I really appreciated this video. I don't want answers to boards I've already passed those. I'm starting my first job as a provider and these are really helping simplify it because ya girl is getting nervous lol
This is a very important question when interviewing. You want to have time to feel acclimated to your new job as an NP. I would ask questions about the average new provider orientation. Red flags are ,”1-2 days or a week”.😳
I typically follow the algorithm for the specific condition to decide about steroids or muscle relaxants. Typically for orthopedic injuries, there's a LOT of people prescribing steroids but not a ton of research supporting it's efficacy over other NSAIDs. So typically I'm following a muscle relaxant/NSAID/physical therapy combination for most MSK injuries! Up-to-Date is my favorite reference to consult

You got this!
Good points. Wrt NSAIDs use, however, be careful not to prescribe them to liver cirrhotics, those w/hx of UGIBs, gastritis, etc.
Yes safety first !
Great info....thank you

Awesome, thank you!
You're welcome! And thank you!
Hello, I was wondering when you landed your first NP job if there was a training period?

Liz, do you prescribe muscle relaxers and or steroids for the inflammation?
PS I love all your videos, thank you so much for all you are doing 😊.

Was that a cat purring in the background?
Nope! Maybe just a sound glitch!
