The Nurse Practitioner’s Place

Hello to all! I met with a prospective nurse practitioner employer today for lunch. He brought the office manager with him and I think it went well.
Things we discussed…
1. Making rounds at the hospital and satellite clinics that are in the works.
2. Taking call
3. Insurance
4. Paid time off
5. Vacation time
6. Holidays that the office is closed.
7. Retirement benefits
8. Doing an internship in the office during the last 6 weeks of school so that I don’t have to work full time and do clinicals. (yeah baby!)
9. Salary range potential.

I think we will work well together and I am awaiting the final news so I can give my two weeks notice at my current job.

How exciting is this!!!!!! Wish me luck!!!!!

Here’s an article about a new DNP program. Enjoy!

Here’s the 2006 prescriptive authority update. I really hope that Florida finally releases it’s hold on controlled substances for NPs.

This is the same thing that we are doing at the hospital I work in. The only problem is that we don’t have enough private rooms to put everyone in that is coming up positive for the MRSA screen. Enjoy the article!

I FINALLY finished collecting my data for my thesis today. Now I can send it to the statistical analysis person and see if my presumption is true.

All I have to say so far is.. Don’t be a white female on antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors at the same time.

I have to have the thesis finished by the 23rd of Feb. so I won’t be blogging much in the next few weeks!

Don’t forget to wear red in honor of Women’s Heart Health!
