2. Decent new grad pay

   ashonman replied to ashonman's topic in NP

   Riburn3 you are absolutely rightmentoring is important to a new grad's growth in this profession. If you are not careful you will get caught up in trying to make a quick buck which will end up costing you in the long run.

3. Decent new grad pay

   ashonman replied to ashonman's topic in NP

   I guess as a new grad you take what you can get until you get you feet wet. There are other variables we will have to consider. I will probably take a 90k with good benefits over 110k with crappie benefits.

    Very interesting. ..well I went for a second interview, toured the place and it was no different than any long acute care unit with the exception of all the prisoners wearing white. The other cool thing is the providers do not work for the prison s...

12. Prison Provider

    ashonman replied to ashonman's topic in NP

    Sure shadowing will be great to get a feel of what actually goes on there as a provider. From what I understand as a provider you don't go to the inmates they come to you at the clinic/hospital inside the prison. The bit of going through shake down ...
