  • Seminar 1

    I have uploaded all the handouts for class 1 to the chat and message board.
    The exemption is the Patient Tracking form. I am uploading a Excel workbook for each student. The patient tracking form is a new assignment for this course and is going to be a trial run for other classes. This will provide me with information regarding the types of patients you are seeing in the clinical area. it should also be a tool for you to use when interviewing for positions to provide information regarding your clinical experiences.

  • Seminar 2 Employment Contracts

    Included are examples of NP contracts to assist your understanding of issues that are common in NP employment. Some are very simple and some are very detailed. I have also included an "independent contractor" agreement should you need one in the future. Remember, the NYS Collaborative Practice Agreement is an entirely different document and the two should not be confused. Please review these documents before class and be ready to discuss as per the course schedule.
     
    Review the chapter in Buppert's Book: NP Business and Legal Guide: "The employed nurse practitioner."

  • Seminar 3 - Palliative Care/End-of-Life Issues

    This seminar will include a student led roundtable discussion on the NYS Laws for End-of-Life Care. Each student should bring information to discuss on how your facility is meeting the new laws. What actually happens in the ER? How do patients and families view this issue? How does your preceptor or clinical site view this issue and how are they meeting these new requirements? We will have a NYS EMT as a guest to discuss what happens in the home.
