24 Oct Discuss the type of practice and setting you would like to work out
1. Discuss the type of practice and setting you would like to work out of (specialty, family, geriatrics, hospital, nursing home, hospice, urgent care, etc.). What makes for an ideal work environment? What type of support system and staff do you need? What services do you see yourself providing? What services are you NOT willing to or are not comfortable providing?
2. How will you meet your CME requirements while practicing at this setting? How will you keep track of your CME hours?
3. What nursing organization(s) interest you in joining, and how will joining an organization benefit you at your position?
4. Once you have met the requirements for autonomy in your state while working at your current position, and for those of you who practice in a lifetime of collaboration state, assume you will one day have autonomy. How will you maintain your collaborative relationships with other nurse practitioners you have worked with, the practitioners you have referred to, as well as your collaborative physician?
