Im in a similar situation, we are moving to pa but the closest job I could find was 40 miles away. The road is not high traffic and its a pretty easy drive. I already spend over an hour commuting by public transportation in my current job. Only disad...
if the attending wants to bill under his/her name (incident to) then the initial visit must be completed by the attending. If you are billing under your own name there is no reason you can't see the patient initially. I work in a specialty and when w...
Goldenrod, you plan to write articles on the topic of your choice and then submit them for publication? I guess my first step would be getting my paper from school published... It was rejected from the first journal i submitted to and then i started ...
I have extensive freelance writing/editing experience but not in the medical field. How do I break in? I'd like to work on a freelance basis. I actually interviewed once for a clinical editing job with a major publisher but they required full time an...
I do not work in an ER but I did do clinical rotations in an ER so I will try to answer some of your questions. - What level ESIs do you see? Do you see only 4/5s? Or all acuities? As a student I only saw 4-5's but I shadowed on more acute patients a...

My thoughts exactly. There hasn't been any real break in this case for over a year. I'm also surprised she's held out as long as she has, but the family will do whatever they're gonna do. For people who ask why they can't move on, maybe the question ...

We had a suturing workshop in NP school but I didn't have an opportunity to practice the skill in clinicals. During my ER rotation they mostly used glue. In my workplace suturing doesn't come up.

I got my first bachelor's through an online school, which I was then able to use to get into an accelerated nursing program (I did science pre-reqs at a brick-and-mortar). My experience with them was very good. I had an advisor who was very supportiv...

My first job is in pediatric pulmonology. Pros: 1. an area where there's a lot of need (where I live has one of the highest rates of asthma in the country) and you can really see your work making a difference in kids' lives 2. Lots of autonomy, I wor...
I don't regret becoming an NP but I sometimes regret my choice of specialty. I still feel that pediatrics is the best fit for me in terms of personality and aptitude, but I wish I had gone with a higher-paying choice. Also, the FNP program was only o...
As a new grad RN I interviewed for a job in Albany Medical Center and the starting salary for an RN was about 50k, so 80k for an NP does not surprise me.
I have been working as an NP for about a year and a half. What you feel is completely normal. For a good six months I felt like I was play-acting. I checked everything with the MD. Now I check maybe 1 in 10 patients with the MD. I work in a specialty...
There is no single best NP job. The best job is the one that's the best fit for you. Sometimes you have to see the opportunities and use your job as a platform to get to where you want to be. You may not have a lot of choices straight out of school f...
