  3. New Grad FNP. Work in FL or AZ?

    My advice is to not get hung up on the location but the actual offers (contract) you receive. Apply in FL and AZ. I am in FL and feel salaries are lower, but if you can find employment with benefits and income that work for you you'll be fine! Best ...

    We always will need physicians, they should never be eliminated.
  5. Meaning of your username?

    I signed a noncompete too, but 10 miles within same specialty. 30 miles is insane. Definitely wouldn't sign three year contract either. At 75k with two years experience, you are being taken advantage of. You are billing $350,000 and deserve a portion...

    At what point in your program will you be able to get RN license? I would try to find a job as an RN, even if PRN. No need to get CNA license if you are in NP program.
  11. Negotiating my salary is exhausting!

    I hope you are aware we are discussing new grad NP and not RN. I would not tell anyone to take an NP job for 32/hr with their eyes closed. Please keep your eyes open fellow new grads :)
