   v1cky84 replied to FloridaNP's topic in NP

   Hang in there!!! It took me a year to find a NP job even though I had a few years of bedside nursing experience by the time I graduated with my NP certificate. The position wasn't even posted and I had to take a pay cut but it was a start. I was re...

   This will be only a part-time job...I have another part-time job that would give me more stability and benefits. I won't be getting any benefits with this job. According to the company, NPs can do recertification in CA. I'm considering requesting f...

5. Average Hospice NP pay per visit

   v1cky84 replied to v1cky84's topic in NP

   You're right...kind of worried about the wear and tear on my car. That's why I was thinking of asking for a higher pay (esp considering the gas prices and higher cost on fixing cars) but it's hard because I am not familiar with how much hospice NPs ...

   Thank you so much for replying. I will probably drive about 20-25 miles away from home at the most. When I asked them how many pt I'm going to see per day, they told me it all depends on how far apart the patients are located. I will also be getti...

   Thank you both for replying. I don't know how many pt I will be seeing in a day. It depends on how far apart the patients are located. I will be getting 51 cent per mile (they told me that's per IRS standard). I think average pay for new NP in th...

   Hi, I was just offered a Hospice NP position in LA area at $75/visit + mileage. Does this pay seem fair? The position is to re-certify the patients and make sure they are still eligible for hospice care. I have been working in ICU as bedside RN for a...

11. Sutter Amador Hospital?

    v1cky84 replied to debi19551's topic in California

    I did my ICU preceptorship at that hospital summer of '06. I had a great experience there. I don't know about the other units, but my experience with the ICU RNs were awesome. They were all very friendly and supportive of me. They worked well tog...

12. My NCLEX shut off at 77 Q

    v1cky84 posted a topic in NCLEX

    *Arrrrggggghhhh* I honestly don't know what to think. Just like so many of you here, I'm so anxious about my result. I'm trying to convince myself that I passed. 77Q in itself is a good sign, isn't it? I got a lot of priority questions ("which one...

13. Cal State Long Beach Students!!!

    v1cky84 replied to barbie q's topic in California

    It is definitely hard to get into CSULB. You have to have good grades to get in. In regards to trimester and basic program, they only do lottery. In a way, it is fair because more students are interested in getting into the trimester than the basi...
