1. No NP jobs. What now?

   OkieNP replied to OkieNP's topic in NP

   I will say as a full disclosure, I haven’t actually been trying full force to get a new position, ha! I just know that amount of job postings are down and the number of applicants per job is 40+. I’m not a new grad, I’ve been an NP for 6 years. I am ...

2. No NP jobs. What now?

   OkieNP replied to OkieNP's topic in NP

   No I don’t necessarily want to work in a hospital, I think after 5 years of it I would actually prefer not to. I don’t want to become an acute care NP especially if there will be 45 people applying to all the hospital jobs. I do not at all live in a ...

3. No NP jobs. What now?

   OkieNP posted a topic in NP

   In my area the NP job market is saturated. We had an opening at my place of work and had over 45 applicants for a nurse practitioner position. I’ve had the same NP job for 5 years. They’re now not hiring FNPs for hospital work either (which is all I’...

4. Summers off

   Nursing educators: do you get the summer off? How does that work with your pay? Interested to hear how it works with you!

5. FNP to PNP?

   OkieNP posted a topic in NP Students

   This may sound ridiculous I realize, but here we go anyway! I'm an FNP who works in a peds. I foresee myself working with kids. I feel like it would be possible for me to move around jobs in peds (@ this company at least) with my current qualificatio...

6. They pay what???

   OkieNP replied to studentnurserachel's topic in Educators

   I made 41,500 for 9 months in Oklahoma during the 2013-2014 school year, working (at the college) 32 hours a week, plus prepping for lectures (20ish hours of work x 6 a semester on my "free time"). Not bad really, but as an NP in the same area I make...

7. Online adjunct faculty?

   OkieNP replied to joyrochelle's topic in Educators

   Did you decide to try it? I have toddlers as well and thought about doing this (I taught previously full time in an undergrad program before I became an FNP) but the pay vs the time spent working on the course does not really compare to just working ...

8. Adjunct Nurse Educator

   OkieNP replied to vokaybo's topic in Career Support

   Is this for undergraduate or graduate online adjunct positions? Does the amount increase for graduate level? I have a year of previous full time undergraduate faculty experience with an MSN in education and a post master's as an FNP. I am considering...

9. Where are the online adjunct nurse educator positions?

   OkieNP replied to Confused9999's topic in Educators

   Can you expand on this point a bit? I am considering trying my hand at online adjunct positions while homeschooling my children, I previously worked for a year as a full time faculty in an RN program and have since become an FNP. I thought I could wo...

10. How to pass the FNP boards

    OkieNP posted a topic in NP Students

    This is my 2 cents on what did and didn't work for me when studying for the FNP boards. I thought I would share since before going to NP school I was an undergraduate nursing professor and I have spent a lot of time trying to "figure out" the systems...
