   Caring isn't enough as a psych NP

   juschillin replied to juschillin's topic in NP

   Thank you for these thoughts. I think every community mental health and/or outpt clinic has different levels of acuity and there isn't one method that will work for them all. I have a lot of clients that need higher levels of care, such as ACTT or CS...

   Negotiating Salary -- Do it!

   juschillin replied to juschillin's topic in Advanced

   juschillin posted a topic in Advanced

   Hello, I just needed to vent a little... Today I accepted a psych NP position without countering on their salary offer. All I asked for was annual CME conference allowance, separate personal malpractice allowance, and up-front payment for my DEA numb...

   Reflections of a Locum Tenens Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

   juschillin replied to Psychcns's topic in Psychiatric

   Thank you for sharing your story. I'm hoping to have a locums position soon, and it probably will be in "Appalachia", so I can empathize with you. Also, when I have a paycheck again I'm going to subscribe to the Carlat newsletter, and probably by his...

   Billable services in psychiatry for MSN not NP

   juschillin replied to juschillin's topic in Advanced

   Thank you Jeremy, and Psychcns for your information. Yesterday I was reading about "incident to", and SBIRT, and it seems like there are services that can be billed. I don't know if other states have the designation "Qualified Mental Health Professio...

    Just this week I met a gal who was preparing for graduation from Frontier's NP program and she had lots of positives to report about the program... just commenting on that since you just mentioned it. I was just accepted into a post grad certificate...

    Enticing preceptors: What to offer?

    juschillin replied to juschillin's topic in NP

    While networking today, I spoke with a local pediatric NP who said that her office gets DAILY requests from NP's needing clinical hours and preceptor time. She said that there is just not enough time to do it, plain and simple, and there is no amount...

    Enticing preceptors: What to offer?

    juschillin replied to juschillin's topic in NP

    Thanks UNCNP. It's an issue of time, yes. One of my colleagues in SC precepts at the VA and is already so slammed with her regular job duties... chillnurse, you're correct in that some people just don't want the bother of helping someone. I'm glad t...

    I'm renewing PMHNP certification (following a few years away from practice for family leave) and need 400 clinical hours. When I graduated in 2003 the only enticement for a preceptor to have someone tagging along was their ability to use the time for...
