1. Starting An NP Business: Finding Investors?

   NHGN posted a topic in NP

   Hi all- I've been walking around with an idea to start a new business, for about six months now. I've done some basic market research and have spoken with a few similar businesses in the country. I think there'd be high demand in my area. How the hec...

2. Fellow ship (as in MD kind) good idea?

   NHGN replied to Tony1790's topic in NP

   It's just one guy's opinion, but check out episode 66 of The NP Dude podcast.

3. Psych/FNP Scope -Need Your Help!

   NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in NP

   Boston - Well...I've prescribed them once or twice while under physician collaboration. But there is no way I could prove this (ie it's documented in two patients' charts from ~2 years ago). Another experienced NP advised "You can prescribed those, ...

4. Psych/FNP Scope -Need Your Help!

   NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in NP

   Jules - there's nothing on their website. I spent 30 mins on hold on the phone only to get disconnected - I'll try again tomorrow! A few experienced colleagues have thought that the BON won't have information on this. Still others said refer to my h...

5. Psych/FNP Scope -Need Your Help!

   NHGN posted a topic in NP

   Hi all - As some of you will know, I'm a psychiatric NP with full practice authority in Connecticut. I have been approached by a friend about working p/t at one of those new trendy IV vitamin/hydration "therapy" places (actually this would be concier...

6. I'm an NP student - How did you choose your specialty?

   NHGN replied to abc616's topic in NP

   Well, consider it. Columbia has a well-known DE program, right? Why wouldn't we be as scrutinizing of their results as we are of studies funded by drug companies? There's no need to sensationalize my comment with a "fake news" follow-up.

   I imagine that may be quite biased.

8. Credentialing with Insurance Companies

   NHGN replied to andrew0623's topic in Advanced

   It's only been about 6 days since I started with Anthem. I've received three calls since then. So yes, I think there's been more movement. I'll keep you posted!

9. new grad NP contract negotiation

   NHGN replied to travelRN555's topic in NP

   This sounds super sketchy to me. At least they'll pay you hourly. Basically, you could be working full time M-F (since they say up to 40hrs), with part time benefits and a measly two weeks vacation. If you take it and hate it because they are awful, ...

10. Credentialing with Insurance Companies

    NHGN replied to andrew0623's topic in Advanced

    I had just started a cash-only practice at the very end of January and wasn't seeing as much interest as I had wanted. I just got credentialed with Anthem and I'm waiting on CIGNA and Aetna. I never thought to hire somebody to do it for me; the appli...

11. Stress level: RN vs. NP

    NHGN replied to NEMurse95's topic in NP

    I am way less stressed as a psych NP then a psych RN (or SICU RN for that matter). I see 15 pts a day max. Usually 12-14 with no shows. Two admissions max.

12. Opinion about a nurse's erros

    NHGN replied to PNPss's topic in Advanced

    You're a genius if your subject line was deliberate.

13. There has to be more besides indeed.com for NP job searches??!

    NHGN replied to ToFNPandBeyond's topic in NP

    You could use a recruiter?

14. Psych NP Inpt vs Outpt Pay

    NHGN replied to maabenaa88's topic in NP

    I think it depends on the individual business. I got a $17/hr raise when I switched from a hospital to an OP community clinic.

15. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

    NHGN replied to dmstanl1's topic in NP Students

    I don't see any overt trolling (what am I missing!)? OP- you might get a warmer reception if you gave us some evidence of putting in your own effort in finding this info before asking here. IE "I did a basic google search and it seems like most NPs i...
