  1. Starting a PLLC

    No matter if you form a PLLC, you will be sued personally. You cannot abdicate personal liability in Healthcare as a practitioner. This is why a lot of OBGYNs have their spouse hold title to all family assets. Maximum professional liability insurance...
  2. No, you do not need a business license. If you decided to put your name on a sign outside your office soliciting business then you will need to sign up for a business license (register for a "trade name") with the town/city you are in. The city will ...
  3. Medical marijuana

    I certify patients for medical marijuana in CT. I certify that it "might" help the patient and recommend non-combustible forms and start at no/ low THC high CBD products. I advise that it medical marijuana is always only a viable option as a 3rd line...
  4. Psych NPs and COPD/CHF/CKD/etc clinics

    This is a big trend. The term to describe it is "integrated care."
  5. "Cinch" for FNP malpractice insurance?

    I use CM&F. Much cheaper than NSO.
  6. VA Nurse Practitioner

    One employment strategy to consider is to work multiple part time jobs to total full time hours so that you can cull the best of both worlds of pay versus benefits. Try to find a part-time government job (either state or federal) at the minimum hours...
  7. How much experience before entering PMHNP program?

    I would agree with above advice to find inpatient experience of at least a year before or during psych np school. Since 80% of np grads will find themselves in outpatient settings, if you have a comfort level with and experience in inpatient psych th...
  8. Fellow NPs: What's your strategy for retirement?

    With the current health insurance market turmoil of gov't administrations trying to privatize medicaid and probably medicare, at 41 I am planning on the worst and not expecting to retire at 65 due to refusing to pay a fortune for quality healthcare.
  9. Haloperidol Short Acting Administration Setting

    It can be administered in any setting, technically. But it's unlikely to be administered in the home unless the family is super hands on, no pun intended. Definitely regularly used in the ER, not sure on a general floor of a hospital, but definitely ...
  10. Haloperidol Short Acting Administration Setting

    Sometimes the long acting can be administered in the home by a visiting nurse. But long acting can also be given to stable patient that is about to be discharged off an inpatient psych unit, too. I have never seen a short acting admin'ed in an ambula...
  11. 1099 Contract work

    Have to pencil out the numbers. Many times the reason employers offer the 1099 route is because it's in their favor, financially, instead of yours. If it is a 1099 setup then be sure hold them, as much as you can, up to the tax rule that the independ...
  12. Liability Insurance-School won't share?

    By the way, I would buy your own as well since you don't know the terms of the policy. Getting your own is not that expensive....probably not more than a couple hundred dollars.
  13. New and innovative FNP jobs?

    I believe weight loss is a huge field. Having a niche, boutique, cash only weight loss (perhaps concierge) practice would be a highly profitable business, in my opinion.
  14. Independent contractor advice

    Some tax write offs phase out once you make a certain amount of $. Certain real estate write offs totally phase out once you hit $155k, for example. Be sure to you take a circumspect look at your total tax picture, or at least ask your accountant to ...
  15. Compensation for Call Pay

    What Jules said + just remember that you have all the leverage here and don't let them lowball you. Might be too late now, but I would have couched it as I would *reluctantly* do the on-call in exchange for you getting the number you want. Also have ...
