From nravey at bellsouth.net Sat Jul 7 23:01:29 2007 From: nravey at bellsouth.net (Nina Ravey) Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2007 01:01:29 -0500 Subject: [PrvPracNP] need to sell medical practice In-Reply-To: <034401c417a5$80a73160$209cfea9@VAIO> References: <20040401040133.NGRC1746.imf17aec.mail.bellsouth.net@nina> <034401c417a5$80a73160$209cfea9@VAIO> Message-ID: <08b201c7c125$6dce5d20$6701a8c0@NRAVEYMAIN> To List serve: I am a Family Nurse Practitioner in Southwest Louisiana with a RHC in a small town and have a great practice but my health is failing (a little bit before the hurricanes and then the hurricanes about did me in) and my son's last year in high school is soon approaching and soon he will be heading to college in Baton Rouge and my husband and I would like to move a little closer to him than we are now. Plus my daughter and her husband moved to Denver where he received a promotion and now she is working in a huge trauma hospital ER as an RN and absolutely loves it and we are going crazy with loneliness and would like to visit more than we are able to at this time. Anyway, I would like to sell my practice lock, stock and barrel and the RHC would just be transferred over to whoever bought it once we filled out the papers and sent to DHH. Good town for retirement. Close to much fishing and hunting. Lots of festivals around and the food is to die for - actually it is the best anywhere but so full of calories that you have to watch how much you eat or you might succumb to that which is not healthy - but delicious all the way - boiled crawfish (are not bad for you at all - but the beer and sauces we make and drink to go with it and the potatoes and corn with lots of butter and seasoning-yum!), jambalaya, gumbo, sweet dough pies, boudin, seafood margarita, fried chicken, turnip greens, pecan pie, country ham, chicken fried steak, grits, biscuits, sweet tea, catfish, cornbread, bread pudding, okra, butter beans, and moon pies, boiled peanuts, key lime pie, mint juleps, fig pies and cakes, syrup pies, chow chow, pepper jelly, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, okra, bread and butter pickles, broccoli casserole, eggplant-tomato casserole, etc (to name a few). A small town charm. I hate to leave, but cannot forsake my health. Therefore, if any of you know of someone who is looking to retire and still work a little, this would be the place. For NPs or PAs, working together and having a doctor that would collaborate with them, a mint is waiting, doctor only needs to come in every two weeks to make sure all is right and sign a few charts (no number required by state board of nursing or Medicare) and off the doctor goes while NP/PA work and rack in the cash. If a physician wanting to slow down, work less, hire a few NPs or Pas, appear every 2 weeks to look see, sign a few charts (no number required by state board of nursing or Medicare) and hunt and fish the rest of the time. I am looking to sell asap as my health continues to decline. Will sell to bidder who meets my price with cash in hand first. Price negotiable, but price in mind will be have to be met. I am getting a market analysis now. The building is 6000 sq. ft., at one time was home to 4 doctors, each with their own pod. Office is fully equipped. Office has a totally new roof (thank you hurricane Katrina/Rita). The office back parking lot is also blacktopped.. We offer a main street address which is the only address in the area which will be approved for RHC and any future FQHC plans which are quite possible and actually being worked on right now with plans on applying for a grant to write for the FQHC which carries with it a $650,000/yr budget the first year to run the clinic (I have not done this thus far mainly because of my poor health and lack of staff to write the grant for me - once they learned how of course!). I now have someone from ULL in Lafayette who has volunteered to help get a grant writer for me and will help with filling out the application, so I am excited about that possibility. I love the clinic and want it to succeed because I love my patients and want them to be taken care of when I leave. So I will do everything in my power to keep the clinic going and that means selling soon.

In addition, the added weight gain, a significant side effect in Depakote, effects the ego status of the child and teenager as well as the health status. It is definitely a good mood stabilizer, but Topamax is far superior in effect, compliance, no need for blood level monitoring and lack the side effects that impact weight gain . Sincerely, Pamela A.

In fact, on many long nights at the hospital I often felt her spirit around me. For years, I?ve been a champion of nurses and nursing, like my friend Barbie Dossey, who has initiated the Nightingale Declaration Initiative to raise public awareness about the critical role of nursing in healthcare. If you, like me, feel moved to sign this declaration, which follows, here?s your opportunity! Many blessings, Christiane Northrup, M.D. ____________________________________ Dear Concerned Citizens of the World, Your family?s health, your health, everyone's health is at risk! PLEASE GO TO _WWW.NIGHTINGALEDECLARATION.NET_ (http://www.nightingaledeclaration.net/) NOW. SIGN THE NIGHTINGALE DECLARATION CAMPAIGN. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), founder of modern nursing, had a clear vision of nurses' key role in promoting health and well-being for humanity for future generations: ?In the future which I shall not see, for I am old, may a better way be opened! May the methods by which every infant, every human being will have the best chance at health?the methods by which every sick person will have the best chance at recovery be learned and practiced." ?Florence Nightingale, 1893 Unfortunately, Nightingale's dreams are in jeopardy. Today, 80 percent of the world?s healthcare is delivered by nurses. A severe nursing shortage in the U.S., Europe and developing countries is creating serious, adverse impacts on human health and well-being worldwide. Dr. Hiroko Minami, President of International Council of Nurses that also manages the Florence Nightingale International Foundation, and Alan Gibbs, Chair of the Burdett Trust for Nursing join in saying: "Overcoming this crisis will require exceptional advocacy and leadership...addressing the magnitude of issues is not something any one organization can do alone." So we, at the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health (NIGH), ask you to join us?and a great many others?in taking the first crucial step. How can your signature make a difference? You will help us reach our goal: two million signatures urging the UN to declare 2010: International Year of the Nurse and 2011-2020: UN Decade to Create a Healthy World. Your support will overcome our most formidable obstacles in improving global health?raising public awareness. Together, we can realize Nightingale's dreams, making compassionate care and healthy lives a birthright worldwide?local to global. PLEASE SIGN THE NIGHTINGALE DECLARATION CAMPAIGN NOW AT _WWW.NIGHTINGALEDECLARATION.NET_ (http://news.hayhouse.com/t/202050/1390007/182/0/) . WE, nurses thank you for your help. Together, we can make this difference. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
