if you all recall, this person was OFFERED the job. Why do you think that you need special certification to detox outpatients? It is not like the NP is a peds specialist going to work with adults in detox. Maybe you could reach out to the NP already in the practice and get more insight?

absolutely within your scope of practice! I have worked with the drug, patients in SNF's are resistant to taking it, they have preferred the opiods. Good luck!

Try contacting AANP for guidance.

Goldenfox, I would like to be your best friend! Very wise words and truth. Does anyone ever do an offshoot of this forum for more specific support for APN's.....hint hint Goldenfox.

I feel your stress! Take anything to get experience. I started with the United Healthcare Group, doing home H & P's. Pay was excellent, support from other NP's. I think that with the past down turn of the economy people are working more to keep their jobs. Married females may have husbands who lost their jobs. Also look to the AANP or ANCC sites for job opportunities. Best wishes.
