   Uroboros - All very good points to consider. Thanks for your input. I don't intend to say anything to her because if she is happy, then I'm happy for her. And your red leather comment made me chuckle ?

   Hi all, A friend of mine just graduated NP school in December and recently landed a new job at a large healthcare corporation in the southeast. She is salaried, working full-time, and excitedly told me her salary is ~$85k. I didn't want to burst her ...

6. What can I do with my MSN-FNP that doesn't require much patient contact

   HealthNutNP replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in NP

   Definitely research different specialities and perhaps reach out to NPs or PAs in those positions to get a feel for their true day-to-day responsibilities/expectations. I worked in primary care for 2 years after graduation and HATED it. I looked at i...

7. Where do I go from here?

   HealthNutNP replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

   I would use your pediatric oncology/bone marrow transplant experience as a selling point. Oncology Navigators need to have some oncology experience to do the job well. Do you have freestanding oncology practices in your area? Apply to them - even if ...

11. Considering a change, will this make finding an ACNP job more difficult?

    HealthNutNP replied to RNDarling's topic in NP

    How long have you worked in ICU? If you've been there for a decent amount of time to gain adequate experience (i.e. > 12 months), and especially if you've made good connections, then I think a move to a unit for better scheduling is fine. Schools ...

13. Reduced schedule in new NP position

    HealthNutNP replied to HealthNutNP's topic in NP

    Thank you all for your comments. We don't have family close by, but we hope to hire a nanny. As this is my first child, I don't know what to expect and I am nervous about the possibility that I won't be ready to go back to work and leave my baby with...
