    socal1 replied to SopranoKris's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  3. For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

    socal1 replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    The role of the NP is losing its status because these schools are accepting everyone and not looking at their background, no entrance exam or anything. Just because you were a good bedside nurse will...

    socal1 replied to mahaandai's topic in Advanced Practice

    Unfortunately, many of these things are true and with the amount of incompetent NP's running around you will see decreased reimbursements and worse things occur to NP's because of so many mistakes...

  5. Feeling Lost As An NP

    socal1 replied to plantmom4lyfe's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would like to refer AlwaydTiredNP to reddit.com/r/noctor how can you be a NP and diagnose, treat, but only piggyback off of MDs...didn't they say in school NP care is to the standard of MD....you...

  8. Acute Care NPs - To do a residency or not?

    socal1 replied to SopranoKris's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. OMG, I cannot believe what I did. What I should do now!

    socal1 replied to SoNan's topic in General Nursing

  12. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    socal1 replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

  13. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    socal1 replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed that in the US most female professions have these issues where it seems you are so worried about your license than actually the patient. You dont see this in medicine as much or with...

  14. Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    socal1 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I had a question about the full scope of practice changes that are slowly occuring in certain areas. If this is enforced and NP's have full scope of practice, are they still able to work under MD's or...

  18. FNP Oversaturation

    socal1 replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As much as there may be more pay in Norcal, the cost of living there is also very high. Side note, I am glad that bachelors is the preferred method for nurses nowadays, it should of been that way a...

  19. Giving last name in report

    socal1 replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    You have never ever given a patient your last name? Do you guys wear badges at your hospital? Or do you work at a pysch ward? I am pretty sure all of the nurses that work in hospitals in CA must wear...

  20. FNP Oversaturation

    socal1 replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
