  1. Psychiatric nurse practitioner pay

    Chuckle yes I’m metro Atlanta. I wish it were Miami! We have had literally ten people quit in the past year, and countless clerical, nursing, counseling, and other positions quit. Admin doesn’t care. Our nps went to travel RN, do Botox or mlm stu...
  2. Burn out in psychiatry

    Wow….I get 20 min fups, 30 min transfers and 60 min new evals. And we’re still getting lectures about being productive. We also have a huge substance abuse comorbidity population and I’m coming home crying or screaming or both in the car most days....
  3. Psychiatric nurse practitioner pay

    Wow I would love to know where everyone gets these salaries that isn't coastal California. I'm pmhnp who was in psych 6 years before going to grad school. I'm in the deep south, and suburban to the largest city in the south. After 9 years of NP, ...
  4. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    Wow. People are talking about NP residencies only paying 80k per year. Where y'all live-- cause I've been working for 7 years in PHMNP in public health no less and it took 7 years to get above 80k. My initial hire salary was 30 per hour and that w...
  5. What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    Wooow. Thank you. Yes, I have been eyeballing New Mexico and AZ for years, in fact, I am attempting to learn Spanish to be more marketable. But unfortunately my family won't move at this stage. My hope is to do telemedicine to AZ in 3 years or so...
  6. In Georgia we can only prescribe c3-5. And our salaries suck. Hour per hour I make as much as a teacher with the same exp, degree, etc. This is outside ATL yes.
  7. PMHNP compensation and benefits Southeast

    Da#n I work in suburban ATL and I don't make that after seven years. I am so ready to move.....
  8. What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    Ah, don't go into psychiatry for the money. It won't last. And in my state--which has NO autonomy at all-- it's taken me seven YEARS to get to my piddly salary that barely grazes 100. To put it in another perspective, a teacher with the same numbe...
  9. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

  10. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Starting a business depends on your state's autonomy, too. Here, you can't start your own business to work independently, nor can you just pay a doctor to oversee your charts. The doctor has to be the owner of record of the business and "invite you...
  11. Any NPs working for the VA?

    Ugh, guys, I'm turning green! I'm psych NP with 5 years NP and 11 years total nursing. I am so ready to move to AZ!!! Our state is one of the worst in the union for autonomy and the pay shows it bigtime. We also have no union to defend us or save ...
  12. NP Salary vs. RN salary

    It depends on your specialty, and your state. In my state, we have very restricted NP practice. I have had offers ranging from $30 hour W2 no benefits!! to $65 after 5 years experience and that is 1099/contract labor. And everything in between. ...
  13. DEA licenses in more than one state?

    I wanted to add - the type of DEA that you can get by working for your state/public health, etc (the "free" one) cannot be used in any other setting or employer, same state or not.
  14. Interview this week in Acute Adult Psychiatric Unit!

    I've been in psych for 11 years now, going strong. #1 if you've ever read harry potter, "constant vigilance!" Never forget where you are or why the patients are there. They did not get to the hospital by an accident. They are there because they ...
  15. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    I'm like that also, shy, and tend to isolate. Our pre-nursing orientation blabbed about how what great friends we'd become, solidarity. Right. I would not have been surprised to see one slit another's throat in the parking lot to get ahead. Backs...
