  1. Revenue streams? Psych np?

    I think you're reading to much into the vocab. It just means income. Money for service. It's not passive income. There are disadvantages and advantages. You have a minor issue and cant see a provider for 5 months vs today, today might prevent some...
  2. Revenue streams? Psych np?

    She has had 2 inpatient positions and a few telemed np positions and claims she works 4 times as hard doing telemedicine as a psych NP.
  3. Revenue streams? Psych np?

    My friend that does it says it is way harder than hospital work though. I don't know if its worth getting thr psych degree. I think it takes a year roughly 30k
  4. Shockingly low NP pay !

    There are plenty of places rns make 22 an hr as well. California taxes are super high so is cost of living. Youd be better off making 85k in ohio than 120k in the bay area. I have heard in California though a lot of places it may not be worthwhile...
  5. Shockingly low NP pay !

    Guess I had a job and they went up $20 an hour like it was nothing when I said I won't work for what they offered I probably could have went up higher. The director at the last site I was working at as it MD was offered double when he quit. Sure loca...
  6. Shockingly low NP pay !

    There's definitely a myth that RN make more than NPs. I make 4 times as much as I did as an RN base rate maybe 2.5 if you factor in weekend differentials and what not. NPs have a lot more negotiating power. I have a side job now I told the employe...
  7. New Grad NP

    Personally I think you're going to find your first job very stressful. I wouldn't want to take on two at the same time. I looked at my first job as something I absolutely hated but it was a great learning experience. You will be much more valuable in...
  8. Revenue streams? Psych np?

    I was curious to get someone's take. I'm an emergency nurse practitioner which I don't particularly love the job. I have done a few months of primary care which was more something I felt like I was good at. I want to be able to make some money on the...
  9. NP Work life balance

    I am leaving my first job in about a month that I hated in an ER that I was in for about a year. I picked up a locum contract for part of April. I am considering moving. The problem with my last job is everyone stayed after hours. In the company ...
  10. Is the Grass Really Greener on the CNP side?

    I am going to disagree with some of these responses. I wouldn't say purely do it for the money, but I find NPs have a larger diversity of platforms to work in. One of the most appealing choices if you no longer have to work for a large healthcare s...
  11. Salary and Locum

    I am graduating as an FNP in Pittsburgh in a few months. I have heard of people getting starting jobs around 60 an hour in Ohio. I have also heard of some very impressive Locum rates as high as 170 an hour for neonatal NPs. I have a decent amount ...
  12. Do you believe the pain is all in your head?

    I think it sure can be. I work in an ER and the majority of patients with fibromyalgia have a psych history and I find it interesting some psych/anxiety drugs treat it. I think perception and history plays a large part. We all know people that are...
  13. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    I dislike nursing more after years than I did initially, the first few months were hard. At some point I stopped giving patients the benefit of the doubt and realized how many people take advantage of the system and are just there for drugs. That h...
  14. First Code/Death

    I am an ER nurse, have been for over 3 years. I still don't feel completely comfortable in a code. I feel a lot more comfortable than I did. I realize what things need to be done for the most part. I am uncomfortable with anything I don't do on a...
  15. How to get into informatics?

    I am accepted to NP school and just the salaries for NP's aren't great I was thinking informatics from what I am reading would be lower stress regular hours and maybe even pay better. NP starts in the fall trying to make a decision soon. It just do...
