1. NNAS experience?

   phosphorus replied to jmariel's topic in Registration

   That's what I figured. I did an accelerated BSN and despite their reassurances I worried without my prior BA they'd reject it. The hardest part is reaching the boards of nursing so far just to see how they want it. I'm still nervous the schools and B...

2. Sacramento Nurse Practitioner working conditions

   phosphorus replied to phosphorus's topic in Advanced

   Kaiser treats you pretty well and pays excellent however they restrict NP practice in draconian and bizarre ways essentially because they are controlled by MDs and management trying to find ways around having to pay people for their work. NPs are bas...

4. Travel NP to Australia and South Africa

   phosphorus posted a topic in NP

   Curious for information on travel contracts (or individually arranged) to Australia and South Africa, ideally around Brisbane or Durban. Any experience with any particular agencies? The Australian np market looks pretty bad at present via indeed, but...

5. Sacramento Nurse Practitioner working conditions

   phosphorus posted a topic in Advanced

   I'm an NP in an FQHC. I had pegged some hopes on NHSC funding, but essentially all the area FQHCs have pretty low score and that seems like a long shot now. As far as I can tell for primary care many places pay around 115k with 2wks vacation, but a g...

6. Anyone works at an Internal Medicine clinic?

   phosphorus replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in NP

   Expect to be slow when you're new. You'll get progressively better at your job and time per visit (if it's well organized) though I'd give it 1-2 yr. After a few months you'll get a groove. Utilize MAs and ancillary staff to the max. They often don't...

7. Graduated 7 months ago FL- still no job!

   phosphorus replied to Agriffin2's topic in NP

   I left Florida for similar reasons, but it's worth noting anyone in major urban areas in general tend to spent 6mo-1.5yr unemployed out of school. It took me 9 months to find a job in Miami, which ended up exploiting me and using me in largely a bure...

8. Salary!?

   phosphorus replied to roman1006's topic in NP

   Out of school in Miami most made 75-85k, which is what I made. I moved to California and make 115k. Likely with a little more experience I'll make more, but having state income tax cuts off ~12k of that out the door vs florida.

9. NHSC loan repayment program with HPSA 12 at FQHC

   phosphorus replied to phosphorus's topic in Advanced

   I had a similar experience with nurse corps but applying via a major urban hospital system as an RN. In general I believe it takes 7-10 months (took 10 months for me previously to receive a rejection). I'm not sure if nurse corps uses the same criter...

10. NHSC loan repayment program with HPSA 12 at FQHC

    phosphorus posted a topic in Advanced

    I'm looking for some advice. I recently started working at an FQHC who lured me and a number of practitioners with the promise of NHSC loan repayment. At the time I was a bit mixed up as California has a series of different programs, and I hoped the ...

11. Problems with CA Board of Nursing wait times in endorsement applications

    phosphorus posted a topic in California

    I applied for my CA license by endorsement from FL in January. I got my RN as expected ~3mo later without incident. The NP license was a nightmare with them allegedly losing the check, then saying they disposed of all documents because it had been &g...

12. Call pay

    phosphorus replied to marinp's topic in NP

    I got an offer where they specify 5 days a month on call at 5$/hr and 60$/hr if I have to go in (wage around 50$/hr normally). Any tips for negotiating around that? Does that generally include when you are required to stay after or work additional da...

13. Florida Collaborative agreement if not treating

    phosphorus replied to phosphorus's topic in Advanced

    Got confirmation from the board, you always need a collaborating physician. This leads me to suspect that there are agencies and NPs out there doing this type of work without following state regulations...

14. Florida Collaborative agreement if not treating

    phosphorus posted a topic in Advanced

    As I understand it, NPs must work under a collaborative agreement with a physician. I was contacted by an agency that does compensation type evaluations. They said that NPs don't generally need agreements if you're not prescribing, but I should look ...

15. NP in Nursing Home/SNF

    phosphorus replied to anh06005's topic in NP

    Can you elaborate more on that? I know what you mean, I've worked in those environments but would we not be at least culpable from a health perspective or are you talking smaller things like living conditions?
