If you have prescriptive authority, you can also renew that at the same time. All nurses in Virginia renew their licenses during the month of their birthday. The entire process can be completed online. Since you had to apply for your initial license online, you already have a user name and password for the Department of Health Professions Online Licensing website. Just go to https://www.license.dhp.virginia.gov/license/ to renew your licenses. If you were born in an even-numbered year, you'll renew your license on even-numbered years, regardless of the year it was initially issued. If you were born in an odd-numbered year, you'll renew your license on odd-numbered years. NPs in Virginia may be able to apply for prescriptive authority after working 2 years as an NP. During those 2 years, you must work at least 1,000 hours and complete at least 15 credits of continuing education in pharmacology. To be eligible for prescriptive authority, you also must show that you studied pharmacology or pharmatherapeutics during your graduate nursing studies. You also need at least 30 contact hours in pharmacology education. Once you have 5 years of full-time clinical experience under the direct supervision of a physician, you can apply to practice autonomously. This license would allow you to practice as an NP without being supervised by a physician. You can download the autonomous practice license application at https://www.dhp.virginia.gov/media/dhpweb/docs/nursing/forms/NP_AutonomousPractice,.pdf.

summary: Follow the state regulations governing nurse practitioner practice. Demonstrate compliance with Virginia continuing education requirements. Renew your licenses every 2 years. Complete a separate application for prescriptive authority after 2 years. Apply for an autonomous practice license after 5 years if desired.

Summarize the following:
Place the sand dollars in a container filled with fresh water. As the sand dollar sits, the water should start to get brown. When the water gets to be a murky brown, replace it with fresh water and submerge the sand dollars again. Keep swapping out the water and submerging the dollars in fresh water until it stops turning brown. Fully cleaning the sand dollars could take anywhere from 1-3 hours. Sand dollars can be found in shallow water, in the sand on a beach, or under seaweed. Pour 1 part bleach and 3 parts cold water into a bucket or container to create your solution. This process will whiten off-white or brownish sand dollars. Wear a pair of rubber gloves and carefully place the sand dollars into the solution to bleach them. Do not soak the sand dollars in the bleach solution for too long or they can crumble. Run the sand dollars under cold water from your faucet to remove the bleach and water solution. Leave the sand dollars in a sunny place for 1-2 hours to dry them. Let the sand dollars completely dry before moving onto the next step. Pour the PVA, or white glue, into a container and add an equal amount of water. Mix the solution together with a wooden stick or a brush until the glue and water are mixed thoroughly. Applying this solution will harden the sand dollar and make it easier to paint on. Elmer's Glue-All is a popular type of PVA glue. Dip a paintbrush into the glue and water solution. Apply the solution liberally over the top surface and underside of the sand dollars with large, broad strokes. Lay 2 chopsticks or toothpicks on a table so that they are parallel to each other. Then, lay the sand dollar over the sticks so that the chopsticks or toothpicks prop the sand dollar off the surface of the table. This will serve as a makeshift stand and will prevent the solution from coming off the bottom of the sand dollar.

summary: Submerge the sand dollars in fresh water to clean them. Soak the sand dollars in a bleach and water solution for 5-10 minutes. Rinse off the sand dollars and let them dry. Create a 1:1 mixture of water and PVA glue. Coat the sand dollars with the glue and water solution. Lay the sand dollars on 2 chopsticks and let them dry.

Summarize the following:
Nutrients are most plentiful in fruits and vegetables that have just been picked. The longer you wait to eat your food, the more nutrient loss will have occurred. Only buy as much as you will use in a few days. It is better to shop more often and have fresher food options. Shop at markets that offer the freshest food. In season, you may be able to buy directly from farmers or at farmers' markets. Cooking vegetables can reduce the amount of vitamin C they contain, though it can also increase other valuable nutrients, such as lycopene. Broccoli, watercress, and garlic are all generally better raw than cooked. Moderation and balance are the keys. Raw broccoli contains sulforaphane, a potentially protective compound, and raw carrots contain polyphenols, another protective group of chemicals. Cooking these vegetables destroys these compounds, but replaces them with other beneficial substances including indole and carotenoid. Air, water and heat all attack vitamins starting at the surface of the produce. Vegetables cut into large pieces will retain more nutrients in cooking than small pieces. If you need smaller, bite-size pieces, you can always cut them smaller prior to serving. Avoid fruits that were picked green. Tomatoes ripened outdoor on the vine can have twice as much vitamin C as greenhouse tomatoes, for example.
summary: Eat fresh foods. Include raw food in your diet. Reduce surface exposure. Choose fruits ripened in the sun.
