    NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

    I have zero desire to be a psych NP, some metal health issues are so complex and you have to want to treat those conditions. I do some psych for my primary care patients, but only basics like anxiety, depression, ADHD. I worked as a telehealth ment...

    NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

    Yes, they 100% do! At least here in the NE they certainly do. One of my first jobs I did telehealth mental health, it was 1099 (you get KILLED in taxes UGH) and I worked from home. I opted to only see patients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, some SU...

    Disagreeing with your supervising doctor

    You run every patient and your assessment and plan by the physician? That seems like a lot unless you are brand new and still unsure. I have a lovely collab going physician, I run things by her only if they are complex, something I've not treated or ...

    Disagreeing with your supervising doctor

    First things first, stop using the term "midlevel" it is derogatory and misleading. Many of us are trying to end the use of that term as it implies we give middle of the road care rather than a high level of care. We are nurse practitioner providers,...

    Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    I will say to you what I say to anyone questioning NP as a career-you need to do it because you want to, you want to be in the role of the provider because you like that level of knowledge, because you enjoy it. Many folks take a pay cut because you...

    Inevitable Resignation

    The doses are conservative and that alone would likely not lead to death on its own, even if opioid naive. While this story is awful, it is also a lot of speculation. Sadly most SNF have their "preferred provider " fir hospice, which is wrong as pati...
  7. When it is 4 nurses from the same facility shirking duties and playing the blame game and the administrator and DON are gone that points to an organizational problem. There are of crap nurses out there, I have had the displeasure of working with many...

    Nursing School Physical

    One of my classmates in nursing school had a chronic, progressive lung disease and after our first semester she needed to be on oxygen. We all told her we would rally for her if they tried to do anything negative but it wasn't needed as accommodation...
  9. I think anyone who feels the nurses were the only ones at fault here are off the mark. The fact that 4 nurses were involved and several patients points to a systemic and cultural issue. Also the wound doc should have made better orders. Daily dressin...
  10. I can tell you why you don't hear from me, it's because I don't agree with you. Anyone who doesn't agree with you, or others like you, has a hoard of people jumping in to say how wrong one is, did they read the documents, etc. and you appear to feel ...

    Required Certifications

    You are salaried and doing a mandated training, I feel as though you should receive your salary OR they should pay for the course. Hospitals all over this country are short nurses and paying ridiculous fees for travelers. They should work on retainin...
  12. This post seems to have gotten to a place where if you don't agree people want to shut you down fast, which is sad. First off, it's a post about opinions, of which, everyone is entitled to their own. Second, this is a multifaceted topic, not just R...

    I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    You don't have to get a remote job in your state. I worked a remote job right out of FNP school and we could get licensed where ever we wanted and do visits being telehealth. Insurance companies are all over the country and they will hire out of sta...

    I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    I have done home health and hospice for many years. Currently as a NP I am doing other things but health in the home is quite incredible. I would suggest you stay where you are at while in school, but I'd start putting together a pitch to your hospit...
  15. If you don't agree with a certain group of people they will come at you over and over because they need to be right. I've not encountered a less open minded group in quite some time. It doesn't matter if you are talking about RaDonda or any other sub...
