[PrvPracNP] Websites/Blogs for and about NP's

[Barbara C. Phillips]

Colleagues,

 

Forgive the cross posting, but I wanted to get this out to as many of you as
possible.

 

If there was a blog or a website that was geared toward NPs in Business (any
kind of NP business/practice), and another one geared to health care
consumers about NP Practice, would you be willing to participate? 

 

The first one would be geared toward NP business owners and those who wish
to start a business (different types of practice and business). I envision
it being our own experiences, a place to ask questions and get answers. A
resource for those starting out and those of us already there. It would
require input from other NP's as I can not possibly do it myself. Would you
be willing to write an article, post to the blog, make comments, answer
questions, talk about your practice, and/or ????

 

The second one would be geared toward health care consumers and the public
in general. What NP's can do (ie scope of practice), advantages of having an
NP as your primary care provider, etc.  Education is sorely needed (just
yesterday, I had to explain to a rep for an A1c device, that I was "the
doctor" and not "the nurse" and I could indeed order and perform the test!).
Again, I ask if you would be willing to participate. You would be able to
talk about resources in your neck of the woods, your own practice, the types
of practices, etc. (I also hope to get some "real" patients to give their
input on the difference in health care they receive from NP's).

 

I look forward to hear your comments, thoughts, and suggestion.
