  1. Does RN experience improve NP competency?

    I essentially wrote a paper reviewing the evidence, and it concluded that RN experience is not required to be a good NP. There was not one single study to the contrary. Your anecdotal opinion does not contribute to a scholarly discussion.
  2. Does RN experience improve NP competency?

    I'm sorry you have a problem, but the evidence does not support your view. In addition, it is highly unreasonable to demand that NPs that do not have the background you prefer have a different title. Good luck with that.
  3. Did I ruin my chances?

    I'm curious - how did the corrections management make you feel your RN license was in jeopardy? Was this because of actions you took as an RN there? If this a smaller town or city with only 1 hospital, people at the hospital may have heard neg...
  4. Go to the Calif BON website to get answers to your questions. Getting a CA license takes a long time - so check the processing times on the Calif BON website. It is the hardest license to get of all the states. You will need to carefully revie...
  5. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

    What is sad is the attitude of many prospective NPs and NPs that school doesn't matter - they openly ask for the easiest and fastest school, with no consideration of quality. My attitude is common. I stated I will not consider hiring an NP that...
  6. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

    I am now in charge of recruiting for our practice. If I see an NP resume and the person has only gone to diploma mills, I pass. If someone has gone to reputable schools for part of their education, then I will consider them. For example, the...
  7. You are exactly the type of person that SHOULD become an NP! We need more people like you! Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of RNs that don't think through whether or not they should be an NP.
  8. Future NP in need of advice

    Congratulations on acceptance to a PMHNP program! If you want to work remote, PMHNP is your best bet. However, there are options for RNs and FNPs to do telehealth. RNs can perform case management. There are also telehealth jobs for primary ca...
  9. In CA, RNs have a union. That is rare, and is also why CA RNs make more money. There are location differences - jobs in the SF Bay Area and Silicon Valley will pay more due to the higher cost of living there. I believe Kaiser in the Bay...
  10. If I was making $228,800 per year as a perm employee with great benefits, I'd hang on to that job for dear life! That is more than some MDs make. If RNs can make that kind of money, then why on earth become an NP? An RN requires only a bachelor's ...
  11. Just a quick update: I was so shocked that the candidate said they are making $110 per hour as an RN that is a permanent employee, I did some research and it doesn't add up. $110 per hour x 2,000 hours = OVER $220,000 per year! ($228,800 to be ...
  12. If you are an RN in Calif thinking about becoming an NP, please carefully research and think about this. Be familiar with the typical NP compensation. Becoming an NP is not necessarily the way to make more money! RNs in Calif are paid the hi...
  13. Which FNP school

    You need to talk to someone at Univ of South Carolina. Walden is one of the for-profit diploma mills.
  14. Odd Work Letter Request by Patient

    I am not suggesting NPs work 1-2 hrs OT every day. My first job was in a rural primary care clinic where the providers had to write their own letters for pts, fill out disability forms, etc. At that job, once I got up to speed, I probably worked 1-...
  15. Odd Work Letter Request by Patient

    Just want to add that many NPs on this forum have complained they want to be paid more. It seems unfair that their appts are reimbursed at almost the same rate as MDs, but NPs make a lot less. MDs work their behinds off. All the MDs I know p...
