1. NP's how are you these days?

   ICU2NP replied to Corey Narry's topic in NP

   I work in LTC/TCU/AL settings. We have moved to mostly tele-health visits via the previously mentioned Doxy app- but it has been slow so we are also using FaceTime. Tele-health restrictions have gone out the window, so luckily I can work from home ...

2. Stressed as a nurse practitioner resident

   ICU2NP replied to nurse7502's topic in NP

   Yes I work for a private company that is local to where I live, they contract with the facilities (I do not work for the facilities). Many of the larger hospitals also have contracts with them. I believe if you just search LinkedIn, Glassdoor, etc....

3. I am looking for another NP job. How do I ask about the financial health of organizations?

   ICU2NP replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   Wow how awful!!! You will find something great, I'm sure ? Good luck and keep us updated!

4. Unhappy as new NP

   ICU2NP replied to PinkTulips13's topic in NP

   I agree with Dodongo... go outpatient and work in a specialty clinic. I think they get longer appointment times than in primary care, also. While I was applying for jobs I saw pulmonology clinics looking for acute care experience. I've heard this ...

5. Stressed as a nurse practitioner resident

   ICU2NP replied to nurse7502's topic in NP

   I think derm is pretty fast-paced also. An NP I am working with now did derm for awhile, and she said it was patients every 10-15 minutes. So she took a 50K pay cut to leave because it was too much. I am in the TCU, LTC, and AL setting. It is pret...

6. Need Honest Answers

   ICU2NP replied to ccuRN24's topic in NP Students

   I would shadow some NPs in both settings before making any decisions. I am an old ICU nurse, was there for 13 years. If you don't want crappy hours and weekends, don't do ACNP. Most jobs I saw for ACNP in ICU/hospitalist were 7 on 7 off, and you u...

7. Jobs other than in an office?

   ICU2NP replied to etoile88's topic in NP

   I'm not familiar with pediatrics, but is there some type of home care you can do in peds as an NP? I am working in different nursing facilities (LTC, TCU, assisted living) and somewhat making your own hours and not having set appointment times right...

8. Best Place to Find NP Jobs Available?

   ICU2NP replied to OncRN2015's topic in NP

   I had good luck with Glassdoor and LinkedIn.

9. What are the low stress nurse practitioner jobs

   ICU2NP replied to Azureshunter's topic in NP Students

   Could you expand on why? I'm not seeing anything written that discusses potential harm to patients.

10. NPs: What Clinical Rotations Did You LEARN the MOST?

    ICU2NP replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in NP Students

    Are you a primary care focused cohort? That’s probably why they are discouraging inpatient rotations? We weren’t really supposed to do inpatient rotations either, as we are primary care (AGNP). I learned the most in TCUs that had high acuity (not...

11. Preparing for the First Semester of NP School

    ICU2NP replied to Kayla18's topic in NP Students

    I spent the summer doing every activity possible with my kids, drank a lot of wine, and slept in Then I went casual at work (best idea ever), and figured out ahead of time when would be the best time to study. For me, it was to wake up at 5am and ...

12. AGNP'S please respond here!

    ICU2NP replied to nurseTdawg1's topic in NP Students

    I'm not officially an AGNP yet (graduate May 11) but I'll answer anyways... 1) I just signed a contract with a company that goes into various SNF, TCU, and assisted living facilities. 2) My area is saturated, so I was unable to find a job in a pri...

13. Would you take this job as a new gad?

    ICU2NP replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in NP

    I don't know if that is typical of NP residencies, but no guarantee of a position afterwards? I don't know if I'd like that. I guess it depends on how saturated the market is with NPs in your area. If it's super saturated, I might be more inclined...

14. Considering living off student loans my final semester (or two) - Advice??

    ICU2NP replied to anchorRN's topic in NP Students

    I would, and we have been using part of the student loans for some living expenses so that I could go casual at work and concentrate full time on school. I need to give my full attention to my studies, I owe that to my future patients. The last two...

15. Can AGNP's work in women's health settings?

    ICU2NP replied to dana16's topic in NP Students

    Women's health yes, OB no. I am interested in women's health but every women's health job I've come across so far also has an OB aspect... so unfortunately I can't apply to those.
