Where do health and wellness practitioners work?
Q. Where do health and wellness practitioners work? In clinics? Do they just speak to people? Do they have clients that they teach to be more healthy? I can't find a good website about what they exactly do!

A. They can work in any holistic health office. In the area I'm from (Los Angeles area) most will train for a specific specialty such as herbs, colon therapy, lymphatic drainage, etc. These specialties help one build a clientele since in this economy not many people want to pay to be talked to and when so much info can be easily found through books and such. Then many will rent office space - usually a room - in a larger office where there is already client traffic. This is the normal starting course as in this area there are a lot of people, a lot of practitioners, but not a lot of places that "hire" for that type of work. In my case, I started out as a Nutritional Counselor, then trained for massage therapy and then colon therapy. I… [cont.]

Is it difficult for Nurse Practitioners to find employment?
Q. I am very interested in becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I am currently completing my Bachelor's degree and will be applying for the MSN-FNP program next year (they accept direct entry applicants). It doesn't seem like there are many job postings for Nurse Practitioners in the hospitals within an hour of here, though. Is it becoming difficult to find NP jobs? Will I have to be open to relocation?
Asked by Curiouser and curiouser - Fri Dec 11 15:52:04 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Nurse Practitioners and nurses, for that matter need to be open minded about relocating for the most opportunities. Trouble is, cities where there are large teaching facilities for these programs have a glut of new health care professionals that want to stay in the area after graduation. But, there are plenty of opportunites elsewhere, especially Florida and California. I just had a conversation with a M.D. about an hour ago about the growing shortage of primary care physicians over the coming years. She believes that FNP's will be required to help fill these gaps.. If your ultimate goal is to stay near family, you should be able to move back to home base in a few years . Hope I helped you.

Will alternative care practitioners have a case for an antitrust lawsuit?
Q. Their patients will be forced to buy mandatory health insurance, but that health insurance will not cover their care. This will result in fewer patients being able to afford care from alternative health practitioners, since their patients will be impoverished by the required health insurance. Is this designed to drive alternative health care practitioners out of business?

A. This depends on what the government and insurance companies decide is alternative care. For example Chiropractors are licensed in all 50 states. However, licensing does not mean that insurance companies are mandated to cover it. The current situation is of course that most alternative practitioners are not licensed or regulated and are also not covered by insurance. I would not expect that any insurance would cover any practices not established and regulated. Unfortunately, this is just another example of what happens when Americans try to quick fix (like we do everything else) a comprehensive health care system rather than studying those that already exist and trying to eliminate some of their weaknesses and keep their strengths.

A weapon will however, during practice will give you more of an awareness of your body and its mechanics.

What do you think of the health care provided by nurse practitioners?

I don't think NP's are a replacement for physicians, but they certainly seem to be well equipped to handle minor illnesses and other not so minor problems. They cost a lot less than a physician which is great for those without health insurance (about 40% of US). What are your thoughts on this?

Can Neonatal Nurse Practitioners write prescriptions?
Q. I'm currently in nursing school and I'm looking ahead to master's programs. I think I want to be a neonatal nurse practitioner, but I was wondering about the prescriptions. I know family nurse practitioners can write them, but does that apply to all nurse practitioners? Also, are there any restrictions on what you can prescribe and who you can prescribe it for? For example, if someone in my family got sick or a friend, could I write them a prescription for amoxicillin? Or is there some kind of rule against that?
Asked by Teena - Sun Jul 26 01:56:08 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Whether or not a NP can write prescriptions depends on the state. NPs are dependent prescribers. You can only write for what your physician says you can write. You cannot write for family or friends unless they are patients of your physician. A neonatal NP can only write for neonatal related prescriptions. If you write outside of your scope of practice, your license can be revoked.

How does taking multiple martial arts as a beginner confuse practitioners?
Q. I began Judo and Wado-ryu both quite recently, Judo a year ago and Wado-ryu 1-2 months ago. I don't get confused.
Asked by Commo's - Sat May 16 05:46:35 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You're studying a pure grappling system, and a striking system with a bit of grappling. You're not learning two different ways of throwing a punch. Naturally, that will be less confusing than if you were taking two different striking systems. I started off with Shorin-Ryu karate and studied it for over a decade. A few years ago I studied Goju-Ryu for a few months. While there were some similarities, I found myself taking steps that were much too large when doing two-man drills; this put me out of range for counter attacks in Goju, but would have granted me enough space to return with a lunge in Shorin. The "blocks" were also much more circular in Goju, and while that didn't take as much adjustment, it was still one more subtle thing… [cont.]

A. You're studying a pure grappling system, and a striking system with a bit of grappling. You're not learning two different ways of throwing a punch. Naturally, that will be less confusing than if you were taking two different striking systems. I started off with Shorin-Ryu karate and studied it for over a decade. A few years ago I studied Goju-Ryu for a few months. While there were some similarities, I found myself taking steps that were much too large when doing two-man drills; this put me out of range for counter attacks in Goju, but would have granted me enough space to return with a lunge in Shorin. The "blocks" were also much more circular in Goju, and while that didn't take as much adjustment, it was still one more subtle thing… [cont.]
