Changes at The Nurse Practitioner's Place

Hello to all.. I am proud to present the new template for this site. Give me some feedback love or hate if you don't like it! Let me know if I missed anyone on the links or if it needs to be adjusted.
We survived Fay with no damage or standing water. What a relief! Hope everyone else did as well. I will be canceling my other npplace.com so you can take it off your links. No traffic and the template was hard to work with. Guess I'll have to stick with Blogger who has never really let me down!

Nurse Practitioner Issues When Your Patient Doesn't Have Insurance

I am having a very difficult time with a local hospital regarding a particular patient who doesn't have insurance. He has been suffering through what appears to be a relatively easy problem that is surgically solvable but no one will do anything about it.
After numerous visits to the ER and being sent home, I am getting a little pissed. I can't follow this patient into the hospital because I don't have admission privileges. Our practice lets the hospitalists take care of the patient (if they EVER get admitted!).
Does this patient have to become gangrenous and die just to get evaluated?
ARGH!!

Nurse Practitioner's Son Rocked The FCAT!

I am so proud of my youngest son! We just got his FCAT scores from last year (4th grade) and he rocked it! The reading section top score possible was 2638. The average 4th grader scored 1456 and he made a level 5 (2146). In the math section, the top score possible is 2330. The average 4th grader scored 1444 and he made the maximum score of 2330. What Mom couldn't resist bragging just a little?

Nurse Practitioner's Son Is Going Into The Navy

Hello to all! My husband and I had a busy last few days getting our 18 year old ready to join the Navy. We sat in the processing facility from 10:00 until 6:00 pm and he signed on as an Advanced Air Crewman. Now I get to read all of his paperwork and figure out what exactly he will be doing. He has always been one to work with his hands and likes electrical and mechanical things. I figured that the Navy would be the best for him to get some education and learn a trade as well as travel.
He'll be going to Illinois for 8 weeks of basic training then back to Pensacola for the rest for up to 32 weeks. He signed on for a 6 year tour. I really hope that he does well for himself and comes out a well rounded young man. We are so proud!
