2. Hospice nurse practitioner salary

   Pallspice_NP replied to Azureshunter's topic in NP

   It sounds like a pretty good offer to me! Do they reimburse for mileage as well? In Texas, NPs usually make around $45/hr and $100 per face to face visit.

3. FNP's in acute care

   Pallspice_NP replied to direw0lf's topic in NP

   Hmmm, the short answer is no. FNP programs are not geared towards inpatient work. However, I am an FNP and work inpatient palliative at a major hospital. It really depends upon the specialty you are seeking and your employment history. I have worked ...

4. Nurse Practitionor School Personal Statement

   Pallspice_NP replied to Back to December's topic in NP Students

   I absolutely LOVE your passion for nursing! ? You definitely have had such wonderful experiences. I advise that you condense the 1st two paragraphs into one paragraph, from the volunteer experiences -> CNA experience, so it isn't too lengthy. FNP ...

5. What are the low stress nurse practitioner jobs

   Pallspice_NP replied to Azureshunter's topic in NP Students

   If you can find a FT Hospice NP position, that would probably fit what you're looking for. But, those are pretty difficult to come by as most small hospices do not have the funding to support FT NPs. If it's something you're interested in, the larger...

6. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

   Pallspice_NP replied to lvICU's topic in NP

   Omg, I lasted hardly 2 months doing these assessments with MedXM PRN. Yes, you are an independent contractor. Pay is $100/visit, and mileage is only paid when you exceed 50 miles/day. Scheduling was the worst! My patients would be so far spread out, ...

7. How bad do I want it?

   Pallspice_NP replied to Power2020's topic in NP

   I'm also in Texas! But, in a large metro area. I would interview for the family practice job and see what gives. If you don't like the stipulations, you can always say no/negotiate, but it doesn't hurt to interview ? 85k is SUPER LOW for new grad sal...

   Pallspice_NP replied to WinterWolf90's topic in NP

   I love, love, love LinkedIn! You can connect directly with recruiters, HR, hiring managers, etc...and message them regarding current and future openings! I landed one of my jobs that way ? Ziprecruiter and Indeed are useful, but you have to watch out...

9. The Healthcare Hierarchy

   Pallspice_NP replied to Pallspice_NP's topic in General Nursing

   @"nursy" For some reason, I'm not able to quote your post. You could not be more correct about the work culture. The physicians, by far, are excluded from disciplinary action. I have experienced that time and time again with different employers I hav...

10. The Healthcare Hierarchy

    Pallspice_NP replied to Pallspice_NP's topic in General Nursing

    You're absolutely right and I love your thought process. It's just horrible how some people always feel the need to compete. With that, we lose sight of who we are supposed to be serving in the first place...the patient. And, their care becomes compr...

    Pallspice_NP replied to gopats1234's topic in Spirituality

    I do believe that God works in mysterious ways! Certain nursing fields and experiences may increase your exposure to the inner workings of God, test your faith, and allow you to reflect upon your relationship with God. I have worked in hospice and pa...
