being but a very good cardiologist. He went to a Caribbean medical school because no US school would take him (age discrimination, I think)....

  16. Make more $$ and Work Less.

    Goldenfox replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Go into psych. That's where the money is. I just saw this job advertised, paying between $200k and $235k. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner job - Nationwide Jobs Available - Brockton, MA |

  17. Annual Salary (Part time)

    Goldenfox replied to BermudaTriangle's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What kind of NP are you, family, psych...? And what area of the country are you

  18. Why have you decided to become a NP and not a Doctor?

    Goldenfox replied to Lightning90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry, but I find it very difficult to believe this. I used to worked in trauma/critical care in hospitals for quite a while as an RN and I have never seen or heard of anything like this. Ibuprofen...

  19. Why have you decided to become a NP and not a Doctor?

    Goldenfox replied to Lightning90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And on what premise do you decree that NPs are "reckless"? How many NPs do you personally know to make such an insulting blanket statement about us? Its obvious to everyone that you don't like NPs but...

  20. Why have you decided to become a NP and not a Doctor?

    Goldenfox replied to Lightning90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    After I finished my BSN degree my professors kept pushing me to go on to the masters, so I did. I found myself becoming more and more disenchanted with bedside nursing as the years went by. And after...

  21. How not to suck!

    Goldenfox replied to NP2bman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I seriously doubt that any NP school out there prepares students sufficiently enough that the students absolutely will not suck. I've been at this a while and I have 'suckey' days where I occasionally...

  22. My professor told us NPs have no future...

    Goldenfox replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    TPP and TISA are dead. Healthcare will make a strong comeback after Obamacare. There will be plenty of opportunities for NPs. If you are in a large metro area where there is a glut of NPs then you may...

  23. New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

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

    Please, please, please tell me that you did not accept this job for that

  24. What do NP's wear

    Goldenfox replied to FutureNP111315's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Let me get this straight---this doctor is a good looking dude, probably young and thin too...,right? And there are two attractive , female NPs---likely of childbearing age---who very probably want a...

  25. Why is our salary so low?

    Goldenfox replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When we function as NPs we are still nurses practicing nursing, not nurses practicing medicine. So, the comparison of NP education and training to physician education and training is moot. The posts...
