How do I apply for an NPI # when I am a travel nurse. I have a compact RN license (primary state is from West Virginia). I am a travel nurse and took my AANP Boards in CO. Colorado is also where I am currently a travel nurse in. I am hoping to get a job as a FNP in Colorado. Which address should I put down in the NPI application?

One of my professors asked me if it was always reversible and I always thought it was. She told me to look it up. From what I have found in most cases it is reversible but National Institutes of Health states, delirium is not always reversible and can result in long-term cognitive impairment. I was just curious as to how it is not reversible. A lot of articles and journals say that delirium is reversible most of the time but do not state when it does not become reversible. I am just curious if anybody else had knowledge of delirium not being reversible.

Is delirium always reversible?

Thank you!!! If I do risk for infection related to UTI. Does that work? Because a UTI is already an infection?
