1. Return to the bedside

   2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 replied to Missmilo's topic in NP

   I also quit a horrible NP job I was in for 6 months. I'm going to return to the bedside as well. I miss having my 4 days off. I keep hearing that if you go back to being an RN from an NP, you will be held to a higher standard. But the hospital usuall...

5. Advice?? Having trouble finding NP job.

   2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 replied to seibeb2012's topic in NP

   There are so many jobs available. The problem is nobody is willing to take the time to teach new grads the ways of the office. They're all so used to the hospital setting, the office is a completely different world. They want people with experien...

6. Don't like my first NP job

   2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in NP

   Wow, pczoonurse, i feel like you worked for the same doctor that I work for. He is in his office talking on his phone about other business that he he "has" to tend to, while patients are piling up. And then there are patients that only want to see h...

7. Advice?? Having trouble finding NP job.

   2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 replied to seibeb2012's topic in NP

   You have to be an FNP to do retail clinics, according to their sites you have to be comfortable taking care of 18 month old's and older. I think she said she was adult/gero. I passed my boards in September last year, and didn't start working unti...

9. Don't like my first NP job

   2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in NP

   I have been casually applying, but many places here require at least 1 year of experience. I'm now even seeing jobs that say don't even bother applying if you don't have 2 -3 years of experience as an NP where I live.

10. Don't like my first NP job

    2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 posted a topic in NP

    I think I hate it. I've been there for 3 months, and I can't think of one good thing about it. I do office, hospital, nursing homes, rehabs, snfs, and take call. I feel like everything is being dumped on me. At first the doctor was super helpful, b...

11. My first week as an NP

    2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in NP

    I hate it. I've been seeing pts on my own now, and the doc doesn't come in till late now. Sometimes he doesn't show up at all. It's been a bit over 2 months, my fiance says I look miserable all the time now. She said I'm not the same person I w...

13. My first week as an NP

    2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in NP

    Update: I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing. It's been 4 weeks. But I do think I'm better than my first week, I hope. I want to like this job, but the hours are long, and my doctor's charting I feel is way too detailed compared to other doc...

14. My first week as an NP

    2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 replied to 2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7's topic in NP

    I did. He said don't worry about it. His words were "If podiatrists can call themselves doctors, why can't you call yourself doctor" I still introduce myself as my first name, then the NP for him. I still don't know what I"m doing in the office,...

15. My first week as an NP

    2bNotAnotherMaleNurse7 posted a topic in NP

    I have no idea what I'm doing. I work for a private practice. The doctor is nice, but he's super busy. I've been "shadowing" him for a week for my first week and he's showing me the charting, what he does with the paper charts, but it's so overwhel...
