    Earning a PhD in Nursing after a JD and MSN

    I normally tell someone to follow their dreams, but the route you have charted doesn't make any sense. I will put a caveat that if you have a full ride or mostly full ride to a top 10 law school then you should absolutely take it. Otherwise the reaso...

    NP residency and salaries

    1. Depends on your organization. Our organization gives you 1 year experience - which leads to a raise one year earlier and $20k a year for the first two years (which sort of makes up the difference between the resident salary and the normal starting...

    Question re APP billing

    It depends on how they are credentialed. Generally in our institution they are licensed NPs and PAs. As such you can't have their procedures billed under the collaborating physician. Either you don't bill for the procedures or you credential them lik...
  13. Three issues: 1. The RVU bonus should be based on the RVUs you earn. The deduction comes on the payment per RVU, not the RVU, so they shouldn't make you earn more. 2. Since you don't work full-time, the RVU bonus structure should be adjuste...
  14. Apparently you don't work with internal medicine residents. While there are primary care focused IM residencies, most IM residencies are heavily concentrated on inpatient services. What this does point out is that primary care specialties are not gen...
