  1. Planned Parenthood NP

    Hi Melanie, To answer your question, yes PP hires New Grads and honestly I think they prefer New Grads. PP was my first job as a New Grad and I had no women's health experience at all. I think I had 50 hrs of clinical rotation in women's health...

  6. Hospital and fellowship preference? ANCC vs AANP

    Hi, I do not work in the hospital setting but as long as you are board certified I would not think it matters. Any job that you apply will say you will need to be board certified but either ANCC or AANP, it never specifies one over the other. Bu...

  10. NP income in the State of TEXAS compared to California

    Great, thank you for response!! Good to know Austin pays low! I’m also looking at areas north of Dallas and Houston so sounds like the pay is better. Texas seems to pay just a little less than CA.

  12. Help- Minute Clinic or Planned Parenthood?

    Congrats Medsurge!!! Part time 4 days a week with a set schedule sounds great! That is so much more doable with having a young child. You can always keep checking the other affiliate for positions to work closer to home. I do not have my own Malprac...
  13. Help- Minute Clinic or Planned Parenthood?

    Hi Medsurge, Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!! Okay, so I'm going to give you my honest opinion on traveling 2-3 hours a day, its going to be very hard and draining on you. Its very difficult to juggle being a mom and working, add extra travel each ...
  14. Help- Minute Clinic or Planned Parenthood?
