   Yes it's scenic if you enjoy viewing tons of snow! I'm trying to get away from the cold lol. My plan is to relocate down south in the next 5 years or so, but I have a feeling opportunities will not be as plentiful as they were for you. Do you see chi...

3. Malpractice Insurance

   Mookiepsychnp replied to RNnowFNP's topic in Advanced

   Yes my policy does have a consent to settle clause, however I was unaware it had no bearing on my employer. What protection do you have if you are named with a group of people and you may have had contact with the patient but did not directly contrib...

4. Psych np or family np

   Mookiepsychnp replied to wayemika's topic in NP Students

   If you truly enjoy and love psych I would go for that first. You could always return back for your FNP. Based on some of the postings here, some parts of Florida appear to be very saturated with FNPs, however being bilingual is definitely an asset. ...

5. Malpractice Insurance

   Mookiepsychnp replied to RNnowFNP's topic in Advanced

   I definitely have my own no matter what the company provides. They may decide to settle a case, which would have my name attached even if innocent. I always feel better safe than sorry.

6. NP/PMHNP entry pay

   @dumplins I see this as well. Even when recruiter's send me things for NYC it's usually no more than $135k. I did receive an email for Upstate NY for $150k! No thanks! lol

   Everybody in their cousin wants psych now too! lol Every NP student I know (NorthEast) is going back to school for psych NP. Don't know how much longer we will be considered hot. Pay is definitely geographic. Everyone is not going to earn $150K or ...

8. Salaried vs hourly

   Mookiepsychnp replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in NP

   I'm salaried and most NPs in my area are salaried unless they work per diem or contract work. However any on-call or other duties would require additional compensation. Three CEU/CME days, $1100-1500 for CME, 4-5 weeks vacation and payment for licens...

9. FNU Class 146

   Mookiepsychnp replied to parks0924's topic in NP Students

   I have been seriously considering FNU for their DNP, however I am having some concerns about their national accreditation. Has anyone else heard of the reevaluation of recognition status of ACEN?

10. Frontier NPs not well trained?

    Mookiepsychnp replied to acpmoreno's topic in General Nursing

    I have been considering their DNP but have concerns over their national accreditation. They are accredited by ACEN which appears to at risk for loss of recognition.

11. FNP working in Psych??

    Mookiepsychnp replied to FNPAPN's topic in NP

    Alexb45 Correct me if wrong, but there isn't a specialty certification for cardiology or dermatology so if you as an FNP who are trained as generalist works in either, you are not out of scope of practice. Psychiatry is a specialty that requires exte...

12. FNP working in Psych??

    Mookiepsychnp replied to FNPAPN's topic in NP

    This issue really has absolutely nothing to do with "turf wars" but it is all about scope of practice and malpractice. If you are a FNP you are still practicing within your scope of practice if a cardiologist or dermatologist decides to give you adv...
