This question goes out to the nurse practitioners who have worked or are working in medical groups with multiple physicians: So I recently became certified as an NP (hooray!) in Pennsylvania. However, my education was lacking on the "how to's" post-certification. I accepted a job in an outpatient clinic that has three physicians. This office has never had a nurse practitioner before so they are beyond clueless about what I need to look like on paper. I finally got a practice agreement settled, and I am now moving on to the prescriptive authority end of it. My question is; I will have one collaborating physician and two subs on my prescriptive authority and only one physician on my practice agreement (when I graduated I didn't even know there was a difference). Can I still see and care for the patients belonging to my substitute physicians? Or can I only see the patients belonging to my collaborating physician? Do I need separate agreements for each physician? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
