   I hope you got a new job??? Regardless of how much you are paid at this job, remember: quality of life is important. Been there, done it, don't ever want to go back!

   Post your resume on nursingjobcafe.com. Recruiters will contact you!

3. preceptor woes

   Tesses replied to lfoglia1's topic in NP Students

   I can imagine! What state are you? Tidy up your resume with a great introductory letter and walk into as many clinics as you can. Attend your local NP meeting and request that they let you talk fir 2mins. I am assuming you are already some form of ...

4. How long for TX APRN license!

   Tesses replied to andy25's topic in NP

   That means they need it then. See the copy &paste info from their site. The nurse reviewer puts in all kinds of requirements. Just check everyday to see if any new thing added so you can stay abreast of it all. I will say you email it to them so ...

5. How long for TX APRN license!

   Tesses replied to andy25's topic in NP

   You typically don't need the board certification. They may request verification of program from your program director if you don't have it yet. It takes average of 4-8weeks depending on what the 'nurse reviewer' needs again! You can't talk to anyone ...

6. Take the Offer as a New Grad?

   Tesses replied to Vitabella's topic in NP

   In my recent searches and actual offers in Texas....I don't think I came across 60k offer! There were offers for 80/90k for new grads and 6 figure salary for 1-2yrs experience in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houstin, Midland and so on. It is very typi...

7. Take the Offer as a New Grad?

   Tesses replied to Vitabella's topic in NP

   Yes...emoloyers know what they are doing really! While I fought for pay adjustment with my employer + review of benefits, I discovered a coworker is given $250 CME allowance while I get X10 of that amount.....maybe he didnt negotiate. ..who knows.......

8. Take the Offer as a New Grad?

   Tesses replied to Vitabella's topic in NP

   Counter the offer with a higher amount and request for benefits.....if the figure is still too low (depending on your area), give yourself more time & keep searching. Regardless of area, I would say NPs should'nt take less than $73k annual salar...

9. Resources for primary care NP

   Tesses replied to Fnpatlast's topic in NP

   I do hope things are getting better after your initial post. It is very normal to get nervous as a new grad but please, don't overwhelm yourself. Out of all the resources you have, just stick to 2/3 of them. You may find the 5min clinical consult to ...

11. Shocked by MD care of my patients

    Tesses replied to grammynp's topic in NP

    I guess that's been our 'fight' that they are not any better than us......I dont think I will give in to the fact that she is 'better equipped/prepared' than us. There are many horrible providers across the board

12. New Grad NP Salary vs Hourly Pay California

    Tesses replied to saynotojello's topic in NP

    I don't know much about california, however, $50/hr doesn't sound too bad......but consider/ask how many patients are you expected to see per day? You don't want to be burnt out seeing 30patients/day for $50/hr. Clarify the numbers! You haven't signe...

13. How do you gracefully leave a job after less than a year?

    Tesses replied to Alicia777's topic in NP

    I would say your letter may just be very brief without stating the reason in it. However, prepare to discuss the reason with your supervisor/HR verbally- also very professionally, while you make sure to state that you also like the job & you are ...

14. Shocked by MD care of my patients

    Tesses replied to grammynp's topic in NP

    Like you said, she is a new MD grad.....still a lot to learn in clinical practice. MD title does not make her any better than a new grad NP. You can call your patients and have them make sooner appointments without mentioning to them that the MD did ...

15. Need insight

    Tesses replied to misslaceyob's topic in NP Students

    It is possible to get done on time especially if your EMR has built in templates for most things. I have really never stayed an hour behind for charting except for my first month on the job....8-5.....and Im done!..and yes. ...notes completed! Medic...
