What school doesn't teach about being a nurse practitioner: December 2010

http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 30, 2010. Put this baby to bed. Was on her way to work today and was wondering why her steadily moving flow of traffic came to a grinding halt. When she got to the intersection, she saw a person laying in the road with a woman kneeling by her side. NewFNP. Stopped, noted the decent sized pool of blood under the woman's head and checked for a pulse. Thankfully, there was one and the woman was responsive. She waited until the paramedics - the super hot. Is a little sad. NewFNP's. Has qui...

What school doesn't teach about being a nurse practitioner: November 2010

http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 29, 2010. The first time newFNP. Saw positive cerebellar findings in a chronic alcoholic, she thought that the patient had misunderstood her instructions. Not that rapid alternating movements (RAM) are so hard to describe, especially as newFNP. Always demonstrates said movements, but - you know - maybe the patient just missed the boat. Of a professional man in pleated Dockers-style pants demonstrated. A pretty great example of ataxic gait and, frankly, is kind of hilarious.). Noted that ...

What school doesn't teach about being a nurse practitioner: Broken safety net

http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2011/01/broken-safety-net.html

Sunday, January 23, 2011. NewFNP has no problem with HMO's. This is quite likely because newFNP is generally healthy, is in the know, and - in true newFNP fashion - has her primary care provider through one of the best medical groups in the nation. When newFNP went to her PCP and told her that she has been having diffuse esophageal spasms. If, however, you are newFNP's patient and you have a state-insurance funded HMO and you need specialty care, you are jacked. We do not. Yet. Son of a bitch. The patien...

What school doesn't teach about being a nurse practitioner: October 2010

http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 28, 2010. Thanks, but no thanks. It was placenta. The patient is fine albeit somewhat peeved. In her follow up visit, she told newFNP. That when she first felt something falling out of her lady business, she called her husband into the bathroom to survey the scene as she was unable to see beneath her newly post- partum. Abdomen. He confirmed that there was, indeed, something gone quite awry and that there was most certainly something alien in her nether regions. Has a decent article.

What school doesn't teach about being a nurse practitioner: End of an era

http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2011/02/end-of-era.html

Wednesday, February 23, 2011. End of an era. NewFNP said goodbye to her grandma this past Sunday. What a wonderful gift to have had her all these years and to have been able to take care of her in a way that honored her life and the extraordinary role that she played in newFNP's life. NewFNP and her brother were by her grandma's side as she took her final breaths and slipped away. And she will always, always be loved. Labels: newFNP personal story. My condolences for your loss. Indeed the love of ones gr...

What school doesn't teach about being a nurse practitioner: And swallow

http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2011/03/and-swallow.html

Saturday, March 26, 2011. The Friday before newFNP's grandma died, newFNP was scheduled to see a GI specialist to find out just what in the hell is up with her stupid esophageal pain. Of course, she cancelled that appointment and rescheduled it for yesterday. NewFNP's handsome, young and friendly gastroenterologist didn't think that newFNP is having diffuse esophageal spasms at all. No, in fact, he thought that she is having eosinophilic esophagitis. No Pledge of Allegiance? Labels: newFNP personal story.

What school doesn't teach about being a nurse practitioner: POP!!

http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2011/04/pop.html

Sunday, April 10, 2011. NewFNP has previously discussed the lady scourge of urinary incontinence. Kegels, ladies, kegels! But what newFNP hasn't talked about is the sister scourge of pelvic organ prolapse. Because when innies become outties, that is not so good. What newFNP did see was a fairly obvious cystocele-rectocele combination platter. As newFNP's patient had mentioned that the sensation of fullness was more pronounced when she was using force, newFNP went ahead and had her patient give her a ...

What school doesn't teach about being a nurse practitioner: This just in....

http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2005/10/this-just-in.html

Sunday, October 30, 2005. The reason I am exercising my vagina 100 times more than my abs or glutes is that the keynote speaker at the conference presented data from the WHI that stated that a full forty-frigging-one percent of women had some form of prolapse. Hey, maybe your bladder is just sneaking posteriorly into your vag, but maybe your cervix is at your knees. I don't want either. Kegel, Kegel, Kegel. feel the burn. Diabetes also plays a role in incontinence due to the nerve damage. So, let's s...

What school doesn't teach about being a nurse practitioner: May 2013

http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Nearly eight years ago, newFNP sat down and started this blog on the day that she started her NP career at her insane free health clinic. Cocoa Brown. Getting hit in the face by a patient. Getting hit in the face by cervical mucus. Crazy tattoos such that newFNP and Dr. Dual Ivy League Degrees, herself already moved on, had a running list of them. NewFNP will walk through the doors of that clinic for the last time tomorrow. Every year thereafter, Frank's brother and sister-in-law w...
