  1. Studying for AANP 2014 Exam and feel like I know nothing

    So you've only been studying for 9 days total? Why the pressure to take the test so soon? Is there a job waiting? I'd try doing half what you're doing spread over at least a few more weeks. You can still move the date, right? If you are doubting your...
  2. Contract questions

    Crusin', IMO you may want to remove your picture from your avatar if you are talking so openly about your practice. Yes, do not sign a contract and try to stick it out for at least a year. I hope you find your dream job!
  3. All these NPs making less than RNs?

    In my experience, It all depends on the institution and what their payscale dictates. I have only interviewed at hospitals. One was a pay cut, but most were what I make now as an RN or $2-5 more an hour. I just had this discussion with my husband re...
  4. First job woes!

    That sounds like a lot of extra time you're putting in. Even if you were being paid, is all that work okay with you? Is he aware of how much you're taking home? I would bring it up, and that you'd like to be compensated or say, be taken off call ever...

  7. Where do NPs look for jobs?

    I look at Indeed and occasionally my states coalition of NP board..
  8. What is a reasonable new grad offer?

    I think it sounds pretty okay but not having any kind of retirement savings account would bother me. I suppose you could buy a tax-free IRA CD every tax year while you're there otherwise how will you save for it?
  9. Negotiating the new job

    Sorry. Yes, the NPs are viewed as a part of the nursing staff and therefor hospital staff meaning there is no special perks such as parking unfortunately.

    Juan-this is a hospital-based position and non-union..
  11. Negotiating the new job

    Hey all. Just curious aside of pay, what types of things have you negotiated into accepting a position? I'm awaiting an offer that will come this week for my first NP position. It's the the city and parking spaces are at a premium. The shortest wait ...
  12. First NP job as hospice

    I say hold out for something more closely aligned with primary care if you're still able to pay the bills with your job now..
  13. Best Stethoscope

    Hello, I'm about to accept a position for an inpatient role-very excited! I lost my old Littman SE stethoscope in the midst of clinical rotations. Which stethoscope is best? Should I just spend the $$ for the Littman Cardiology III? My role is not in...
  14. Experienced NP desiring VA job

    Good luck!!?
  15. Is it ever ok to quit without notice?

    I think since you already have another job lined up giving less than two weeks doesn't matter. Hopefully you've said your goodbyes already to your favorite patients or had letters sent out? Not sure how that works. Good luck with the new job and for ...
