1. How do you remain polite and professional with people who don't believe in the Covid vaccine who come to your clinic wanting treatment?

   BChapp3182 replied to Myruby's topic in NP

   Your body your choice. I will give my medical advice on things like eat less McDonalds, exercise more, get some fatty acids, etc but it is in no way our place to do any more than that. All vaccines, medical treatments, medications, etc are voluntary...

7. Aesthetic/Medical Spa Nursing

   BChapp3182 replied to tucker12's topic in California

   Salary is going to be difficult to pin down as it ranges based on experience. I've seen it pays the same as regular nursing jobs, not more. You do get tips from customers sometimes. I have been both an RN and ARNP in aesthetics making $30/hr as an...

   I am also in S. FL. Graduated May 2009. Most of my classmates that got NP jobs were RNs in the same hospital department and most in a very specialized area like pediatric neuro. They had been RNs in these jobs for years and were able to stay on as...

13. Changing Careers....is Nursing a good choice? Need some Advice!

    BChapp3182 replied to Jepa23's topic in General Nursing

    I would not go into nursing if you have worked your way up in your current position. I'd focus instead on how to make my current job better before I went and took a pay cut and jumped into a field I knew nothing about. The grass is NOT always green...

14. New grad FNP- will taking this job pigeon hole me?

    BChapp3182 replied to abcdefg's topic in NP

    Take the job. Unless you have offers and lots of interviews take the job. It's next to impossible for new grad NPs to get jobs in this economy and you need to start working as an NP in any capacity. It does not sound like the drug dealing type of ...
