1. Decent new grad pay

   Aussierules1985 replied to ashonman's topic in NP

   I can guarantee its not just women... I was just young, inexperienced, and in a very poor area. I did what I had to. I needed the experience. When my wife moved to a real market; the wage went way up. Agree with the discussing pay etc. I do too.

2. Am I really a NP if I do laser hair removal?

   Aussierules1985 replied to wildcatarnp's topic in NP

   I work in an area that is not generally well accepted/well thought of. In my opinion do what makes you happy, personally I'm too new for quitting yet(low experience to move to my desired area), but fully plan to in another year(only 2 total since gra...

3. Education Career

   Aussierules1985 replied to SoJoFlo's topic in Educators

   This is exactly the reason I haven't applied for teaching; they all are M-F during the working hours... I'm dying inside to try teaching, it just sounds like so much fun to me. I wish I could help you... Good luck though!!

4. Recent NWCC graduate

   Aussierules1985 replied to JUSTanLPN's topic in Mississippi

   Unfortunately, I seem to think that the critical fail outside of academically passing is everywhere. I understand the purpose, but it is indeed ridiculous. I started nursing way before I was ready to study, and had trouble... but I figured it out. ...

5. Where are all those desperate new grads?

   Aussierules1985 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in NP

   Good luck on the search! I wish I would have known how to search as well as some of you guys. It took me nearly three months, ever since then its a breeze! But experience, and as discussed, moving, is a big plus!

6. FNP the good, bad and ugly (if any)??

   Aussierules1985 replied to Cindy-20's topic in NP

   Money. Security. Options. Annoying patients, more annoying management, more so annoying having to manage my staff.

7. Can anyone relate to delay in providing employee contract?

   Aussierules1985 replied to lvan0904's topic in NP

   I'm pretty new in this area too, but I must say, if you haven't signed, i'd be gone... No pay.. no provider. My clinics are exploding in hiring, but the management is a little unorganized; they didn't pay my co-worker PA when he was promised to star...

8. NP Programs that Provide Preceptors

   Aussierules1985 replied to diana_lopez's topic in NP Students

   Ole Miss (FNP provides preceptors)! And whatever school you're thinking about in the North, we're cheaper! ... and warmer in Winter! Good luck!

9. The Florida job market cannot be this bad?!

   Aussierules1985 replied to reddgirl's topic in NP

   Yep, mobility was huge. I got a local job where I graduated, then got a 40% pay bump up north! Did you try temping in an indian reservation or something? I mean idk, but they have temp gigs for sure there. May want to look into those. IMO. (I know y...

    Networking is the most important thing.

11. Need some advice from my fellow NPs

    Aussierules1985 replied to nursegreen's topic in NP

    Good luck! PS yeah it happens way too much!

12. FNP new grad -- offered a GI job -- should I take it?

    Aussierules1985 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in NP

    Having to be forced to stay in an area is a serious limitation to finding a good job. Personally i'd take it if you like the work and the people. Finding ideal jobs are hard to come by straight out. They never offer great pay that early IMO... but af...

13. DNP....Is it worth it for me????

    Aussierules1985 replied to Spazzerific9's topic in Advanced

    I love y'alls situation. I would never worry about the money IMO. My wife's a resident in surgery, in this country unless your/your significant others family is extremely wealthy you are going to med schools usually on loans. Do what you want, now, b...

14. Any NPs working for the VA?

    Aussierules1985 replied to NPAlby's topic in NP

    Just be careful megan, your job is up to you to convince these people you're worth it... seventy is very very reasonable out of school though.

15. future RN-BSN student needs guidance

    Aussierules1985 replied to V.Mejia's topic in Advanced

    Not from your area but IMO isn't GCU an online university? Just saying I personally think that the clinical classes are more important when asking what school, but still, if its an online school, I do feel like anything would be better, then again so...
