3. Travel NP position

   lannisz posted a topic in NP

   Hi all, I have been unable to find a full time/perm position in my area and have always wanted to try Locum Tenens. I have found a position 3 hours from home in a family practice clinic. They need an NP to fill a temporary need while their NP is on a...

4. "Not a Good Fit"

   lannisz replied to lannisz's topic in NP

   Thanks for all your supportive comments guys...it is difficult not to take it personally. Rejection is tough. Especially because i know I did my very best and worked my A** off. I felt strong initially and that I was doing the right thing by resignin...

5. "Not a Good Fit"

   lannisz posted a topic in NP

   Hi All, I haven't been on the forum for awhile. 2 weeks ago I had my yearly evaluation and I felt like I was ambushed. When I walked in the room to meet with my supervisor, I was surprised to see the clinic director and office manager in the room as...

6. opinion on this job please?

   lannisz replied to lannisz's topic in NP

   Thank you. You are so right that I need to clarify my role and scope of practice with them. I'm just not sure where and who to start with. The practice seems to decide everything "as a team" and there is no "top dog" to go to. I had to have 7 separat...

7. opinion on this job please?

   lannisz replied to lannisz's topic in NP

   Yes, I am a new grad. However, I have been told there were other NP's who have worked there in the past and left because of this type of treatment. They didn't like feeling so controlled. Sometimes the hovering makes me feel more secure, but other ti...

    lannisz posted a topic in NP

    Hi all, I started a new NP job back in December working for a pediatric practice. There are 7 physicians who all seem like very nice, dedicated people. I took the job knowing my expected days of work would be Fri 9-7, Sat 9-5, Sun 12-5 and Mondays 9-...

11. I think my sister has Munchhasens (LONG)

    lannisz replied to lannisz's topic in General Nursing

    Very true, thank you...I am writing a letter to her doctor with details about the home situation. He won't give me any info about the situation due to HIPAA, but at least I can inform him about what's really going on at the home of his patient and ho...

12. I think my sister has Munchhasens (LONG)

    lannisz replied to lannisz's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. It's so true of my situation as well that advice is met with hostile ("how could you even suggest such a thing...she's your sister!") reactions. They refuse offers of help. Still, I struggle every day with guilt.

13. I think my sister has Munchhasens (LONG)

    I have a family situation that I am extremely concerned about and don't know what to do. I could really use some advice. My parents are in their early 80's and took my older sister (age 47) into their home 5 months ago to care for her. My sister has ...

14. job opportunities

    lannisz replied to johnson0424's topic in NP

    Please, don't rush to make a decision! I made a mistake and took the first position I was offered because I felt I had to get an NP position right away. I knew the place had a bad rep but took the job anyway and I ended up in a very bad position and ...

15. Still no job for me...

    lannisz replied to christvs's topic in NP

    Don't give up! Think about what type position you really want and send a resume/cover letter there. I was interested in working with peds and even though I am an FNP I have a lot of work experience with the peds population. Anyway, I went through the...
