  3. Offensive Raise Structure

    Depends on the the salary max(cap). Many HCO’s are still very antiquated starting new nurses extremely low requiring them to work 15 to 20 years before they hit mid tier or near top out. Keeping this in mind they are doing something that most trade ...
  4. I Am Absolutely Miserable Because I Hate Being A Nurse

    This!! Along the same lines, I would like to see statistics on how many new nursing school enrollees come from a family with parents who are nurses. I am quite honestly shocked at how many new nurses or nursing students are in the field because its t...
  5. I Am Absolutely Miserable Because I Hate Being A Nurse

    Assuming you have your bachelors degree, there are some lucrative and rewarding things you can do with that foundation. One option that is still in healthcare would be to pursue your Pharm.D., this would allow a relatively quick ROI, and put you...
  6. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    If the room is cold and all you do is complain and look to people to support the complaint by chiming in to validate the cold room...but then a person or two says to get up and turn on the heater, are they not supportive? Offering a possible solution...
  7. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    Definitely challenging times in this profession. But every NP or “supply” can say no to any given offer, subsequently controlling their market. The biggest factor relating to why this does not happen is movement...as seen in other posts. Very...

  9. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    This makes me sad. Why not move for better pay? It’s a pain, but you are leaving 1000’s on the table, like way of life changing money! Plus they are already shitting on your value...the altruistic nursing mindset is tough to get past due to compensat...
  10. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    It’s basic economics, supply and demand. Too many NP’s in the hiring pool, most NP’s are scared to negotiate, and honestly most HCO’s do not negotiate due to how easily replaceable an NP is. I have hired new grad pharmacists for 30k-50k a year m...

    When you see something say something...Gaslighting! there is no doubt the author is a strong, proud, amazing nurse, but these stories could be the same story for race, LGBQT, male, Muslim, Christian, and above all A NEW FREAKING NURSE! It is sad t...
  12. What would you do?

    Stay as far away from nursing as possible...at your age go get a PharmD degree and not only accelerate your ROI, but get to that FIRE. I personally only started making “decent” money (100k+) as a nurse after I went to grad school and switched to man...

  14. Pursuing Nursing - Need Direction

    You may have answered this, but why nursing? You could finalize a Pharm.D. in essentially the same amount of time, and come into the marketplace anywhere in the Midwest at 130K first year, This would maximize your ROI exponentially when compared to n...
  15. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    So maybe we should be taking a moment to reflect on all of the changes in our healthcare delivery system as possibly needed prior to taking this personal. Many “perfect” “not broken“ “the way we always did it“ HCO’s have been brought back from the br...
