Nurse practitioner

After coming home, I researched careers in nursing; I was fascinated by a wide variety of career options and…

helping people, my way of giving back to the world. For most people, they find a small goal and try to achieve it.

I feel that I can enjoy my job while helping those in need. But,…

In 2004, CMS created changes to the nephrology billing “bundling” allowing the charge for four visits a month, this in turn allows the NP to charge for three of those visits.

Becoming a nurse practitioner is something I have always dreamed of becoming. I entered a BSN program with that in mind 5 years ago. Following the completion of that program I took a job with an inpatient oncology unit. Starting as a brand new nurse was, for lack of eloquence, just plain hard. Working in the field of oncology I feel was even harder. I felt so overwhelmed mentally and emotionally and told my "coach" at work that I thought about quitting on a daily basis. She encouraged me to keep…
