  1. Observation Unit NP

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Nurse_Ratched's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll give you my feedback. So I've been a NP for almost 5 years. Three of these years I've worked full time in a observation unit. Here's what I recommend: CDU is easy, mostly all protocol driven. In...

  2. FNP restrictions in Texas

    YoutubeTheNP replied to DocRawlings's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I could talk to you for hours on end about this topic. I'm a NP in Texas. I work in the hospital and I own my own clinic. I've built a lot of trust from the docs I work with. I can tell you, in the...

  3. I can't do chest compressions (CPR) will I be terminated?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    I really hope you have more than just foraminal stenosis that is preventing you from doing CPR. This is a very common finding on anyone over age 50. Your excuse and your restrictions is a true slap in...

    YoutubeTheNP replied to sc0811's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In Texas, my collaborating physician must be in the state. You should check your states BON or even the medical board's website to determine if there is a physical limit in mileage as to how far they...

  8. Dermatology for PNP?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Papoya's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're educational program has unfortunately limited you legally to only working with children. You'd have to go back for a post master's certificate in FNP if you wanted to work in dermatology in all...

    YoutubeTheNP replied to bancho's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't know of any ONE program that covers such a broad spectrum. That link you sent has resuscitation listed and ACLS, PALS isn't even considered for CE. There is also stuff on there like NG tube,...

  11. Any NPs here who own their own clinic?

    YoutubeTheNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Some of you may know I'm in the middle of opening a cash/free clinic focused on dermatology/skin procedures. Although I have no interest at the moment to accept insurance, I may want to down the road...

  12. Are there any NPs who could answer a few questions for me?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to emm13's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have my FNP. The company I work with has over 50 NPs and I only know maybe 2-3 that have their ACNP or ENP and honestly everyone else is FNP. The hospital system I work in recognizes FNP and allows...

  13. RMA vs AMA: Refusing vs Against medical advice?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    AMA is when the pt wants to go home, but the attending physician is not ready to discharge the patient. Refusing care in the hospital is not grounds for a AMA (PT, meds, food, whatever). We can't kick...

  14. clinical decision unit/observation/ short stay?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to katinthehatter's topic in International Nursing

  16. Nasal endoscopy in office?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to greygooseuria's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I like your enthusiasm towards advancing your skills and procedures. However, I don't see any advantage of doing it yourself in the office. First, why would you do a scope if you're treating for...

  17. Are there any NPs who could answer a few questions for me?

    YoutubeTheNP replied to emm13's topic in Advanced Practice

    I cannot practice independently. However, I have spent a fair amount of time with my attending physicians that they merely just sign my charts without ever really going over anything. I will always...

  20. Sharing Office Space

    YoutubeTheNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone have previous experience on starting a practice in an existing office i.e shared office space?? Here's what I mean: I am starting a free clinic starting off 1-2days a week. Instead of...

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Flaring's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I understand the nervous part. The other odd questions about HTN and derm though made me wonder what was going on during school and clinical. Some basic stuff if you ask me. Anyway, I didn't know you...

  23. New NP: Nervous, need resources and advice!

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Flaring's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Reading your posts is concerning. You seem quite unprepared to medically manage simple issues. If you want resources, you should start reading your textbook for some sound advice, you remember that...

  24. Pulonary nodules--help!

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Use the Fleischner society pulmonary nodule recommendation chart. Why would you treat for latent TB upon seeing a calcified pulm nodule? Do they have hx of TB? If so, that is probably just from...

  25. Sharing Office Space

    YoutubeTheNP replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not expecting a large census. So if I see 4-7 patients a day, it will be no big deal as far as collecting vitals and going over H&P. As far as lab results go, I'll go over results when they...
