  1. Looking back, would you obtain NP credential??

    I went back for my FNP at 39 with a military husband and two kids (and two dogs). It was a struggle to balance everything and I taught my kids to try and get my attention by telling me "I really need you to focus on me now". I was very focused on s...
  2. I finished the program last summer and have been working as an NP for almost 6 months now. I didn't have the option of a b&m because of my location. Had I wanted to go it would have required at least a 1 1/2 hour drive each way. I don't know. ...
  3. FamilyNPPrep Test Scores

    I was getting in the 70's to low 80's and passed AANP with no problem. Just relax and you will do fine!
  4. Family Nurse Practitioner in the Navy Nurse Corps

    Having been a Navy wife for 20 years now, I will tell you the Navy is not wonderful at keeping you stationed together - I have seen it over and over that Navy spouses are separated. Also, you should assume that you will be deployed, probably on a sc...
  5. New Primary Care NPs

    They don't normally see the patient. I consult if I have a question, but they are just reviewing the charts and signing off since I am not credentialed with all insurance companies yet. I think there are a few companies who don't allow just a sign o...
  6. New Primary Care NPs

    I just started working as an NP in October, still working on credentialing. All my charts are signed off by someone who is credentialed until we are through the process.
  7. Life Insurance

    Hi, Started my first job as an NP several weeks ago and was told yesterday that the office will take a life insurance policy out for me of which they are the beneficiary. Now, I understand the reasoning behind it, lost income in the event of my deat...
  8. Can anyone relate to delay in providing employee contract?

    My contract had to be sent to the lawyers to be written, when I went in to sign it, the pay was wrong, they had switched me from salary to hourly, which was not in my favor. Office manager apologized but I have not seen my new contract although I wa...
  9. Misty, I visited campus three times during my two year program. The summer before I began, the summer between the 1st and 2nd year and then at the beginning of summer prior to my last summer class of the program which coincides with GWs graduation w...
  10. Group projects did not need to be done in person but were usually done through e-mail, file sharing or when necessary Skype. I would say that there was at least one group project a semester with some classes requiring more. Not really a big deal an...
  11. Advice please

    So I am finishing up FNP school and have three job offers and need some advice about which to choose. The salaries are all fairly similar (Womens health pays a little less, but they get 1/2 days every Friday so it evens out) and all say the offer bo...
  12. Another salary question

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll let you know when we get to the end. There is a lot of other things to be considered in the job offers as well and I need to have both of them in front of me to really be able to compare.
  13. Another salary question

    I wish I could find the new graduate mean. Tried school and they didn't really help me with a number, lots of advice, but not really what is a realistic expectation in my area. Which job do I choose, salary aside though - family practice or OB/GYN?
  14. It is possible, but the semesters where you have 4 classes will be reading/paper/quiz intensive and the semesters that you have fewer classes will most likely have a lot of clinical hours. Do you have a family or a lot of other things occupying your...
  15. Another salary question

    So, I now have two job offers. One with family practice - I do not know the salary yet but the MD seemed shocked when I said 90,000 and repeatedly told me that this would be a residency year and after a year of training with him I could go anywhere....
